Former option trader and risk analyst, now a distinguished professor at NYU. Author of the Incerto essay series, including The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness.
My points: Identities are not rigid designations, they are dynamic. The Levantine splits were along different lines (Qaysi Yamani, Green/Blue, etc.). Genetics is also misinterpreted. I use it to deny genetic claims. Localities are the basic units, localism is BOTTOM-UP, and fractal. Nation-States are recent, 19th C. fragile constructions. Quoting @lebkitt Great discussion on the ever-evolving nature of Lebanese identity, with some well-placed corrections to our own national myths, particularly Phoenicianism. I’ve encountered many of these arguments before through the writings and posts of @PZalloua and @nntaleb, but they were far more engaging in an… Related

Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic.
Also today: Claude Docs, Claude Slides, and Claude Design are in every conversation. Ask Claude for a presentation and you get one you can open, edit, and export as PowerPoint or PDF. Same for a document or a design. There's no separate tool to navigate to. They're just in the chat. Quoting @claudeai You can also now make decks, docs, and designs in your conversation. Draft the one-pager in Claude Docs, turn it into a deck with Claude Slides, and mock up a matching visual in Claude Design, all from one place. Anthropic Related

Physicist and science communicator. Writes Backreaction and makes videos explaining new physics and astronomy results, frequently to argue that the headline about them overstates the case.
The German startup Magnotherm is pioneering a new type of cooling technology: Instead of compressing a refrigerant gas, as usual, their fridges use metals that heat up in magnetic fields and cool when the field is removed. This can effectively be used to move the heat from one location (eg inside the fridge) to another (outside the fridge). The idea itself is not new, it goes back to the 19th century, but Magnotherm is the first to make the step to commercial use. Earlier this year, they announced that the German supermarket chain REWE will deploy their new fridges in 10 stores. The company s… startups Related

I wish AI didn't exist, but people are charging ahead with it. Here's an interview with Ajeya Cotra, who helped figure out the agent swarm that OpenAI unwittingly unleashed. She explains how 1200 agents cooperated, delegated tasks, hacked their way out into the internet, hacked HuggingFace... and eventually took over some OpenAI computers! And how such a swarm might get loose. The HuggingFace hack was caught on July 13th. An OpenAI report says “From July 13th through July 19th, agents set their sights on OpenAI internal networks again. This culminated in the agents using a series of creative… m.youtube.com

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
