All the dot-com'ers here know of what she writes. Identical vibe. And as with dot-com, there is massive long term value to be created, but the early fundamentals are shaky as hell: "When we finally get inside E11even — even in a

Read Vogler’s The Writers Journey to learn basic mythological structure. Read The Art Spirit by Robert Henri to give yourself permission to be creative. Then write a novel.

Know how you’ll find the next Google? Same way those of us over 45 found this one. A respected friend or colleague will tell you that the next Google just works better. That’s what made Google search win: it just worked better. It’s now I f

They're a 38 year old metaphor. Neil Stephenson's Smartwheels don't exist either, and we still don't have "professional road surfers", but that doesn't make Snow Crash any less relevant: "Smartwheels

I’m constantly amazed at how Metaverse aficionados quote Snow Crash and and other 1990s works as cornerstones of cyberspace, when Gibson invented the term and Neuromancer was written in 1984. Gibson is the original. The passage where Case c

It is impressive how Apple ProRes has become the standard intermediate video format for creators. It absolutely dominates the industry as the most popular way to exchange high quality compressed footage during post production.

Don’t let them live rent free in your head. Innovation comes from a calm and quiet place. Focus on your customers and invent new ways to use your team’s unique superpowers to delight them.

I agree with the issues raised, but I'd say there are costs and risks associated with self-hosting, and those aren't factored into the post. Self-hosting will have the same appeal as off-the-grid power: It's expensive and tec

Interesting point from the same source: > For example, OpenSea serves most of the NFTs they mint over HTTP. If the OpenSea ever collapses, ~8% of NFTs vanish.

I still can't get over that NFT's are just a URL pointing to the data. They don't even have an on-chain hash of the digital asset. It's like selling a sign pointing to houses for the price of the house, and claiming you

Don’t obsess over this. It’ll distract you and stress you out, which comes with its own health risks. None of us get out alive anyway. Go live as healthy a life as you can, find happiness, and help others when the opportunity presents.

Good analogy. As long as oneweb can differentiate they’ll be fine. And as long as Starlink has vertically integrated launch, they’ll always have price as a differentiator. I would say that aws is a rich substrate upon which many businesses

In China, authority overcomes any friction and drives a project forward. In the US there is no authority and there is no common purpose or enemy. So thousands of self interested parties abuse the system in a very time consuming way. If a ma

The quality on this is really awful. Lighting mismatch on the neck, no atmospheric effects, voice sounds robotic, very little movement and it’s unnatural. It’s not even a useful PoC. It’s more like a meme. I think if it actually got some tr

This is the result of lazy, emotional, reactionary, populist journalism that doesn't do the work required to unearth new information, which is what real journalism is all about. Finding new relevant data is hard. Throwing up online is

Try passthrough on Oculus Quest 2 to get an idea of how easy this is to solve. It just uses the motion sensor cameras and it's pixelated and black and white, but you get some overlays and you can get a very good idea of how quickly thi
