Once, I told a librarian that she'd be out of a job because all books would soon be on the internet. I was 8. San Francisco via Chicago via Costa Rica.

    Books are tools. I read because I want to understand why things are the way they are. Last year I read about complexity, morality, the past, and possible futures.

    One comparison that could help them understand: you know the kind of experience you get at the DMV? Getting a visa is 10x more kafkaesque and frustrating, and takes several months (to be repeated every few years, for 5-15 years until you get a green card)

    I can’t get over the halftime show. Found it beyond interesting as a cultural moment, and as a symbol of integration of Latinos in the US.

    I feel like a lot of US citizens don’t quite get how hard it is to get an immigrant visa even if you are super qualified—many friends/family have struggled w the H1-B lottery or spent months applying for an O1 or got denied entry even though they have MIT degrees/great jobs/etc

    Excited for Night Of Ideas at ! Started out with a talk on the blurry line between real conspiracies and conspiracy theories, and now on a panel on Chaos that’s being broadcast live on the radio w/Rover Sapolsky, , and John Powell.

    This episode of ⁦⁩’s podcast was awesome. A lot of it resonated with me, and how I choose what to read or listen to. I’m excited about the viability of ideas that play with the “negative interest rates of the attention economy.”

    I often want to do simple NLP things on the books I read, but DRM/copyright means that even if I own a digital copy I can't really access the text for personal use. Something as simple as getting frequencies of proper nouns throughout the book could be super informative!

    How big can a spreadsheet get before google sheets starts barfing? I think I might have gotten there.

    Math is awesome. I first learned of bifurcation diagrams in 2012, but even when you understand a concept well a simple visualization can be mind-bending.

    Here’s again, this time channeling Russell. I first heard this metaphor from DFW, though!

    I really hate the matplotlib API, but it's so damn powerful.

    All good things must come to an end. We headed to Zürich to finish things off, and only had a night there. Walking around Altstadt made for good street photo. Somehow, in a single day I ended up taking ~20% of the photos I took during the whole trip!
