Jan Tschichold is one of the few designers to have radically changed his vision and practice in response to the reality of the war he was experiencing.
His personal questioning is quite exemplary and forces us to reflect on our practices.

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Just an FYI that if you directly own any Apple stock, there is a shareholder proposal up for vote titled "Request to Cease DEI Efforts." You have until February 24 at 8:59pm PT to vote.

Installed PyMC and Blackjax in a Modal container with uv. It worked on the first try.

A neat example of why Marr’s levels are useful.
Neural networks aren’t blackboxes implementationally (we can see the weights and connections), but they sure are algorithmically (we have a limited understanding of why they yield the behavior they do).
People are probably referring to the latter.

Neural networks are not black boxes. They're the opposite of black boxes: we have extensive access to their internals.
I think people have accepted this framing so innately that they've forgotten it's not true and it even warps how they do experiments.

I was literally on Kangaroo Island, one of the subjects of this article, today! It’s incredible how much the island has recovered, but I wish I could have seen it before the fire.

1. I have event logs that are being written to a bucket as ndjson.
2. I wrote a thing that gloms those together into larger parquet files.
3. DuckDB reads the parquet and creates some on-disk tables.
4. The tables feed a pipeline that processes them into something useful.
