This summer, we got to explore Hierarchical Navigable Small World, a foreign concept for us both - we’ll take you on the journey we went through.| Vespa Blog
I thought the latest sound clip from two merging black holes was nice but I’d heard this before and I wasn’t stunned. You can hear them spiraling in toward each other and merging — I can’t hear the ringdown which I assume is the merged entity shuddering. The first time I heard one of these […]| The Last Word On Nothing

This first ran on August 17, 2022. Three years later, August 20, 2025, same. Except this year we also have infrastructure, (it’s like measles: you get it, you suffer, it goes away) which we have often enough that I know code for the street markings: gas is yellow, electric is red, sewer is green, water is blue. This time it’s blue and we’re waiting for the city DPW to get its leisurely butt out here and turn off our water and dig up the street just in time for the afternoon Armageddo...| The Last Word On Nothing
Last Monday, 7/14/2025, NPR ran an interview with a woman who lived through the flood on Texas’s Guadalupe River, a terrible story and I paraphrase:| The Last Word On Nothing
At Datadog, we regularly hold hackathons, a dedicated time when we can explore new ideas and tinker with new technologies. During one of these hackathons, I found myself working side by side with a colleague who holds a Data Mining & Algorithms PhD. Driven by the desire to do something both cool and complex, we decided on building an online anomaly detection method for streaming logs. We both work in the Cloud SIEM team, a team that provides a security tool to analyse logs in a stateful manne...| Adri’s Blog
The repetition of this post, which first ran on April 5, 2021, and then again almost exactly a year ago, is out of my hands. I go outside for my morning walk, brooding on my bad habits; I look around the garden to see what’s not working now; and oh glory, oh sweet child of joy, the minor bulbs are blooming, they’re flourishing (“flourish,” from “florire,” to flower), they’re yelling all over the garden. How can I not?| The Last Word On Nothing
Well this story is just a pure delight. In 2017, the Chinese said that by 2030, they were going to be the world champions of AI. So in 2022, the U.S. put export controls on the fancy computer chips, especially Nvidia chips, that AI needed. Then in 2025, the Chinese announced an AI entity called DeepSeek that used, in part, outdated Nvidia chips but mostly inventive software. DeepSeek works as well as or better for AI’s LLMs, the large language models like ChatGPT. It uses 2,048 of those ol...| The Last Word On Nothing

This first ran on June 15, 2020 but it is about what happened the previous January. January 2020: things were objectively scary, what with an honest-to-goodness international pandemic and a blind-sided health community. I don’t think things have objectively improved since then, not on the whole, because even though that pandemic wound down, the next one is casting a birdy eye at us; and our leadership is objectively breaking records for human fuck-ups. Anyway, the sky is pretty orderly ...| The Last Word On Nothing
I was reading Becky’s beautiful book (Our Moon, you know the one, lead review in the NYTimes Book Review, longlisted for the National Book Award) and she was talking about how ancient people figured out amazing things about the moon. And by the way, ancient people figured out amazing things in general, like the circumference of the earth and the existence of atoms, getting it wrong half the time and the other half, stunningly right. I mean, left to me, humanity would never know the stars w...| The Last Word On Nothing
Ann discovered she was Autistic at age 11. It wasn’t until then that she saw autism as a spectrum. Ever since discovering she was Autistic, she has wanted everyone to know and be understanding of how it affects her. Unfortunately, she has had negative experiences with stereotypical assumptions, talking about her behind her back, and… Read More The post Autism Interview #210: Ann on Friendship and Making Assumptions appeared first on Learn From Autistics.| Learn From Autistics
