Why the best journalists on YouTube are all former Vox employees
The company became a skunk works incubator that invented its own language of visual storytelling.

I am once again asking GHC devs to make it possible for tooling such as HLint and the Haskell Language Server to compile against multiple versions of GHC.
I realise that this is a gigantic undertaking, but if you're wondering why people don't stick with Haskell, it might be because every compiler version upgrade breaks *everything*.

this is basically "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" for the northeastern USA, isn't it

GOP Senator Accidentally Reveals Howard Lutnick’s Tariff Ignorance
The heated exchange was the latest sign of growing impatience over the White House’s trade strategy.

Companies House have just sent me an email telling me that because of new laws, I need to verify my identity. So I leapt into action. There follows an open letter.
Dear Companies House.
The questions "Do you have a passport?" and "Do you have your passport on you in the office right now?" are different fucking questions and you should clarify which you mean before you direct me down an irreversible cul-de-sac in your application's verification logic.

Multihead self-attention in cortico-thalamic circuits
Both biological cortico-thalamic networks and artificial transformer networks use canonical computations to perform a wide range of cognitive tasks. In this work, we propose that the structure of cortico-thalamic circuits is well suited to realize a computation analogous to multihead self-attention, the main algorithmic innovation of transformers. We start with the concept of a cortical unit module or microcolumn, and propose that superficial and deep pyramidal cells carry distinct computationa…

Wait wait wait, you're telling me the US has a hurricane SEASON? I thought there were only four of those things, and now you're saying there are FIVE?? 🤯
