I think it's a balance. In some cases, the act of giving means much more to the giver than to the receiver, especially when they want to be a part of something larger than themselv…

Perhaps you are miserable because you are reinforcing your brain to only look for the flaws in others? > Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no at…

I think the author’s point is that by exposing oneself to feedback, you are on the receiving end of the growth in the case of error. If you hand off all of your tasks to ChatGPT to…

I’m in this position now. The longer I’ve been in it, I’ve come to realize can be summarized as: You experience some the benefits of being a manager but bear all the responsibiliti…

Obsidian's plug-in ecosystem is fantastic. I've used Obsidian for three years as a replacement for Notion, and I have never used the Graph mode. My Obsidian plugins enable automati…

You're missing the bigger picture. It isn't free to put content on the Internet. At a bare minimum, you have infrastructure and bandwidth costs. In many cases, a goal someone may h…

For those who aren't in the video game development field and like technical content, I cannot recommend watching GDC's content enough (even better, attending!). Although this blog …

> When attached to an EBS–optimized instance, General Purpose SSD (gp2 and gp3) volumes are designed to deliver at least 90 percent of their provisioned IOPS performance 99 percent…

Imagine you're studying for a test where you are given an image and need to answer the correct class. To prepare, you're given a deck of flashcards with an image on the front and t…

The point you are missing is that many of us do not have big tech careers. I am very fortunate to have a big tech career, but before I was hit by a stroke of luck, I was doing gig …

You have a fair point in that a native experience will more than likely keep privacy in mind and have more resources to produce a potentially better experience. The concern is that…

I have taken a thorough look at the source and I very much enjoyed it. The project highlights the utility of Bazel more than I have seen before. How long did it take you (and other…

Disregarding all of the negative sentiment and claims of this repeating old work, I must say the source code is very fun to go through. The code is well-structured, integrates many…

This simplification misses key nuances. Strategies like Tit-for-Tat (TFT) are context-sensitive and not universally "optimal." Effectiveness varies with game structure, communicati…

Having self-control can give a false sense of self-righteousness, and if you're not careful, this will lead to you eventually caring about how you look and you will do whatever it …

Here's an analogy that I think about from time to time. Imagine your life as a garden. You have a finite amount of days, with a finite amount of resources per day to plant new thin…

You're right. I never said it was an unbiased perspective, so let me make it clear. The post was intended to help those who were like me. When I wrote the post, I wrote it as if I …

I have no affiliation with the author of the book and stand to gain nothing from helping others. I still stand by my choice of The Daily Stoic. I resented the thought of reading se…

This is something I've noticed in myself and I'm glad there's research to back this, although this is an open secret to those who do master self-control. I've spent the last three …

This is laughable. People are focusing on the aspects of where Sam Altman and team are going, and less on the fact that it is even more clear that this was a move to remove the non…

Microsoft gave Sam and the for-profit arm of OpenAI a paved road towards a much larger GPU supply and access to other resources, much quicker than OpenAI could procure naturally. T…

As a recommendation from someone who suffered this way too long, your way of thinking is why you only store the bad memories. I often thought “I’m just a negative person” and accep…
