I have cracked other joints as well. I have stopped doing the neck and the spine tho - that seems not worth the risk. I had a particularly annoying joint that I have completely sto…

the FIFA branding on the EA game was gone and EA still came out well. So UEFA could learn something from that situation.

you guys made the case better in 2 comments - the original article is bloated and misses these key aspects.

> If anything it's a miracle that the US economy is so efficient that we can just skip all the small talk and bullshit and build out the infrastructure to support AI immediately. T…

People are looking for the AI bear case - so this headline gotta work better. Its not a bad idea haha. More people suspect there is some circular shenanigans but want confirmation …

> For most people "learn to code" is like telling programmers to "learn asm". This is such a good way to put it. I could learn asm maybe in a college course. But no other incentive…

+1 that motivation reel on IG hit so hard... AI is likely correlation not causation. The generation that resonated with the self-help books has aged out. Short form vids on YT, TT,…

This is a good point. If there was timeless material, they would continue to sell. Maybe War of Art or Meditations still continue to sell. Deep Work is a joke.

if we get to the stage where the AI hardware is a more of a commodity and usability becomes 10x simpler, then people may buy their own hardware and run local models. Everybody owns…

There is efficiency in the cloud model for models. So maybe there is a scope for Apple or an "Apple for AI" in the AI compute game - mainly from the perspective of privacy etc. And…

> You keep building on the last available version? yes but a sovereign can allocate some resources and a few people to stay in the loop from a first principles level. No need to wa…

tried to read Prince and I assume it is a translation to English from Italian or whatever. Assuming that translation was done a while ago (100+ yrs?)... It is hard to read. I can u…

all that said.. most of the clothes are not so "branded"? Who cares if a GAP or something ends up in outlet or wherever..

That's a good point. Some of the (many) B2B companies in YC also get a decent start by selling to the other YC companies.

> The existence of people who succeed in pushing for inferior solutions, and managing to leave before it becomes clear Guess this is just random evolution at play. Some companies w…

I personally agree with the premise to ship early, with some rough edges, etc. But teammates may not be supportive. You need the whole team to have that mindset/culture.

yeah there are ways, but is it good for your career lol Also the one person who has to review it before checking in needs to be resilient too

> have families, real estate, weird funky interests and hobbies Many people would rather have these^ but stay stuck in cities/downtowns despite knowing it is only delaying the inev…

It is good only if the whole team believes it. If the team mates have a different mindset, they see it as half baked or hacky. And if there is ever some bad feedback, they just use…

After reading this comment, I feel leaning into the cosplaying will make me more productive/prolific. Many things I do not push thru on are because they seem superficial or a bit f…

> SO was by far the leading source of high quality answers to technical questions We will arrive on most answers by talking to an LLM. Many of us have an idea about we want. We rel…

my thinking is that NW does not have to be tracked in a way that the double entries zero out. Every six months, I just open the 3-4 brokerages and banks and make an entry in a spre…

These days, I find it is doable 2-3 times a year. Its a lot of work at one shot but somehow able to catch up so as to review the main spending accounts. The zeroing is what attract…

The hard part has been to import all the accounts and to categorize the transactions on the 1-2 cards and 1-2 checking accounts that get used a lot. However doing hledger motivated…

The negative externality of EV car manufacturing seems net worse (today) per car. Harsher chemicals, more mining, more processing, lesser life of a car and battery, less mature tec…
