Collecting

I use this website to collect, and eventually syndicate, my thoughts and interesting links.

  1. Time: a non-renewable resource

    @apolaine@pkm.social 100% this! I’ve always loved the idea of flipping the power dynamic of a job interview. I’ve often told people asking for career advice that “A job interview is as much about you deciding whether they are the right match for you”. Time as a non-renewable resource is brilliant framing!

  2. Musk: Eat our own poop!

    Musk:

    The cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted in AI training. That happened basically last year.

    The only way to then supplement that is with synthetic data where … it will sort of write an essay or come up with a thesis and then will grade itself and … go through this process of self-learning.

    Also Musk:

    The cumulative sum of sustenance has been exhausted in binge eating. That happened basically today.

    The only way to then supplement that is with human faeces where … it will sort of resemble chocolate ice cream or be the next McDonald’s and then will digest itself and … go through this process of self-nourishment.

  3. Pave the cowpaths

    Interesting to see Monzo releasing fully-fledged saving products within their app based on user-generated IFTTT recipes using their API. Leveraging interoperability as a way to innovate is a smart move. This https://ifttt.com/applets/GutUrxFv-take-on-the-1p-savings-challenge has become this https://monzo.com/features/1p-saving-challenge

  4. Watching Async: How We Built the World Wide Web in Five Days

    Watching @rem@front-end.social and @adactio@mastodon.social walk us through building the World Wide Web in five days, from the comfort of my own home. We’ve come a long way!
