Mad VillainIf you’re going to hate Bluesky because you prefer Mastodon that’s fine. Do you.
But it is disingenuous to talk about the ills of Bluesky and ignore the years of poor stewardship, unilateralism and how friendly Mastodon is with centralized platforms despite claiming to build an ethical alternative to them.
Yes, I don’t like Bluesky either, but I’m also a pragmatist.
And a lot of people are just not being honest about the very real and longstanding issues that have been pushing people away from Mastodon for a long time.
Gavin AndereggI've seen a lot of takes about the latest move to Bluesky. I wanted to try and collect my thoughts about this in one place. I think Bluesky is fascinating, but I also worry about many parts of it. If it becomes the new "Twitter", I think I'm OK with that, but I'll be very quick to cut the cord if it ever starts sucking.
Maybe Bluesky has “won”
November has sucked so far. One upside of the terrible nonsense is that more people are fleeing X. Many are choosing Bluesky. I’ve seen a bunch of takes about this recently, but I keep seeing things I disagree with. I figure that’s a good enough excuse to write more about this weird-assed social network.
I'm surprised it took so long!

First time trying NotebookLM (public version!) on a book by the historian Alessandro Barbero, and it does a surprising good job at summarizing the key points:

The kicker? The book is written in Italian!
But has also not-so-subtle criticism of how low Elon has fallen, and the risk this poses to SpaceX.
Just finished "Reentry" by @sciguyspace. Such a great book, filled with amazing stories. I loved every page!
David PfauI’m beyond thrilled to share that our work on using deep learning to compute excited states of molecules is out today in Science Magazine! This is the first time that deep learning has accurately solved some of the hardest problems in quantum physics. https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.adn0137
