โ€‹โ€‹Flip 8 imaginary coins. Now roll 8 imaginary dice. Now pick 8 random spots on a screen. These tasks are all different, yet you might have a unique 'random fingerprint' that applies across them.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Playing around with automatically sandboxing Hermes harness agents on some Love prototypes. Snapshots to rollback to after every action and explicit permissions to stop them it from doing anything too wild. Mostly interact changing markdown docs through a folder mount on a personal machine.

Anyone here an expert on the claims made to advertise technologies? I'd love to learn about the proportion of claims made about technology as time-saving claims vs enjoyable in other ways There's a lot about whether labor-saving tech actually yields leisure, but I am esp interested in promises made

Anyone have experiences with self-publishing and print-on-demand they are willing to share? I'm trying to make a print of a book available at-cost, and looking at different providers. It feels like Amazon/KDP is most accessible, but it does have A Vibe. Looking at Blurb and Lulu, but welcome advice.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Alan is brilliant (and friends too)
