  • Materialists Disliked

    I assumed Celine Song's Materialists would be as inoffensively cute as Past Lives, but it was even emptier than I expected.

  • When Harry Met Sally Loved

    On the other hand, seeing When Harry Met Sally at the Roxie was a total delight. I was grinning for probably 80% of it.

  • Mochi Uses

    I initially started making Anki (well, Mochi) cards to keep track of Google DeepMind's LLM lineage—Gopher, Chinchilla, Gato, PaLM, Sparrow, Meena, LaMDA, Bard, Gemini, etc.

  • Opal Uses

    I'm getting into screen-time blocking. I use the app Opal on a recommendation from Lucas Gelfond. It won't let me scroll Twitter, Substack, or Instagram for 80% of the day. Gmail is also blocked from 11pm to 8am.

  • Close to the Machine Recommends

    Ellen Ullman's Close to the Machine is a memoir I couldn't believe I hadn't read earlier. Many of her observations about engineering culture feel as relevant today as when she was a programmer in the 1980s

  • Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future Recommends

    Breakneck is also worth reading because it's fun: it's a political economy book with chutzpah, as China letter aficionados will expect.

  • Readwise Chat Uses

    More recently, I started using Readwise Chat. Sometimes I don't remember what books I've read, especially now that I've been reading and using Readwise for a long time.

  • Readwise Loved

    All my friends know that I'm obsessed with Readwise, which combines a web highlighter, a powerful read-it-later app, and every feature under the sun to organize and remember everything that I read.
