On September 12 I’ll be stepping into the role of Signal’s President, a new position created in collaboration with Signal’s leadership. I am thrilled, and I can’t think of a more meaningful use of my time, or a greater honor. I’ve been a friend, admirer, and champion of Signal since it was RedPhone and TextSecure, and in 2020 I joined Signal’s Board of Directors, helping inform high-level strategy and direction. So in many ways this is a happy step on a long continuum, not a dramatic change.<
A typical task in theoretical neuroscience is “modeling”, for instance, building and analysing network models of cerebellar cortex that incorporate the diversity of cell types and synaptic connections observed in this structure. The goal is to better understand the functions of these diverse cell types and connections. Approaches from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics and machine […]
We all get our work done differently. Some of us are at our desks from 9 to 5, while others work more flexible hours. Some of us commute to work, while others work from home (or do both). Regardless of our setup, we are always connected and available, either through our desktop or our phones. […] The post How we redesigned Slack for the iPad appeared first on Slack Design .
This is an interview with Danko Nikolic and John Smart on the future of AI and their respective theories of Practopoiesis – Neuromimicry, and Autopoiesis – Biomimicry. During our 2-hour conversation with Danko and John, we cover a variety of interesting topics such as evolution, development, and life as a network; practopoiesis and the origins […]
As you’ll know if you follow me on Twitter, I’ve been kindof obsessed with the text-to-image GPT models OpenAI released as DALL-E recently. I’ve enjoyed generating art and even collaborating with DALL-E to riff on paintings I’ve made myself.
Private doesn’t mean lonely. Signal’s mission is to help you connect with people in a secure way. This means that you need to know which of your contacts are also on Signal. This is called “contact discovery” and it’s an essential part of any messaging app. Most other communications apps enable contact discovery by maintaining their own internal social graph or by uploading and storing your full address book on their
GATE provides support for loading numerous different document formats, as well as a number of ways populating corpora. Until recently, however, we've not offered any way of populating a corpus from a simple list of URLs. Worse, even though it's now quite easy to do this in GATE it's unlikely you would come across the option by accident. The support for this is actually hidden away inside the "Format CSV" plugin (you'll need to use version 8.7 or above) and in GATE Developer is exposed
We need quite different functionality than statistics to model language. We may need this functionality in other areas of intelligence, but with language it is obvious. Or, for the DL community – we can model anything with statistics, of course. It will just not be a very good model … What follows is that the […]
Covid 19 has presented extraordinary challenges to almost everyone around the world and to almost all facets of life including: health care, the economy, personal interactions, education, transportation, supply-chain, mental health, law enforcement to name just a few. One of the crucial elements in dealing with a pandemic that affects all aspects of daily […]
Without a doubt, the social revolution in the West and individual insight/enlightenment in the East are among humanity’s greatest accomplishments. But we can have them separate no longer for we desperately need both because individual people make society but, in turn, society makes individuals. We need to unite the quest for personal enlightenment and the […]
I recently gave a talk (YouTube) at the RSS'22 L-DOD workshop. Here's a lightly edited transcript and slides of the talk in blog form.
Helion has been progressing even faster than I expected and is on pace in 2024 to 1) demonstrate Q > 1 fusion and 2) resolve all questions needed to design a mass-producible fusion generator. The goals of the company are quite ambitious—clean, continuous energy for 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, and the ability to manufacture enough power plants to satisfy the current electrical demand of earth in a ten year period. If both things happen, it will transform the world. Abundant, clean, and radically in
I call it the vertical-horizontal model: a model of neuron interaction, where the neuron is a complete microprocessor of a very special kind. This allows to build a symbolic brain.

Joscha Bach is a beautiful mind and a very rewarding interlocutor. No surprise I had many requests to have him back on my podcast. I apologize that it took 4 years but the good news is we are going to have a third conversation much sooner this time around. If you haven’t seen our first […]
React 18 was years in the making, and with it brought valuable lessons for the React team. Its release was the result of many years of research and exploring many paths. Some of those paths were successful; many more were dead-ends that led to new insights. One lesson we’ve learned is that it’s frustrating for the community to wait for new features without having insight into these paths that we’re exploring.
The mobile-first design methodology is great—it focuses on what really matters to the user, it’s well-practiced, and it’s been a common design pattern for years. So developing your CSS mobile-first should also be great, too…right? Well, not necessarily. Classic mobile-first CSS development is based on the principle of overwriting style declarations: you begin your CSS with default style declarations, and overwrite and/or add new styles as you add breakpoints with min-width media queries for larg
Now with first-party TypeScript types, arbitrary variants, improved CSS variable DX, and tons more.

It's been a while since I've written about what we've been working on so I have a lot to share! Too much honestly — so put your swim suit on, sit back in your lounge chair, and prepare to soak up some vitamin CSS.
Animations make browsers more fun, but they also require solving a lot of really interesting algorithmic and design challenges to utilize GPU-accelerated compositing. Find out how in our new chapter, Animating and Compositing!
Nested routes and layouts, client and server routing, React 18 features, and designed for Server Components.
About two and a half years ago, I introduced the idea of daily ethical design . It was born out of my frustration with the many obstacles to achieving design that’s usable and equitable; protects people’s privacy, agency, and focus; benefits society; and restores nature. I argued that we need to overcome the inconveniences that prevent us from acting ethically and that we need to elevate design ethics to a more practical level by structurally integrating it into our daily work, processes, and to

Slack is primarily designed for team communication in channels. Channels are where work happens: It’s where teams exchange ideas, get feedback, and share files. It’s a constant stream of conversation that keeps everyone on the same page. But plenty of important information in Slack exists in formats other than messages. Think about how often you […] The post Beyond the last message: Designing for all information in Slack appeared first on Slack Design .
Today we did a research launch of DALL•E 2, a new AI tool that can create and edit images from natural language instructions. Most importantly, we hope people love the tool and find it useful. For me, it’s the most delightful thing to play with we’ve created so far. I find it to be creativity-enhancing, helpful for many different situations, and fun in a way I haven’t felt from technology in a while. But I also think it’s noteworthy for a few reasons: 1) This is another example of what I think i
