I get the point, it's a useful insight about the world

but like

did this really need a graph

starting to realize that the biggest productivity skill I need to work on is confidence

this is really interesting

How big can an agricultural society can get before it leaves identifiable archeological records- irrigation structures, etc? Could small communities have repeatedly discovered and lost (or discarded) farming through human history?

Nearly 12,000 years ago, an unknown people built stone buildings and towering pillars at a site in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe.

sometimes it helps to tinker with your workflow just to break the psychological associations of old tools

so, I guess we've hit the point where the infrastructure attacks/systems disruption people like @johnrobb have been warning about for a while has gone from "future threat scenario" to "regular tuesday"

cool and good

are there any good english books on the lunokhod program

this is true

this is why most of the funky biohacking shit from the teens has mostly converged to "work out and get a good night's sleep, for christ's sake"

also, sunlight on waking is basically magic

coworking space + microbrewery is terrible for productivity, but awesome overall

okay, holiday project

actually learn haskell

I've never got past the "huh, that's neat" phase

minor irritant that I've never killed properly: does anyone have an easy way of converting 80-char text to unwrapped, while keeping paragraph spacing, etc.? I'm liking Mutt, but 80-char emails render with really ugly breaks on phones, etc.

potentially another point in favor of the cold traps being worth it, even though exploring them is hard

really cool work on potential sources of lunar carbon- I'd honestly written lunar carbon SRU off entirely, but Kevin makes a good point that there's nontrivial amounts in the poles, at least for early exploration

What would it take to refuel a @SpaceX #Starship on the Moon with methalox propellant? In light of the HLS selection I put up a preprint exploring this question: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.13521.pdf

still not used to collagen protein shakes

they actually taste better than whey with water, but the texture is just... odd, nourishing slime

The filtering (primarily to inject advertising, but also through being where people come for recommendations/discovery/to get discovered) is where the value is

I've seen a couple people say stuff along these lines, and it's really interesting to think about

I have no idea how to make the incentives work out, though- right now it seems that you're directly at odds with the platforms

oh god in the process of talking about what kind of social media would optimize for users rather than engagement I thought what if users could define their own filter algos. make some presets, but …

time to turn all the little python snippets I wrote into an actual useful resource to leave behind
