you carry magic in your hands, your soul and mind.
attention and time then,
is the most valuable thing you have.
avoid the mind-eater voids

I'm convinced that AI and crypto are perfect for each other in many ways
- verifiable compute
- verifiable training
- AI resistent sybil defence (proof of humanity etc)
- agent payments & micropayments
- decentralized training & GPU markets
So I went down the rabbit hole to see how I could
- train a model in a decentralized way
- while still keeping some weights private
- and zk proving that it was trained humanely/ethically
That last one ran into a whole lot of problems and led me down an even deeper rabbit hole until I arrived at mechanistic interpretability
From the outside, AI weights do not appear to correspond to how they act in any meaningful way
Mechanistic interpretability (mech interp) is about opening up neural networks and discovering why the weights do what they do
It basically says "don't just trust the black box of AI" which reminds me a lot of the philosophy of crypto
Anyway, Claude and I wrote a curriculum mainly for myself to help me understand mech interp. Thought I'd open it up for other software engineers
If you can't read AI papers or PyTorch but would like to, this is for you. It walks through 6 interpretability papers and replicates them in PyTorch. You can run them directly in the browser (using my huggingface space)
Check it out yourself and let me know what you think!

Apple’s 2026 patch cadence looks unusual.
By May 21, Apple had already shipped 7 iOS/iPadOS 26 updates and 6 macOS 26/Tahoe updates, plus a new category: Background Security Improvements.
This isn’t just “bug fixes.” It may be a sign of a structural change in delivering updates.
America is legitimately a nightmare. Everything is constantly attacking you. I got a coffee once and it had so much sugar it gave me a throat ache. Every single sense you have is constantly under attack. Every last surface is exploited for an ad
