@phil_fradkin Congrats again. And you’ve inspired me to get an ear pricing one day.

I wrote a little reflection after my PhD since it would be a shame not to commemorate 5 years of life I. A PhD committee meeting is sort of like a roast session with the best intentions II. I was able to witness two paradigm shifts (1) FMs (2) LLMs III. Mismatch between the training objectives and the biology IV. Our lunchtime conversations about devaluation of intellectual labor took on a more anxious tone V. During periods of upheaval good scientists need to do two things

@FredrikHjelm4 And right now USA is lobbying to include PE and more exotic investments in retirement funds. The capital gap keeps widening.

Swedish pension funds invest in American funds that fly to Stockholm to lead rounds in Swedish startups The round-trips (business or first class, ofc) fees alone could fund an early company Our pension capital, managed in Boston, taking 2-and-20, to back Spotifys next competitor Meanwhile top Swedish funds are sitting right here, with better founder networks, better sector knowledge, and better European exit infrastructure I get it. The Napa Valley LP meeting is nice. But that’s not a capital allocation strategy Sweden produces more tech unicorns per capita than almost anywhere on earth. Our funds can lead most of those rounds. They’ve been doing it for 20 years Is this actually about returns, or is it about someone on an investment committee wanting a reason to fly to the West Coast?

@signulll I suspect paywalling versus letting information be free is a pendulum swinging between the spectrum. Both could work?

most founders & ppl generally always ponder what if big company does this! what if they build a competitor? imho the more interesting question is “what can openai no longer do?” disclaimer: i’m starting to stress test the subscription stuff on x. some of the content will be paid, but most of it still free. i enjoy pushing the limits of internet monetization & creator models most often just to learn the dynamics at play. i never wanna be the dude who just talks about stuff but never *actually* uses it.

@qualiascript Noooo first one must check for GCD one xd

solving a fun math equations quiz but it turns out they're Diophantine equations that put together break RSA

@mradamjafer @voitechnology The future pivot to warehouse /data center automation, completing the circle and honoring the dead spirit of Segway will be crazy.

@voitechnology is winning big, founder-led, strong management, focus on the right things. No stopping them.

@HenrikTaro Dunno if this helps lawyers but for lawyers instead what about SU student lawyer hackathons. Adobe Photoshop method , give away to students for free to lock in adoption later.

@thinkingshivers You deserve it after today’s puzzle.

dreamt i became a billionaire after inventing an improved version of forecasting called "fivecasting"

@thinkingshivers Negative should be simply a hole or something non fruity like.

btw, hypothetically, if you were going to add a "cherry... but better" item and a "cherry... but negative value" item, what would you make them? Like what fruit is better than cherries? Lemons??? I am at a complete loss. Maybe it should be a stack of money? Horse shampoo?

Tomorrow's enclose dot horse puzzle will be a variation of a prior puzzle. This isn't something I'm planning on often--I think people deserve original, thoughtful puzzles every day--but the original version of this daily was published with the wrong number of walls. Oops.

@thinkingshivers @TomEATO07679097 Please not gold stuff. Keep your vibe anti clash of clans lol

@TomEATO07679097 This honestly might be best. Loads of games do "golden version of thing is better" so its pretty intuitive.

Each child actually adds far more than this, as we don’t relate merely to other individuals—we also relate to the emergent dynamics between those individuals. The simplest example of this emerges when moving from dyad to triad: Say you’re a husband and you have a child. Now you’re a husband, a father, *and* in relation with the mother-child dyad. This scales not in proportion to undirected edge relations, but *combinatorially* with the set of all possible familial subsets. In other words, family dynamics grow and evolve as *hypergraphs*.

@mat85339 @robinhanson There are lessons here. For sure.

@robinhanson This reinforces my prior that much/most of the things people say they like or believe are actually nothing but a carefully crafted set of performances designed to audition for higher rungs on their social ladders.

Years ago a NYC based software firm ran some prediction markets, hoping in part to find & promote "diamonds in the rough" employees who predict especially well. They did find such, but then said "Oh, not them"; such folks didn't have the polish & style they wanted.

@nstlgiaxpress Common projects patina. (By sun not dirt)

I want to make a list of all the things that are deeply millennial but still considered aesthetically nice e.g. Listening to Peggy Gou Semi-expensive bathroom products that are properly branded as luxury products (e.g. Selahatin Toothtpaste) Dinner party music bands (e.g. Slow Club, LCD Soundsystem, Rhye) Listening to @ThrowingFits Baggu Alexa Chung outfit inspo (but like, not all the time) Knowing how to use uTorrent or Terminal/Cmd Prompt Being a person under 40 owning a BMW E34 5 Series The Browser Company Having an office at WSA Any private members club Smol plates/natty wine/East London fings. The show You're The Worst and its contemporaries Supper Clubs Having seen Frank Ocean live in concert

@nstlgiaxpress I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the extra boost to second hand. I think this will just keep growing

The recent SSENSE has made me wonder about the consequences to fashion consumption after the golden era of luxury e-commerce. Whatever you might have thought of SSENSE's business model, they were a godsend for people that don't live in fashion capitals, and needed or wanted access to interesting clothes. Maybe we will see many 'Colettes' pop-up? I hope so. Two immediate consequences I'm thinking about: 1.) In the absence of easily available fashion aggregators (srs, what is left standing? MyTheresa?), fashion and style becomes much more geo-specific. It doesn't matter as much what the internet is saying if your style is limited by what is available near you. 2.) Physical experience becomes more important. This has been talked about incessantly so I won't dive into it. But I think SSENSE as much as it was a retailer, was also an online cultural touchpoint for fashion. We all have our own jokes about 50 pages deep on the sale. Perhaps local stores become the tentpoles of their local community. If, however, interacting with cheugy Afterpay Australian Fashion Week vibes become mandatory to participate/purchase interesting pants in Australia, I will riot.

@DeltaClimbs Please. Cooking videos soon. 🙏

Goddamn I have never been as locked in as I am now Started 10 years ago to get exactly where I am now Everything I thought was a setback or failure Was simply priming me to know how to save the West

@troysimpson @christoaivalis Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws

@christoaivalis It seems reasonable to assume they wouldn't illegally strike

This is HUGE: The Air Canada CEO just admitted on TV that he had no plan except for his SECRET BACKROOM DEAL WITH CARNEY to bust the strike using Section 107 He and Carney assumed workers would roll over They assumed wrong

@nstlgiaxpress Yeah that’s a good one

@Kyle10enn honestly, you could map this to pants widths so easily

moods are a flat circle. I feel like recently things are getting worse still but we're past grief and into acceptance.....wdyt?

@nstlgiaxpress I guess because it is interesting but only had chronological examples of recent past. Would be cool to put things like matcha late/soho house/ Mmm paint gatts etc of older time references.

im surprised there's this many views but nobody has anything to say about it...

@jeff_weinstein @gauravvohra I think this is what LinkedIn premium in mail is trying to be. Which I guess is a way to filter out stuff.

@gauravvohra did yall ever toy with this idea?

[request for startup] EmailPay 📧💲 Is there an email client, or some intermediate layer, where I can charge $0.01, or custom amount, for senders outside of my contacts to reach my precious inbox? If not, anyone want to build it? (Happy to help you with money part via @stripe.)

Today @arcinstitute released the first version STATE, a virtual cell model. I wrote up a short blog post about it. You can check it out here: arcinstitute.org/news/virtual-c….
