Please be nice to me. I'm just doing my best

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

I'm considering polars as my next "special interest".

Step 1: use it daily; play

Step 2: pull the hood up and figure out the codebase

I've seen hints of cool DB and engineering concepts from reading the codebase, but i imagine there's a lot i can learn here if i STUDY

@GaelVaroquaux I had a very young and nervous econometrics teacher who struggled so much with “heteroskedasticity” and “multicollinearity”: the whole class was very quietly rooting for him each time

Had a very interesting bug where ghostty couldn't `ls ~/Downloads` but <other terminal> could

Reminder to self to dig into "what is happening? why?"

I feel like I'm getting a lot more rate limiting from Claude today...I think I'm going to start moving a lot more of my dev to open weight models and simple harnesses if I can

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

Love this

Particularly:

quarto render my_markdown_file —to html

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

I feel like not enough ppl know about @quarto_pub

Markdown vs HTML. Every time we go from a semantically dense to a semantically sparse format, we lose. Even more today where less tokens from the same content is way better. I can understand we need a better markdown. I can't understand we should replace it with HTML.

Imagine showing this to a data scientist in 2013

[Charles 🎉 Frye @charles_irl]

autoresearch and autoscaling: two great tastes that taste great together

@MelkeyDev I do my best to stay under 100k: limit context “manually”, start a forked session if I entertain multiple ideas, or frequently invoke subagents. It becomes easier to have tightly scoped sessions if I use something like https://t.co/R4yjfeHD8q for commiting frequently

Injured my wrist somehow so I’m using lots of voice-to-text and doing research on programmable keyboards.

I’ll take any advice on the latter!

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

@shadcn lol though that actually looks like i didn't understand it yet (and probably still don't)

(1) it should be `git worktree remove .worktree/hotfix`
(2) you can't check out multiple versions of `main`

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

@shadcn how i started using it circa 2023 when i worked on too many repos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

I wonder why I don’t see much about SSMs for CLV; a lot of the Bayesian marketing models have distribution assumptions that seem nice on paper but break really easily

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

And your new boss oversaw the creation of the previous two 🫠🙃

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

TFW when a model you made in a couple hours displaces two other models that have been developed and maintained for years

[Garrett Mooney @GarrettRMooney]

just got my first PR review by a human that was clearly all done by an agent ....very weird feeling

some comments are useful, most are crossing "T"s and dotting "I"s, but the biggest impact is eroded trust in the reviewers' judgement :/

my spanish tutor has agreed to map "ustedes" to "yinz" and it brings me great joy every time
