I'm building LemmaCraft, a math proof game in which you solve engaging math puzzles as you rebuild mathematics from the Peano axioms.

"top three founders of all time" proceeds to list four founders
- jobs - elon - larry & sergey top three founders of all time. you can likely change the order but i think this list is probably the best cultural / societial change makers humanity has ever produced & they were all within the last ~30 years. how can you not be grateful to

I just wrote my first diffusion model! Diffuses into a swiss roll distribution following the paper "Deep Unsupervised Learning using Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics" Next I gotta figure out actual image generation 💀

I say "really easy" in the most sarcastic way possible btw
Nevermind, diffusion models are actually really easy. Here's my first "swiss roll" generations. Not perfect, but it felt amazing to see this graph:

Holy cow, Image generation is more complicated than I thought. Guess this is what happens when u jump in the deep end and don't know how to swim

If google slides would add a morph transition, I would never use powerpoint again.

Unstoppable ambition is all you need to succeed in narrow domains like business. But to succeed more broadly in life requires the opposite: self-restraint.

Ever wondered why Vite uses port 5173? It’s actually VITE written strategically: V → 5 (Roman numeral) I → 1 (Roman numeral) T → 7 E → 3 Put it together and you get 5173.

Emailing admissions offices is scary. Like what if you don't use proper grammar? Do they insta-reject your future application?

The biggest problem with the education system is not efficiency, difficulty, or curriculum. It's a lack of motivation in students. In the age of the internet, motivation to learn is the only thing holding students back.

Make classes hard again
Hard classes are not torture for the strongest students. They are thrilling. “Torture” for you is essential training for tomorrow’s top scientists. Completely insane to dumb things down so that average students can pretend they are as good as the best.

If I want to be exceptional: Should I seek out a mentor? Right now I'm just grinding to try and get in a good college, I'm a junior in high school making programming projects. If so, how should I proceed? Don't really know anyone.
Being exceptional is rare. For example, to get into MIT (my dream college), who accepts one person per 27 public high schools, you have to be first—not second—of everybody in your high school and 26 others. That's 22,000 competitors, and you have to outwork them all.
