Supremacy by Parmy Olson

Enjoyed Supremacy by @parmy.bsky.social, about the rivalry between Sam Altman and Demis Hassabis and how this morphed into the rivalry between Google and Microsoft. A bit on the cults of effective altruism and long-termism but i would have liked more.

Percy Jeeves pictured in August 1914. He made his Warwickshire debut in 1912 and in 50 first-class matches took 199 wickets at 20.03. He joined the army soon after the outbreak of war and was killed during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. PG Wodehouse named his character Jeeves after him

How to rotate your mattress like a physics Nobel prizewinner – Physics World A tongue-in-cheek e-mail exchange with 1973 Nobel Prize winner Brian Josephson shows that for some laureates, scientific rigour extends to ordinary life, too

Brian Josephson has a method for rotating his mattress according to the principles of symmetry group theory: physicsworld.com/a/how-to-rot...

Having worked around very smart people all my life, Brian Josephson is one of the very few I would call a genius (and a complete nutter)

it's actually not two Nobels for Josephson junctions, just one that tunnelled over a gap of 52 years

PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZES YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF – PART 2

In 1912, a Swedish inventor called Gustaf DalΓ©n beat Albert Einstein and Max Planck (inter alia) to the biggest prize in physics. How? Well...🧡πŸ§ͺβš›οΈ
