Aggressively applying my intellect to being a moron.
Joined December 2008
I've probably "launched" on the @EvenRealities and @brilliantlabsAR frames about 80 times on people's faces here in NYC. I've recorded about 4 of those moments out of my own personal shyness. Every smile feels amazing. People are wowed. People are delighted, and the mind races.

I have first hand experience working with remote devs in different countries. AI enabled remote devs are just not that good. Why? Even with AI knowledge still disseminates at the speed of human conversation. This, incidentally, is why SF vibes are unmatched.

Which X accounts do I follow who will educate me about how we got to so many regulations in the first place?
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

Important people with money do not have time to maintain vibe coded slop. They also don’t have the energy to deal with internal engineers.
Vibe Coding Will Kill SaaS: " In a year or two; you'll get to a place where a lot of the current organizational tools that companies are using, you could build your own version. It would make so much more sense to you as a buyer. The code will be yours, the data will be us.

It’s a symptom of a deeper problem. That problem is the inability to tie what is effectively a “meta-metric” to something truly real. Real is: Age Length Weight Time Scientists feel they can celebrate passenger parameters instead of order parameters.
Explaining clearly what you are doing and why is a narrative It's sad that so many scientists have an irrational aversion to clear communication, a bizarre fantasy that raw data can somehow speak for itself But the flip side is people with basic storytelling skills can go far

I wonder when we’ll be able to filter posts by where the account is based in.

I see three industries: Pharma, agriculture, and construction that peddle the same: 1. Consolidation is hurting individual businesses and big-X is price fixing 2. Tarriffs 3. Lack of competition Well you know what I also realize: Nobody wants to do these jobs. Nobody

Something far more insidious I have noticed is just the decline of “criticism” in lab meetings. I have had the pleasure of being in academic science in 2009-12 and 16-21 The stark difference I noticed was how culturally morass lab meetings became. This might’ve coincided with
By the way there are many more scam companies in biology right now. We are just too uncertain of the science to fully call them out. I call bullshit on any company building maps for biology. Maps mean nothing. Maps without the time axis are wasteful. The way people collate

Yes. Nucleus is science bullshit. Yes. They are also marketing geniuses. Both statements are true. Why can’t we just let the market figure this out for themselves? Free agency for the people. For better or worse.
I've just written a new post raising a series of concerns about Nucleus Genomics, a company that offers embryo selection services based on polygenic scores for couples undergoing IVF. I was shocked by the degree to which Nucleus's work is obviously plagiarized or simply wrong.

I really want them to succeed. I really truly do. Brand loyalty in science is the WORST. Something has to be done to break it.
One of the first Forage Fast boxes. I can't figure out a way to say just how proud I am of the Forage Evolution team for shipping these first products this week. Helped along the way by @AtkinsonCenter, @Cornell, @CornellCALS, @CornellEng.

NYC was not designed to be an affordable city for millennial yuppie middle income families. This city has a TON of elevator know how and yet none of it exists in the subways. It isn’t policy. It’s culture. Thankfully that cohort never made it into the city. It’s for the Gen

Even sadder the thrust is to make clinical trials easier and regulations less restrictive. The field has given up because the brightest haven’t produced good ideas and need a trophy prize.
One of the saddest realizations being in tech is that a lot of capital allocation happens on vibes, networks, fomo, and marketing. I have said this to a lot of our researchers; the best and most rigorous science does not necessarily win. The downstream effects of that is that

The fact that there are a non-zero amount of people who don’t know the difference between the two feels like a form of internet literacy that just has to be taught now.
I've been trying to find a way to describe the vibe difference between gpt-5.1-codex and Gemini 3 Pro. I think these code snippets highlight it pretty well

I can’t tell who is the real beneficiary of the AI boom. People who make apps or people who market them?
I've spent my whole life trying to make absence mean something. When I was five, the piano bench became my world. Practicing eight, ten hours a day wasn't punishment; I learned early to speak love through sacrifice. Every practice session was also a choice to say no. No to
