Please consult the apology form

Also good practical application of Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book!

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

Re-reading Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains of the Day and realizing there's some books you just need to read a review of before you start; otherwise, you just don't appreciate the message as much. Ishiguro's writing is so subtle that this is especially important.

@josephpalbanese Can I try it?

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

@perplexity_ai @AravSrinivas very small UI glitch I’ve noticed recently, otherwise awesome product and continuing to dominate my search activity

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

Just finished When Breath Becomes Air and every dimension of it was incredible

High protein writing at its finest

Technically true last year, except Stone was on LTIR. Barkov/Bob wrote history last night

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

This is the first year a team with a +$10M player will win the cup: Eichel for VGK or Barkov/Bob for FLA

Read the blog post when it first came out and totally agree! It’s a must-read; just bought the book recommended at the end for more info

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

After having read it, I can say this is probably the best book to explain how ChatGPT (and LLMs) work (written by Stephen Wolfram, who excels at explaining complex topics simply, so perhaps not a surprise)

There's also a blog post form for those wanting to read online.

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

Did Spotify update their fonts this week?

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

Less obvious on the first chart, tho still spikes around Jan of each year, annual bumps in net revenue clearly New Year’s resolutions.

Same idea as App Store top charts around holidays clear indicator of top presents

The meditation apps hype is gone

First downloads tanked (-70% vs 2020), then with a long lag. IAP revenue

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

Mostly just hopping on the @perplexity_ai bandwagon, but that last piece is why my Google use has plummeted.

Today marks the first year anniversary of the launch of https://t.co/2nWfr8KQ0j, launched on Dec 7, 2022. Lot of people ask me why we ended up being the best product in this category. If I had to pick one word: it is conviction. We believed world needed answers rather than links.

@albertwenger as an American Jew and ardent supporter of Israel, thank you for so coherently articulating the complexities of my feelings

@andruyeung 👋

Not surprising but also… just X without organic blogging?

It was so obvious that hacking the cold start problem by standardizing logins across the Meta experience wouldn’t convert to consistent usage by itself. Now, we have meta advertising threads on instagram haha

Hearing multiple reports that Disney and Charter Spectrum will reach a deal before tomorrow’s Monday Night Football kickoff on ESPN & ABC 🏈🏈🏈

Interested to see what terms looks like and who caved on the big issues if a deal is reached $DIS $CHTR

[Jonathan Edelstein @jnedelstein]

@benthompson loved your recent piece on ESPN (as I do all your work). I know you say read everything all the time, but any good articles / books to better understand the telecom space?
