I know people like this, theres a form of procrastination where they are busy hyperoptimising their todo lists and workflows but getting only a tiny amount of actual work done. It's a form of the disconnected intellect - they can tell

If it requires me to leave the house, that increase in friction will mean I will vote maybe on 1/100th what I would otherwise vote on. I suspect pretty much everyone is the same

Im no expert but my gut feeling is that theres more than 1 reason people have kids. In "richer" western countries one of the strongest factors in that decision is "will my child have a good life" - that seems pretty sane

And now it's become an anti-signal. If I search for a hotel the top N results are for other hotels, and then results for travel agents, and buried somewhere in this sea of uselessness is the result I searched for. The managers at Googl

A day or two is nothing. Building these relationships takes time. When I finished raising my pre-seed round I had a big list of investors that I had talked to, some a warm, some said no, some said yes. I always asked them if I could put the

Yes, and it’s now up to us as managers to engineer that ebb and flow as part of the process. Don’t assign too much work all the time. Make sure that the employees feel excited and rewarded for their hard work (don’t just dump another pile o

Yes sure, dev containers inside each project, that way the entire environment (debugger, all ide plugins for linting etc) are standard across all devs and the coding environment matches prod exactly IDE is cursor

I use debuggers heavily, I code like Carmack does - I basically live in the debugger. The REPL at breakpoints is already integrated into my IDEs (all of the different ones) for the last 20 years, I couldn’t imagine a debugger without this f

This is what has excited me for many years - the idea I call "scientific refactoring" What happens if we reason upwards but change some universal constants? What happens if we use Tao instead of Pi everywhere , these kind of fun

Also way too biased to humans, the fact that they poison us could just be a biochemistry coincidence, the author is operating from a very human-centric POV (like you say in (0))

Don’t worry about it - you know why? Because if the entire thing crashes, then everyone crashes with it, and there’s a million people (or more) that have a lot more skin in the game, a lot more power, and therefore a lot more incentive to m

This is the problem with this, in simple cases like “you add N employees” then you can vaguely approximate it, like they do in the article. But for anything that’s not this trivial example, the person who knows the value most accurately is

Yeah, the truth is that you need all of these things to be “good enough” The idea has to be good enough, the execution has to be good enough and then the connections will come, The idea that the system is rigged against someone personally i

But the problem is the tight coupling of prompts to the models. The half-life of prompt value is short because the frequency of new models is high, how do you defend a moat that can half (or worse) any day a new model comes out? You might g

A lot of the western world is focused on "alert problem solving mode", which is great, because it's given us all of these technological advances. But I think in the future we should explore more of these altered states, becau
