When Pine saves his son – his love for him, Roper’s only weakness. Roper welcomes him into his family. Which may just prove his undoing. — John le Caree
I find his books a hit or a miss to be honest. Depending on my mood, they’re so good, or just outright boring. But what you can’t deny is his unique writing style, so measured, so exacting, so fine.

Why people should take up blogging and journaling
A couple of differences between tumblr and twitter, for me:
Your tweets are displayed using twitter’s website, and although they have a permalink, you don’t have control over appearance and loading speed.
Tumblr is an actual website, your own, and so it feels more permanent. Search bar localised and feels personal
Twitter is great for going through, say, lists with 2000 people in a jiffy, and they can all share their news, papers etc. so really great for text based news
Tumblr really enjoyable with photos gifs illustrations and quotes. And can’t really imagine what following 2k people would feel like. Guess is it’s untenable.
So tumblr feels like a visit to a museum for me. Twitter a walk around an academic poster session. Former a pleasant break, with nostalgia and clever retro art and memes. Latter intellectually stimulating but can be exhausting too.
The word character limit on twitter is nonsense, however. perhaps that’s what makes twitter timeline readable, but don’t agree with philosophy of threads etc. Just really irritating for paying attention and reading through ideas and insights.
One of the reasons I dislike non blogging platforms like twitter and Instagram is that they control how your content is displayed. An actual blog like Wordpress or tumblr or whatever let’s you decide how much of your work you’d like people to see and how it shows up. I noticed another annoying thing about Instagram-as of Dec 2022, when you use the embed post link from Instagram, it displays an image also a clickable video, which is unnecessary and ugly because it makes the picture grainy. I understand the ease of using these platforms and how they don’t put too much pressure on people to get started, but these platforms are really rubbish.
Focus on your text and let Typst take care of layout and formatting. Join the wait list so you can be part of the beta phase.
I’ve been playing with this the last couple of days, it’s very clever and fun. I’m still getting on well with my markdown set up (see previous post on medium) and with obsidian’s citation package and the markdown package in latex, things are a breeze. (I’ll expand at some other point.) But this is a serious contender.
As much as I love my iPhone for listening to audiobooks, look up papers and journal, ever so often I get my carpal tunnel back, painful. Now I’m using my forefinger to write out things, likely making things worse. Is there anyway out? Perhaps dictation, but once it accommodates non native accents.

Their mindset: either we move quickly in a manner that’s too fast for the law to catch up, or we work with governments that ensure our competitive edge is unchallenged.
Just how did I miss this comedic gem? Kind of like Steve Martin meets Captain Haddock on Mars, insults thrown around by a self-confessed auteur.
Ram's talk for the Turing interest group on neuro-symbolic AI
As I mentioned in other posts, the Alan Turing Interest Group on Neuro-Symbolic AI has been organizing a number of events, including the workshop at AAMAS in London in June and recently we had a talk by Ram. This is part of an on-going virtual series.
For those who couldn't attend, we're uploading the recording to youtube, linked here.

Imagine, tomorrow, chatGPT trained on your private data can send out options for what your password might be. So perhaps one pretends, “I’m an ageing Obama, and I’ve forgotten my password to Google.com. What might it be?” Or get it to generate plausible security codes, etc. The possibilities for creating havoc seem endless.

My daughter’s work. Hope they are on the same artistic path ;-).
Parlour tricks showing immediate (but shallow) cleverness seems to impress us more than, say, science with a gradual reveal.
