Big update with 0.1.0 of Stratum. Now you can quickly bulk sync the creation of literature notes from Zotero running on your computer. What used to take hours for many thousands of papers now takes a couple of minutes (maybe less? I do not have thousands of papers) #AcademicSky

Hello #AcademicSky 👋 Every Zotero-to-Obsidian plugin I tried needed BetterBibTeX, a running Zotero app, and template configurations. And many were abandoned or lacked needed updates. So I built one that works with a few clicks. I'm looking for beta users: stratumnotes.com #Obsidian #Zotero #PKM
stratumnotes.com
Stratum — Your Zotero library in Obsidian with zero config
Structured literature notes from Zotero in Obsidian. No configuration, no templates. First synced note in less than two minutes.

One of the fun parts of @anthropic.com’s Claude Code is that it’s trivial to work on ideas that are far, far outside your area of expertise.

Cognitive Security (CogSec) is becoming a non-negotiable skill. The good news: it’s simple to learn. The bad news: almost no one is paying attention.

How wild is the response of many reasonable people to California’s proposed wealth tax: > Taking ~50%-100%+ of many billionaires net worth is a benefit to society and the side effects will surely lead to greater prosperity. Let them enjoy bankruptcy and lose most/all power within their organization

A year ago I struggled to imagine 🇨🇦 expressing the will, urgency, or need to prepare itself for what will happen over the the next few years. @buildcanada.com has created that movement. And this memo by @ddebow.bsky.social perfectly captures how we can get there.

This one is a banger. It’s shocking how many Canadians remain skeptical of AI. Why would you choose to show up at work and ask for a “Last Place” badge? The same can be asked of a country. Thankfully it seems 🇨🇦 is hustling for the podium.

To that end, the Build Canada team has worked with entrepreneurs in our network to craft mandate letters for specific ministries that we believe will help transform the party’s policy agenda into action. Read them here: www.buildcanada.com/memos/mandat...

It's time to refocus. Canada now has the lowest GDP per capita growth in the G7. Government spending has ballooned 45% over the last decade. Our productivity has stagnated, our debt is climbing, and our economy is under threat from a trade war with the US. www.buildcanada.com/memos/produc...

A federal election has just been called. This is a pivotal moment to determine Canada’s trajectory. Our economy has been stagnant for a decade with all indications it will only get worse. At the same time, we face the most consequential change to global relations since World War II.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking – why are we taxing housing to death during a housing crisis? When taxes can make up 36% of a new home, it's no wonder Canadians can't afford them.

Many are concerned about the energy use required for new AI datacenters. We’re building $500B datacenters today. It won’t be long till the first trillion-dollar datacenter breaks ground. The difference among those concerned is whether too much energy will be used, or not enough.
