Transition Design brings together two global memes. First, the idea that entire societies must transition toward more sustainable, equitable and desirable long-term futures and second, that these transitions will require intentional, systems-level change. We see evidence of these memes in the large number of transition-related initiatives springing up around the world, and the rise in the number of tools and knowledge sets aimed at understanding complex systems and systems problems.

From the research side of things, we continue to see a strong correlation between the size of the model and the performance on many popular benchmarks. Universities can no longer compete on this. Academics can still make valuable research contributions by showing new ways to do things that work on smaller, publicly available models. However, it does put a number of research goals out of the realm of possibility without collaborating with large tech firms.

a last one about the sidebar in Roam (there is far more possible in the sidebard than what you can see in this video, the video maker has a whole series)

"'When someone seeks,' said Siddhartha, 'then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing. [...] Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.' " Hermann Hesse"

Dapper Labs believes that it can help streamline the process of creating, operating, and participating in DAOs, whether it's for individual creators or established companies that see a future in decentralizing and embracing a Web3 world.

Very useful report indeed. Thanks for surfacing it You can see my hypothesis public annotations here https://jonudell.info/h/facet/?max=50&addQuoteContext=true&user=gyuri or here https://mindgraph.co/hpth/

Interesting. These people did not engage into original reporting, they were curators of media stories. They had to take care that there was a balance in political views, that stuff was appropriate for youngsters, and now we'll have to see whether the AI can make these curating decisions as well as the humans.

I checked this out on my Oculus Quest. The Quest has a passthrough feature, enabling you to see the real world once you get outside the virtual gamezone. However, that cannot be compare to 'real' AR goggles such as the Hololens. All of which means that inside the Quest the VR meetings are not holographic, but just VR - but even so rather interesting.
