Finished "the art of doing science and engineering" recently. Hamming stuffed a lot of good insights in this book, but hidden behind anecdotes and not explicitly stated. Thinking about writing a book review to distill what I got out of reading it

Yes, this is because llms end their responses this way and it adds zero value, but this is very often the case for human writing too

If I see the words "in conclusion" in any piece of writing, be it an article, comment, or in a book my eyes will immediately glaze over and I skip that paragraph with zero regrets

Basically software to run a projector-camera pair user interface. You can assign programs to physical tokens that are picked up by the camera and then displayed on your work surface by the projector

@july I think you'll love this if you don't already know about it. It's basically dynamicland but the code is available on the internet (at a slightly jenkier early stage)

Learned about to folk.computer recently. It's an open source physical computing environment. I'm in the hunt for used hardware to set it up in my place now!

I'm trying to get into the habit of adding a flash card in thought saver for stuff that I really want to remember. But I'm only actually willing to interrupt my reading if it's something that gets me really excited in the moment

Anytime I see an internet comment starting with this I reflexively stop reading.

I really loved the old noir logo with the n and r mushed together. The new one is nice too, but the other one really got me in the right spot
