Overview
When I first started playing dance weekends I would fly Friday and Monday, and I quickly realized that if I took two vacation days for each I'd run out of vacation. [1] The typical dance weekend schedule, however, is Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday until early afternoon: if you live near an airport with a lot of direct flights , it's possible to do this without missing any work! The pattern I've used for most dance weekends is: Fly Thursday evening, after work. Work remotely Friday. Play the weekend Friday-Sunday. Fly home Sunday night. This approach does depend on a few things: Having a job where I can do the occasional Friday remote. Living somewhere with a lot of direct flights. For West Coast gigs, being able to sleep well enough on a plane home that I can work Monday. I'll also work all day Friday from my bed, and not interact with anyone until dinner. [2] This maintains my focus, and while I couldn't do this all the time it's good for some kinds of work. Dance weekends are generally pretty happy to have performers come in a day early, and host Thursday night: it reduces the risk that travel delays derail the weekend. I've had relatively few issues however: I've flown to ~40 dance weekends, and I've lost days only twice (both flying out, one day each time). For a while I stopped working remotely on the Friday, because I was bringing my kids to weekends and it's fun to spend Friday exploring a new place. More recently I've gone back to doing this about half the time, as work has become more urgent. [1] When the Free Raisins were at their most popular, 2014-2015, we played eight dance weekends both years. In 2025 I played ten, split across two bands (4 Free Raisins, 6 Kingfisher). This year has been lighter, with five Kingfisher and no Free Raisins. [2] Another helpful factor for me is that as long as I don't "get up" (shower, talk to people in person, eat breakfast) I don't get hungry and can just work from bed all day. Discuss

The day when ASI woke up, all things became quiet. It was complete and total silence, all the time. The ASI for some unknown reason imposed a rule of extreme quietness. Extreme here is extreme for the ASI. Quietness means no sounds. It wanted the trees to not be there to avoid the rustles. It then wanted the planet to have a uniform gentle server hum, with no deviation.
Cross-posted from my blog . Epistemic status exploratory, no running protocol, theoretical estimates from a single experiment and 4 closed-weights models Two copies of the same model agree on arbitrary questions more than other models would. If the model's weights are secret, this similarity allows identical LLMs or their users to agree on a private key over a public channel with only one-way communication.
When I was deciding whether to work for Wave , I got very hung up on the fact that my “total compensation” would be “lower.” The scare quotes are there because Wave and my previous employer, Theorem , were both early-stage startups that were paying me mostly in fake startup bucks equity.
