Hi! I'm Victor!
Here's a quick intro :D

These days I focus on ML/AI at Google but have been a teacher, data scientist MLE, etc.

I try to be genuine & positive so when I leave this world it's in a better state than I found it

Have one more work day this year so naturally trying to plan out some final reads for this year

Basically comes down to these themes:
* linguistics & language
* living life 'better'
* animals
* AI/tech madness
* Twilight saga extras

(stack's already 12 books deep so won't finish them all in 2025)

Hands down the Muppet's version of A Christmas Carol is the best season's movie. But have you heard this reading of the movie?

So well-done! My 5yr old twins are digging it while we chill out for 30min

The exclusive vs inclusive 'or'

You realize that after a while that your logic/math interpretation of it almost always being 'inclusive or' overrides the typical English 'exclusive or' interpretation

This message was 100% written by a software developer who's used to thinking in logic tables
Truly unhinged question format from a bank with tens of millions of customers.

If you work in tech and frequent some place — a restaurant, bar, cafe, etc — tip well. You can afford it and it can make someone’s entire year, let alone their day.

Opening up for the first time Factorio Space Age a friend gifted me at the airport definitely has a particular kind of vibe

Happy World Linguistics Day from the Bay Area (California, US)!

(But if I'm currently on vacation in Chico, CA / Sacramento, CA do I count where I am or where I live??)
Happy World Linguistics Day from Montreal, Canada!

(I wonder how many different places we can get world linguistics day wishes from this year!)
Happy World Linguistics Day from Melbourne, Australia!

Last night I was playing with networking on my home intranet so my new headless machine connected together directly w/ ethernet to my server

It's not really that impressive or important to anyone here, but I was all giddy getting it to work as expected :D
(Felt like a linux god for a hot moment!)

hey #data people, read this quick post on survivorship bias & how to actually identify & work with it (with the power of math!!)

Happy 'Dragons Love Tacos' Day to those who celebrate!

If you got kids, you should totally hear Band Books' reading of the book — it's glorious

Yesterday made a little local terminal chat server & client where the family could use our intranet to chat. Kids were having a blast!

Ended up adding more tweaks & running a client from my phone
(fyi this is a fake chat — kids really liked saying potty words, as kids do)

Dang @thestorygraph.com is down : /

It's times like this I wish there was an API I could later use to update my reading progress. For now. Going back to my old way of timing & taking manual notes

Frankly makes me again play with the idea of building something myself ('dig my own well')

Big moment as a dad: teaching my kids to play Factorio ♥️♥️

They're 5yrs old & just learning how to use WASD + mouse
definitely a bit of an extra challenge that they are just starting to learn to read. But they're still having a good time learning "Dad's building game"

We're doing our weekend house cleanup of the kids' room, and what do I find randomly in a basket of laundry that they filled up?

That's right! An unopened jar of mayonnaise!

Just learned that @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passed on

If you didn't know much about Alice Wong, they were a disability rights activist.
A couple years ago, read their 'Disability Visibility' book of essays— definitely worth reading

I'm excited to announce my RLHF Book is now in pre-order for the @manning.com Early Access Program (MEAP), and for this milestone it's 50% off.

Excited to land in print in early 2026! Lots of improvements coming soon.

Thanks for the support!
