Agree but topping out is similar to saying that the slope changes. Maybe after hitting 75k, it takes another $400k to make an appreciable difference. It may take a another $40mm to make a difference at $750k (100x for a 10x change)

The pro is that chatGPT would probably quickly surface many okrs the user would not have thought of, and could answer questions about the pros and cons. It could also answer questions about how many wild be suitable and sub okr that may fee

That could just be part of the secular trend of re-assessing the records of "conquerors" across the world. Some people consider Napoleon, Alexander and so on to be glorified warlords who happened to win but are essentially mass mu

If that’s what prompted this I can see why you recommend videos. It’s the #1 recommendation for any startup advice source. But … you must have come across it before. What made you not pursue it? ie why was it a blind spot?

The issue I have here is that it’s not clear how to identify the mini games to improve. This is an article of where blind spots might be but not about how to find them. One of the suggestions is to find a coach — for instance online videos

Yeah but it seems strange: make a law that you cannot speak against the government and of course we politely obey and keep quiet. Ask us to remove something and we will debate it, fight it and expose it. I think the second approach is right

The myth of the myth of the myth of the 10x programmers. This is just argument by assertion. You would still hope someone would demonstrate the existence of 10x programmers. A lot of these one-off anecdotes in the comments are closer to 1.3

"Every damn body" knows this in retrospect. At the time -- when we were washing our groceries and we weren't sure if the IFR was 1% or 10%, and if it was airborne or if it was morphing into something worse -- our new reality

Doesn’t it seem that if there were an online marketplace or app for slavers we could easily find it, see screenshots etc? I doubt it exists but subservience — or near slavery — is everywhere. I see Mexicans working in very subservient condi

This is frustrating: Consider this: LeCun, 2022: Today's AI approaches will never lead to true intelligence (reported in the headline, not a verbatim quote); Marcus, 2018: “deep learning must be supplemented by other techniques if we a

The title of this has Tailwind alternative in it. At this point around 100% of the comments are about the comparison to tailwind. However, open-props never mentions tailwind. That simple mis-title has hijacked the convo.

Love these ads. There were almost as many computer companies back then as there are crypto currencies now. For a mere $1595, you got a 16k computer with microsoft basic but the best part is that it comes with 2 Z80 chips. Not sure how much

I was trying to destroy my own innocence around then, but sadly I was less successful than I would have hoped. I did think about going to Woodstock to get it destroyed, but thought it might be too corporate for said innocence destruction. T

Not sure why people thing Google does not have a help function. I think it is obvious at this point that reddit and hacker news are Google's help desks but people do need to vote up the relevant tickets to get priority attention.

My biggest mistake: years ago I ended pushing personal credentials to GitHub at night and waking up to a several thousand dollar bill in the morning. Changed credentials and cancelled all the running instances only to find that I’d missed s

I feel for the rather confused and well meaning non-subcontinent related people who have waded into a culture war. In South Asia - especially India — the moghuls are a loaded topic at the moment. There is an extreme right wing government th

Wait, when people disagree with you on an issue then they downvote you. However, when you are talking about the same government, when they agree with you, will upvote you? This, right here, is a broken system. People should only be able to
