yes, post bit challenging to follow, too metamotif for immediate practical use. proximate notion of phase-locked loops (PLL) to measure & calibrate machines more accessible & familiar motif. emerging work to mimic control theory phase lock in metamaterials, information theory, etc. bleeding edge of transfer use cases of these same PLL/control principles. also key for AI alignment.

ya, almost every app is over-opinionated on design and only getting worse not better in most case, iOS 26 is perhaps the most egregious mass-market example

thinking to this day afaik still can't change width of first column on Monday.com even tho they claim to replace spreadsheets and only js console will fix

or Trello going the opposite direction of former CTO when any page specifically had sub-second load target. now many seconds, that insane auto markdown editor showing up on almost all input boxes except HN that can't disable no chatgpt i dont want automated bullets i wanted plaintext so can c/p etc.

interesting approach to tune models for readable text in monospace CLI terminals where basically +/- tune for this does or doesn't meet some fixed width view

could probably do view LoRA at some reasonable level likely also applications for time-series prediction, ARC-like or other puzzle solving, etc. especially if got into fixed height along with fixed width, terminal readable --more-- with good pagination paragraph separation, etc.
