In fact people have met their partners on the boat, and there are "get to know each other" events and such. It happens! The cruise also (importantly) has a code of conduct policy everyone signs to get on board, which is taken seriously by the JoCo organization. Which helps people mingle comfortably. Quoting @michelesliger.bsky.social Any meet-cute stories on the nerd boat? Have you officiated a marriage of any couples who met there yet? I think if I had a chance at nerd love on the cruise, that might get me to step out of my comfort zone and go. Right now I think “nah, I’m too old for that, it’ll be nothing but young couples.” Related

And one Starlink Mini for travel which we used last month on a boat in the Mediterranean, we had a balcony with only a little bit sky horizontally and still got 25mbps, which was way faster than the onboard WiFi

The reason that is rarely articulated, for obvious reasons, but which is nonetheless true: for many this fills a void of meaning. They get be one of the decisive few at the decisive moment in the history of life. Very similar to the emotions that motivated many revolutionaries of days past. All of the sudden the small things one does—the books one reads, one’s office set up, one’s bedtime routine—take on an awful cosmic significance. The whole history of carbon life is culminating with *me* — and what I do, and the few elect here with me, matters, and matters immensely. We are the agents of h… Quoting @jasminewsun I hear roughly 3 reasons people keep working at AI labs despite believing in ~10% extinction risk: 1) Techno-determinism: Someone will build ASI no matter what, and I can do it better & more safely than China/OpenAI/etc 2) Consequentialism: ASI might kill us, but it also might produce utopia/immort… Related

I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts: The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020. We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016. There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year. And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050. But I know that we can’t be complacent on this. Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and we need to respond qui… Related

Their words
if if I got to pick one if I get to pick one thing that you do as CEO, I'm going to pick that you're right. So even if you don't, you know, even if you don't operate the ship or the factory that well, I'd rather that you picked the right product, the right strategy than you were phenomenal at execution or inspiring people or managing because, you know, being in the right body of water matters more than the right boat.

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.
