very much lines up with my experience - the strongest application of LLMs at the moment is to unstuck otherwise proficient professionals on tricky but fairly irrelevant subproblems (irrelevant because eg SA does not intrinsically care about the math, it's merely a tool here)

if you're looking for a way to make your mark in the world, you need to take initiative. but don't be surprised if the downstream effects are very different from what you expect them to be! hellmayr.com/blog/2025-09-2…
want to share some stats: a bit over a month ago, i started blogging again after many years - just putting things out into the world has consistently been the most rewarding strategy in my life. looking forward to the work I get to put into this in the coming months and years :)
It can be quite hard to figure out what to do with your life when you're starting out, and how to align your interests, skills with what the world needs from you - I wrote down what I wish I knew when I started out: hellmayr.com/blog/2025-09-1…
gemini, you‘re great, but i don‘t need to be reminded of your existence every single time i open any kind of google page

for a long time, i've been thinking about what the difference between good and bad explanations is - now i took some time to write down some thoughts: hellmayr.com/blog/2025-09-0…
there is a difference between wanting the capability to do something, and enjoying the activity itself
“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech!…
all my life i wondered what the trick to a good beef broth was. turns out it was following the canonical recipe 🤔
who you should take advice from hellmayr.com/blog/2025-08-3…
i recently started writing blog posts again (i used to, a long time ago, but all of that is gone now), and the most fascinating moment is when during proof-reading, you realize it applies to your life in a different way than you intended while writing it
tech soirée vienna today was a really really good event with @mitsuhiko @andreasklinger @badlogicgames and many more 🚀 hope to see more of these popping up soon
