The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that ad… Google Related

When does it become a speech? One person isn’t a lecture, it’s lunch. Three people is office hours. Six people is a seminar. At some point, we shift from interaction to performance–but the people are the same people, the very ones that were happy to…

Europe
Their words
Making trade deals with EU is good for Canada. Anything beyond that is just anchoring ourselves to a block who’s economic ambitions aren’t much higher than being an “open air museum”.

Co-founder of Superlogical, started in 2026 to build server-side terminal infrastructure; creator of Ghostty. Co-founded HashiCorp and created Vagrant and Terraform before that.
Guess which one is Rust btw. 🤣 (The point is the language isn't a free lunch for performance. Rust could be just as small as any other here. It isn't a given. Fundamentals and system design trump everything else. Language wars are stupid as hell.) Quoting @mitchellh The Superlogical server is built to run anywhere and everywhere and serve a level of scale (terminals+clients) unmatched w/ prior solutions. So let's start talking about that, starting with memory usage and comparisons to other popular multiplexers. I want to start by talking high level: why does t… Related
Mathematician at UCLA, working mainly in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. Writes What's new, a long-running blog on their research, open problems and expository notes.
It seems intuitive that a solved problem is unquestionably better than an unsolved problem: a magic button which, when pressed, turns the latter into the former at no cost would thus seem to be a "free lunch" that there would be no hesitation in pressing. But even such a benign-seeming operation as answering a question can have irreversible costs. One familiar example is that of spoilers to a movie one is looking forward to watching: knowing key plot points in advance may permanently decrease your ability to enjoy the movie for the first time. Similarly, leaking information about a competitio… Related

if you feel "too busy" to exercise, instead try finding active moments you can do throughout the day: - walk after lunch - take stairs instead of elevator - choose a parking spot farther away - give your kids an extra piggyback ride - listen to your all-hands call on a walk remind yourself you're doing it to have more energy to be more focused to be more present with your family to live a more enjoyable life whatever it may be energy Related

Their words
It is actually a special place because you cannot point to another museum in the world with the same task. For example, the Louvre is basically a museum of art, basically a museum of art, not a museum of ideas.

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.
