Experimenting with Identity and Personality
The most important technique I’ve learned in the last year is how to run an identity/personality experiment. It’s unlocked an ability to intentionally learn and grow far greater than any reading, conversation, class, or singular experience. It’s the only way I’ve found to create lasting changes at a core, underlying level to my personality. Many resources I’ve read talk about specific experiments…
Reflections on 2023

This is the ultimate value of rapid decision making (at a company, and in life): you live more experiences, and grow stronger as a result. Fear is almost always a bad reason to avoid doing something — instead, when you notice yourself holding back because of fear, lean into that…
Designing More Effectively
Over the last year at Luminous Computing, I've worked as a product manager and AI lead defining system-level architectures for our AI chip. My approach to design has evolved substantially over the last year, and developing the below principles has exponentially increased my productivity.

Demystifying “Matrix Capsules with EM Routing.”
Recently, Geoffrey Hinton, one of the fathers of deep learning, made waves in the machine learning community by publishing a revolutionary computer vision architecture: capsule networks. Hinton has been pushing for using capsule networks since 2012, after he first revolutionized the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image detection, but only now has he made them feasible. The initial…
