This helps with building, but how does it help with the learning? You don't understand how it was built, how it works out how to change our support it without an LLM. this is a very specific, narrow way of building.

I see people conflate computer science with computer programming regularly. If you are motivated to build things you probably want to pursue the latter, and dig in to understand how the things you use work. Maybe your want to go deeper acad

You're right, but the narrative out of these companies directly refutes this position. They're explicitly saying that 1. AGI changes everything, 2. It's just around the corner, 3. They're completely dedicated to achievin

How can you possibly say that crude is half of the pump price? The economics are incredibly complex and murky, and the price of gas doesn't move with any sort of linear relation to crude except in very long timeframes. Regional refinin

I don't disagree with your overall sentiment, but the last line feels off. Investment profile needs to be matched with returns, but they don't all need to be 5 year mega exits, and they don't need the same companies to be rac

Ok, now tell us how we differentiate across 10-person, pre-revenue startups. This advice is like buy low, sell high. Thanks.

Amazon made huge money as they captured more and more of the market and didn't return any of it. The company literally became worth more and more each year. Open AI continues to hemorrhage money.

People pay for the perceived value. If apple started by giving away iPhones they would balk at paying that much for them too. It's also very well know that free to anything is much harder than increasing the price

There are some big problems with this, mostly that openAI doesn't want to break even or be profitable, their entire setup is based on being wildly so. Building a Google sized business on ads is incredibly difficult. They need to be so

Of there 500M users a very small number are already paying, so it's not zero-to-one for all of them, but monetize more and take $10 a month to $100. It's unclear if this is easier or harder than what you presented, but both are ha

One I try to do (not always successful) is no eating after 9/8/whenever PM - no matter how hungry. You could make any variation you want, but the food we eat later tends to be bad for us, bigger portions and not really enjoyed, pl

You overly discount the intimidation of gyms, but I agree you can definitely find one that works for you. They range from young & beautiful to very specialized and accepting. I suggest you try a community run or neighborhood (doesn&#x27

You totally discount genetics. I know more "not fat" people who are very unhealthy than I do people who are mentally strong and dedicated to a fitness regime. They're just skinny with a different set of issues related to diet

I don't disagree with you, but also don't think (based on what you described) that you're a great example of the environmental components. Compared to say someone who hasn't known non fat as a norm for generations and do

We all - including you - know that's not going to happen; the onus is not on the customer to do this. Instead this project will fade into obscurity when the small group of advocates complete great school and get jobs in private industr

The author was/is so consumed with virtue signaling they spend zero effort actually educating. It was a non stop lecture until I stopped reading, which is really too bad.

Not until the very late 80s and 90s. Prior was dirt bags, bikers and sailors.

I'm 50 now and never got a tattoo; pretty happy because I'm not sure where I would have put it that hasn't bagged, sagged or disappeared.

They're definitely all human. We should all strive to pass tests like the ones jobs failed, but not hold anyone to their absolutes.

Has that changed, or are the political opinions they're delivering just not aligned with your belief system?

I don't see any real benefits, as it feels like using the tool you already know even though it's not quite right. Iceberg is maybe geared towards slower changing models than this approach?

Do you think they were all of the sudden going to dramatically start contributing? I see this more as symbolically shutting them out. Nothing in this ongoing situation is about more than optics now
