Broken Social Scene on stage

At The Anthem in DC, at intermission between Stars and Broken Social Scene

Based on this, a diode (that’s there to presumably protect the rest of the circuit) short circuited. I did what others did, took a soldering iron to the board, and removed the faulty diode (pics with and without diode D4)

True to my word (sorry for sideways text):

Hey, I’ve been on this train! We stayed in Poschiavo for a couple days. I noticed that Tirano was in Italy so we also went there for an afternoon. I don’t remember any more which stop it was, but we got down for a hike in the mountains. Here are some crappy pictures.

This is a likely a (clever) Google recruitment ad spotted in Denver. attention.how www.whois.com/whois/attent... Alt text has answer.

Had to try this out for myself:

I did the 5 boro bike tour today through NYC! 40 miles through all 5 boroughs.

This finally arrived in the mail!

Ride down the B&A bike path this morning with a few friends. Pretty day out today but it’s also only April for it to be this hot 🥵

Apparently each of my wife’s and her siblings’ partners (ie me + my siblings in law) like Legos and each got this set for Easter: www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

This mug is still in my possession 🙂

Meme from a friend:

This app was a lot more simple for Claude Code to write up. I asked it to plot the number of listens among top k artists given my last.fm listening history. also something I've wanted to do. not fleshed out, I want a better visualization, but it is impressive that I can build this with one prompt.

Posting without comment:

I was looking at the math books on my bookshelf and I totally forgot I still have this one on my possession. This book is probably the most monstrously difficult one I’ve studied from. Iirc we got through only 60 pages of it in the grad course I took as an undergrad at Notre Dame.

Got this today as a belated birthday gift from my in laws. Apparently I wouldn’t stop talking about wanting to buy legos last year 😂

These appear somewhere in the tunnels under MIT campus (held back posting these because you never know what’s a puzzle)

Plaque on the 4th floor of building 34 at MIT. Outside the elevators. Information theory.

Here's a 2-dimensional one. Fewer simplexes, slower, easier to see what's going on.

This took more effort but it was still all prompting with ChatGPT 5.2. Completely vibe coded, though I did have to point it to the relevant papers for it to understand what to do. I couldn't have imagined doing this before. Makes me want to try out Claude Code.

Does art that's generated by code that's generated by AI count as AI art? anyways, this is evidence enough to me that AI has significantly improved over the last year. I was able to one-shot-prompt a Python script to make this visualization...

There are once again predictions on manifold.markets about the upcoming MIT Mystery Hunt (full disclosure: I don't actually know much about how manifold.markets works)

Glassblowing is super fun! I glassblew(?) this lil bird on vacation in Santa Fe.

Today was the last day of JMM and I’m glad I had the chance to go as well as present. I spent most of the day at the applied category theory session.
