an underrated favorite feeling: when you find a new writer that you love and realize they have a very deep catalogue that will nourish you for years

yeah yeah @WillManidis is on a generational essay run but we’re underpricing his contribution of aesthetically saving us from eye-gouge-worthy-AI-essay-cover-image-slop

Have been building a graph like this for everything I’ve read, but using what now look like lesser tools. Want this version of memory…
Daniel Park@danifesto

I’ll share a small part of pickle.com Back in med school, I became obsessed with augmenting memory and dreamed of a Notion or Obsidian that completes itself. Today, we’ve built something close. My self-awareness is sharper and everything feels connected. I genuinely believe AI does not replace humans. It amplifies us. Huge respect to our engineers and designers who made this crazy thing real. Bubbles are the episodic units of my life that the system interprets from my raw data. Clouds are the system’s questions, its hypotheses about who I am. When I answer a cloud, it becomes a bubble again. There is so much personal data that I cannot fully demo it. Wish I could. This system understands me more deeply than anyone. Want to try it? Retweet and comment “memory.” I’ll DM you an access code to skip the waitlist.

wrote a new post, the gentle singularity. realized it may be the last one like this i write with no AI help at all. (proud to have written "From a relativistic perspective, the singularity happens bit by bit, and the merge happens slowly" the old-fashioned way)

@simonsarris We knew our kid was allergic to egg. Asked pediatrician about whether kid should get a certain vaccine, given it had egg protein. She wasn’t aware of the ingredients and shut down any questioning about it. Incredibly disappointing + eye opening

when Cliff throws out “Alabama” as an example location in a Carvana story and is mentally searching for a city name, and @patrick_oshag nonchalantly hits him with “Mobile” …in my head i dapped up Patrick
Patrick OShaughnessy@patrick_oshag

Cliff Sosin has run one of the most interesting portfolios in public markets—nearly $2B concentrated in just a few companies, which he always knows better than anyone. Over many years, I’ve enjoyed conversations with him on a million topics, and finally convinced him to talk about investing with me for everyone to hear. We start talking about investing overall, and then spend a large part of the conversation hearing his side of the Carvana investing story—one for the ages.

All these years I thought I was kind of falling behind by focusing on honing my writing skill (relative to applied design, analytics, engineering...) but articulation and legibility increasingly feel like superpowers in a world where I can vibe code

I am writing about the Eagles and what they mean to the city of Philadelphia in tomorrow's Weekly Dose of Optimism. And I, a grown man, am tearing up writing it. Every week I cover things like new treatments that will save millions of lives or AI that will totally transform the way we live or leaders that want to reshape the world. Never shed a tear. Sports just hit different. Go Birds.

@packyM It’s been an amazing ride. One day there was basically no communication with him and now he writes us emails and poems and types in conversation It’s very clear to me that he taps into some energy/wavelength/aspect of consciousness that is not readily available to the rest of us

I started listening to @TelepathyTapes on @packyM’s recommendation The observations are mind blowing and it’s going to open minds to new ways of thinking about consciousness. But the validation it gives to people with autism who have these gifts is very special…
