Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/07/2023Notes on puzzles: nabeelqu.co/puzzlesnabeelqu.coNotes on PuzzlesI mostly don’t play chess anymore — it’s too addictive, and tends to take over your brain in a way I don’t like — but one habit I’ve retained is solving puzzles. 040
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 30/04/2023Like — way more dunking and negativity, influencer spam, etc. 040
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 30/04/2023The vibe on this website is very different to what it was two weeks ago. 🫠 480
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 28/04/2023I enjoy that there’s a soft norm of “don’t talk about AI” on here 120
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 27/04/2023Was a similar tactic in old Twitter days. Idea is some % of people follow back. (People do this on LinkedIn too) 010
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 21/04/2023Still a thing though, but somewhat less than a year ago imo 020
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 19/04/2023His Goldberg Variations are sublime Of course he is pretty old so the point in your original post still stands 010
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 16/04/2023Nepo/Ding is such an exciting chess WC match. Some truly beautiful games. Turns out Magnus being impossible to beat made for boring chess. 020

Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 14/04/2023Key for having decent meals here is to avoid going anywhere that's on Google Maps, b/c all the tourists flood those places and the whole experience deteriorates. Out of the way neighborhoods good to eat in for the same reason. 110
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 14/04/2023Japanese people def seem a little tired of tourists this time around. Wasn't like this a few years ago. (Understandable, there are tons around this season...) 110

Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/04/2023Japan is so nice for the ears. Supermarkets play little jingles that make me feel like an Animal Crossing character. Restaurants play soft jazz. Speech is murmur-level volume. Subway stations play classical music. It's lovely. 1475
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/04/2023This is why I keep returning to NYC despite it being bad in many ways (no nature, expensive, awful housing, dirty, etc) — density of people I like within 20 mins of me overrules everything else 150
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/04/2023Something like that, yeah. Could you make a feed that truly reflected your preferences. I think recent advances actually make this possible. 010
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/04/2023Being able to choose your own algorithm actually helps here. If there’s only one algo it gets gamed. 100
Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu.bsky.social · 12/04/2023It’s hilarious how the “web3” people were mostly correct 130
