I did another podcast with @tobi. We ended up kinda just geeking out on AI for hours. The members' cut is out: https://t.co/iMzgh5t4aW ... I am worried this episode might be a little too nerdy for everyone, but the feedback from early listeners seems to be: 'This is the best podcast of the year; I need to listen more than once; and I am so far behind on AI.' The public release is Tuesday, and it's a little less in the weeds, but if you want the nerd edition, get the members' cut. Related

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'm deep in my Massachusetts visit, becoming one of those people who can't look at a place without remembering what used to be there. My birthday is tomorrow, so there are all sorts of opportunities for reflecting and remembering. Oh and I guess it's a holiday weekend in the US, so maybe schedule those emails for Tuesday.

Man. What a week! Started on a high on the weekend with doing good progress on a secret project and on Monday at work as well. Tuesday, still good progress but also had a quick shocker as a friend didn't answer their phone for 3 hours and we thought something happened to them. And today started with getting the notice that a friend from the local gym died after their cancer returned. 😭 And the whole world politics definitely starts to pull me down more and more.

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.
