I love Wait But Why's post on AI: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revol...

  This one is great ! But you could as well post half of Wait But Why posts - it's really one of the most interesting blogs on the web. I love this one more though (much shorter, but makes you think, and once you start thinking about it seriously...): https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/10/100-blocks-day.html https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/10/100-blocks-day.html

  I'd also very much recommend his post on Neuralink and Brain Computer Interfaces: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html It's long, but way worth it.

Slate Star Codex is a foundational blog for me. "I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup" is a good place to start: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin... Then the rest of the best-of: https://slatestarcodex.com/about/ https://slatestarcodex.com/about/ Lately I've been obsessed with Samzdat on Seeing Like a State: https://samzdat.com/2017/05/22/man-as-a-rationalist-animal/ https://samzdat.com/2017/05/22/man-as-a-rationalist-animal/

Simo Ahava is an absolute legend for anything google tag manager / google analytics related. No other site is even remotely close. https://www.simoahava.com/ https://www.simoahava.com/

The Truth About Cars. Product Management, strategy, and product-market-fit are not isolated to software, and we're frankly not very good at them compared to 100 year old companies. Watching Tesla show the faults in the SV way of doing things has been really fascinating, for example.

  I read through those while working at a Fortune 500 company. It sounded so close to truth, like the author was observing the same interactions I saw. Turns out he was at the same company at one point. The fact that those stand the test of time and resonate with so many people working in large organizations really helps with perspective.

  An amazing article. I love these kinds of articles that actually have an effect on your life after reading them.

  This is an amazing article that I had read a few years back. Incidentally, I had tried many combinations of keywords to find it again but no avail. Thanks to you, my search is finally over.

https://www.gwern.net https://www.gwern.net Gwern is an independent researcher who studies... a lot of things. He's documented some of the history of the dark web, blogs about his nootropics experience and, perhaps most notably, predicted that bitcoin might reach $10,000... in 2011. https://thelastpsychiatrist.com https://thelastpsychiatrist.com The blogs that aspire to follow in TLP's footsteps are legion.
