Lots of info is shared there first. It shows up in news articles and podcasts 12-24 hours later. Not everything shared there is true, of course, so one has to do diligence. But it definitely surfaces content that wouldn't show up if I

What does it mean to have someone on a chronological feed, versus the algorithmic one? Does that mean a chronological feed of the accounts they follow? I hardly ever use that, since I don't follow many people, and some people I follow

Is this because of his comp package, and the moonshot incentives it creates?

Yeah I'll be taking their articles with a grain of salt for the near future. Hopefully a one-time blip. And hopefully they know that their audience is particularly sensitive to screwups like this.

Yeah, should apply there for sure. I wonder if Democratic politicians would want to go on conservative talk shows, though. My general understanding is that Republican politicians are more often refused speaking slots on non-Right media, whe

Fox News is doesn't use airwaves, so it's not subject to this requirement.

Doesn't apply to news shows. The key question is whether late night shows are news shows.

I think this isn't quite what "privilege" means, at least these days. People talk about "white privilege" for example, meaning that people who are white can do XYZ or avoid ABC, unlike other people. In the example t

I thought about this. IIRC a person's voice sounds deeper in his own head because it reverberates in his skull. if anything, this would make David think the NotebookLM voice sound less like his (since his is already deeper, to begin wi

I've listened to tens of hours of NotebookLM, and this doesn't even seem close. If someone had played his voice for me and asked if it sounded like any LLM/bot I was aware of, I would have said no. It would not have even occu

In the case of hallucinated quotes, I think the more important aspect is to describe how this happened, whether the author is a regular contributor, how the editors missed it, and what steps are being taken to prevent it from happening in t

I don't think I understood the distinction between being a "pure indie solo hacker" and "indie entrepreneur"/"indie salesman". Are you saying that one cannot make a living just hacking around?

I do. The battery life on our units varies depending on the amount of foot traffic that they see. One is at our front door, where package deliveries and entry/egress trigger 5-10 times daily, and the other is in our backyard, where it

The situation with the Nancy Guthrie disappearance and Nest camera footage is related, and interesting. It seems that she had a Nest doorbell camera, but didn't pay for the subscription plan ($100/yr?). As a result, the camera rec

This assumes that you can actually maintain a 3 second follow distance. On some roads, you simply cannot, and an attempt to maintain such a distance leads to increased danger from all the cars that cut in. Simply put: follow distance is not

Curious to know how you think AI/vibecoding will affect the solopreneur path. On the one hand, it could make it accessible to many more people, who previously couldn't have built a business alone because they lacked coding skills.
