A little typo once in a while
May spark a frown or a smile;
Let's all gladly reconcile
To the keyboard's woolly wile.

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

The defeat of the Republicans is also a defeat of the tech accelerationist ideology: the silicon valley "disruptor" ethos of "Move Fast & Break Things."
When the "things" are communities, the environment & people's livelihoods, those broken people fight back.

“My experience is, you go talk to kindergarten kids or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts. And they ask deep questions.

‘What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green?’

These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them.

You go talk to 12th grade students and there’s none of that. They’ve become leaden and incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade and it’s not just puberty.”

- Carl Sagan

Curiosity is a superpower

Also knowing what you really UNDERSTAND and where you only know the vocabulary and jargon

I always told my research analysts never to use a formula where they did not know the derivation and not to use a model where they could not tell me the assumptions and limitations. Without that you do not understand what that model can do and where it will fail.

China is absolutely insane. As if a pork glut weren’t enough, now it has an electricity glut too…

Just think about how insane this sentence sounds: “Data centers are the solution to electricity oversupply.”

A new filing tonight: "The Justice Department argued that President Donald Trump should be allowed to reinstate his White House ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico in a court filing late Friday..." https://t.co/whBYsJZ6CJ

If AI is “inevitable,” it is neither market forces nor the immutable tides of progress making it so. The tech oligarchs, in other words, are doing economic planning, organized by and serving particular financial interests.

Thanks @PCITweets

The FIR should be withdrawn. Journalism is not a crime

News coverage of a poll that doesn't favor a political party is not a license to meddle in an election through intimidation.

Broadcasters should take note. Do not let a sad and desperate attempt to punish accurate reporting become an excuse for censorship.

The increasing number of serious health conditions among people below sixty should urge us to rethink the way we live. Prevention of illness does not have to start after our visits to the hospital become frequent.

It is 7 years after his last visit to India, and 6 years after the Galwan Valley confrontation, that Chinese President Xi Jinping is coming to New Delhi. This is a good time now to take bilateral bonhomies ahead. #ChinaIndia #BRICSSummit @anandstdas

In his book ‘Happiness Is A Skill’, Aditya Chopra reframes ambition. He doesn't ask us to abandon responsibility or retreat from modern life. Instead, he argues for proportion & shows how we can achieve it, making the book worth a read or two. @anandstdas

Messi is a legend and will remain one. This FIFA World Cup final match had Messi playing in it, but there was no Messi magic in it. He just did not run enough on the field; he just walked and watched, keeping his signature footwork chained. Sad.
Bien hecho, España.

@kris_sg "Training error" is, I'm afraid, too simplistic a way to explain this massive anomaly.
