13: Gemini

Of course. It is very good at making things up. Might be the better use case actually.

I had a very fruitful discussion with Nepal's Member of Parliament Dr. CK Raut @drckraut today about the status and opportunities of the IT industry in Nepal. I reiterated that Nepal needs to overhaul its higher education system and rewrite its company laws to encourage global IT… pic.twitter.com/Xz353wBjbi

What... Are you 48?

Yeah, I chuckle while thinking:
F*ck, I'm getting old.

When I was younger, I only cared about that next shiny object.

I firmly believe time was on my hands.
And in a way, it was.

But now that I'm older, I realise the clock is ticking.
And that's a good…

We bought this piece of land in Nov 2020 for $1,250,000 and built a self storage facility.

When it stabilizes, it'll be worth $26,000,000 - $29,000,000.

Here's what went into this deal: pic.twitter.com/2wATTrQkOA

Gulag. Many Western leaders & media don’t want to talk about Russia's ongoing crimes against humanity because then they would be forced to acknowledge that they were happening for 8 years, since 2014, when they were still pals & partners with Putin. https://t.co/oFNjBeiJqF

I was in an Tesla Uber today and felt a little sick. Entirely separately my wife texted me she was in a Tesla Uber and literally got out a half mile early because she felt sick.

The abrupt acceleration and braking (with no sound cues) seems to mess with human bodies.

13: Tap Water

'Forever chemicals' invade tap water 45% of U.S. tap water includes "forever chemicals." Also known as PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substance, they're used in everyday products such as fast-food containers, dental floss and shampoo because of their oil-proof, waterproof, heat-resistant and stain-resistant properties. However, they've also been linked to health issues like cancer and reduced fertility. Americans living in urban areas are more likely to have tap water with traces of PFAS than those in rural areas .

Conceptual Blending via Claude 2 is next level. Look how it combines RheoMode and Symmetry Breaking. A human may need a while to conjure up these examples:

Breaking subject-verb-object linguistic structure symmetry with fluid verbs (levate, vidate).

I was recently struck by a realization:

The people I read books about are very rarely the people I would ever want to trade lives with.

Why?

The price of their success was not one I would be willing to pay.

There is a price tag for anything you want to achieve in life.

Elon Musk Followed You

Goodbye Mirrors: This Telescope Could Collect 100x More Light Than the James Webb . Our proposed telescope, the Nautilus Space Observatory, would replace large, heavy mirrors with a novel, thin lens that is much lighter, cheaper, and easier to produce than mirrored telescopes. Because of these differences, it would be possible to launch many individual units into orbit and create a powerful network of telescopes............ Webb cost more than $8 billion and took over 20 years to build. The next flagship telescope is not expected to fly before 2045 and is estimated to cost $11 billion. These ambitious telescope projects are always expensive, laborious, and produce a single powerful—but very specialized—observatory. .......... a few of us came up with the idea of revisiting an old technology called diffractive lenses. ....... Our current design is in fact not a single telescope, but a constellation of 35 individual telescope units. ......... By combining data from all the units, Nautilus’ light-collecting power would equal a telescope nearly 10 times larger than Webb. With this powerful telescope, astronomers could search hundreds of exoplanets for atmospheric gases that may indicate extraterrestrial life. .........
