Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable. "You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered. That struck me as a bizarre sentiment. What is there to be left behind from? If BitCoin (or whatever) is going…
We should revisit literate programming in the agent era

Literate programming is the idea that code should be intermingled with prose such that an uninformed reader could read a code base as a narrative, and come away with an understanding of how it works and what it does. Although I have long been intrigued by this idea, and have found uses for it in a couple1 of different cases2, I have found that in practice literate programming turns into a chore of maintaining two parallel narratives: the code itself, and the prose. This has obviously limited its adoption.
Teaching my laptop to understand sarcasm (Day 1)
Currently deep in the NLP (Natural Language Processing) grind for a college assignment. It’s honestly kind of mind-blowing when you realize that teaching a computer to "read" is basically like explaining a joke to a toddler.
A few things I learned today:
• Preprocessing is basically digital laundry. You have to "scrub" the text—stripping out the "the’s" and "is’s" and shrinking words down to their roots before the computer can even look at them.
• AI has a memory filter. I finally figured out LSTMs. They’re like a smart filter for the AI’s brain, helping it decide what’s worth keeping in its "long-term memory" and what’s just fluff.
• The "Attention" Secret. Modern AI doesn't read left-to-right anymore; it looks at the whole sentence at once and decides which words are the most important. It’s why ChatGPT feels so much more human than the chatbots from five years ago.
It’s a lot of math and a lot of late nights, but seeing the logic behind the "magic" is pretty satisfying.
