Goals of these notes

Last updated 2026-05-01

Calling something a blog feels a bit intimidating, and I think most of these things on my site are like notes. Here are some goals of the blog / notes:

• Keeping a record of my beliefs as they change
• Creating some incentive structure so as to make myself spend more time clarifying thoughts
• Potentially provide some entertainment for others
• & per the Rule of Three, in Gwern’s words:

  If something has come up 3 times already, then it’s probably going to come up again. If you rant about or have to explain something 3 times, write it up!

And, appropriating Miles’s note from his site (verbatim): Note that everything on this site is endorsed by at least one of my past iterations, but not necessarily by my most recent one.
