I stayed in a beautifully designed hotel in the desert that included blank pages with their letterhead & it was so fun to write a few notes to friends then drop them in the mailbox
a friend texted to see how my stay was going and i told her she had to wait

after finishing The Odyssey, my biggest takeaways are that men were much more ok with crying openly in antiquity, they were obsessed with having “well-oiled” feet, and Odysseus directly caused some of his men’s deaths through poor judgement

every time we pass this dog at the barbershop, he keeps two paws firmly planted in the threshold while saying hello
“my dad says I have to stay in the shop but I’m technically still in the shop”

ask the PM if they get insurance when they rent a car
also work under engineering leadership who is aligned with your values and will go to bat for you
how do i explain to my PM that i can't show any results yet because i spent the entire week making better architectural decisions, while my coworker Chad one shotted a comparable task in an hour and satisfied the business immediately?
i can't say "ask me in a year when you have to maintain Chad's code / when you see the CVEs", my performance review is today.
not implying anything here, it's a genuine question

This, but unironically. You should disable as many features as you can bear. It will sharpen your mind, and force you to keep a more complete picture of your code, which leads you to make better architectural decisions.

muse found the most low value way to push ads to users
I asked it why it sent me this, and it said it tagged me as someone interested in clothing, then pushed a fast fashion ad

south koreans are doing this while I’m asking my agent to add towels to my cart because online shopping is an experience that gives me negative dopamine
til that there are south korean “dopamine sites” that let you shop, check out, and even track a delivery that never comes, just to scratch the itch of wanting to buy something

Karpathy: disappears from X
Ben Affleck: alright, gather round, so you'll want to freeze the base weights first, learning rate 2e-4
Ben Affleck (Hollywood star & Artists Equity CEO) talks about how he fine-tunes open video models by unfreezing weights and trained only the last cinematic layer so a film crew can hit real production standards.
for context, Ben Affleck founded InterPositive in 2022, a 16-person AI shop for film post and Netflix bought it in March 2026 for $587 mn in cash.
He needed that model because public video models were trained on his peers' films, and he did not think that was a real business. So InterPositive raised money, shot its own dataset for 8 months on a controlled stage, and used it only as late-stage training.
Each new film then trains a private model on its own dailies, so the production keeps the footage and the learning. That is the product Netflix paid $587 million for.
