My Phone Replaced a Brass Plug

I wanted to cook venison from scratch, which meant learning to shoot, which meant keeping track of my progress, which meant porting a 2012 OpenCV paper and training a state-of-the-art computer vision model, which meant the dinner took a bit longer than expected.

Is Donald Trump Antichrist?

Is Donald Trump antichrist? Whether he is, at minimum, simply one in a long line of “types” that runs from Cain and Nimrod on is not, I think, an unreasonable thing to ask about someone who now literally identifies himself with Jesus Christ. Many of you will be aware that the familiar conception of antichrist as a specific named individual—familiar even to non-Christian viewers of horror films such as Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen —is not drawn from a specific passage in the Bible. John’s...

Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI

For eight years, I’ve wanted a high-quality set of devtools for working with SQLite. Given how important SQLite is to the industry1, I’ve long been puzzled that no one has invested in building a really good developer experience for it2. A couple of weeks ago, after ~250 hours of effort over three months3 on evenings, weekends, and vacation days, I finally released syntaqlite (GitHub), fulfilling this long-held wish. And I believe the main reason this happened was because of AI coding...
