Acid jazz (also known as club jazz, psychedelic jazz, or groove jazz) is a music genre that combines elements of funk, soul, and hip hop, as well as jazz and disco.[1][2] Acid jazz originated in clubs in London during the 1980s with the rare groove movement and spread to the United States, Japan, Eastern Europe, and Brazil. Acts included The Brand New Heavies, D'Influence, Incognito, Us3, and Jamiroquai from the UK and Buckshot LeFonque and Digable Planets from the U.S. The rise of electronic club music in the middle to late 1990s led to a decline in interest, and in the twenty-first century, the movement became indistinct as a genre. Many acts that might have been defined as acid jazz are seen as jazz-funk, neo soul, or jazz rap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_jazz (more)

Retroactive continuity (Retcon) is a literary device in fiction whereby facts and events established through the narrative are adjusted, ignored, supplemented, or contradicted by a subsequently published work that recontextualizes or breaks continuity with the former.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity (more)

In historiography, historical revisionism is the reinterpretation of a historical account.[1] It involves challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional) scholarly views or narratives regarding a historical event, timespan, or phenomenon by introducing contrary evidence or reinterpreting the motivations of the people involved. Revision of the historical record can reflect new discoveries of fact, evidence, and interpretation as they come to light. The process of historical revision is a common, necessary, and usually uncontroversial process which develops and refines the historical record to make it more complete and accurate. Debate forms an essential part of the practice of history: in the words of Simon Schama: "History is argument".[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_revisionism (more)

Linear.app says Issue tracking is dead. It was built for a handoff model of software development. A PM scoped the work, engineers picked it up later, and the system filled with prioritization, negotiation, and workflows to bridge the gap. That ceremony came from real constraints. Engineering time was scarce. (more)

Verve Remixed is a series of albums released (beginning 2002) by Verve Records centered on the concept of classic Verve tracks, remixed by contemporary electronic music producers and DJs. The series has proven to be very popular, both with fans of the original recordings and with younger generations of music listeners, many of whom are exposed to the classic jazz and blues artists for the first time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verve_Remixed (more)

Ori Eldarov: Stop Building SaaS for SMBs—Buy Them Instead. TL;DR: Many founders have become excited about building software for the “untapped” SMB market, grossly miscalculating the difficulty they will face in both GTM and adoption. In this post, I will make the case that founders interested in SMBs have a way bigger (and less risky) opportunity in front of them—they can just acquire SMBs and build their dream tech around them. In fact, most Tier 1 VCs are already doing this in stealth. (He's talking mostly about people wanting to start an AI-based product company.) (more)

Nate B Jones: Run this 4-question test before you let any [AI] into your files, your Slack.com, or your phone. I think the news is pointing at one shift, and it is not the one the headlines are arguing about. The AI race is becoming a race to context. The question is no longer only “who has the smartest model?” It is who can put usable intelligence closest to the work in front of you. (more)
