  My friend Jason (@jmac@masto.nyc), co-admin of masto.nyc, has been working on a service that uses #opendata from the FAA & NOAA to forecast turbulence on major-carrier flights within, departing, or arriving in the US. It's a very cool & helpful tool, especially for nervous flyers, & while most of its features are completely free he just rolled out a premium tier to help offset the costs, If you'd like to learn about & support his work, check it out: https://bumpyskies.c...

  https://elftheory.substack.com/p/is-literature-superior-to-philosophy This took me a very long time! #AI + #linguistics + #philosophy in the service of poetry. Links back to Mastodon, to make sure everyone on Substack understands my allegiances.

  "Safety" is doing so much harm in #AI that it would be a social net positive to just strike it from the dictionary

  What does it mean that the music most associated with wizards, capes, & sixteen keyboards also harbored some of the most radical left politics in rock history? LEPHT HAND did an episode on prog rock! Ft. @dmandl - here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/prog-rock-and-of-157472737 I pitched this mostly because I love the music, but also to fill a void of good content about prog. This goes way beyond "10 best albums." &, yes, most prog isn't left-leaning...

  #Philosophy/ #physics / #math poll: Is it fair to describe quantity as having agency? I.e., is quantity as such a causal force? Sorry to force a binary choice, happy to read comments.

  I wrote about #autism. Specifically, having an autistic twin; pondering a diagnosis myself; The Telepathy Tapes; pop-psych bullshit; the 90s; life-giving beauty, & stupid deaths. I recorded an #audio version of it too. 11 minutes long, downloadable wav file. I feel bad posting Substack links to Mastodon, so I put it on my website. The audio's not up on my site yet but I include the url for the original. Link here: https://emmastamm.com/autism/ #disability #philosophy #psycho...

  serious question, #mastodon - which, if any, new forms of technology *that weren't designed to solve a problem* excite you the most? which non-solution innovations do you like? #science #tech #technology

  2 questions I'm trying to answer as I get a business off the ground: > How much value is there in using mainstream social media for publicity (which we badly need) vs. its psychological costs (the thought of getting on IG is... ugh..)? > Are there optimal ways to use the #fediverse for this? Any thoughts? & since I'm hustling (sorry), here are links to the project: https://elftheory.substack.com/p/special-announcement https://lenoxinstitute.org/ Than...
