Documenting some of my finds across the internet, with various overlaps with my interests. Not including many of the more mainstream ones:
- Slate Star Codex (Now Astral Codex Ten on Substack). The blog of an essayist/psychiatrist, who talks about almost any topic under the sun. I often cite his articles to friends!
- Was introduced to his blog through Unsong, an... extremely creative, fantastical take on religion and the interpretability of religious texts (specifically the kabbalah). I'm not religious, but this was a particular treat.
- Tangentionally related are the various interests to the r/rational subreddit: some common authors include Eliezer Yudkowsky and DaystarEld (rational fiction writing).
- A delightful reddit community called The Motte, which tries to eliminate biases and encourage reasoned, measure debate between community members.
- Marginal Revolution - Economics blog, often citing other articles of interest.
- Effective Altruism - A movement about optimizing one's "bang for your buck" in philantrophy
- Matt Levine - Excellent financial journalism.
- Hindenburg Research - A company which discovers shortable companies through thorough research. Not exactly a news publication, but essentially a profit-driven investigative journalism outfit. (EDIT: They have since disbanded, sadly...)
- Vitalik Buterin - Founder of Ethereum; he blogs about many of his ideas on the effective infrastructural design of decentralized platform, along with the many ensuing challenges.
- Dan Wang - a global macro researcher focused on China. He blogs on economics, geopolitics, scifi, sociopolitics, and many other topics in a similar vein. Discovered this while reading up on China's recent crackdowns within their Education and Tech sectors
- Paul Graham - co-founder of Y Combinator and Hacker News
Some perhaps less credentialed but still fun discoveries:
- Kontinentalist - Data driven journalism in Singapore!
- The Woke Salaryman - Financial independence- oriented graphics, Singapore-flavoured
AI
- Design Prompts for beautiful one-shot interfaces
- Keep tabs on Jeffrey Emanuel's ideas...
- Andrej Kapathy is always a fun read
- Simon WIllison of pelican-bicycling fame - usually at the front of the curve in experimentation with new-generations of LLMs
