New in tidepools.ai I love that tidepools formulas let you insert live dashboards anywhere. But 90% of the time I just want a quick dashboard right where I'm working - today's journal page. So meet the new Todos section:

And like ... yeah we should be able to question and reject if need be. But some things take time to understand. But to rationalists that seems like epistemic deference, which they're allergic to.

OpenAI and Anthropic have a lot of rationalists. A core part of the "rationalist" movement is the right of any person, no matter how ignorant of a field, to reject the views of experts, as long as that person obeys the epistemic rules of the rationalist crew.

But does he care if over half of Americans don't support the war? Serious question, can public opposition move him? Good points about the wartime powers it gives him.

Thursday: wake up. dramatically simpler and more robust idea for handling Situation X greets me shortly after my first cup of coffee. funny thing is that I'm re-reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and this episode could be ripped straight from its pages.

Tuesday: realize the new feature needs to handle Situation X Wednesday: come up with a detailed, thoughtful plan for handling Situation X. immediately after writing it, get very morose. decide not to push myself to complete it, go do other stuff.

There will be a credible exit when someone else runs a relay at scale, which is expensive enough that it means venture funding.

As far as revolt from the world goes, to Lauren's point about diversity within religions, you see the same split between Theravadan Buddhism (very strong renunciant character) and Mahayana/Vajrayana (more of an emphasis on realization within the world and vice versa.) These debates are not new!

Lukas Bergstrom @lukas.blue · 24/03/2025

I think you have to allow for the possibility that people will get involved in a practice with one orientation but the practice itself will open up other perspectives. A really committed practice is in a sense radical.

Good argument here that romanticism is the lens through which many Westerners view Buddhism, but is distinct from it: www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/...

They'd also buy the relay, right? And those are really expensive to operate, like millions of dollars.
