My favorite #ElixirConf talk was released publicly today. Kip did such a great job sharing his enthusiasm for time algebra, and has such a rich, but simple, API. youtube.com/watch?v=4VfPvC…

Excellent post about applying insights from ML (overfitting control) to a much broader class of systems that optimize against an objective: politics, science, orgs, daily life. Underfitting is underrated.

I am on the lookout for my next employer. I'm seeking a technical leadership role where I can apply my hard-won experience, but I want to take some time to find the best fit for both sides. Elixir is strongly preferred. DMs open.

I find myself pondering meta-emoji. Sometimes I want to recognize a particularly well chosen emoji reaction that is the perfect accent to the message. Other times I want to subtly encourage someone to never use that emoji again under any circumstances.

If somebody butt-dials you multiple times over several months, how much of that is you being prominent on their favorites list vs. they're bad a smartphoning?

"artificial intelligence" is like "air fryer". They're useful tools, but their names are counterfactual marketing hype. It bugs me to use either name. I like to think words mean things (I'm naive that way).
