Awesome, i like it a lot!

Some UX friction i noticed: To get back to the homepage from an article, i have to click on the article headline. While this is elegant and you likely get used to it, once you know it, it's not exactly intuitive.

Awesome, i love listening to Bach while developing.

While you're here, what other classical music can you recommend, especially for listening while working/focusing?

For me, it's currently

- Max Richter, discovered recently and he is fantastic

- The 'New Classical Essentials' playlist in Apple Music

- Brahms, especially String Sextet No. 1 (warning: can make Vulcans cry)

Yes chromatic abberation is caused by dispersion.

Cool this looks like it even has dispersion, i.e. colors separate at the edge of the glass element.

That's the most 2025 startup name and idea i've come across so far.

All models are wrong, some are merely useful - 1976/1933/earlier adage.

Right, all models are inherently wrong. It's up to the user know about its limits / uncertainty.

But i think this 'being wrong' is kind of confusing when talking about LLMs (in contrast to systems/scientific modelling). In what they model (language), the current LLMs are really good and acurate, except for example the occasional chinese character in the middle of a sentence.

But what we mean by LLMs 'being wrong' most of the time is being factually wrong in answering a question, that is expressed as language. That's a layer on top of what the model is designed to model.

EDITS:

So saying 'the model is wrong' when it's factually wrong above the language level isn't fair.

I guess this is essentially the same thought as 'all they do is hallucinate'.

I have been explaining this to friends and family by comparing LLMs to actors. They deliver a performance in-character, and are only factual if it happens to make the performance better.

This is comparing two orthogonal properties.

SaaS is a business model while malleable vs. rigid is a property of the software itself.
