Thoughts on Dubai A collection of observations from my second trip to Dubai

I tried to write up some of my thoughts from my most recent trip to Dubai

Will probably edit this more as I think more about it

I think our priority is probably rightfind > libkey > getftr

We’ve talked to them before, I think they’re pretty good

Tiger Hat, meant to ward against the yin forces of cold and winter

We have a linting rule that bans “as”, and a claude.md explaining the specific concrete scenarios where it’s allowed to ts-ignore, it works pretty well

I’m now in Dubai

ama about Dubai

I think this painting is really nice

Just next time you’re in the city! I’d be happy to take you

I haven’t spent enough time here, but this week Stripe Press launched our newest book, Maintenance: of Everything, Part One, by the inimitable Stewart Brand: press.stripe.com/maintenance-...

It’s good

Me and my fiancé get to practice being just a couple of bros hanging out

This paper estimates the rise in atmospheric H2 from 2010 to 2020 added about 0.02°C of warming. That is roughly 1 to 2% of today’s human caused warming of about 1.22°C. Worth cutting leaks, but probably not a deciding factor for hydrogen cars vs electric rail. [1][2]

My office has a pipe that sometimes just belches steam, and I think this should be a thing in every office

Very good rain today

I guess by harsh I mean that you actually have interesting criticism. Most of what i see is just people having uninteresting criticism or uninteresting support

Yeah sadly there is basically ~no way to get PDFs without acting on the user's behalf somehow

I strongly recommend @aarontay.bsky.social on this subject. Generally harsh but fair and posts about the research ~constantly

Today, we're releasing two updates to the Elicit Library to keep your papers organized:

Collections: Group papers by project or task.

Smart De-duplication: Automatically detect and merge versions of the same paper, even if the titles and abstracts don’t exactly match.

Clinical Trials are live on Elicit 🎊 You can now search through the 545,000 trials available on clinicaltrials.gov and summarize them in structured tables or descriptive reports.

New trial registrations are instantly available.
