9. The worst Apple app? Mail.

It's like they haven't updated the core experience since 2007.

Terrible at threading conversations, search is unreliable, and the composer feels dated.

This is why Superhuman can charge $30/month and people gladly pay.

Why France could implode.
This is Germany - the feedback loop of incentives to work to create wealth where a portion pays for a welfare state (a good thing) doesn't work anymore and it's getting worse, with this specific example. But now, let's compare it with France.

LLM are unable to stop making things up, based on what *would* make sense. This is STRUCTURAL owing to the probabilistic construction.

ChatGPT kept confabulating around an obscure short story by G. Greene, because there was not enough information on the web & it is taking a max likeliood approach.

ChatGPT actually proves that G. Greene is a great novelist because he is not a recombination of what would make sense.

PRINCIPIA is the next book (before ENTROPY).
I've spent the last year fighting the conspiracy cluster (Covid denying, great resetting Jan 6xers, pseudolibertarian-yet- Putinist cryptoheads).
Now, time to focus on the pickleheads on the "left".

This is the format.

Good morning to everyone except the boomers who shipped all the Western World's metal and chemical processing capabilities to China in the early 2000s because McKinsey told them it would make stonks go up.

I did some fun reporting last week in the Bay Area, checking out companies making meat and dairy products without animals. I ate some of the future of food. Here’s a thread with some of the cool stuff I got to try! 1

Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming

Many are no getting it.
I am not in support of "the establishment"; I am a staunch supporter of the system. And the system wants the establishment under continuous pressure, like firms in a competitive market.
The Western system is inherently self-correcting.
Help preserve it!

@ole_b_peters Cluld we consider things like:

a) individuals change in income compared to themselves 5,10,x years ago or their parents.

b) binary "up/down" metric which is measured on a log scale to "unskew" the impact of a rich person 2x their income.

c) what else?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

In England, people drive pickup trucks when they need to carry the types of loads they're suited for. But no one drives a pickup truck as a fashion statement. That would seem a very strange idea, like driving a tractor as a fashion statement.

@ole_b_peters Ok.

Maybe it is about the difference in long- vs short-term systems/phenomena as we as the conflict which can exist between something less vital but important in the short term va something more vital and important in the long term.

Lots of folks have trouble remembering what a p-value is so let me explain with the help of a visual aid.

The p-value is the probability that this package would be as 🍆 -shaped (or even more so) if it did *not* contain the thing that we’re all thinking is in there.

One chart that shows a key to the US economy's huge innovative advantage over other nations. It shows the global flows of inventors into and out of various countries from 2000-2010. What this looks like from 2020-2030 will shape the future world economy. https://t.co/i4mRfct3ls

In today's world, positive cash-flow matters & surviving requires out maneuvering your competitors. You need teammates that are ready to roll up their sleeves & get to work. Sadly, we may have conditioned a contingent of employees in a way that is incongruent with this mindset.

[Robert J Frey @financequant]

Musk’s wealth is about $600 per capita; not enough to fix much. US gov debt is $90,000 per capita. Also Musk’s wealth is not a pile of cash in the basement. Liquidating his wealth wouldn’t realize current valuations and would destroy two companies representing key technologies.

Did someone say ergodicity?
