  4. Latest moves by PolyMarket are to begin offering "attention markets" aka users can take a position - otherwise know as a bet - on new metrics of "mindshare" (how much something is being talked about in social media) and "sentiment" (is this talk positive or negative).

    Examples: Will Anthropic’s mindshare be higher than OpenAI next month? or Will sentiment on Elon Musk go up this month?

    These new offerings are being developed by PolyMarket working with VC backed Singapore based social media data aggregator Kaito AI. forbes.com/sites/aliciapark/20 #AI #PolyMarket #KaitoAI #Betting #Gambling #MindShare #Sentiment #SocialMedia #Popularity #PublicOpinion #Trends #Brands #AttentionMarkets

  5.

  6. Orang-orang TikTok yang jenis macam selebriti ini. Kamu dapat ranking tinggi, kamu dapat banyak hadiah mahupun hadiah yang unik. Kamu dapat populariti yang tinggi. Dari mana juga duit itu datang? Dari narsisisme dan ego selebriti TikTok kah? Dari peminat juga. Layan mereka dengan baik-baik.

  7. TIOBE Software CEO Paul Jansen shares the numbers for November 2025 in its programming popularity index. It seems like C# is almost caught up with Java with a less than 1% difference between the fourth and fifth positions. Python continues to stand in a very comfortable first place.

    "TIOBE Index for November 2025 - Is C# going to surpass Java for the first time in history?"

  8. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    There are people who resemble popular songs: they are sung for a time and then forgotten.
     
    [Il y a des gens qui ressemblent aux vaudevilles, qu’on ne chante qu’un certain temps.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶211 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

  9. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    Temperance and abstinence, faith and devotion, are in themselves perhaps as laudable as any other virtues; but those which make a man popular and beloved are justice, charity, munificence, and, in short, all the good qualities which render us beneficial to each other.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-12-08), The Spectator, No. 243

  10. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    The Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 128 (1955)

  15. A quotation from Omar Khayyam

    We dabble in the Qur’án now and then,
    Read, and repent, yet fall from Grace again;
    But in the goblet is engraved a text
    That greets eternally the eyes of men.
     
    قرآن که بهین کلام خوانند اورا
    گه گاه نه بر دوام خوانند اورا
    در خطِ پیاله آیتی روشن هست
    کاندر همه جا مدام خوانند اورا

    Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
    Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 6 [tr. Talbot (1908)]

  17. A quotation from Addison

    A Man is glad to gain Numbers on his Side, as they serve to strengthen him in his private Opinions. Every Proselyte is like a new Argument for the Establishment of his Faith. It makes him believe that his Principles carry Conviction with them, and are the more likely to be true, when he finds they are conformable to the Reason of others, as well as to his own. And that this Temper of Mind deludes a Man very often into an Opinion of his Zeal, may appear from the common Behaviour of the Atheist, who maintains and spreads his Opinions with as much Heat as those who believe they do it only out of Passion for God’s Glory.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-10-02), The Spectator, No. 185

  18. Is #AlbionOnline declining in #popularity? I mean, it's not a hard game and when you go into a red zone or black zone you know what you are risking.

    I feel like Albion Online should become a gaming protocol, like make it #OpenSource and add it to #w3.

    It's just pure game mechanics, it doesn't feel like a game that much. Run around with your horse, join that yellow zone faction warfare.

    #FactionWarfare was for me the main way to make silver. Pure #zerg!

  19. You know what, I just realized that I don't like either. I don't like the smaller, more insular #tribalism and #exclusivity of #federated #microcommunities even if they are #opensource or not, and I don't like the traditional #social #media platforms that tend to emphasize #popularity , #trends , and a focus on gaining #attention and likes.

  20. All these recent "articles" and toots about #Python becoming the most #popular programming language on #Github are driving me nuts. And I say that as a long-time Python user and fan of the #language.

    Even if you could define what exactly "#popularity" is in relation to some Github #statistics, it is #meaningless and pointless.

    You know what matters in a #programming language?

    Does it enable you to #solve the #problems that need solving?

    Does it have tooling that meets your needs?

  21. 😶While we are still permitted #birthcontrol like an #iud this is great #news. They made #guidelines for #doctors to do the intensely painful procedure to #insert it.

    “The number of people opting for #intrauterinedevices — T-shaped birth control devices inserted into the uterus and known as #IUDs — is on the rise. As their #popularity has risen, so have the complaints about the #pain people experience during the #procedure.

  22. The thing that always gets me about #Trump is that, despite being a #narcissist and arguably a #sociopath, he is exceedingly concerned about not just his #reputation, but his #popularity.

    He thinks his strongest #attacks are when he points to one of his imagined #foes and shows how he is doing better in some random #poll than his would-be dragon slayer.

    I have #never seen someone so absolutely #obsessed with being #popular.

    And I did 4 years of high school.
