iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

How much of the US being incapable of building is just the legacy paradox where we're trapped by having been the earliest adopters of world-changing technology that has long since been superseded. Like Autozone still using a DOS based inventory system despite all their efforts.

I've been very busy the last few weeks, and as a consequence my health crashed for a few days. I'm recovering better than I used to, but I still have to be careful. ChatGPT helped me come up with a very plausible plan to manage my energy better.

Dutch GP was fun. My favorite racey bois came in first, second, and fourth.

ChatGPT, of all things, gradually winning me over to the value of Scheduled Task AI tools mostly for focused news (local model drops) and health minders ("evaluate the structured pacing plan with me on the first of every month to see if we should change the energy budgets")

trans women making fun of someone for being tall and bad at walking in heels is kind of insane! i do not know who she is or what evil she has done, because y’all are too into the bodyshaming. i assume if video of me in heels ever hits bluesky i will get promptly wrecked by my sisters in estradiol.

i love taking a big cloud of meaningless data & compressing it into something you can rotate in your mind palace & make better decisions about

i think if i’m going to have bluesky (or any twitterlike) as part of my life i’m going to have to build something that re-projects the entire experience into something that isn’t chopped up context thrashing hell. not just “feed as filtered by AI” and probably not just “MCP and Claude” either.

i’m at HOPE in Manhattan and I just sat through a presentation titled “Seeing Inside The Mind Of AI”, which sounded interesting but was actually more like “Seeing Inside The Toy Project Box Of A Software Engineer Experiencing Mild AI Psychosis” smh waste of an hour

You can actually make out some sunspots on it.

A partial solar eclipse, with the dark silhouette of the Moon covering a large bite out of the upper portion of the Sun. The bright, pale-gold solar disc glows against a nearly black sky, with several faint sunspots visible across its surface.

i know everyone's worried about AI degrading the long-term information environment, but goddamn if this isn't a massive improvement in information retrieval

OK who's making the vibe-coded SSD-streamed model-specific inference engine that only runs on M5 Max MacBookPros with 128GB of RAM and even then it's at like 1 token per minute for this one

went up on my ketamine dose recently. also making particular adjustments to how I use my phone and The Web and The Socials. so which one caused the breakthrough it feels like I'm experiencing? who knows. my strategy is just to try everything and keep doing whatever i was doing when things go well

if you're in the bay area, and are interested in things like weather, climate, weather prediction, or building a planetary nervous system, you should come to our public weather balloon launch at 5PM on wednesday, august 19 in redwood shores. dm me and I'll give you the invite link

saw someone recently (Dwarkesh i think?) say that the optimal inference batch size with current architectures is like, 2400. single batch operation, as local usually is, is *wildly* compute inefficient. it's not a big deal, because very few people do it, but yeah, it's not "environmentally friendly"

This is a good thread about Bluesky culture, which is pretty fucked at the moment

More and more I am learning that unconstrained, habitual access to things like social media, discord, email newsletters, etc makes it almost impossible to sustain my mental health improvements. There has to be a time and a place for that stuff, but it cannot be "whenever i feel like it".

DSA people who very clearly don't follow foreign affairs *at all* should just say they're focused on domestic issues, instead of embarrassing themselves like this. not everyone has to know everything! just admit you don't know everything!

oh wow the internet begposting people are mad that bluesky made it easier to not get spammed won't affect me any; i turned off reposts in my feed globally years ago. as a result i sometimes forget begposting exists

the thing I don't like about anti-AI, anti-data-center, anti-solar, etc, sentiment, and frankly a lot of the broader left these days, is the sense that a negotiated settlement is off the table before a word has been said. they demand total victory and will settle for nothing less. it's dysfunctional

ketamine therapy is weird because the experience itself, the "trip" so to speak, varies quite a bit for reasons i do not always understand, but then also the impact on my depression the following week varies without correlation to the trip experience. could be bad trip, good week, or vice versa!

spending time away from bluesky being kind of a normie and thinking a lot about AI and AI progress has convinced me that we're somewhere near the upper roundout of the logistic curve of capabilities growth and most people are unrealistically excited about both putative upsides and downsides of AI.

Just read this, liked it a lot, and I think it's pretty correct, as someone who has turned ideologically crazy once or twice in my life and recovered. If you want to have accurate ideas and good articulations of them, you have to challenge yourself with good counter arguments, simple as.

It's unfortunately pretty useful in a lot of political conversations with both the right and left to, every time they use the word "power," replace it with "status"

i have now attended one of those community data center meetings where the entire audience is so hostile their glares could peel paint none of them could explain how a cooling system works or the difference between "edge" and "hyperscaler" or "100MW" and "1GW", but they knew they hated Data Centers

Thinking about this more, I wonder if folks realize how mean they are being to EEs who work in electronics. They *make electronics* but a ton of the field is fully automated. Most of the practical training is in using the modeling tools and feeding the robots. But there is a TON of theory.

A lot of shit people think is driven by an evil conspiracy of elites is actually mostly driven by large numbers of consumers and/or voters finding a (potentially quite shitty) equilibrium of desires, at least in places with relatively high political and economic freedom, which the US is.
