People who complain about the intensity of trolling on bluesky never experienced the early days of twitter. When people go overboard, just block them. They magically disappear from your universe, no harm, no fuss.

This guy draws attention right up to the salient points that need to be made.
Most people think trade is “cars for wine.” But the moment you realize that trade is mostly in intermediate goods—stuff like steel, or aluminum—your whole perspective changes. Tariffs aren’t taxes on “them.” They’re taxes on your own country's production line.

Currently experimenting with chatGPT as my default search on Safari in iPad. Able to set it that way for just my personal profile. My observation is that you’ve never been able to “just trust” what comes back in search results, but this seems like a better start than what I get with Google.

I generally think Apple Intelligence is on its way to being good enough. If you want more, I think you need to use a cloud-based service.

I'm experimenting with using Kagi.com as my main search engine. What I like is that I get higher quality results though perhaps less tailored to me. Those higher quality results can then be used to create DRAMATICALLY better AI summaries.

A couple of thoughts on non-reasoning AI models:
1. Summarizing (a form of pattern matching) works extremely well.
2. If you can translate categorizing to a pattern matching exercise, that also works well.

My first presidential election was 1980. I was an angry young man and voted third party. It was only later that I came to hold him as a model. RIP.

By far the biggest strength of bluesky is the amount of random novelty on the platform. The trending topics and feeds are wowza.

Once a network reaches a certain scale there is a percentage of folks on it who are there because they are so unpleasant, both off-line and online, that this is the only place left where they can still find people to needle.

I remember thinking to myself, “This is all you need to live the American dream” after driving up to a California store in 1979 where you could gas up your car and buy an uzi with a fifth of crown royal. Only in 2024 is it getting to be an opportunity for everyone.
Candy, ice and lottery tickets have long been impulse items sold at checkouts in American grocery stores. Now bullets are joining the list of merchandise peddled to consumers as they exit at a growing number of stores around the country.

Vaccines are really good. Plus, you should look to data when you make decisions. It’s not about removing uncertainty, which is impossible. It’s about making the (very high) percentage play.
