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 themselves.

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 attention to the plank in your own eye?

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 solve, your brain will not grow and you will not learn.

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 responsibilities of managing others. It becomes challenging to make sound

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 automatic task synchronization with TickTick (where I mana

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 have is that if they publish content on the interne

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 post isn't as detailed as I've seen them

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 work paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meet. When you

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 these are unethical practices. Now, they don’t own a monopo

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 others) to become as fluent as you are in Bazel and working with

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 awesome technologies and provides a foundation to build on.

This simplification misses key nuances. Strategies like Tit-for-Tat (TFT) are context-sensitive and not universally "optimal." Effectiveness varies with game structure, communication clarity, and the presence of noise. Moreover, t

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 takes to maintain the image of self-control/respon

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 things or caretake existing things. Your soul represents th

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 self help books because my pride led me to believe that if I r

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 to four years working on self-control an

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-profit cap on the OpenAI business and re-align their strate

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. This allows the for-profit arm of OpenAI to grow much faster,

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 accepted it, but not until I decided to focus on my mental health

Eaton, I was a big admirer of yours back in the Xbox 360 modding scene, and envied your genius and dedication to things like FATXplorer and DevTool. We had common acquaintances (cas, teh1337) and I believe we may have worked together very b

> Why do all the CEOs come from the same handful of schools and have the same backgrounds? Is that the only way to acquire the skills? I don’t think this is the case. Sure, for most of the largest companies that is true, but that’s not

This is a mischaracterization of why CEO level pay for most companies is higher than the lower skilled workers. It’s supply and demand. The skills required to be an executive at a large company are very hard to find, so companies need to

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this (i.e. taking a video and creating a 3D scene) and I don't think that it is feasible in most cases to have good accuracy. If you need to infer the angle, you need make a lot of biased as

“Booters” are a cat and mouse game. They come and go fast, what’s on the first page of Google today will be removed tomorrow (metaphorically) and be replaced by another (random tech word).(newest TLD). It’s probably not worth CloudFlare’s t
