“Exploiting” is the keyword here. You need to exploit the niche. A better example would be someone like 3Blue1Brown. You have to keep at it long enough and keep improving. Go check…

As much as extrapolating what characteristics should a job of the future satisfy, based on your past experiences/knowledge, is a reasonable idea. It is also reasonable to assume th…

I am just guessing here. Have you acted upon your ambitions yet, or do you get overwhelmed and depressed everytime the ambition shoots up (could be due of other startups, HN, frien…

Never said it was named after antariksha. Merely pointed out the possibility of a connection. Are we considering word formation and origin retracing a settled matter? Also just rea…

Not sure if it would be wise to dismiss the possibility so easily. We clearly do not know all the causal elements involved, plus I wouldn't be surprised if the name of the island i…

What do you mean by we know the source? At best, you can track the functional(mri) and structural(pet) aspects your brain if you take the neuroscience route, and the behavioural(cb…

I think this is an issue of interpretation.OP does say that mindfulness/exercise/stoicism are helpful and also talks about the sleep-stress deadlock. I think what they are saying i…

All technology is political. All politics is not political. Politics is a social technology.

Sleep well, Eliminate stress from life, get a decent job that allows you to explore things you want to do on side, spend time with family and lead a happy life. Note that this is a…

I wouldn't say everything, but I have encountered such people too. Extremely knowledgeable and always curious. It feels as if these guys somehow have more energy to expend than mos…

If it just about learning chip design then there are two ways you can go about it: 1. Get a job in a VLSI/EDA company(Qualcomm, Synopsys, Cadence, Intel etc) as a software engineer…

Silicon Ronin is at it again. This time to revolutionize the startup world and shake up the hold of big players.

Every thing about life is so fascinating. I have always wondered how viruses have persisted for so long if they need a host to survive and it took us millions of years to go from s…

If there is a normal order in societies, it must be the fruit of an anterior crisis. Things have to get ugly before they get better. Here’s to the greater good.

Never thought I would ever see this during my lifetime. Really well done. Has the quirky feel of Comic Sans, but with the flavor of fixed space mono fonts.

Ah! That makes sense. I realise that talking about complex concepts in terms of analogy can be misleading, but is it like the fabric is elastic and long enough and is only getting …

Forgive my ignorance here. What do we mean when we say the universe is expanding, expanding into what. My untrained brain is trying to look at it like the inflation of a balloon th…

Tbh, It might just be me, but I am starting to feel that the vanity of Material Design is also starting to fade away. People are moving towards other options. In fact, with so many…

I think the original comment was directed at the seemingly pretentious nature of the essay. How do you quantify earnestness? Being sincere? I get the “we like demo over slides”, “2…

Love the idea here. Would love to see how perishable items like current affairs do when posted anachronistically.

Definitely, may be not directly, but it lies at the heart of software engineering(or more appropriately computer science). It helps with thinking differently, for example I don’t k…

Although the degree of difficulty w.r.t a question may differ, I think being proficient in these concepts can get you a job. It’s just that most of us struggle with solving problem…
