      And this all started in the Pleistocene This post about Blackhawk Slide is getting some action lately, my stats page says. It features a photo I shot, but this one tells the story better and has more geology. In revisiting that piece, I learned that two of my own sources, geolog…

    • There's no point at which turning your brain off will work

      In early 2025, I started seeing people turn off their brain as they use LLMs1. They would have an LLM take an action (summarize text, write some code, etc.), and just assume that it worked2. This generally didn't work in early 2025 and the result was often quite silly. As LLMs…

    • A new prayer for the fruit fly connectome

      If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of hearing about so-called “AI”. We are not a fringe. The majority consensus amongst actual regular people is that this is being forced down our throats and stuffed into our eyes and ears. That’s why it pains me that I’m about…
