You had these really interesting opinion columnists like George Will, Thomas Friedman, and others that wrote very interesting columns back in the day (when I was a kid). but today it seems the op-ed pages are for ghosts and people over 70 years old. all the interesting opinion writers have moved to creating their own newsletter, writing on X, etc. I still read the "print" edition of the Wall Street Journal every day - cover to cover ... with… Related

The internet promised us access to all the world’s information. Instead, social media, algorithmic advertising and the attention economy have created a morass of truth, half-truths and lies, making it harder to know both what’s true and what people actually believe. CHOMP is trying to cut through that. Really excited to have backed Kiko and the team. Quoting @chompdotfyi We raised $3.6M to map what the world really thinks. 50K players. 2M+ answers.

Founder and CEO of Valar Atomics, a nuclear-reactor company founded in 2023.
Their words
if you look at the nuclear industry outside of Valor, it's mostly a modeling and simulation uh industry. Like when you think of a nuclear company, right, there's like nuclear companies out there that everyone knows the name of. And you kind of look under the cover. It's actually a modeling and simulation company, right? They produce um very very precise what we call paper reactors which have really good predictions of how a theoretical thing might behave.

Their words
it's just so easy for me to imagine the situation being like totally manageable but brutally mismanaged in practice in the same way as like maybe CO could have been avoided in the first place if the like Chinese response to CO was less of like a cover up and more of a like pandemic response and similarly like I could imagine a world where like the US response to CO was like way more functional but just like sometimes the the the response to societal problems is extremely dysfunctional.

Their words
The result is something that's beautiful, sharp, critical and lingering. Long after I closed the cover, I found myself mulling over the delicate ways that Lai raised the contradictions, sorrows and beauty of queer love, racial identity, camaraderie, self-control, and self-indulgence. Lai's characters have no answers, only questions that can never be fully resolved. Instead, these questions are the defining puzzles, defeats and triumphs of their lives.

it's it's kind of purely a practical and empirical thing that we've observed that by teaching the model principles, getting it to learn from principles, its behavior is more consistent, it's easier to cover edge cases, and the model is more likely to do what people want it to do.

really happy to see my essay on Rosa Luxemburg’s herbarium in the latest issue of Lux Magazine (in very good company). It was a chance not only to consider her beautiful specimens, but also to read her letters from prison(s), a surprising mix of political fervor with mentions of “the titmouse with whom I am friendly.” You need a subscription to read it online, but imho Lux is something very worth subscribing to.

If you think about how we teach quantum mechanics to our students, the Copenhagen interpretation, it’s a God-awful mess. No one’s going to accuse that of being very beautiful. I’m a fan of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, and that is very beautiful in the sense that fewer ingredients, just one equation, and it could cover everything in the world.

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.
Got it
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.
