   I am (was??) an ultra runner and startup founder, and I love this type of approach to work and life. If you're going to put hours into things, why not try to make it your best? To be clear, I suck at ultrarunning -- I can do 100km ru

   I personally believe that nuclear fusion is a necessity for long-term survival of humanity -- I'm talking centuries out. I am not a physicist (humble startup dude / engineer / sales guy). Is there anything someone like me can

   I generally agree with you + hate the general trend of "coaches" on the Internet. That being said, I am a former client of Ed Batista's (the author) and he is the real deal. He's been coaching startup/tech CEOs for

   This isn't the first new image of Neptune in the last 30 years. Astronomers have imaged Neptune since Voyager, and the Hubble Space Telescope was used for this as well. See here: https://hubblesite.org/contents/med

   Wow! If anyone is curious as to why Triton is so bright... > Covered in a frozen sheen of condensed nitrogen, Triton reflects an average of 70 percent of the sunlight that hits it. It far outshines Neptune in this image because the plane

   On the one hand, I am inclined to agree with you... On the other hand, having spent time with large language models (LLMs) and GPT-3 in particular, there really is an art to writing prompts, structuring them, etc. I find it hard to defend a

    I love the idea of going to universities for open talks. I stopped doing that after grad school and you've reminded me that there's no need for me to stop. Thank you!

    To be 100% clear, I have no problem selling my software or building connections in my industry. I know how to build a following for my software. I'm specifically asking about finding likeminded people who ARE a peer group. I am not ask

    Thanks. In general I like your idea but this community is rubbing me the wrong way. I personally don't want to be sold courses or books, and don't like the "passive income" or "we'll give you 800 ideas" pi

    Spoiler Alert The idea that rich people have access to more compute power in the cloud, and can experience more compute cycles per minute (and thus have more experiences in a metaverse!), is exactly how I see a dystopian universe based on

    I think the concepts were pretty neat, I agree. However, it felt like two books in one. I will admit that I'm not a fantasy reader -- aside from LOTR, I'm not a big fan of the genre. Spending so much time on that was just not inte

    Yes, 100%. I can't name companies specifically, but I know a few where VC-backed startups ended up buying out their VCs and bootstrapped their way to a modest success. The reasoning was simple: VC invested a Seed or Series A, 5 years l

    Could you clarify what you use PARA for and what benefits this has provided for you over the years? It feels like an immense investment of time and energy. In hindsight, has it led to new projects? More creativity? Another outcome? Or am I
