  • trying to build a community

    I honestly think that’s the big part there. You can build a great app but it doesn’t matter if no one is using it and you don’t get feed back or it’s not shared around.

    So, here we are trying to use the newest virtual 3rd space to create a community so that there is people will feel engaged in the product and share it around to add more.

    But that’s also an issue with discord. It wants to be a social space more than a useful space and it usually gets entirely dominated by a few users with others less inclined to add in. It’s also accessible but not easy necessarily to stumble into if you are outside of the community trying to look into it more.

    It just does the wrong job, slower and less efficient than old school forums or wikis, but it’s the tools we have to use in this less efficient connected Internet of the now.








  • I honestly think it will have to be semi curated and look a lot like a more complex digital version of an encyclopedia.

    I mean I think the stupid LLM craze is from trying to make something like that in the vain of the “Hitchhikers Guide” but without having to do the actual work and using autogenerated articles except that makes them prone to being false. The Hitchhikers Guide still had writers and people entering and double checking information.

    It can then further link you to related stuff from the web but the wide spread of information is somewhat dead since it’s now the product to be sold and free and easy sharing of it would ruin profit margins.

    It’s funny to think that previous generations were medicating themselves too without admitting it. 1930s-70s amphetamines are all the rage until it’s declared an epidemic from the incredible amount of usage.

    Then hard pivot to cocaine use to replace the amphetamines, which ends up not being better (and maybe destroying some countries in the process)

    And now here we are back to amphetamine usage and far surpassing the levels of the epidemic of the late 60s-70s.

    So remember if your grandparents say they never had to medicate themselves back in the day just ask them how much powder they sniffed up their noses. Apparently everyone feels good with a bit of stimulation.




  • Did you know you can store smoked salmon at room temp pretty much indefinitely in an unopened package?

    Food storage has gotten really good, all the tricks of smoke, sugar or salt of our ancestors with now radiation sterilization and other cool tricks with science.
    All that to say. It’s probably fine. You just bought it and I’m sure this was made to last as long as it can as reliably as it can so that they don’t lose money.

    Most best buy dates are just made up anyways and not based on much. Check for gas build up, a weird odor, extreme discoloration, or foreign objects or growths. That will get you through pretty much every rotten food type without having to taste it.

    That’s said, where are you shopping that has a mixture of Japanese, Chinese, French, and robot codes?
