If you're remote, ramble

A tip for remote teams of 2-10 people. Create a personal “ramblings” channel for each teammate in your team’s chat app of choice. Ramblings channels let everyone share what’s on their mind without cluttering group channels. Think of them as personal journals or microblogs inside your team’s chat app, a lightweight way to add ambient social cohesion. People typically post short updates 1-3 times per week. Common topics include: ideas related to current projects musings about blog posts, artic

How incel language infected the mainstream internet — and brought its toxicity with it

This excerpt from Adam Aleksic’s Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language has been abridged for online publication. The book is out on July 15th. The modern-­day incel is entirely an invention of the twenty-­first century. Before the internet, lonely men simply didn’t have a way to gather and share ideas. That all began to change in 1997, when a Canadian student started a website called Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project to connect with others over her shared lack of

Attimet (YC F24) – Quant Trading Research Lab – Is Hiring Founding Researcher

You’ll be given the autonomy to do some of the best work for your life. We’re building a research lab that puts its ideas to the test in one of the most complex, information-rich environments in the world: the financial markets.

All Good Editors Are Pirates: In Memory of Lewis H. Lapham

This remembrance first appeared in Stranger’s Guide on July 28, 2024. On July 23, 2024, the American essayist and editor Lewis H. Lapham died. Since then several beautiful obituaries have been written about the great man and I won’t attempt to repeat these, though I certainly encourage reading them. Instead I want to focus on a very particular time and place where I worked with Lewis and knew him best—the book-filled offices of his last great project, Lapham’s Quarterly. After a storied tenure

‘X-Files’ and ‘Wallace & Gromit’ Are Getting Their Own Lego Sets

Not soon after Lego confirmed the latest additions to its fan-designed Ideas line in the form of Godzilla stomping into brick-built reality, the company has announced two more big name franchises making their Lego debuts soon: the unlikely pairing of The X-Files and Wallace & Gromit. What unites both of these franchises? Well, they were big in the ’90s (never mind that A Grand Day Out released in 1989), and were thus two of the franchises used by fan designers in the Lego Ideas “Build Your Nost

Ask HN: How can we keep (part of) the web human?

Any ideas for how we can keep the web (or at least part of it) human? It feels like every time I do a web search, more and more of the results are AI generated nonsense. I'm worried that it's going to become much more difficult to find the human-generated content. How can we keep a part of the web human? Any ideas? (I'm not keen on Sam Altman’s eyeball-scanning Orb being the "solution.")

Tech billionaires are making a risky bet with humanity’s future

While there’s a sprawling patchwork of ideas and philosophies powering these visions, three features play a central role, says Adam Becker, a science writer and astrophysicist: an unshakable certainty that technology can solve any problem, a belief in the necessity of perpetual growth, and a quasi-religious obsession with transcending our physical and biological limits. In his timely new book, More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley’s Crusade to Control the Fate
