I use Listary, which seems to do something similar. Is there a good reason to switch?

I'm genuinely curious, and I know this can get political quickly, but I mean this in good faith. The wealth that people like Bezos or Musk have—did it only come into existence because they created their companies? In other words, if th

I wish the article dug in to the role that unionized labor plays in the productivity of US ports.

I have an iPad and use notability for this. I have a 350 page note that's filled with to-dos, doodles, screenshots of quotes, etc. I love being able to just scroll up endlessly to see what I was thinking about or working on, all in ch

I started learning to code this year, and I keep thinking that I would have thrown in the towel if not for ChatGPT. For better or for worse. The big difference for me is being able to struggle right up until I'm ready to give up, and

I second this recommendation. It's a wonderful book. There are many fascinating tidbits in here that makes you really appreciate the importance of being able manipulate materials with precision. It's easy to take this for granted

I agree. I happen to sell the same things on my (pretty good!) Shopify store as well as on Amazon. Amazon outsells about 2000:1. The reason why is simple -- it's traffic. If you can get traffic on your own, say with a giant social fo

Does anyone know how this fits with (or not) Chomsky's ideas of language processing?

I get the sense that Chomsky didn't actually test his examples ChatGPT before declaring that it can't handle them.

I started out reading the article thinking the author was going to say that it's all vaporware, but he doesn't at all.

I second this. It's really stunning what you can learn by logging an hour or two a day. I really like to add Anki to my daily practice routine. I take advantage of screenshotting and jot my notes in Anki in a questions/answer fo

Zoom in on a small section of sky and toggle between James and Hubble. James reveals many additional galaxy in each tiny slice of image. Probably hundreds or more in that one image alone.

Way to point out a tiny “error” in an article about trying to overcome the fear of being nitpicked.

I don’t disagree with your point, but I think it doesn’t take the following in to account: Wealth is not a fixed sum. The global GDP increases over time, which I interpret has new wealth being created. If Elon hadn’t created his businesses,

I’ve been focused on mechanical building the last 2 years. I learned Solidworks, Blender, 3d printing, cnc, and resin casting. Now I am taking woodshop, and trying to learn more about mechanism design. Learning more about materials is alway

Are you sure your account is accurate? According to the Forbes article below, bidding at the end of the auction closed with a high bid of approx. $270. Since the auction closed people have made additional offers, the highest so far is $29k

For sure, you're right. I'm talking about base rates. The curve of human experience has shifted dramatically in a positive direction over time. So if a genie said to your unborn self, pick and era to be born into and I'll

I think Steven Pinker's book Enlightenment Now made a compelling case that the world now has basically never been better. You'd be crazy to wish be born in to any other time period. I find that comforting. There's good reaso

I'm actually making a new toy in the US partially in response to the shipping backlog. The US is the second largest manufacturer in the world behind China (I find lots of people don't know that). As long as you design things tha

I own a wholesale toy business and the entire cost increase for us is ocean freight. A 40’ container from Asia used to cost 3k, now it’s 12k to 15k (and takes months longer). If a 40’ container can carry 10k units, that’s a unit cost increa

Well said. A great book that covers this (and suggests ways to practice retrieval) is called Make It Stick. I highly recommend it.

I did this recently for a vacation. I asked what would make me miserable on this trip? And solved for those things. It's amazing how good of a time you can have by just avoiding the biggest and most obvious pitfalls.

I learned blender last year to a pretty good level entirely on YouTube. I recommend using the hot keys (arrow keys to skip, shift+carrots to increase playback speed). I also highly recommend using Anki and creating flash cards as you go. Wi

I own a consumer goods business and sell via Amazon and traditional retailers. Amazon's 30% to 40% fee is much less than traditional retail, which starts at 50%. Amazon is where I get my best margins.

I had a similar experience coming out of a literature degree. After a break I ended up reading “trash” novels for a while to get back in to things. It didn’t fully work as now all I can seem to read is non-fiction.

I've had an apple watch for a year, and overall it's so-so in my opinion. One thing though, the charging aspect is not an issue or annoyance at all. 10 or 15 minutes every other day and it's good to go.
