The Paradigms Research Group meets weekly in Toronto to read seminal papers together in silence, then hold a careful discussion.
Next quarter we are starting a research project looking at the relationship between Religion and Work.
We want to understand: What are our current ideas about work? Do these have anything to do with religion? Can we treat our work religiously? Should we?
There are a very limited number of spots for new members — but if you are interested in taking up a serious reading project with an aim of personal and societal transformation we would encourage you to sign up at the link below.
All backgrounds are welcome.

Toronto friends: come to this next Wednesday!
The Toronto Society@_torontosociety
Next Wednesday is the last lecture of Season Three of The Viaduct Magic Words and How to Use Them by @Alex_Danco What if there really are magic words? Words that, if spoken at the right moment, in the right way, could bend reality to reshape the way money, laws, power, relationships, and even the physical world move around you? In this talk, Alex Danco will show that these magic words are hiding in plain sight and explain how you, too, could become such a magician. Over the last decade Alex Danco has developed a cult following writing about products, technology, investing, culture, and startups from a lens that blends investing analysis, media theory, post-modernism, and previously undiscovered a-ha moments. His work is loved for its insight, charm, and wit. Today, he is the Editor at Large at a16z. Previously, he was a product director at Shopify. 🎟️ Tickets and more information at the link below.

Lots of people like to interpret this chart as “government regulation bad, free market good”
But it’s really a story about Baumol’s cost disease and manufactured goods vs labor-intensive services

I went to Walmart today and saw that they are selling 65 inch TVs for $300. Why is it the only thing that comes down in price over time is a complex piece of hardware yet a hamburger triples in that time.

@ryolu_ I like Alan Kay’s design recipe:
1) make structures that can do the hardest thing
2) make it simple to do simple things, using the same structures

I'm currently making a kind of dating?/meetup? site which I just deployed. It's to help people find people.
Right now, if you pay $12 you can place a pin on the map. A little later you can write a bio and have a link to your site. Don't put your pin at your house!

My hope is that LLMs increase the quality of our work in this industry more than the quantity.

We traded ambition for caution. It’s time to reverse it. The stars are still waiting for us.

“In rowing, you’ve got to hold the oar with some firmness in order to get a solid pull; hold it too tightly, though, and you can blow the race (or even get thrown overboard) if the blade catches in the water on the recovery stroke. Elite rowers are less likely to ‘catch a crab’, as they say, but they’re also trained to release the oar quickly when it happens, enabling them to reset and get back in the game quickly.
“The ideal grip is tight enough to stay in control but loose enough to let go,” Duncan explains.”

Graham’s concept of “grip” quite literally changed my life.

Today, we are releasing our written profile of @GrahamDuncanNYC free to all Graham is one of the most interesting people I’ve met, and one of my favorite people, period His investing career is singular, so the lessons detailed here are unique—especially “source” Enjoy!

I really like the way "Why Programs Fail" book frames this:
- A defect is a programming error.
- The defect can become infectious, putting unrelated components in bad state.
- Software fails when there's critical bad state.
Assertions are a great way to contain the infections.
Sebastian Aaltonen@SebAaltonen
Asserts are a double-edged sword. One should only use asserts for code bugs, never for data. Data should be validated at load/receive time, before inserted into runtime data structures. Error handling should not be in the low level processing/transform code.
