some thoughts on changing the public perception of mathematics i also share my story about how my relationship to it has changed
Public Perception of Mathematics
There is much more variety in mathematical understanding than I expected.

hot take: You will produce better math research if you are more empathetic
Mathematics as reinforcing practices of a verbal culture

I'm learning from tinygrad's and TileLang's design philosophy. Next step: pick one TileLang example kernel and catalog its primitives
Finding the Right Primitives
Is it common in the developer community to use the term "primitives" when designing languages or systems?

Your body has a vast amount of capacity to memorize things. When you can't feel your way around a system, you have to rely on your mental capacities. How do you redesign the representations so that you can make use of your body's intuitions? That frees up important working memory!
Honestly, I think the main problem we need to figure out in the next decades is how we shift from language and paper-based methods to computation and coordination languages to organize our democracies.
I don't understand why there is barely any funding for technologies like Dynamicland even though the technology is cheaper and superior to any AI I have used when it comes to advancing human understanding of complex systems which is the bottleneck of almost any project.
there is an interesting moment in 22x11 of #greysanatomy that caught my attention: how they tracked down a CSF leak

Pretty excited about trying move more of my info consumption through semble.so, margin.at, and www.graze.social Seems like there's some built in integration between @semble.so and margin -- very interested in figuring out a flow here (and further connect to local file workflows)

i miss deep communities of practice you don’t really find them any more. all the social media formats are against it
Erin Kissane@kissane.myatproto.social · 4mo agoWhat do you wish "social media"/the social parts of the internet could be, in your life? Like, what is the *good* thing you wish we had?
i was annoyed that this isn't explained how i want in the docs so i wrote my own mini-guide to publishing lexicons:

This is an article that I've wanted to write for over a year, and I finally got the chance to do it! Atproto Ethos is a deep dive into how we think about protocol design - its influences, the core innovations, and the opinionated takes that we've adopted
Atproto Ethos - AT Protocol
A deep dive into the philosophical and aesthetic principles underlying the design of AT Protocol.

I just spent last weekend at the ATProto conference and met a bunch of the Bluesky team and a bunch of ATproto developers: horrible as this historical moment is, they all seemed like nice, smart, thoughtful people, and I feel at least a bit better about the future of the Internet now
They neglected the importance of a social environment. Learning is inherently social bsky.app/profile/shri...
Shriram Krishnamurthi@shriram.bsky.social · last yr.They already tried, with MOOCs. We were told we'd need only like 5 universities to produce "the best" content, the rest could shut down and everyone could learn from MOOCs instead. Which showed exactly how much they understood about education, learning, humans, and other things not measured in bits.

The idea of “PhD level intelligence” is very funny to me, personally, because I have worked with scientists for 20 years. I know someone who has helped find treatments for diseases we didn’t even think were possible and also struggled to understand how the hot tap of a water cooler worked.
I know one of the guys who helped design probably the most cost efficient moon trip in the history of our species and his gf told me he used to eat cold food at night when he stayed up to work because figuring out how to use the microwave was "too complicated"
