But the thing he said about LaTeX is pure heresy. We need atproto-native LaTeX publishing! With atproto-native Zotero builtin!

TIL Yann and I have similar ideas about how to change publishing.

The additions I'd make are
- Make conferences smaller w/ presentations by invite (similar to @togelius.bsky.social suggestion)
- Build social media tooling for sharing/discussion and paper meta data to support it.

Slide: We ended up in casinos

Not by choice, but by design platforms built to extract attention, maximise engagement, and serve private profit above all else.

It's not just that we live under private government of the monopolies, but it's private government by casinos. #Rebuild

Most common flow so far appears to be to use a "generic" model (ChatGPT 5.3 gets a lot of praise) for generating informal proofs, with specialized models doing autoformalization and feedback.

Aristotle API

Oh, you should try Aristotle from Harmonic, which does Lean autoformalization. It's downright impressive.

Alive and moving -> huge heaps of money that would bring me close to or at my retirement goal.

Cooked within cultural context -> yeah, definitely free

Weird.

What is so maddening about Europe these days is that even in Europe this is not the Big Story. We are so captured by American drama, and the easy content its news providers overwhelm us with.

DENMARK SAYS ITS WILLING TO FUND FRENCH EU+ DETERRENT POLICY

After Macrons speech yesterday Denmark is willing to assist in funding an EU+ nuclear deterrence policy. Others are expected to follow. It’s quite extraordinary how quickly the realities of the situation are dawning on EU+ nations.

It isn't personal, it's a mere acknowledgement of the behavior of your country mates.

The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic.

France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to ”advance” that deterrent to other European countries.

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

Most programmers are taught that L1 is the β€œtop level” cache on x86.


It’s not quite true anymore!


Intel calls it the Decoded Stream Buffer (DSB), AMD the OpCache.

Only enough room for ~4,000 micro-ops, but there are interesting ways to take advantage of it.

You’re correct in pointing to this, but the blame doesn’t necessarily lie with the career logisticians, but rather in the acquisition community that focused on lowering life cycle costs and the mass implementation of performance based logistics contracts.
