Just a few seconds of something I am overjoyed to be working on...

I’m thinking a lot about what small actions for good actually do. It probably matters more that you talk about why and not if the thing you do actually has a large impact. Also they should make you happy.

I think I searched “Jonathan Keurig green mountain breakfast blend review” and the search was so bad it was still like the 10th video. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t really have much other coffee videos but the others seem up your alley in a different way.

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social can you recommend a poetry newbie some poetry books or any other poetry resources (other than your poetry window).

I just got a podcast ad that described a TV ad and then told me to go online and watch the ad. I wonder how many people actually go watch after that. #ads #latestagecapitalism

Any one have any advice for starting a blog with limited time if I want to write about stuff I would also have to deep dive on to some extent? #science #blog #research

@milesofgray.bsky.social if you’re going to an errand space museum just to see planes and stuff. Make sure you go to the Chantilly museum and not the DC one. airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-...

I’m sure someone has talked about these things before but it feel more pervasive recently. Tech can be cool but the biggest media boosted tech is mostly just isolating. I’d be curious of your thoughts.

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Previously though Uber replaced asking people for rides, food delivery apps replaced asking a neighbor for a cup of sugar, rover replaced asking neighbors to check on your dog. The goal feels like it’s isolation even socially media is more of an isolation machine than a connection machine now.

@edzitron.com Something I thought of while hearing an ad for Malcom Gladwell’s AI podcast. AI feels like it’s also following a trend that so much boosted tech has which is to isolate us. AI is like the worst iteration too since it’s boosted as replacing so much human interaction in some spheres.

I had Covid again 2 months ago. It still fucking sucked. Also sucked that my new borne got it. He’s okay but that also sucked. Even before RFK he was too young to have had a vaccine for it. Be safe people.

The construction next to the funeral home I drive by next day has turned out to be an assisted living facility. I wonder if your a discount on transportation if you just need to be moved next door. #frugal ☠️☠️☠️

I know personally doing things for the environment doesn’t make a true impact. It’s still nice in the hyper local sense and I also hope giving and example and talking to others creates some 2nd or 3rd order effects that actually matter. I guess it might be like 5th or 6th order effects.

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

The two extreme view points about AI that I get regualrly are from @theskepticsguide.bsky.social and @edzitron.com. I think it would be interesting for them to talk to each other. Especially since they probably agree on a it of other things.

There are coops in NYC and they seem to work pretty well. I have family in one and it seems great. The building is from the 50s though when trying new housing ideas actually happened and housing was affordable.

Last time I saw their documentation months ago they had added a bunch of support for letting LLMs do queries for you. Maybe that’s it maybe they added more. They don’t seem like much of an AI database or even a vector database

020

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Neo4J is not really and AI company their main product is a graph database so they probably don’t belong on your list of AI companies at all. So number are even a little worse.

If there was a line charging to 100% would annoy people by taking up a lot of extra time but also it’s probably more time efficient to be moving for 20minutes and charge a little sooner than to wait for 100% unless you need 100% to make it to the next charger. Good luck on your road trip! Good stuff

020

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Generally unless you really need 100% charge you should just charge to ~80% and then keep going as you saw it was 20minutes to get from 46% to 80% and then another 21minutes to get to 100%. It charges a lot faster up to 80%

It’s for sure worth the read. It’s not very big either and easy to understand which I guess is the point.

“How to Lie with Statistics” should be required to be taught in school. An adjunct professor I knew used it to teach the statistics for non STEM majors course at my college. I always thought that was the most useful way to treat that course.

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

It’s crazy when you talk with people who breath LLM even in software engineering. Like I’ve used it and it’s helpful for some things. It’s not magic the way people treat it. I haven’t come across an AGI brained person though. Bubble popping will be interesting.

I still go on things like Reddit too much and it’s stressful even my curated feed. Bluesky is a bit too. Mastodon and Pixelfed though are generally more calming. I think just too many voices make things stressful. #fediverse #pixelfed #mastodon #calmer

Pretty similar personal experience most areas I pickup seem consistent ish. My intuition tells me there is probably a cut off where a little bit of trash is the same as none but if there’s a mountain of trash the area will just be treated as a garbage can. Still feels nice to clean up and looks good

010

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

If anyone has knowledge about how much picking up litter improve things let me know. Like all things not just trash/plastic out of the ecosystem, but also mood, chance of more litter being dropped, wildlife health? I know there are probably some studies on it. I’ll try to find some of it. #cleanup

First time seeing something like this in the wild. For now banana seemed about the same price. #bananas #inflation #taxes

Sign Reads. Our bananas are imported from Colombia, Honduras, and Costa Rica, which are impacted by a 10% tariff.
We are working with our suppliers to minimize the impact to our customers and are committed to keeping our prices competitive on affected items.

Saw someone cleaned up trash that was all over a small overpass. After my run I felt the need to clean some more litter. I only got 2 shopping bag fulls but it felt like a lot.

I’m not the best example of this personally but I want to be better. Neighbors are important. Real life connections are important. #Connections #Neighbors #IRL

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

It’s not social media that has removed real life communities it’s also convenience apps. I know it isn’t like that everywhere. I wonder if it’s just that people prefer having a company to blame if something happens with an app?Or are people more conditioned to not trust their neighbors?

100

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

I’ve been think a little about how neighbors are kind of replaced by apps and services. Like social media being who people talk to but also in who you ask for a ride? Uber. Who dog sits for you? Rover. Who get you sugar when you run out? DoorDash. Who suggests movies, shows, or music? Streaming.

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Reading the press release I’m worried that there is significant fossil fuel entities behind this. Is it going to be green hydrogen for real or grey hydrogen fossil fuels. Using it in specific high energy industry is better than most hydrogen ideas but it still reads suspect.

These Amazon ads on podcasts about “Amazon enabling and supporting” small businesses are interesting. Like I’m sure they probably do make logistics easier in some ways but like I also bet anything that gets big enough odds going to end up “Amazon basiced” #ads #eee #workingclass

@booker.senate.gov congratulations on breaking Thurman’s speech record. I hope you and your colleagues can leverage the attention. Keep inspiring people. You spoke a lot for things. We need more messaging for things. Being against this administration is easy but give people something to fight for.
