Demanding "Free speech" is just a lever for people on the fringe to bully for promotion via recommendation algorithms. It has nothing to do with values and everything to do with achieving objectives.

This was like the golden age of individuals furthering the zeitgeist of entrepreneurial discovery. A glowing recommendation from a luminary was like finding a missing piece of the puzzle.

All of this is happening because Reddit Coins is a meme of a paid tier. Discord understands its not about comments, its about communities. Give users a way to boost/upgrade the subreddits they love, so users have a better experience on

There is definitely something wrong with discovery UX on youtube. I have many interests, but each of my devices has converged down to one topic based on usage. I don't know how to explore new topics, it's like I can only flip betw

A little crazy to me that Discord can create an attractive subscription tier while Reddit flounders. Well, maybe not so surprising with their product team.

They wasted half a decade not building promised moderation tools for the people who create value on Reddit. Instead they were busy running cost/benefit analyses on how aggressive the dark patterns to drive users to the maligned mobile

It is a viable first entry as an AR computer. Does it need to be anything more than that? In 10 years with GenAI video creation and GenAI NPCs it could be bonkers cool.

What I find curious is the “observed” properties of the whirlwinds within each and every proton & neutron are so phenomenally complex, I would not be surprised at all if the mathematical abstractions of strings represent another quantum

The problem will persist until there is a major shift in local norms for policing and law enforcement. A segment of the homeless can not be reached by social programs, and crime tourism is rampant. The unspoken deal is law enforcement doesn

At age 35 I was diagnosed with ADHD. Woah! I try to minimize medication. A few tricks.. 1. An ADHD diagnosis looks at 5 areas, Activation, Effort, Memory, Attention and Affect. I struggle with Activation and Effort. If I am inactive, I now

SVB has assets but not liquidity. This is not like 2008 where the assets themselves are worthless.

Before people get too excited about letting it all burn, I recommend everyone watch this talk by an economist on the 2008 recovery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrFSO62p0jk Spoiler alert (18:30): It was entrepreneurshi

The expansion of space-time is an observed property of space. It has always been expanding, but at different rates. My interpretation of this theory is that spacetime beyond the event horizon is also expanding. This expansion increases vacu

For a lay person with an interest in cosmology, please check out the History of the Universe YouTube channel. It’s really superb: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fX_1pM64uUk

Google is a better search engine of Reddit than Reddit. Especially the app search which is a bloody mess.

It is amusing I uninstalled the Reddit app because I use google as an entry-point so often and it’s really a pain universal links forced me to open the app for a worse experience. Stupid product strategy to ignore Google!

I enjoyed a recent panel by celebrity physicists where the point was made that current theories have plateau’d into the realm of metaphysics. Some were surprising sceptics of the use of purely mathematical models for things we will never be

Oi. The great weakness of academics is the obsession with semantics. Debating the words used is a poor subsitute for exploring the concepts. The experimenters are clear their ‘wormhole’ is a computational “hologram” of a one-dimensional wor
