I haven't used Twitter (sigh)/X for more than 1.5yrs, so it's time to announce I'm probably not coming back. Bye Twitter, it's been fun!👋

I'm mostly on LI these days, so feel free to follow me there and if we know each other in person, let's connect too

@HonzaTmn @bsonefeld @henry_daggett @jeremydizon Dammit, can't make it live. Will it be recorded? 🙏

Like every year, I donated to @Wikimedia Foundation.

Nonprofit organizations of this kind will become more important than ever in the coming years*, to ensure that the world has free access to independent, fact-checked, and unbiased information.

*Due to the rise of #AI tools

Loved this framework for turning a presentation’s narrative into its deliverables - What to show on the slides, what to say, and what to send later as a handout. 👏👏👏

"Astrophysics will become more and more, the history of what people do."

🤯 Mindblowing. The Tim Ferris Show Ep.#662 with @naval and @DavidDeutschOxf
Inevitability of Artificial General Intelligence, quantum computing, foundations of true knowledge...

@amrancz + extensibility, and bulk actions

Hello Seattle 👋

When I check into a hotel I usually ask for a room “in one of the top floors”. It doesn’t always work out, but this time it did 👌

I loved reading the iPhone keyboard UI case study recounted in Ken Kocienda’s excellent book Creative Selection.

So I jotted down some reflections on what helped the team unlock a creative breakthrough back then.

We were just geeking out with @tvrdek over his sophisticated Airtable setup for research analysis.
Back in the day, it would take hours to slice the data by persona vs. surface area vs. insight theme.
Now it's done in 3 clicks. What a time to be alive! 🥳

@agilek Ultimately it seems like an optimization of a local maxima though. The plastic (assuming it is) bottle shouldn't exist in the first place, and a better systemic solution should be explored.

[Jan Srutek @JanSru]

@agilek Looks like an improvement for the users’ experience. Depends if it’s also equally easy to manufacture (costs the same)

@andybudd And let’s add to the list that on Slack there are inboxes within inboxes too! (threads within channels) 😅

Is your Safari browser doing the same?

- type "maps" in address bar and Top Hits are 1. Apple Maps, 2. Google Maps
- press down arrow key to select Google Maps
- it automatically moves up to Apple Maps
- when you immediately/automatically press Enter you land on Apple Maps 🙈

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local.

The chart shows why: transport tends to account for only a small share of greenhouse gas emissions — the differences between different food choices are much larger.

[Jan Srutek @JanSru]

Amazing!
Maybe one day we’ll also be able to decipher some of the ancient scripts, e.g. the Minoan civilization Linear A.

How long until the visual/graphic art industry ceases to exist? (In the same way a poetry industry doesn't really exist.)

Are we surprised that OpenIA's CrunchBase Rank is currently 2? (Right after Google at position 1)

Also I discovered a new genre “Alternativ eRock” 🤘

[Jan Srutek @JanSru]

Always full of surprises.

Artists because:
1. I sometimes play it while working
2. Top Gun 2
3. I discovered Josh Homme’s teenage band
4. our Eng Manager played it to us during a YouTube party in Seattle in April
5. I watched the recording of “Sober” from 1993 Reading festival
