ChatGPT search vs. Google: A deep dive analysis of 62 queries A detailed analysis of ChatGPT search and Google's performance across 62 queries, with scoring metrics and practical examples.

Very interesting article. It shows that SearchGPT, and likely all LLM-based search tools, still have to improve significantly to compete with Google search in usefulness and trustability

Our biological response to threat kicks in twice as quickly, lasts twice as long and is twice as strong as our response to reward.

Antipattern: accidentally increasing threat and not intentionally aligning incentives (behavioural norms not clear, objectives still via role silos)

This Chrome Extension Uploads All Your Old Tweets to Bluesky If you're migrating from X to the friendlier skies of Bluesky, you don't have to leave everything behind—Porto is an extension for Chromium browsers that imports all of your old tweets to Bluesky auto...

I copied all my tweets to Bluesky with Porto and it worked pretty well. Two caveats though:
1) It only covers original tweets, not retweets or citations
2) It does not preserve the original date

Sorry about that. I used a browser plug-in to copy all my tweets over to Bluesky and unfortunately it did not preserve the dates. This article seems to be gone now

Michael Green: What the Social Progress Index can reveal about your country The term Gross Domestic Product is often talked about as if it were “handed down from god on tablets of stone.” But this concept was invented by an economist in the 1920s. We need a more effective measurement tool to match 21st century needs, says Michael Green: the Social Progress Index. With charm and wit, he shows how this tool measures societies across the three dimensions that actually matter. And reveals the dramatic reordering of nations that occurs when you use it. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.
