No idea, been happy with joplin app to be honest for personal note making. Simple enough and captures most use-cases cases. Just not as elegant as notion, but optionality is great

Great list! I'd just add one complementary platform to the fun. brilliant.org, the way they approach math puzzles is stimulating and has been great to enhance understanding. You need to subscribe, but if you actually use it I think it is priceless.

Note: this is my personal recommendation, I don't benefit from promoting brilliant, just thought others might share a similar learning style.

Couldn't have described it better. Well put @hatware

Oh sorry, yes it the matrix reference.

Brain waves, atleast for now.

Take the red pill?

Just because a fart can propel a person, doesn't mean it will take you to the moon...

i.e. just because analogs exist, don't expect their performance characteristics to be invariant

Human greed is the problem. How much of promising tech, starts out so innocent till big money becomes aware of it or those who want to make a quick dime, tarnish principled thinking and action.

Big tech is cultivating a rather toxic environment these days.

Very well put and refreshing. Thank you.

If I were to speculate:

1. It is inline with their vision/mission of the organization, advancing science. 2. Differentiate themselves from OpenAI, which despite the name, is not really big on open source.

"Not your token, not your coin"

Its bias all the way down...

Code, Data, Model, Use-Case, ...

Alienating your userbase before an IPO. Damn, how much leverage do this 'hidden' hand have.

The censorship behaviour highlights that BTC appears to be the only remaining asset class without centralised institutional control.

Well said.

For such a highly valued organisation, they really do appear to not prioritise customers. Such a wealth of resources, yet these things manifest often. Google's reputation for me is diminishing gradually every year.

Indeed, gives me hope for decentralised technologies like gitcoin, that could perhaps give more agency to developers.

I recently read an article (sorry, can't find it now), that one of the risks with 5G is that it may adversely impact navigational systems. Wonder if this may be having an impact on GPS as it grows in market share?

I mean it is of course a complex system and not meant to be interpreted too simplistically. The gist of my point is, never estimate the power and effect of marketing, media, bureaucracy, laws, and policies on collective human behavior.

A few big corporate tech players are increasingly growing in power to influence/control collective behaviour. Which includes funding internal departments to lobby to change laws based on some agenda. Those laws control human behaviour. Those tech organisations also determine the information flow of: words, symbols, images, effectively culture. There is a reason why militaries invest money in meme warfare for example, and these organisation effectively have that power.

Uncomfortable times. As these FAANG organisations grow ever more powerful. In a way these few organisations control majority people's attention, and thereby influencing behaviour and increasingly knowledge as well. I guess its human nature, conquest.

Technology amplifies the effect though.

Love this project.

In South Africa, we often have huge data breaches. It is interesting how little coverage in the news this can have, and almost no accountability. Sad state of affairs. Level of corruption in this country is extreme.

I imagine the answer to that question is complex. One aspect, I think plays a role is having people's attention divided, as they argue and polarise, allows the powerful actors in the globe, to take actions that fly underneath the radar.

This is in bad taste from Apple.

The ever decreasing robustness property of the ecosystem which loses diversity and becomes more centralized. I don't know if FAANG gaining more and more power is a good thing for the world.

Always amazed on how dancing and music can lift ones mood :)

Meme warfare is not a new idea, but appears growing ever more sophisticated. Implication being, the value of attention and critical thinking is increasing exponentially as people struggle to navigate the information explosion online and to discern what really matters. Curious how people will evolve.
