Subscript I probably won’t publish: Note that this is independent from “best things I’ve read every day” or a top of all time (though often items in the latter derive from these sources). Lifetimes in this collection follow a lindy effect, with current half-lifes at: —[9 months]—

  1. Once again inspired by https://www.benkuhn.net/blogroll/, but also driven by my old best reads with AMB 

  2. Hard to explicitly, tag because the best writers write about everything, the best engineering writers write about consequences and culture, a lot of AI writing is conjecture about systems, either for scaling or adoption. 

  3. For this reason I’d say those short for time should just read the best, which have something for everyone, and left some of the best sources, even when they’d at face be easier to organize (Vitalik, Lillian Weng) uncategorized.
