Agree that this is currently mainly just useful for news (and filtering out low-quality news sites) but it isn't quite there yet when it comes to researching start-up creation.

Exactly. I also think it's thinking about how much extra worth those time spend really benefits your life, compared to how much it creates noise in your brain.

I wonder if this also means future astronauts will have wifi when launching to moon/mars. Imagine watching watching a movie while taking off to somewhere distant

I can imagine that is type of things are the best possible way to visualize the scales that we are living in.

Would love to see something similar for bigger dimensions, e.g. distance to the nearest star, galaxy or exoplanet.

Same here, not using YouTube's built in search function eliminates most of the ad and also recommendations problems. I use You.com since they additionally show Reddit and TikTok results which I sometimes find more useful than YT videos.

Tens of millions of people have been waiting for years for GTA VI to release and i am pretty sure that despite this leak people will be extremly for it to launch.

Many mountain regions with beautiful hiking paths will remain disconnected from internet access for quite some time. So if you are fit enough, I strongly suggest to hike. You and everyone you are hiking with, will have no option to check mails or slack. It is also a great way to connect and spend time with family and friends.

Yes and I think it will especially push the boundaries of art forward like we have never seen before.

Also, it will be interesting to watch whether and how people will be assessing art created by AI. Will there be something like Connoisseurship for AI art?

I love this concept made by dance a rental e-bike startup from berlin. They offer their bikes in all major cities in europe now.

I would say bikeability is the best. If you live in any quiter regions of most mid- to large sized cities in western europe and scandinavia you will have access to a huge variety of possibilites, restaurants, bars etc. and can access everything relaviely quick, while living in a quiet area. Biking is also fun imo.

I have been getting great results with you.com and am downranking all the sites I don't find value in. Searching for shopping related queries has been a blast in comparison to Google.

Another thing, that some people are underestimating is that people can have way, way more impact by switching careers than just donating money. Knowledge, expertise and dedication is worth millions when it comes to finding solutions to pressing problems.

I like https://80000hours.org/ They go over this topic way more in depth and also have a job board of most impactful jobs.
