Reposted by danJaz @jaz.sh · 27/09/2026Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.devatlas.jazco.devAtlasA living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours. 1141386404

dan @danabra.mov · 23/09/2026ok i take it back Astra is good how to work with it: 1. get it to deeply understand what needs to be built. not “plan“ but like get it to be a domain nerd 2. only THEN, give it a usable past sloppy attempt and ask for excellence 3. ask it to use Sols for coding so it stays on strategy and taste 7850

dan @danabra.mov · 19/09/2026my uninformed mental model of AI proofs in mathematics is that they’re like lighthouses in the fog. the fog is still there, and clearing the fog is the primary value of the discipline. the lighthouses give a bit of an orientation but don’t clear the fog on their own. 6414

dan @danabra.mov · 12/09/2026proving a relatively nontrivial thing: consistently bad output, going offtrack, faking progress. i had to intervene and think with it through every step very closely for entire day finally, proof compiles.

dan @danabra.mov · 11/09/2026understated but both of these are kinda huge. ViewTransition is the first ever (!) first-class animation API in React. (it's powered by the browser API but is composable in a very Reacty way.) and Fragment refs solve "merge refs" soup. you can now have natural apis like <IntersectionObserver> etc 2835
dan @danabra.mov · 10/09/2026using Astra reminds me of playing with Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version in Gran Turismo 2. it was the most powerful car in the game so i would immediately run into the wall at every turn. but even with all the time i was losing this way, it was enough to be attentive to win every race 3240

![Four phases
edit
Pólya begins with a two-page checklist that identifies four phases to solving a mathematical problem:[4]
Understand the problem.
Make a plan.
Carry out the plan.
Look back.[5]
He emphasizes that the divisions between phases are not rigid, and it is important to be flexible in one's approach:
Trying to find the solution, we may repeatedly change our point of view, our way of looking at the problem. We have to shift our position again and again. Our conception of the problem is likely to be rather incomplete when we start the work; our outlook is different when we have made some progress; it is again different when we have almost obtained the solution.[6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fpruhuo22xkm5o7ttr2ktxdo/bafkreieqmhpf45k5cz7s2wyjmt2s2jdlgsp7itwcmnodz52s53zwhzx4vu)
