Bangalore peeps, I've been invited by Abheek Learning Center to speak to parents and educators about the Future of Learning in the age of AI, especially how to manage children's exposure on our computing devices. This Saturday, 9:30AM. Limited capacity. luma.com/mxnsai48 #parenting #learning

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

Oh wow.. #bluesky just started demanding birthdate! Why is it not asking for just the age-band? Is it for personalization or a legal mandate? Is it okay for me to lie about my birthdate? Are they enforcing AUS/UK/EU law on worldwide users? Why are there no docs about this? @jay.bsky.team

Welcome back! - Custom feeds now get access to "see less/see more" metrics. - Bluesky hit 40m mark recently - Lots of activity on Tangled and Graze social - More people means more activity, harder to filter

How come client-side calls to LLMs not more popular? OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini all support it. But no client-side library has taken a foothold for this pattern. @simonwillison.net had written about this a year ago.

FRP which spans network zones like client and server. I want to embrace servers, not avoid them. So for example, a client value like a DOM node could depend (and reactively updated) on a server state. Sth like: What if the entire app (client state + server state) was an Automerge doc?

I was excited when I discovered the Lambda Cube and Dependent Types. But then it turns out, the rabbit hole just keeps going deeper and deeper. - Affine/Linear/Quantitative/Graded Types as in Rust and Idris 2 - Refinement Types - Cubical Type Theory (eg: Agda)

@martin.kleppmann.com I have been exploring CRDTs to model entire apps, but not in the local-first sense. I am interested in Distributed Reactivity. What should I be reading? There's this vision paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... but I do not think a whole new programming language is required here.

Reading survey papers across disciplines is insanely effective. Not only do you learn almost state-of-the-art knowledge that has not yet made to textbooks, but you also build a mental map of the field and how different ideas relate to each other. I find this scaffolding very useful for retention.

Topology is so underrated. I used to think it's just a corner of abstract mathematics, but now I see EVERY question in terms of what the space of possible answers is and what the properties of its shape are because they inform approaches for design, search & optimization. #mathematics

Nilesh Trivedi @nilesh.trivedi.link · 12/08/2025

I have been thinking about distributed reactive computation. There is way too much plumbing involved in building apps. Have landed on an elegant model, with which, expressing a multi-user, secure, high-performance todo app takes 20 lines of code (including a basic reactive UI). #computing

Nilesh Trivedi @nilesh.trivedi.link · 14/07/2025

Thanks for making it available. I read through the chapter on Reactivity. 👍 It seems a lot of work remains to be done in the PL field. A distributed, reactive and modular language is on my current wishlist. :)

To be clear, I do think FOSS licenses are naive and have suffocated the space for better alternatives, even if they have been a net positive.

All these categories seem fuzzy to me. I recommend modeling everything as agents with declared attributes in case it happens to be non-intelligent and non-longrunning, i.e. tool-like.

This was a mind-bending read! Argues that intelligence might originate outside of physics and actually come from the platonic space of mathematical patterns. For eg: the familiar "bubble sort" algo shows cognitive skills like delayed gratification and clustering. osf.io/preprints/ps... #ai #cs

On landscape displays, horizontal scrolling seems best for reading ebooks (until we get a really tall/portrait display that can show 3 pages at once). They make it easiest when pages refer to previous or next page, especially with visuals. #design #ebook
