I'm a curious engineer who is always looking for new problems to solve, things to learn, and ideas to ponder. Into AI, Bio, Robotics, Neuroscience, Startups

What’s the best hitch-mounted bike rack for a 2026 Tesla Model Y that’s compatible with FSD?

[David Senra @davidsenra]

Ugly is a choice.

@lulumeservey on why we should put effort into making beautiful things again:

“People are allowed to care about objectively beautiful things.

We had the better part of a decade where we had to take this aesthetic, relativistic view that everything is beautiful in someone eyes.

That this piece of art that is clearly trash is just as beautiful as one made by the great masters.

Or somebody who is clearly unhealthy is just as beautiful as someone who takes really good care of themselves.

People are allowed to say a beautiful building is worth creating and a beautiful website is worth creating.

This is what Joe Gebbia and the National Design Studio team are doing. They’re saying, "We believe that a more beautiful experience on the internet reflect the dignity of being an American citizen, and that is what we want. So we're going to put in effort and talent to go make that for you because it's worth something. We're not going to pretend that a website has to be ugly."

Anything big or small or glamorous or pedestrian, like a simple government website, can (and should) be made more beautiful.

And when it is, people appreciate it so much more because we do have this inherent yearning for beauty.“

@DavidSHolz the best aesthetics I've seen. It looks like a glimpse into a future that is infinitely exciting. I really hope the technology works. Scanning deep tissue in the 100 MHz regime is extremely noisy, and it would be an incredible achievement if it works reliably

Being built as we speak

I just realized once more that by the end of this decade, autonomous robots will be roaming among us, seamlessly connected to 5G internet through satellites. It’s almost unimaginable while I remain absorbed in the mundane routines of daily life.

@hamptonism @grok what's the song name?

[John Mistreanu @MistreanuIonut]

@elonmusk Can you improve the recommendations to better fine-tune the type of content we want to see? We’re starting to lose the people who actually bring value to this platform. Otherwise, it won’t be the town square of ideas for much longer (at least not for science and engineering)

[François Chollet @fchollet]

Twitter used to be my favorite place on the Internet. I've derived enormous value from it in the past 16 years.

Not true anymore. Most of the people I enjoyed reading have left. My feed, which used to feature art and science and technology and humor, has become constant political propaganda -- on the opposite side of the Enlightenment values I believe in. (I like the rule of law, free speech, free markets, and democracy. I like science and reject obscurantism. I can see that Putin is a dictator, not a genius role model, and that it is Russia that is invading Ukraine, not the other way around.)

I have been coming here less and less as a result -- it only brings me negative emotions. I never thought that would be possible, but I might eventually stop coming altogether.

NEW STUDY: RNA knots called “quadruplexes” accumulate during aging and correlate with Alzheimer’s disease severity. Authors speculate they’re a cause of neurodegeneration

Cool if true 😎

Europe has no choice but to re-arm itself, and do it fast.

Ukraine’s reliable allies are the EU, UK, Norway and Canada.

US - Europe alliance never looked so fragile in 80 years - esp now that the US administration treats Russia more of an ally than Ukraine.

A seismic change

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

Yesterday was the inflection point: being based is now more cringe than being woke.

Blindly agreeing with everything because it’s on your team actually makes you part of the problem.

If you can’t name one thing you don’t like about your side’s platform, you are no different than a bot and you are more concerned with ego than truth.

Great to see informed analysts doing their job and speaking freely on public TV without interference

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

Brilliant! We need more jobs like this

Entrepreneurship is gonna look a lot more like art than business because the only moat left will be taste, not technicality. The role of art has always been to detect the signs of cultural change—artists find creative arbitrages, saying what people think before they realize it themselves. So the future of consumer products depends on how well you can detect, define, and create what people want before they know it. Traditional market research might be less useful because most people don’t know/can’t articulate what they want—it’s up to the artistically intuitive and psychologically inclined thinkers to find the local religion or patterns of belief and desire in a given market.
