61. "Project managing" network effects
Quote Tweet
When a proto-network is strongly under your control/influence (eg network of stores you can release a product in, large group of employees you can send a prompt to, fans of a movie franchise…), how do you trigger a network effect? Can you project manage a network effect?

62. Anti-network effects.
Quote Tweet
What’s the opposite of a network effect? Not merely a negative network effect like a contagion or failure cascade. That’s just point of view/subjective. Possibly a positive one for someone else. A true opposite on the spirit of “the opposite of love is not hate but apathy.”

65. Arduino and basic electronics learning project, starting with the Elegoo starter kit and then venturing beyond.
Quote Tweet
Starting to play with Arduino more. First I’ve fiddled with electronic assembly in ~20 years and the biggest learning is: middle-aged eyesight and finger dexterity suck. Reading resistor values and assembling even a simple circuit was more eye/finger strain than I expected.

66. Riff on kata-style learning
Quote Tweet
I once attended a talk about “coding kata.” I don’t think the idea ever took off. It works even worse with hardware. Something about engineering seems to defy learning through abstract formal exercises of growing combinatorial complexity. Like music scales or kata. Wonder why.

67. Prompt + riff on democratizing experimental science capabilities
Quote Tweet
What’s the cheapest scientific instrument that can get an average amateur to the bleeding edge of discovery work? So not just scutwork that the pros with billion dollars instruments like CERN or Hubble indulgently farm out.

68. Covid Scenario Z
Quote Tweet
Scenario Z: Covid is never brought under control, mutates too much every season to be managed like the flu, and goes endemic with higher base fatality rate and is too costly to chase with vaccines. Joins the top-3 ranks of steady modern killers alongside heart disease and cancer.
