The brain is not a passive receiver — it’s a prediction machine that is fundamentally reward-structured around novelty and progress.

this is fucking insane! the CEO of anthropic said what most C-suites only say behind closed doors. "50% of all entry-level Lawyers, Consultants, and Finance Professionals will be completely wiped out within the next 1–5 years." this is the head of one of the biggest AI companies alive telling ordinary people to wake up. good news is that the playbook hasn't changed. pick an industry. learn the workflows. become the "AI guy" these companies need! you don't need a degree. you sure as hell don't need to be a McKinsey consultant. you need claude, a vertical, and the hunger to learn a business better than anyone else. god speed! will be rooting for ya.

In Feb 2026, with the help of my supervisor, Kalle Timperi at the University of Oulu, I had a chance to present our work on the visualization and numeric tool of set-valued dynamical systems with Prof. Jeroen Lamb and his research groups from Imperial College London. In this very first blog post of 2026, I wrote a little summary of what I've learned while working on this research project. namvdo.ai/set-valued-dyn…

The purpose of studying deterministic dynamical systems is the same as the purpose of studying any idealized mathematical model: not because reality is exactly like the model, but because the model is simple enough to understand completely, and understanding it completely gives you the conceptual tools and vocabulary to understand the more complex reality around it.

His tears didn’t come from anger, but from confusion, fear, and the ache of not understanding. “ Are they my children?” he whispered, voice trembling as doctors guided him to sit, urging him to breathe. 😭

In CRUD websites, database schemas provide static type stability so a language that lacks static typing like Ruby is not a big impediment. In the case of complicated and advanced algorithms written by teams that don't use a DB, static types help more. (3/3)
