The outcome of design is a compromise.

a world of more strange little ventures is a more beautiful world
Are these indie businesses earning huge money? Of course not. But when the rules of the game (in zoning, licensing, health, education, etc) aren't stacked against the little guy trying to do their own thing anymore, people don't mind. It's a good life, one we should stop banning.

Convinced a university to scan Facebooks little red book on a $150k archival scanner The best PDF’s I could find were @amasad’s and a remastered version that were both low quality Reply if you’d like me to send you the link when it’s ready - should be the highest quality publicly available version to ever exist

Dirigiendo una plantilla aprendes muchas cosas. Liderar es escuchar a todos, sí, pero también tomar decisiones firmes y comunicarlas claramente. El consenso es deseable, la unidad es imprescindible. Disagree and commit.
Replying to @JaimeObregon
🤔 "En mi empresa obligué a todos a usar git." 🚩 Situación similar con más con mas de 6k, la manifestación de resistencia al cambio asi impuesto es terrible. Gracias por los tips, las múltiples ventajas demostradas pueden ayudar a su adopción sin imposición.

Of course LLM performance has "hit a wall" - language is so much more than representing the statistical patterns between different words and generating those patterns in response to a prompt. E.g. see Jakobson's 6 functions of language:

Una mañana, el anciano señor Maas se despertó en su casa notando algo raro. Como si las cosas no encajasen totalmente. No sabía que TODO LO QUE LE RODEABA ERA FALSO: su casa, su calle, el supermercado Y LA MAYORÍA DE SUS VECINOS. En #LaBrasaTorrijos, Villa Demencia. 🧵👇

if you work in technology, history is asking you a question right now: are you building technology for freedom or technology for control?

Hoy estamos muy contentos en Cruz más Cruz y @RUBIOYDELAMO porque nos hemos enterado de que el presupuesto final del diseño de la Agencia Espacial Española, encargado a dedo, ha sido DIEZ VECES MAS QUE LO QUE HEMOS COBRADO los ganadores del concurso. graffica.info/el-coste-del-n…

In The Valley of Gods is my personal Half-Life 3
Matthew Wilde, the Valve developer behind the water shader for Counter-Strike 2, has shared a rare gameplay footage. It shows the water technology that was tested for In The Valley of Gods before Valve acquired the company Campo Santo. Team shelved the game not so long after joining Valve to shift resources to other projects, one of which was Half-Life: Alyx.

Really interesting result of Twitter's thumbnail compression here: when you see this tweet on your timeline, a lot of the lines appear green; when you expand the tweet, there are fewer; and when you expand the image itself, you discover that there are no green lines at all
The first 1,000 numbers. Every yellow line represents a prime number.

Ya es público. En febrero formaré durante 20 horas a quien lo desee en aplicación de estudios de futuros a estrategia. Pista: no puedes adivinar el futuro, pero con leer el partido un poco mejor que tus competidores, ya juegas con ventaja. La conciencia situacional se entrena.
¡Nuevos profe en Strategic Foresight!⚡ @cesarastudillo, un clásico del diseño estratégico y experto en aplicar el Pensamiento de Futuros en la acción estratégica de las organizaciones, estará facilitando el taller de 20 horas que comienza en febrero 🔗 bit.ly/int-strategic-foresig…

Put your work on arXiv and release 100% of your code/data/Mathematica notebooks/etc., packaged up in such a way that *anyone* can reproduce all of your results in a single click. Call out people who don’t. That’s what peer review should look like in the 21st century.
Academic journals are nothing but a nuisance for theoretical work and should be a thing of the past
