About

Things I believe:

my theory is that if I get better at reflecting on my implementation of advice, and figuring out what I am bad at, I will recursively improve
most people do much more performative stuff than they think. Humanity's bar for what is performative is surprisingly high
Cool people make life feel exciting
Amor fati
bci/acc

I spend a lot of time messing around with mech interp. I am a bit bearish that it is feasible, and alignment seems more probable

I like getting good at things until I can do them intuitively (that's why physics is so satisfying).

I keep a small booklet of ideas and usually rotate through a few of them every month.

I use Ghostty and VS Code completely blacked out

I like elegantly designed card tricks and board games

I subscribe to Crocker's Rules.
