Home | Puresteel Drip-style coffee maker designed for wellness and longevity. Everything is stainless steel including the tank, valves, showerhead, pipe, and body.

Really cool product I found - all steel coffee maker that makes a full 12 cups. I've looked for years for this and someone is finally building it. The Chemex is cool and I use it all the time but this is def easier (and it's only $80) puresteelco.com

recently got a Fanttik X9 APEX digital tire inflator - pretty sweet - easily keeps car/bike tires perfectly to spec, recharges via USB. One of those "once you have it you wonder how you lived without it" type things bc you realize how much safer it is to be able to do this at home with precision

They should just make some new franchises honestly Star Wars & Trek are both stale and have been for awhile

I don't like the original star trek and I also don't like the (very) new star trek - TNG (plus TNG movies) DS9 and Voyager are really the only good ones

Fairly nihilistic - you should do a creative project because you want to and have to get it out of you

YouTube video by jotatx Amanhecer em Camburi.

two trivias about this video:
1. Soundtrack by @adamsinger.bsky.social

2. the colors are a side effect of the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga HaΚ»apai eruption, that tinted the southern sky for several months with really crazy colors.

The AI Paradox
YouTube video by Art of the Problem The AI Paradox

Good video, I talk about a lot of the ideas presented here and danger of outsourcing all cognitive and creative work to machines on the blog all the time. There's no way you can do that without tradeoffs, in fact we have plenty of ex this is true in existing areas www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcol...

Big tech's war on hyperlinks continues. Build an email list from your followers on those platforms while you still can. The window to do this is shrinking, then may be gone forever.

Eventually there will be a day you will reach no one unless you pay -whether it has links or otherwise

This makes sense, although it can go too far. One time many years ago people wanted me to do so sample work for them pre-hire. I had a very similar project I just linked them, because it fulfilled the ask (it had even won an industry award!). They didn't like that, and I ultimately didn't work there

Internet companies don't owe anyone free traffic It's incredible people still haven't realized this and hedged against it

New on the blog - the easy traffic days are gone. If there ever even was any sort of internet social contract, it's been broken for years. You have to operate with this in mind and can't act surprised when tactics of the past stop working www.hottakes.space/p/internet-c...

Some friction is good The people who want a totally frictionless world are nihilistic, empty and lost

This week's longform idea we're talking about how some friction in your life is good. Creative work isn't assembly line work. It's something different and transcendent. You want it to have real meaning, not just be faster and cheaper www.hottakes.space/p/some-frict...

Short form video is a cancer of the mind If you don't yet feel disgust when you see people (or yourself) watching SFV, you should. Here's some research if you need it.

For Americans - more free time for sure equals more desire to shop, it's pretty ingrained in our DNA

I actually think more vacation is healthy for the economy, if you gave people more free time they would have more time to spend on hobbies, interests, travel etc. I think everyone badly discounts this

Hard to believe that a few years ago there was genuine mainstream discourse about tech companies shifting to 4-day work weeks while today companies are bragging about β€œAI productivity gains” yet it’s all about 996.
