    After years of mystery, I've finally written an article on the origin story and rationale of my Lucidity project: (And there's a new video illustrating more realistic usecases than I've shown previously)

    I wonder if societies can be affected by “centipede’s dilemma” too: debilitating interference with emergent functions induced by self-awareness + desire for manual control.

    Processes underlying good vs adequate "increments" to designs: Adequate: the search space for your increment is constrained by your design-so-far. Compatibility is paramount Good: search space structured purely by the increment itself. Prior decisions may become incompatible

    Symmetries behave a lot like numbers – you can even add or subtract them. What other relationships can you find, using our Symmetry Calculator?

    It's not intrinsically more powerful, all those parens are just kinky.

    The essence of being an adult is knowing the word "guaranteed" is always paired with an asterisk.

    More controversially, programmers who work by continually refining architectures rather than fixing bugs directly are almost certainly developing latent chops as would-be theoreticians.

    Listening to Robert Sapolsky describe a clever experimental setup to test theory of mind in chimps and thinking about much more practice some programmers have with this kind of thinking. I wonder if there are any stories of programmers becoming excellent designers of experiments

    The un-frustrated programmer learns to expect and view with equanimity that a series of unexpected, progress-halting events always awaits them. Maybe there's a better solution though?

    Errors are a necessary aspect of any exploratory approach to problem solving: the process of finding a good path IS making a series of wrong turns. But while as a class we know to expect them, almost definitionally, particular errors are unexpected, often jolting and frustrating

    The way we frame errors in our tools tends only to reflect the state of a software system, rather than the state of the full human-computer programming process. In that latter context errors are not *problems* like in the first—but we present them like they are, creating bad ux.

    I'd forgotten how I came to be there, reading about the renormalization group and the hollywood foreign press Text flashed on screen signifying nothing: "ruby 2.3.0 installed" Then slowly I remembered: my name was weston, and once long ago I'd sat here to do something

    Dreams can be considered as alternate natures produced by gods with limited memories, relying primarily on feedback methods over global models.

    If we can establish that human thought deals only with the relational / structural (or not), then some progress can be made on certain claims on the nature of immediate experience, the meaning of ‘being’, and the aptitude of mathematical Platonism.
