Hacker News Reader

I've been reading all my news on Saturday, I didn't know what happened with SamA at OpenAI for an entire week while it was all anyone would talk about. I just waited until my Saturday slot and now I know probably as much as anyone.

I feel this designated intervals approach is working well for me. You slow down and don't clutter your mind, but at the same time you don't miss anything and probably absorb greater amount of information in a much shorter time.

I wish someone would make a good weekly digest World News newsletter.

Every year I look for one, and every year I come up empty handed. Every newsletter is daily at a minimum.

The Wikipedia portal is daily but easy enough to scroll through occasionally.

I have a simple script I run to turn this into a daily newsletter: https://github.com/kimberli/wikinews

Happy to also add you to the recipient list!

Economist has a decent round-up for the week. https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief

They usually don't cover tech that much, but it's reasonably good politics and business.

What's your news source for these Saturdays?

That hasn't changed from before, just regular ones everyone uses.

FT, WSJ, NYT, one Indian paper from back home. I don't read all of course, just pick the ones I want to read from RSS reader and any interesting things I come across on HN and some subreddits, also via RSS.

You are a value investor instead of a day trader :-)
