Wittgenstein casually presaging emojis in 1938
That emojis went on to become a flattened finite all too literal emotion map he was reaching past is another thing

On Claude Enterprise, if your org has a ZDR (Zero Data Retention) addendum to the contract, your Claude Code and API turns are not company accessible

And if you work in a sensitive data space you really should talk with Anthropic about adding ZDR

Sure, a single LLM pass can be monocellular — each sentence its own sealed conclave. But that’s one mode. Architect it differently and the monocellular property could break. Out on a limb vibes 🐒

When has proclaiming the death of anything actually killed it?

This also weirdly conflates the economics of publishing with the essence of literature, as if operating loss settles ontology.

The slide: Granta loses money-publishers act like logistics firms-one panel missed an LLM story- therefore literature is impossible and machines can’t have style. Each step is about money and institutions. The conclusion is about what literature is. Vibe jump.

The number of Christian holidays Germany has, had it been a polytheistic culture like India, there would have been hardly any working days

And given Brückentag culture- bridge day where in-between days are taken off, work would be the rare gap between observances

Why I still reach for Claude

The prompt: “Generate an image showing the stages of B-cell development from HSC to ABC”

(HSC = hematopoietic stem cell. ABC = an immunology acronym with a few possible referents)

I meant age-associated B cells - am looking at them in autoimmunity

For science and science adjacent work, there is a texture to the interactions with Claude that is closer to the Socratic tradition than to instant gratification.

Delightful essay on parallels between data viz and comics/cartoons from @skruglnska and @StatModeling - bringing in fritz kahn and the traditions of gakushū and jitsuyō manga could have taken the essay to omission as theory
