His latest thing was https://crazystupidtech.com/ - a joint newsletter with Fred Vogelstein.


Because that is where Carmack posted his thoughts, not anywhere else. Original source.

Wether you like it or not, X/Twitter is still a primary posting ground for many key people in our industry.


Political and personal attack, no substance.

Reid is a mega-donor for the Dems, Elon for the Repubs.

Billionaires fighting, plebs on HN getting riled up.


It's a shame, as AI will improve healthcare on an unprecedented scale.

I cannot get a specialist without referrals and endless appointments to spend more than 30min to discuss how to fix a serious issues. Claude? Hours and hours of back and forth. Public models now beat the specialized ones like OpenEvidence. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04431-5

Diagnostics is getting blown apart by AI, the best cancer screening will be available in even remote corners of this world.

We were constrained by the available brain mass of highly trained specialists - and this bottleneck is getting removed.

Hard not to be optimistic on AI if you're in healthcare.


This is ahistoric drivel.

China and Russia are simple examples of the fallout of "cutting king's heads".

So awesome in China that they went straight back to a lifetime emperor now.

The French Revolution and its fallout (communism, fascism) killed more humans than any other historic movement, triggering 2 world wars, including numerous genocides.


Blaming an event that happened in 1789 for the first and second world wars seems incredibly far fetched. Maybe we should blame the aggressors who started the wars.

Esperanto being created by L.L. Zamenhof ... a Polish Ashkenazi Jew. Full circle!


Lingua Franca, like literally. French used to be the language of diplomacy.


Lingua franca actually comes from the Mediterranean Lingua Franca [1], which was mostly derived from Northern Italian languages, not French. French eventually became the "lingua franca," but it wasn't widespread (or even clearly defined) when that term started being used.

Balko was a big proponent of police body cams, as they would clearly reveal massive police abuse and brutality.

Since the bodycam rollout however, we're inundated with videos of justified police actions, over and over again. Proving that most criminals are indeed retarded, unable to follow simple commands and escalate minor stuff into full violance, necessitating the use of force against them.

Balko now of course sees bodycams as propaganda or "copaganda".

Utterly biased "reporting", starting with an agenda and then trying to prove the point by any means possible.

Go Gary.


Picket Fences was similar to that, an early David E Kelley show (after LA Law).

Some of that weirdness was then further carried over by Kelley to Ally McBeal and Boston Legal.

Utter products of their time periods 90s and early aughts.


Odd omission on CRM. They have HubSpot for Campaigns, but basic management of your customers, installed base, sales alignments, opportunities ... nothing there.

SFDC announces "Headless CRM" and Anthropic is like meh.
