There was one motivational type article about how you should “go first” or “be first” when approaching problems in life. Like when making friends or just socially in general. I was looking for it again recently but couldn’t find it.

#62It was a post or discussion, I think involving Peter Thiel talking about how innovation is in the world of bits not atoms now and that implies some unpleasant things about our society.

#63There was a thread about sole founders who have experienced success. Notably, there was a someone who developed a resume software and was able to sell his company to the German government (if my memory serves right). Anyways, as the sole founder of a resume company, I found the story inspirational, yet I was never able to find the thread again. related, my company - https://rezi.io

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for

#64An article that provided a strong argument for why you should never stop reading, even if you forget most of what you read. There are a few articles I’ve found via Google on the same subject but they are not the one I saw on HN.
Maybe this is the article you are searching for -- It's Okay to "Forget" what you read (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15146715)

#65Someone mentioned a scifi short story with link to online version that I followed & read. The story was about a uploaded-human AI-spaceship that for a time worked as a asteroid miner. After a single overmind takes over 1st the inner planets, then the whole solar system, the protagonist to flee to insterstellar space, but is pursued by an overmind ship. Been trying to find the story/title/author since, with no success…
This book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-w...
If this isn't what the GP is referring to, it should be. I found this book and it's sequel a very fun and quick read.

#66Something about an algorithm designing circuits that shouldn't have worked, but did. I might be mixing another story, but I think it was using electrical interference from an outside source to accomplish its task.
I heard that from a hardware professor, but he way saying it was running calculations to generate electrical interference on the board to influence nearby (logically unrelated) calculations.
I think he was saying it was a genetic algorithm on an FPGA board. It was designing circuits by simulating them (in hardware), but if you actually tried to build the design in a custom chip it wouldn't work because you'd only have kept the circuit logic, not the interference properties.
