I've seen lots of people talking about SHEIN's acquisition of Everlane over the last week. Nobody I know was happy about it. But the story isn't over. Yesterday, Michael announced stillradical.com which @KimBhasin covered in the @nytimes nytimes.com/2026/05/28/bus…
We had an unbelievable tech team and talent overall. Many of them went onto awesome careers. Founders of Coderpad, Modern Treasury, Maude, amongst others EPD at Airbnb, Stripe, Apple, Oscar, Google, I’m sure I am missing some. Many were fist-time PMs and engineers and I’m very grateful to have helped them get started.
S/O Everlane one time. 2013-2016. You just had to be there. Best first job I could ever ask for.

Claude先生の忌憚なき率直無比のご高説、恐悦至極に存じ奉ります。🙇♂️ I've never seen Claude do this before! It's the third question in a series of questions about Cartesian trees. This is Opus 4.7 set to "Adaptive". Does no visible thinking block imply no extended thinking?
Wow what a great and refreshing read.

This was a tough but necessary decision - I posted my own notes on this here, from the perspective of a current PSF board member simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/ps…
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-fu… 🧵 pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-fu…
This is empirically incorrect. Hundreds of thousands of fast.ai students have learned the required math for ML as they go. By *far* the biggest problem we've seen is from people who try to learn the math first. They learn the wrong stuff & have not context.
One of the most common - yet most preventable - traps that people fall into, that leads them to give up on their ML aspirations:
DI advocates seem to want a nice skill tree (DAG) which you learn in topological order. But, IMO, if understanding enough X helps you learn Y then understanding enough Y probably helps you learn X. Cycles abound.
I feel like direct instruction advocates often have a case of "grade school"-itis. My experience teaching adults, for example, is that they have a wide range of prior experiences to draw from. Some use math to learn ML, some use ML to learn math, and some bounce between.

@tqbf Is this the "NHE Tables (Zip)" linked on the Historical data page (cms.gov/data-research/…)?
Never doubt that direct action gets the goods
@greg_ashman For example, do you think there's EVER an instance where an individual novice would benefit more from open-ended instruction over direct instruction? If so, how to tell? In my cough example, maybe the cough was caused by a rare calcium deficiency.
@greg_ashman I suppose the difference is: - "Every SoL strategy works for every student", which is a confused objection - "For every student, there exists an SoL strategy which will work", which might be what you're suggesting?
@greg_ashman Or is SoL more like public health in that way? If I'm going to make a global recommendation then I'd recommend drinking water for a cough because that helps a cough more than milk in 99 out of 100 cases, and never hurts. Even if 1:100 students would be better off drinking milk.
@greg_ashman For example, the "mean" medical advice if you have a cough might be to drink water and wait a few days. But if it persists then there's a whole suite of differential follow-ups. Yea, it's good to know drinking water is better than drinking milk. Is SoL beyond that stage?
