Haidt, in his great book "The Righteous Mind," has been arguing that reasoning evolved not to discover truth but to win arguments. There's a lot of scientific research backing his idea. Haidt's metaphor is the rider and

You can probably catch a big pie of those with simple heuristics to flag suspicious repos for expensive review (human- or AI-based). I did that with public account & repo data, and I believe they can do much more given the amount of pr

Well, my trend detection logic rewards recent stars more than older ones [1]. Recency is an important factor for many custom and public tools that track GitHub trends. I think the bad guys intentionally recreate repos - I actually noticed t

I finished The Lean Startup a few days ago, and I really felt the power of the ideas you've shared there coming from a heavily technical background; incredible work. It's already been 14+ years since you wrote the book; I wonder i

Sam Altman and other big figures tend to shape their narratives around their personal and organizational interests. When people were skeptical, they pushed hard into the "God-like AI" narrative. Now that safety concerns are growin

I hate to say it, but I'm becoming less and less interested in structured content, and more interested in disorganized, messy content over time. I don't like the thought of how this may end up in a few years for me.
