Former options market maker who writes Moontower, a newsletter on trading, volatility, decision-making and how to think about risk outside markets too.
Dude, I, I finally, I got the, uh, venue I wanted. Uh, I’m performing my dance quintet—you know, My Cycle—at Crane Jackson’s Fountain Street Theatre on Tuesday night, and, well, I’d love it if you came and gave me notes. Quoting @uncledoomer i went out to see my coworkers band once after being pestered for months and finally running out of excuses, and it was, no joke, this exactly. Related

Web standards author and speaker; wrote the CSS: The Definitive Guide series and co-founded the An Event Apart conference.
I made this floating-scrollbar #CSS demo as the result of a discussion we had in today’s Front-End Study Hall: https://codepen.io/editor/meyerweb/pen/01a0b0bd-0100-750d-8c24-745f6318896d I don’t know if it’s actually a good idea to do something like this (probably not), and it has a few styling limitations (no drop shadows or glows), but it was interesting to try to hit a design brief with clipping paths and the relatively new `shape()` value.

One of Michael Moritz's best stories on obsession is about the ride he got from Bill Gates when Microsoft was still private. "Bill Gates gave me a ride to the airport in his car. The radio was missing in the car, a big, gaping hole in the dashboard. I said, Bill, what happened to you, did you get ripped off? And he said no, I had it taken out. Why'd you have it taken out? Well, I drive from my home to the office, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, and then I'll drive from the office to the airport, which is however long. And he said if I've got the radio, I'm afraid that I'll switch it on and… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.

Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic.
Claude Code showed that AI could do real work, not just answer questions. Developers hand Claude a feature, come back to shipped code. That's where much of the industry's serious engineering runs now. Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same: hand Claude the brief, come back to finished files. Today, chat and Cowork start merging into one Claude. The direction: one Claude that carries context across everything you're working on, wherever you are. Simple enough for everyone to access Claude's full capabilities. I've been using this experience every day for the last few weeks, and it f… Quoting @claudeai Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say.

There is indeed a central bank balance sheet hole. But the budget deficit remains the same. So no cash flow improvement. Quoting @JohnHCochrane @ojblanchard1 Not quite.

5 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
I don’t think anyone really believes that at the event horizon you’ll find a firewall. But it did lead to things like the entangled wormholes embroidering a black hole, which was born out of an attempt to address the concerns that AMPS raised. So it did lead to progress.

Their words
But then I think that there’s a confusion that dead stars, these very, very massive stars that die, are synonymous with the phenomenon of black hole. And it’s really not the case. Black holes are more general and more fundamental than just the death state of a star.

Their words
So they’re flawless in the sense that you can completely understand a black hole by looking at just its electric charge, its mass and its spin. And every black hole with that charge mass and spin is identical to every other black hole.

If I tried to pack a lot of information into a volume, more information than I could pack, let’s say, on the surface of a black hole, I would simply make a black hole and I would find out, oh, I can’t have more information than I can fit on the surface.

Two positions I believe, both pretty strongly: 1. LLMs -- deep learning in general -- is novel and weird and powerful and important. The world is becoming *much weirder* as a result, and we do not yet know how deep the rabbit hole goes; and 2. LLMs, as of today, are still quite limited and fall short of "human intelligence" in many ways; they are also relatively much better at "appearing intelligent" than "being intelligent," which makes them easy to overestimate LLMs Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
