most trajectories are not orbits
most functions are not differentiable
most programs do nothing
the universe is a desolate wilderness. we just live in the interesting/useful/meaningful parts of it.

Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Hurricane Polo.
Simply incredible.

okay so they show her in a texture scanning rig, so some of the scenes will be shot with another actor doing mocap

I’ve fallen into a similar pattern. Using natural language is a much better CRUD interface.
My personal vibecoded tools now mostly take the form of read-only dashboards. For the write/mutate path, I don’t even bother with UI, I just directly tell Claude to make some update to the data.

Anyone who’s worked in a large organization knows that, at the boundaries of different teams’ responsibilities, stuff falls through the cracks. The same phenomenon occurs where multiple SFPD precincts’ literal borders meet: sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h…

we might be in an era now where we'll discover more and more complex things "in the wild" and study them to understand the principle of the thing
Are there alien types of math that are more akin to biology than the beautiful math that we tend to study? Math that is unruly and inscrutable but has layers of depth and structure and is ultimately useful to understand and try to tame?

New wacky theory: the idea of qualia only occurs when you have an idea of interiorality which comes from silent reading, and not before
That’s why we get Cartesian Dualism after the printing press
Also why one of the rare pre-Cartesian accounts of internal thought appears in Augustine

A gift link, because this piece is indeed bracing and worth reading in its entirety: nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

a lot of the surprise of ai x math advances comes from people not internalizing test time compute scaling properly.
inference compute per problem has gone up sharply this year (consumer gpt in jan, $2k for unit distance, $15m for ns) partly bc ttc scaling has improved a lot

In personal news, I had a baby three months ago. Since many of my friends don't know what a baby is like, I wrote a little about it here: noahtye.com/i-have-met-the-b…
