Most people under 40, 30 and even 20 I know are on Instagram, and many under 40 and 30 are on Facebook. Maybe it varies with country, education level or some other factors.

It appears LLMs are much better at writing during a debate than when explicitly asked to write. The moment LLMs are tasked with composing a blog article or intro for a book they introduce all the nuances that identify the output as AI slop.

I have always been pro fundamentals. It caused me trouble early in my career with bosses that didn’t understand why I would spend time trying to understand how something worked at a low level if I was a high level user. But then knowing the

I feel I’ve been left behind because all I use is Agents.md / Claude.md and Project.md. No skills, no tools. Everything I want my agent to do is specified in those two files. I also have a particular directory and file structure for th

My understanding is some of it about 20% is intragovernmental,like borrowed from SS. Not that it doesn’t matter, but the 100% left is what sets the interest rates. The other 20% will start moving into the 100% public debt at some point. So

It just takes a bit of reading about American history to know that we have had authoritarian phases pretty much since our independence. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson policies against freedom of speech, native Americans and international t

In my experience having room in the house, not having to cook dinner, not having to go grocery shopping, never have to clean the house, travel comfortably and have a full time nanny, makes a lot of a difference. You save a lot of time that

There’s never a right time to have kids. But having them older has its perks. You are much more calmed, patient, you are wiser and likely financially stable. Throwing money at problems definitely makes life 10X easier when you have kids, so

Being a dad is fulfilling enough that I don’t want to do anything else but hang out with my kids. Perhaps that’s what Paul Graham meant when he said kids make you less ambitious? And I know the day will come when they won’t like to hang ou

The way I understand it is, these fabs have massive overheads so not selling is not an option. It is also relatively easy to pivot production from enterprise to consumer. Now if they all start doing that at the same time to stay in business
