I applied to 98 jobs last week. Zero replies. I think I am going to have to either start something myself, open a restaurant or live under a bridge.

Hi! In case it was not obvious, the restaurant bit was half sarcasm. My whole family in my mother's side owns restaurants in my hometown. And while it has rewarding aspects, it's a very, very challenging experience.

My most appreciated side project ever, Authentic Timer, has had a glow up this weekend. I did it as an experiment on how far I could get Claude Opus 5.5 to understand my mindset and motivation, now that I can prompt properly and the Anthropic models have got significantly better. And I am happy with the results. Around 150 people still use it every month. It's free, forever, and it will continue to be that way. You can use it and tell me what you think. authentictimer.com

I wanted to keep learning Thai 🇹🇭 Duolingo and Memrise didn’t work for how I learn, so I built my own app. Join the waitlist: riangeng.com

Completely flooded main street in Salaya, Nakhon Pathom (20 Kms west of Bangkok) 🇹🇭 Video taken by my usual hairdresser, Khun M, to explain to me why I can't get a haircut today.

If any tourist / expat in Bangkok 🇹🇭 gets to this tweet by pure luck and algorithm entropy, I just want to say: stay safe. Floods here are no joke, and everything gets to 0 to 100 in a matter of minutes.

Back in 2003, a German film crew filming in the Gobi Desert captured an incredibly moving moment: after a tough two-day birth, a mother camel rejected her newborn. A nomadic family then performed the ancient Hoos singing ritual passed down for generations. Once the song ended, the camel shed tears and finally accepted her baby. This powerful scene became one of the most memorable parts of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel.

Funny how is always the candidate who has to over explain the setbacks in life, but not the company having a 3.2 in Glassdoor, laying off 20% of their squad and then rehiring people, or everyone who is talented quitting.

I reviewed and improved my personal website. Feedback welcome.
A personal website should feel like you’ve briefly left the rest of the internet

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
