tfae @tfae.bsky.social · 20/09/2025the last axiom of a closure operator can be weakened to cl(cl(x)) ≤ cl(x) , and i think that is more elegant, as it generalizes directly to the definition of a monad 020
tfae @tfae.bsky.social · 26/08/2025mononoke is funny for many reasons, but in particular the entire “nue” arc consists of a guy burning incense in an empty room before he splits a piece of wood in half 120

tfae @tfae.bsky.social · 12/05/2025the linked emails have an exec saying they’re “deeply uncomfortable” with making search worse, and they doubt that even the ads team wants to do that 110

![We could increase queries quite easily in the short term in user negative ways (turn off spell correction, turn off ranking improvements, place refinements all over the page). [...] But I will say that I am deeply deeply uncomfortable with this, and I'd be surprised if the ads team wants this. The nature of how you would easily increase queries is a key reason I don't like queries as
an end metric. The easy ways are almost all bad. Having queries as a metric will, in my opinion, have a subtly bad effect as a launch metric even if we 'decide not to do the bad things'.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cucbj722gp3p6kjekktrjzur/bafkreihf3lwr2quhib46ab36zmdlz7ejp5v2k2hldtu74kk2abbegb535u)
