Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 10/08/2026Multi-class classification was at the frontier and mostly unsolved. I think Google had a research team that had gotten pretty far by 2010. Boltzmann machines were the hot thing. I tried building a news service this way in fall of 2010 and quickly gave up. Way beyond my knowledge! 020

Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 19/07/2026Yes! I mean “intuitively” to me, what makes them emoji rather than just symbols/icons is that they convey something that’s complicated to express in words 140
Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 19/07/2026[As a bystander in this interesting conversation you’re having] IMHO to be “emoji” they need to convert emotion. Ie a star or pointing hand does not, but a smiling face or a confetti puff does 130

Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 02/07/2026Thanks for sharing! We did the exact same thing ha ha. But we’re debating changing from P3 extended to BT.2020 (I’ve noticed that photos taken with my iPhone are now encoded in that color space) 010
Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 02/07/2026Neat to see you also added HDR support! We started working on that for Playbit and the impact is deep, specifically in regards to color space and os-window-transparency that requires premultiplied alpha from the shader. How did you go about color space for this? Just sticking to sRGB or bt2020? 120

Rasmus Andersson @rsms.me · 30/04/2026Great read. Thank you! I’m curious: Does Alice need a calculator or even a computer to do her work? Does she solve differential equations with paper and pen? What I’m thinking about is what constitutes a helpful tool. Is a LLM like a calculator or like a tutor that does your homework for you? 010
