I’ve struggled to understand why so many successful folks make bold, public predictions. Sure, there is glory in *building* the future, but predicting it? Eh. But I now think both building and predicting have a common cause: an unusual (and unjustified) level of self-confidence
A vacillate between thinking (1) “always on” ai wearables will fail because data curation is a human-only thing and (2) that they will succeed for the same reason scatterplots are better than aggregative visualizations
The universe as a network of rivers: This remarkable new map reveals how galaxies flow like water, following the pull of gravity across hundreds of millions of light years. astrobites.org/2024/04/23/tem…

The actual web is far more awe-inspiring and worthy of exploration than websim, but the most any single individual has seen of it is < 0.1% * When you explore IRL, you have maps (global nav) and a FOV (local nav). For the web, we have neither. PageRank is partly to blame,…

I’m less interested in which jobs we will automate with AI and more interested in which jobs will vanish entirely, because we recognize, upon seeing that they are automatable, that they have no value, and only seemed to have value because they required effort. Hoping we lean out!
I am a cultural heritage data science professional: df['printdateint'] = [int(np.mean([int(d.replace("s","")) + 1900 if i==1 else int(d.replace("s","")) for i,d in enumerate(item.split("-"))])) if len(item.split("-")) > 1 else int(item.replace("s","")) for item in df.printdate]
Damn ok just learned about @AREdotNA today. Feeling very out of the loop. Fascinating product and company.

@ConwayAnderson Good segue to @vikhyatk showing another of my favorite AI things, his awesome Moondream vision model. Moondream is small enough to run locally and powerful enough to do a lot of useful things. And he recently added bounding boxes!

This feels pretty silly but my main use case for llama3 is that it lets me maintain my normal policy of keeping wifi off when in focused work mode. GPT-4 was a leading problem there. Sometimes I still need its higher capacity of course but not as often as I’d thought!

@DamonCrockett it seems to me that this also happens because people quickly forget these days. rarely does something from the past come up and say, 'look, you were wrong.' it happens, but not very often.
@DamonCrockett A prediction is one kind of idea. It's usually harmless to tell people about other ideas that occur to you. Why should one have to conceal this type?
Alright I think I’m done with alcohol. For years I’d have a drink or two every night. A month ago stopped drinking any alcohol. Then last night had some beer. I’m not hungover, I’m not tired, but something about alcohol makes me feel tense and anxious the next day.
