Grad school application a decade ago... never change young PAtwater! "I have become convinced, however, that those zany 90’s cybervisions were not wrong so much as premature and that the deep application of these tools to public problems will change, well, everything."

Is there a good ai tool to search for the gist of a specific cast from a specific user? Like please pull up every thing that VGR has said on AI and crypto being evil twins or something like that

AI strengths: integration, insight from large data piles, quick iteration and smart enough AI weaknesses: actual 0-1 style innovation I have been mulling how crypto offers an evil twin to AI and a ledger to record various little new things

I spend a lot of time pondering the parable of potholes and how its absurdly obvious that there's better solutions to map street quality and yet we still do windshield surveys. We = default city operations around the US

Excellent and apropos wise words in this spirit: "The secretary said, ``Of course I can't help him; I don't get his mail. He won't give me the stuff to log in; I don't know where he puts it on the floor. Of course I can't help him.'' So I went to him and said, ``Look, if you adopt the present method and do what you can do single-handedly, you can go just that far and no farther than you can do single-handedly. If you will learn to work with the system, you can go as far as the system will support you.'' And, he never went any further. He had his personality defect of wanting total control and was not willing to recognize that you need the support of the system." https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html

Sometimes I get emails in my dayjob that are so delightfully reminiscent of MacroData Refinement I can't help but smile. A younger, more brash version of myself would get angry at the inanity of multiple requests for the same simple information that HR already has access to. Now I see it as an opportunity to understand the system and how it might work better. Every problem is the seed of a solution

Nice list of great datasets that are under threat. One example that's symbolically near and dear to my heart: "NOAA’s ARGO fleet of drifting buoys: Innovators in the autonomous shipping industry depend on NOAA data such as that collected by the Argo Fleet of drifting buoys – an international collaboration that measures global ocean conditions. These detailed data train AI algorithms to find the safest and most fuel-efficient ocean routes." https://essentialdata.us/getinvolved.html

How quaint... "The Congress shall have Power... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; To provide and maintain a Navy"

One super simple improvement that would be very useful is showing the dates that scheduled posts are set to go out on in a clean way. Right now it's not clear and a bit of a tax on one's memory

@rithikha regarding your call for for more specific, actionable speculative nonfiction, here is one riff. I'd be curious to your thoughts and also am looking for folks to mess around this forge protocol
