People are looking for the AI bear case - so this headline gotta work better. Its not a bad idea haha. More people suspect there is some circular shenanigans but want confirmation -- so maybe this is the best way to…
> For most people "learn to code" is like telling programmers to "learn asm". This is such a good way to put it. I could learn asm maybe in a college course. But no other incentive. No one wanted to read asm. Now no one…
+1 that motivation reel on IG hit so hard... AI is likely correlation not causation. The generation that resonated with the self-help books has aged out. Short form vids on YT, TT, IG taking mind-share is likely the…
This is a good point. If there was timeless material, they would continue to sell. Maybe War of Art or Meditations still continue to sell. Deep Work is a joke.
if we get to the stage where the AI hardware is a more of a commodity and usability becomes 10x simpler, then people may buy their own hardware and run local models. Everybody owns a car, washer, TV, etc today. Maybe…
There is efficiency in the cloud model for models. So maybe there is a scope for Apple or an "Apple for AI" in the AI compute game - mainly from the perspective of privacy etc. And once the servers are in space,…
> You keep building on the last available version? yes but a sovereign can allocate some resources and a few people to stay in the loop from a first principles level. No need to wait for a rug pull. Of course, it can…
tried to read Prince and I assume it is a translation to English from Italian or whatever. Assuming that translation was done a while ago (100+ yrs?)... It is hard to read. I can understand it if I try. But the phrasing…
all that said.. most of the clothes are not so "branded"? Who cares if a GAP or something ends up in outlet or wherever..
That's a good point. Some of the (many) B2B companies in YC also get a decent start by selling to the other YC companies.
> The existence of people who succeed in pushing for inferior solutions, and managing to leave before it becomes clear Guess this is just random evolution at play. Some companies will pay a bigger price than others. And…
I personally agree with the premise to ship early, with some rough edges, etc. But teammates may not be supportive. You need the whole team to have that mindset/culture.
yeah there are ways, but is it good for your career lol Also the one person who has to review it before checking in needs to be resilient too
> have families, real estate, weird funky interests and hobbies Many people would rather have these^ but stay stuck in cities/downtowns despite knowing it is only delaying the inevitable for them.
It is good only if the whole team believes it. If the team mates have a different mindset, they see it as half baked or hacky. And if there is ever some bad feedback, they just use it as a "I told you so" and throw you…
After reading this comment, I feel leaning into the cosplaying will make me more productive/prolific. Many things I do not push thru on are because they seem superficial or a bit fake. Does not apply to all ppl but…

my thinking is that NW does not have to be tracked in a way that the double entries zero out. Every six months, I just open the 3-4 brokerages and banks and make an entry in a spreadsheet for…
These days, I find it is doable 2-3 times a year. Its a lot of work at one shot but somehow able to catch up so as to review the main spending accounts. The zeroing is what attract me still. I get to see some patterns…
The hard part has been to import all the accounts and to categorize the transactions on the 1-2 cards and 1-2 checking accounts that get used a lot. However doing hledger motivated me to simplify things. Either delete…
The negative externality of EV car manufacturing seems net worse (today) per car. Harsher chemicals, more mining, more processing, lesser life of a car and battery, less mature tech so more wastage, etc. Tesla might be…
that's an interesting point. A echo chamber could lead to fatigue and boredom. Reels is able to keep me engaged because it is able to surface similar content I would like but from different users. And they have such a…
> EV car production is likely worse or equal to ICE car production at each step Does anyone feel otherwise? Is the net carbon and environmental footprint really lower over the entire lifecycle per car for an EV? Not…
That's my point about ICE not innovating enough. And of course hybrid would be one of the innovations. Also it should have more electronic luxuries and connectivity to match the newly designed EVs. Hybrids would carry a…
