Watts is truly remarkable. I also recommend the Sunflowers series, just a brilliant conceit w.r.t humans in deep time plus a sound understanding of dealing with ASI. Wikipedia has it down as: The chronological order within the Sunflower uni

Great article, but I can't believe it didn't mention the sator square! SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS (Very easy to commit to memory too since most of the letters are right there in the name!)

Bad LSD being "a thing" and bad LSD being "a thing that causes bad trips" are very very different. Among the things that people often sell as LSD, some have dangerously steep dose-response curves like 25I-NBOMe, some are

I always figured the funnest thing would just be not to give it a name, and then when people ask be like, well yesterday was Sunday and tomorrow is Monday. But the more reasonable proposal I heard was just to call it New Years Day/Week

Accelerando by Charles Stross is a blast, fairly hard scifi, at least the first half. Blindsight by Peter Watts is also fantastic, same grade as Egan IMO.

They paper is also telling them how to poison their databases, so if they really wanted to avoid being used in that way they could do. The paper also tells them how to solve that issue, which is what google would prefer. But they are lettin

This. This is what I use it for most often at the moment (helping out my rusty physics). Its super helpful. If I was 20 again, teaching myself maths on Khan Academy, with this grade of chatbot in the corner ready to help out? Heaven.
