A sample ‘use-case’ given:
“AngelList is remote first, and part of why it has been able to #scale is because of its focus on #documentation. Notion is where all this documentation lives — providing #guardrails for #structure, while also allowing teams to #customize based on how they want to share #teamspecific info.”
never used Notion, but a 10m read of their site, I see why it’s confusing. It’s a SAS for online businesses.
In SAS (big arse German accounting software Co.) you have consultants who do a business analysis of your work, create the product using s/w to customise input/reporting forms. And it works. Teams would do this, take months, years to do it.
Notion lets everyone define their use in what SHOULD be a ‘single product’ with API and software Wizards to build a custom use.
As it stands users are sold a bunch of vegetables. Now build your custom soup 😫🤓🤪

You reached 1 million seconds when you were about 11.5 days old.
When you are about 31.7 years old – you will reach your first billion seconds.
Given that, if you live to about 62 years old – you will have reached ONLY your second billion seconds.
It is unlikely you will ever see 1 trillion seconds. If you do, you will be about 31.7 years old

I just finished #Scale by #GregEgan and, as usual, I'm left with a hurty brain but also an intriguing story.
Here's an intro to it: https://www.gregegan.net/SCALE/SCALE.html
So, yeah, wild premise that's not fantasy it's (very) #HardSF :
https://www.gregegan.net/SCALE/01/ScienceOfScale.html
(WARNING - heavy physics in that linky.)
So there's all that but the actual story is far more about the human condition, politics, fear, love, community. Egan's use of scale is an ingenious invention that will make you ponder 'what if.'
If you ever replace an iPhone and use a Wyze scale: on restoring from a backup it turns off integration with Apple Health and your data is no longer automatically transferred.
You need to tap into the scale and then the settings gear icon to re-enable it.

Basta un gesto distratto, uno sguardo in fuga o un pensiero nebbioso perché un mondo si sgretoli. La caduta dei piaceri, il dominio di una breve reclusione, l'immobilità beffarda.
Cadere è anche assaporare l’impotenza.
E tutto rinasce.

And that's that for Horton (2020)!
Okay. Lots to think about in there. Some examples of frustrating postmodern wordiness, but enough insight and more clearly worked through ideas about scale to be well worth the read.
There has been at least one other major publication on scale in the past few years (DiCaglio) to figure out. But finding a way to think clearly on #scale is *vital* for #CognitiveScience, which is, to be honest, a mess on this front.
p.218:
Lucy is an invitation to loosen our grip on the human subject, not merely through consciousness of radically nonhuman, multiscalar ecology, but additionally through an openness to reconceiving subjectivity as existing between scales, an openness to dissociation, to inhabiting the loop in which scalar processes compose the subjects that compose scales that compose new subjects."

p.217:
"Far from the neoliberal dream of unfettered, resource-free production, this is a messy, sticky process; messy because it admits of no central control, and sticky because everything that is created incorporates the creator(s) and the site of creation "
p.216:
"the recursive self would be multiscalar in its perspectival register. Like the train-hopping itinerants of American folklore, the recursive self would be, by necessity, scale-nomadic. But also like them, it would be free to follow the trans-scalar infrastructures of its milieu, to hop a ride when necessary and thereby trace a continuity between non-contiguous scales."
