My rule of thumb is it should be applied within the next week. Even most theoretical books have an application in some form. Can it be played with like AI? Would it unlock other insights like philosophy? If I'm skimming through a book

This is almost exactly how free mobile games function these days. The business model works because it's printing its own currency, which is worth maybe 3 min of grind, instead of the real thing where it might be closer to $0.04.

I'm not a big fan of Rocket, but I think that's an unfair way to put it. I'd say they're similar to what Bezos would be like if he had to start from Europe lol. They take an existing model with a lot of potential and foc

Have you heard of Rocket Internet? It's one of the most successful models in the world. They may avoid the US market and such, but most of the unicorns in Malaysia are backed by Rocket. And most of the people who stay and start their o

These things do work and created a few unicorns here in Malaysia. The catch is that they're usually very bureaucratic as it's public funds, and the more corruption, the more rules there are. Someone might say, come in from New Zea

It depends very much on your definition of success. Many who grew up upper middle class would define survival as failure.

I usually compare them as sharks vs bottom feeders. Either you become the predator that eats all the big fish. Or you go somewhere the big fish won't go. There's the 'crab' model, but this isn't for startups. They&#

Yup, that's AI for you. People will talk about vibe coding being crap and stuff and the challenge now is whether your fundamentals are good enough. Before AI, we'd give template code with the tech stack we're using and expect

I would love to know how YouTube does this for music. There's some holes obviously, like some cover artists will play the iconic riffs of a song and then stop somewhere. There's people who do reels or "commentary" of a m

Sounds like there's market demand for a consultant that builds the sales engine then. A lot of people don't know what to say, how to say it, who to approach.

Thanks. This is brilliant and makes so much sense, but it's not something I would have searched for. This also plays along very well with OP's question. I personally always thought that AI makes me think a lot more but maybe that&

Doesn't Android have a lot of accessibility options built in? I know Material Design certainly does, but many apps don't use it. Maybe use it in a similar manner to fully blind people.

Most of it is extrapolation. Yes, it'll triple productivity. But from what we've seen with frameworks etc, that just ends up creating jobs. We work more hours today than before the computers came in. The other problem is the unfor

Cursor include an agent that can write code for you, fix errors on its own. Copilot is mostly autocomplete. Cursor is far superior at indexing files, i.e. knowing which part of the code does what. This is probably their special sauce. There

They can be absolutely vicious if they wanted to. The early versions (GPT-2, GPT-3, etc) were. They act this way because it's safe, it doesn't panic people. Gemini once said "just die" once which is perfectly in line wit
