Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 12/10/2026I think there's a big gulf between people who use e.g. coding agents (where this would be actively detracting + annoying) and people whose exposure to LLMs is mostly google search AI overview (where the output *is* ~equivalent to the average of what people are saying) 110

Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 08/10/2026Still not sure what my “goal” is with sdvx. Maybe I’d be happy with 10 dan. For the most part I’m just hitting the note that comes next, though. 000
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 07/10/2026In hindsight funny that this aged really well immediately after I posted it 010
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 07/10/2026Kind of interesting that most of the responses to this can be separated into “wow” or “eww” 030
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 06/10/2026I gotta say this repo of hundreds of math preprints might be the most eerie artifact I've seen produced so far in the LLM era, despite pretty intense competition. github.com/openai/mathgithub.comGitHub - openai/mathContribute to openai/math development by creating an account on GitHub. 020

Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 06/10/2026So much of my life makes sense in retrospect after I found out today that some people believe a fundamental part of "American Culture" is not trying at anything unless you feel you've been personally given God's Gift Of Talent. No wonder! 010
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 05/10/2026I guess it’s good incentive for me to shift my focus to writing more longform. But I do wish that posting on these platforms was less of a headache. I used to really like doing it. 020
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 05/10/2026Every time I venture back to Twitter it really amazes me just how nasty it is now. It doesn’t really matter what the topic is, pretty much every post is default hostile. Unsure if it’s recoverable. Mostly just left hoping it’s not a microcosm of the real world. 140

Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 25/09/2026I have been just playing a short premium time or two each day on the way home from work. For the authentic experience yknow. If I had the time to be grinding a game I’d still be playing melee probably. But the 20 minutes for this before I go home makes me feel like I’m reclaiming some agency. 000
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 25/09/2026The two big things playing this game coming from ITG are roughly the following 1. There’s so much shit on the screen 2. The lifebar is so so so generous 100
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 25/09/2026I actually might be able to hit cyan! VF 15.00 / passing 16s still feels insanely far away though. Hopefully I just continue improving so that the progression doesn’t feel so bad from there. 100
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 18/09/2026I remember back when LLMs were new it was really funny seeing people whose whole experience with ML was classifiers / obj det trying to make sense of this new thing. How can we trust it without uncertainty quantification!! Really funny to see the inverse now. 000
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 17/09/2026None of these are amazing scores by any stretch but I did get them!! I think I can probably manage 7 Dan without too much trouble if I play a little bit at a time 010

Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 11/09/2026I thought it was bad enough when I had to explain what Zizians were to my wife but I’m slowly realizing I’m eventually going to have to explain what p(doom) is to my mom. 010

Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 08/09/2026I am not really sure what to make of this Naiver-Stokes drama. Somebody definitely flew too close to the sun but it's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly who that is. 010
Eryk @ambisinister.planetbanatt.net · 08/09/2026I think I will never forgive Karpathy for coining "vibe coding". I don't think you should be able to use that term unless you can manually reverse a linked list. 010
