When I was taking ADHD stimulants I had my core dose (long release) and then a “top-up” dose (5mg instant release) every month. The guy who prescribed me initially may have been a bit of a quack (I had to leave him because my insurance drop

Zuck gets presentations with slides that say things like “XYZ feed ranking tweaks added 50 million net-new hours of time spent per day” Numbers like that can warp a person’s perspective

This only happened a few weeks ago so no one really knows how it will shake out. That being said— nothing seems to have changed with regard to pizza places offering direct delivery. The changes on “the apps” are very noticeable but direct o

Just for context Ackman’s 1.1B purchase would be worth about 2.25B today if he hadn’t sold it for 700M Of course that doesn’t mean it was a dumb trade but his rationale in the letter doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It has the vibe of som

Hey Dan Pretty surprising and sad that you would ban me for a comment like that. Reading it back three years later I’m not wildly proud about it but I don’t think it’s ban worthy. But I want to push back against the idea that this is not a

To be clear, the people who can run these models and worlds are also tethered to a PC. So the quest isn’t any worse than the competition. The complaint here seems to be that it isn’t better enough to justify… well something I’m sure

A funny side note here is that ~2018 Facebook was crushing it in terms of minutes/day/user due to auto play videos with good next-video recommendations. Then they decided explicitly to disable auto play. They even switched to a di

Substack doesn’t publish a list of all funded writers so we really don’t know if this is broadly true. Unsuccessful substacks don’t get much pub so it makes sense we wouldn’t have heard from them. That being said, it seems every writer I’m
