If you have an obsessive streak, this is the greatest time to be working on frontier technology. The problems are genuinely monumentally difficult, which makes progress feel amazing. Besides, it's quiet on the frontier. None of the circus of mainstream AI.
Analog is about the nature of the interpretation function, not about continuity versus discreteness.
This may have been the best reading experience of my life other than like the bible. I disagreed continually but also admired the depth and quality problem framing. Sweet.
In reading about the history of science I’ve been struck by how often scientific questions suddenly transmute into theological questions when you’re at the bare bottom ground. Strange ineffable mystery.
There’s a point in any creative work where the work catches fire and comes alive. I think I’m there. I’ve been looking forward to this for a very long time.
Secret no go results maybe the most valuable thing. Everyone else iterates breathlessly on a terrain you know is a dead end while you venture out elsewhere.

Lendo um ensaio de David Bentley Hart sobre o “Heidegger tardio”. A primeira parte é um (bom) resumo de manual. No finalzinho, porém, DBH se permite um certo lirismo, sem forçar a mão no registro barroco de algum de seus texto. Achei bonita a imagem neste trechinho:
What’s missing can be described as a theory of theories of theory building systems. It’s a higher level of abstraction than anything in pure math or theoretical computer science today.
This is nice but don’t bet against AI. What you’re imagining as the real thing ( LLMs ) is a prototype technology that will get wiped away. Don’t over index on the prototype. The archetype will kill you.
