Correlation does not equal causation as the old adage goes. Just because if you havent seen the pattern, doesn't mean it can't. It is like insurance, 99.95% of the time you don't need it. But when you do, you wish you had it.

Obsidian.md for the win. I used to use evernote way back when they started, was cool software, then they started scaling and added worst search UI I have ever come across. That day, I deleted my account and went markdown with my own storage

Have you ever met someone who recently had a severe stroke or suffers dementia? Their sense of self can be completely lost by such trauma. Sure they still have identity in the memories of others. But I'd say one must distinguish identi

Yannic Kilcher did an explainer recently on his YT channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A8ljAkdFtg Yannic explains these models pretty well.

You need a really good team and MlOps/DevOps pipeline to bring world class chatbot support and performance. I think there is still opportunity in this space, but you need Apple Level Design care to make it work.

I find it challenging to choose one but Andrew Huberman's podcast is exceptional. Latest in neuroscience/neurobiology which is accessible to the general public. From topics like sleep, anxiety, learning, performance etc. I have le

100% this. From what I heard Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, completely disallowed their kids to use of smartphones until they were much older and independent. When there is no skin-in-the-game, one must ask why, do they do this?

Slippery slope, slowly conditioning people, and before you know it. Only a select few may have the ability to use general computers. Speculation, but plausible. I'd look at the broader trends, not just this one event. Rather, the serie
