On primary night, Cornyn called […]

‘Geography Is Four-Dimensional’
Derek Sivers:
When someone speaks of a place, you have to ask, “When?” Geography is four-dimensional. You can’t know a place — only a place as it was at a time. Where is bound to when. Unless you are in a place right now, you can only speak of it in past-tense.
Last night’s game 2, quick thoughts. I could blame all the blatant fouling with the Thunder holding Wemby every possession, which also contributed to the Thunder getting offensive rebounds, but really it’s the turnovers. Gotta clean that up, hopefully with De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper back soon. 🏀

Just asked Claude to save this in memory. "in general i create local variables with partial results because 1. i can step through the calculations in the debugger. 2. the order guides my mind when im reading this code, 3. it lets me put a name on a partial value. this is helpful when i want to piece together wtf the code is supposed to be doing. and 4. it makes no difference in the efficiency of the code for a variety of reasons. please save that somewhere." i'm getting a lot of these rules down. i have them memorized but have never written them up because i didn't have a system for saving it somewhere relevant. i always thought ai would be good for going back and reading all my blog posts and creating somethjing readable, but as often is the case, the way it works turned out to be quite different, accomplishes the same thing.
