'water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, . so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light". '. (found via HN)

aura is the final resource, the remit of worship objects that cannot be recreated. the mona lisa original has aura. the papacy of rome has aura. a city block of lower manhattan has aura. a great historical romance has aura. if any are destroyed they can never be remade.

having spent 7 years at Google, I really prefer how Gemini breaks down problems. it matches my expectation of how a competent colleague would think. these models all trained on public data but somehow the soul of the company comes through (rlhf?).

Perplexity Comet is so bad, wtf are y'all talking about. Incredibly lazy, has access to all my tabs and yet doesn't do anything with them.

The flip side of AI context rot is 'context crystallization.'. When the LLM navigates a codebase and sees good practices, it tends to write similarly good code. It is forced into stability by the type system and conventions. Like a crystal forming a lattice around a seed.

Why is no one talking about how Cloudflare:.- reinvented Erlang’s actors for the modern age (Durable Objects).- rebuilt the OTP runtime (queues, workflows, etc). And lets you:.- write in a mainstream language (TS).- run code on a globally distributed, high availability cluster.

Why hasn't there been a vertical player in the D2C health/longevity space?. 1. Collect biomarkers (Function, Ultrahuman, Levels).2. Ship personalized supplements monthly (Huel, Blueprint).3. Prescribe meds as needed (Ro, Hims). Seems like endless upsell opp., great margins.

I really like reading these subpoenaed tech strategy emails. With my wordcel skills, I think I'd do a very good job being an executive.

When I worked on Google Search, entire high-impact projects would be motivated by a handful of queries and why they sucked. Obviously the impact had to show at the aggregate level, but the intuitions were built 'in the small'.

I always learn a lot more from in-depth analysis of few random cases over dashboards of aggregate statistics across all cases. Both projections can be helpful but the latter is disproportionately pervasive.
