   ha! alias vz="vim ~/.zshrc && . ~.zshrc" is brilliant. Editing zshrc and sourcing is something I do pretty often. Never thought to alias

   This take feels like classic Cal Newport pattern-matching: something looks vaguely "consumerish," so it must signal decline. It's a huge overreach. Whether OpenAI becomes a truly massive, world-defining company is an open que

   This is theater/film at its best. It becomes a kind of moral mirror which forces people to look, to feel, and to act.

   Started this over the weekend. It's truly excellent. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

   That's true. Wanting openness in everyday tech isn't "absolutist" in itself. But the article's tone (and a lot of the FOSS movement's rhetoric) frames it as failure rather than frontier. Of course we'd all

   I think this post overstates the "loss" of free software. Yes, closed firmware and locked hardware are real gaps...but that doesn't erase the fact that open software has completely reshaped the modern stack. From Linux and K8

    ooh nice. I'll have to check this out. I tried yabai and it just wasn't stable enough to use. Messed around with a few others and eventually gave up on the idea of a TWM on Mac altogether

    I feel the same way. I've put a lot of time into getting fast and efficient with Vim, so the benefits of another editor would have to be substantial to justify switching. As nice as Helix looks, I'm not sure it offers enough to ma

    Thank you very much I'll check out these resources. ROB101 looks really great. I love the 3B1B videos, but I've noticed my attention tends to drift when watching videos. I've learned that I absorb information best through te

    Thanks. I have a copy of Strang and have been going through it intermittently. I am primarily focused on ML itself and that's been where I'm spending most of my time. I'm hoping to simultaneously improve my mathematical matur

    You're totally right. I left out the important context. I'm learning linear algebra mainly for applied use in ML/AI. I don't want to skip the theory entirely, but I've found that approaching it from the perspective

    This is great. I really appreciate visual explanations and the way you build up the motivation. I'm using a few resources to learn linear algebra right now, including "The No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra", which has been

    Genuinely curious because I don't know: when you group Swift with Rust here, do you mean in terms of memory safety guarantees or in the sense of being used for systems-level projects? I've always thought of Swift as having runtime

    I'm learning linalg now. I've just started the first chapter of this book, and it looks pretty solid. Does anyone know a simple way to turn pages like these into an EPUB so I can read them on my Kindle?

    Being late to ship doesn't erase a structural edge. Google is sitting on everyone's email, calendar, docs, and search history. Like, yeah they might be a lap or two behind but they're in a car with a freaking turbo engine. Th

    Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats and what not that lets them surface context-rich updates naturally. OpenAI doesn't have that same ecosystem lock-in yet, so to really

    I still check in on PH from time to time. It's rarely productive (mostly mental junk food), but once in a while something interesting shows up. For years it's been dominated by self-promotion, grift, and shallow thought-leadership

    No shade here, just a genuine question: why run ads on a blog like this? A personal technical blog probably doesn't get a ton of traffic. So what's the point? I'm honestly curious.
