I remade my website: sebastianaaltonen.com Includes full publication list with links to slides/talks, github projects and my blog. SquareSpace is gone. It’s a custom static page generator now. Faster and better.

Two thoughts from Jonathan Kozol "Children sometimes understand things that most grown-ups do not see." "Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win."

This amazing! I wish group theorist (and creator of the finite automata 'game of life'), John Conway were still here to see this: cfsg.axiommath.ai/. 43M lines of Lean proof.

Happy International Artists Day to all the incredible creators out there !! I think art can be found in so many things we don't always think of as art. It could be the way you arrange flowers, how you cook a meal, or even the way you make a joke and post it No matter what you create from the heart, I believe it's worth sharing. Whether it's with your friend or for the world.. you never know where it might end up. Like this song for example - this is Canon in D by Pachelbel, and it was written in the 1600s.. and here I am in the 2020s playing it in my own style :) It's lived on for centuries ! You never know how far something you create might travel <3

Understanding is the noblest of pursuits. People who actively strive to understand are pushing against uncertainty. People who give up on understanding are willingly falling into chaos.

"how hard can it be" is how you build something never done before. it's an extremely useful delusion to have.
Funniest thing here is that this is a really experience person and they're STILL falling victim to the "how hard can it be" trap. This is why I believe all proof-of-concept projects are simply a waste of everyone's time. Everything works for the simple case

I've been working off-and-on on a programming language since December. The repo is private. Only 2-3 people have seen it. I have no plans to make it public, to write a paper about it, anything. I just … like … building languages to explore ideas. It's my little basil plant.
It’s called having a hobby, and people used to be encouraged to have one, but now influencer bros will judge for not maxxxxxxxxing on that, too. A garden is never finished, either.

I know I might sound like an old record, but why does undoing a change in a material take seconds? I don't care if it's 10 or 2. Why is the unit of measurement *seconds*? I will not stop pointing this out until developers everywhere understand how fast PCs are.
When I undo a change in a big material, it takes 10 seconds and the UI is frozen. This change reduces the wait to just 2 seconds.

The best career decisions I've made felt a bit too early at the time. Readiness is something you grow into. Not something you wait for.
