Kudos on launch! (I know the founders personally) — amazing mission and the team is a great fit to solve this problem.

Well written, though it’s important to remember that different juries judge different writing styles as “better.” Conciseness would be celebrated in business and tech. Vague, ornate writing might be appreciated by those who enjoy surreal books and art.

What happens to a craft that stops encouraging beginners?

Can't leave us hanging on that

Great share! The ending is also very grounding (versus modern "superhero" media)

Absolutely. Better to focus on what actually matters, and keep the action dense.

Normal people, sally rooney. Quite intoxicating

Nexus, ramez naam. Good down to earth story for more people, and topic is right on the cusp of being ethically relevant (perception tech)

It tells people what they want to hear but don’t consciously realize

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this just threw my mind in an amazing spin.

Nothing additional to add here except want to cheer you on. Hang in there for whatever goal or path you visualize and decide to pursue in life. Wishing you well!

I feel the different vignettes also provide something relatable to more people than one story would

We might solve some of these problems with a 3rd party reader that uses Twitter APIs but with a differently structured feed (focus on X people, ignore Y term, etc). Anybody else?

On the different pathways that inflammation might lead to arterial wall damage, here is a good read:

Well said. Social dynamics would continue as pre Internet if humans naturally understood this extension. It seems profile pics with statuses turned out to be the complexity level sufficient for humans to begin conflating these abstractions with reality

Cases like this illustrate how electronic information is perception tech that has scaled human abilities much further than the printing press did, but with incorrect abstractions that have compounded over time, at the expense of our relationships...

We can’t stop human culture from evolving, but we would do well to measure more of where we’re headed. The best related examples off the top of my head is how debates via democracy were had at some point as we decided how juvenile criminal records work

Related, sonder is significant because it is a rare feeling

Maybe take an adventure or experience that leaves you with utter awe

If you have access to a community with thinkers you respect: put up a challenge where you thoroughly detail the music/ books/ideas that changed your life or strongly empower your perception of it. If somebody recommends another worthy one they win the prize. But the important detail with this plan is that this would only work if the community already gets joy out of doing the recommendation by itself for free. The money is more just an excuse to start a “contest”

I feel this article both understates the effects of having a free plan, but also arrives at an unfair conclusion. It's probably smart to not offer a free plan when your startup is looking for PMF and iterating features, a la that Superhuman trope. Which is indeed impactful as that could kill a startup. But in the case of Trello or Jira as mentioned by top comment, which are established companies, they are indeed pointlessly leaving behind $.

I heard once that cost-plus is related to the bloating of US defense budget and Boeing, Lockheed etc post WW2. Could someone familiar share some thoughts on what differences there are w this in pharma?

Been using and loving foam since it came out. Decided to use backlinks as a tagging system to take advantage of VSCodes / the extensions backlinks display.

Wish the main mode of navigation was visual clusters of text + used key shortcuts like vimium.

Also wish the graph wasn’t newly generated each time. At the moment the graph is essentially pointless, with no long-term meaning communicated by the structure. There’s an open issue on that iirc

Super interesting. I wonder what other latent domain-specific intelligence GPT-3 picked up during training, that is parseable with text in and text out. Like a flash cards generator?

Thank goodness nobody was hurt in the stampede!

Anyway, a couple educated guesses:

- fleet management and compliance

- authN / authZ, both by operators and determining allowed functionality of the drone itself, for the BigCos with multi-use drones used across depts

- simulation, QA

- modular equipment

- repair services hardware + software (unless economy of scale renders replacement a better deal)

Drop me a line if you're thinking about any of this.

Not personally involved with the petition, though I did use to be a student.

Would it be possible to repurpose it for future infrastructure? Ie a delivery drone highway?

I expect Google wants to "organize the world's information" with drones too, a la Google Maps did with roads/cars. Drones offer the latest coveted bridge to extend the Internet's instantaneous energy and awareness to incorporate the physical world.

Ah, missed that, thanks. Even more interesting then!

The daily smokers rate amongst COVID-19 patients was at 5.3%, whilst amongst the general population, the daily smokers rate was at 25.4%.

Not to be macabre, but could it potentially be that more smokers die before reaching the older age range of most COVID hospitalizations?
