The mission is to have enough to book the space flight for my crew.
I’m noticing that there is much highly promoted low quality information, especially on the web, and the ramifications of it. Maybe because I’m hitting the edges of certain topics where I need high rigor and accuracy.
I’m in the zoo with a bankroll
Tax management software and the rap industry (excluding merch) got similar market caps
Don’t forget - Stevie Wonder was on David Frost in 72 - Do I Do came out in 82 - Computer Love 86 - Rappa Ternt Sanga 05 - 808s 08
Easy starting point: 1. Find something from 40 years ago that was groundbreaking but got stuck 2. Take it very seriously one layer up
Remember, people like stories The rest is just set dressing
Avi Wigderson won the Turing award for his contributions to computer science with a focus on randomness and complexity theory. Zero-knowledge proofs are really en vogue—it was the topic of some his earliest work. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/116825.116852
Some kid has a self message thread full of YouTube songs to skip ads. I would be them. I am them.

Higgs boson so known that I thought the man was not in my lifetime. RIP
#1 on the field and #1 in your heart
Steamboy not being on streaming shows a certain dystopian look is being pushed for whatever reason. Just a buzzword. Sells well and doubles down on the forward looking progress thing. May make people scared of the future as much as it represents people that already are.
The real heads see the run Nyaueth Riam is on. We gonna talk about it for a lifetime.
Jet to the ‘jects
Which comes first? The deep dive in Cars lore or spinning Life Is a Highway
It’s inevitable that I’ll be the guy. Once I realized I always was, it’s way less stress trying to be him. I got the spirit.
Pop culture the new religion
I was outside with abstractions flying around my head about how blockchains work until I programmed a little tut. You can do that with most computer concepts unlike some other disciplines. Feynman having the kiddie lab was important. Kiddie labs important for “adults” too
The older I get, the more I recognize the value of team based activities. I like to keep a bit of a contrarian streak alive but it stands out when a set of people are locked into a shared end goal.
Atlanta is eating the world ❕

Curious to see Rabbit R1 abstract social media posting Rabbit’s angle as being the interface for the web for owners is a powerful vector for even more mainstream appeal “I have too many accounts to keep up with” is a straightforward problem to solve
Often high quality knowledge is removed from the knowledge loop by paywalls and siloed platforms This causes the masses to feed on lower quality knowledge that is more deeply entrenched in the knowledge loop Looks like endless memes but few rigorous theories and applications
Marcus Fraiser (Datpiff) should be a partner at a fund. You don’t have to put the VCs in Jordans
The misallocation of attention from being online and our ability to guide towards more fulfilling paths is slowly becoming mainstream https://worldaftercapital.gitbook.io/worldaftercapital/part-three/misallocation
This is already happening. As digital information is bound for further exponential growth with progress in generative models, we will land on new data types that command new physical interfaces.
Cheers to a real one, Dries. Felt it coming. I hope the retirement amps up other designers exploring themes in similar worlds. Going to miss him.
Railroads on the moon https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grumman-to-develop-concept-for-lunar-railroad
Old web culture emphasized sending links from around the open web. You can still see its legacies in some digital spaces
Online enough in youth to be open to many kinds of people, irl enough to not take online too serious in my daily
Doing research on the company distributing The Dream’s recent albums Music industry is so big. I’ve been being a more aware consumer so I can support companies that align with my values I like indies. Companies don’t need to compromise. They can care deeply too
I need @officialconcord to get the Target playlist deal. They have such a thoughtful lineup of artists.
The world’s shared R&D lab
Cities don’t belong to anyone but I was sad when the Jamaican spot was replaced with $ 18 chicken sandwiches 😪
Amazon becoming obsolete in our lifetime will be crazy to experience. The kids will be like “you used to buy things from strangers and wait 2 whole days?” https://news.stanford.edu/2024/03/13/high-speed-microscale-3d-printing/
Fit looking like a macaw and a toucan on a date
Watching closely federal applied research budget in the US. 2023 plan was $ 54.3B (+28% from 2022). https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47161?t
In the orbit of Brian Eno’s scenius or “culture” of the ‘10s. Here it’s referred to as “commons” with more direct examples of capital intensive industry https://hbr.org/2009/07/restoring-american-competitiveness
Innovation is context dependent. It’s to introduce something new for the first time. Pioneers barely can see they’ve done it before their works have driven them into a new context. Once again a beginner.
Make spatial computing onchain
She say everyone in her city is fake. I nod and save her as $ 3
Reading certain kinds and amounts of news probably isn’t good for you. I also know people don’t read/pay attention that much. It’s dope stuff happening around us on the regular that we should also be critical about. Knowing the balance of the two is key.
X is best positioned to create the product that sustainably incentivizes people to compete on adding new info to AI models that we all use. The revenue share and extended posts with Premium is already foundation for this model.
Knowing why you like things is the first step to knowing how to make them
I’m ok with working for people. My only focus is to remove all the noise between me and feedback on how well I’m doing. Really working for the people.
Negative signal to me when my peers are vying for nostalgia for a time or place they didn’t live. We may be overlooking our own opportunity to create moments as a new gen for the sake of acceptance by an older gen.
A dot can be so powerful Decimals are an easy example of practice and theory cross pollinating across time and space to help us see the world differently I bet we find someone even earlier than Giovanni Brachini finding them https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00473-2
All artists tell lies for a living
Cool meeting people that are in that tryhard judgy stage of calibrating to a new hobby you’re familiar with. At some point they hit a wall and notice it’s not that serious. And they figure out their own taste which donates to the continuous filter of the canon of that hobby.
