You know you've been coding too long when you get up and, as you walk to the kitchen, start thinking about what should be included in the the prompt you're about to write to prepare dinner

Does anyone have any opinions on these paperless drywall products? Please share. I doubt I will get much traction here, but it never hurts to check.

Let's bring back Weizenbaum's excellent phrase and accusation "the artificial intelligentsia"

This is a fantastic essay from @jessica.bsky.social about what it means to do real work/research open.substack.com/pub/letterst...

on doing Real work

a working theory

Does anyone know of an intro to CS that includes Weizenbaum's _Computer Power and Human Reason_? What with this AI business, it seems more essential than ever to get this in front of computer people as early as possible

Coding workflow: 1. Have Anthropic's Opus family design a feature or fix as a set of beads issues: github.com/Dicklesworth... 2. Using either Anthropic's Sonnet family or GLM 4.7 (an open weights model), turn on caveman mode: github.com/juliusbrusse... 3. "br/jj pair": github.com/breezykermo/...

Finally beginning to feel that I'm hitting a happy medium between 1) letting Claude Code run away with arbitrary design decisions in favor of functionality and 2) writing code through sharply scoped directives (or by hand) and thus developing real awareness of the codebase as I build it out

Inspired by some folks at @eeg.cl.cam.ac.uk, I've started keeping research weeknotes. Rationale for the undertaking and link to the weeknotes are below

This advent of agentic humps by @anil.recoil.org is incredible: anil.recoil.org/notes/aoah-2.... Please academics and otherwise 'free' agents; do more of this kind of thing!

2025 Advent of Agentic Humps: Building a useful O(x)Caml library every day

An exploration of agentic programming through building useful OCaml libraries daily using Claude Code while establishing groundrules for responsible development.

a summer reading list for you sickos that still want to think together with the machine

Drop in to hear about mathematical materialism id you're in Basel, Monday the week after next! contralab.online/lachlan-kerm...

Forget LLMs: PowerPoint had already ruined our ability to think straight and seriously

Looking forward to this! www.kcl.ac.uk/events/on-th... with @jeddobson.bsky.social, Leo Impett and Tobias Blanke and @dchavezheras.bsky.social

On the Semiotics of AI representations | King's College London

This workshop is a deep dive into contemporary model architectures and pipelines following the semiotic question of meaning making linked to text, images as well as the multimodality between them.

For the subword fiends in your life: here’s a tool that helps to find token variants in HF tokenizers. We’ve been using it in Digital Theory Lab for experiments involving LLM vocab control (ablations, etc) More on the pipeline and model here: github.com/digitaltheor...

To make it easier esp. for junior folks (students, postdocs, jr faculty) to talk to me, I'm trying a new thing: open office hours at conferences! Come find me at PLDI 2026, using the public calendar linked to the page below. Please feel free to reshare! cs.brown.edu/people/sk/Co...

Some of the most lucid writing available on what the existence of LLMs does and doesn't change about being a speaking being

This is NOT a formal job posting, just testing waters. I have a year of post-doc money. Esp. int'd in formal methods + applied cogsci + diagramming. If you do work tied to my research, reach out (see my page). Must have US work auth, sorry. Please feel free to share/boost!

"appealing to perverse vanity metrics, perhaps, but at the cost of everything that matters" - Marx's critique of capitalism in a nutshell, brilliantly brought to bear on the agential problematic ushered in by LLMs in this stellar piece of writing.

The translators' footnotes to the new translation of Capital vol I are an absolute contextual gold mine. Paul North and Paul Reitter did a stunning job. I'm sure they're great in context-- but they also work just one after the other, like a postscript or introduction

Our first session with reading coming up this Sunday! "The Working Day", a must-read for everyone who has ever been subject to a wage

If you're a tech worker who's interested in reading Marx's Capital with other tech workers, there's a free online course that's starting later this month cftw.ohrg.org
