I still get weird looks when I rave about 8 hours of podcasts on the Mongols. Hard to appreciate without having heard it. Dan Carlin is exceptional. Here’s the first episode on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/

For anyone else interested in Bloom's 2-sigma, here's the original paper (1984): https://web.mit.edu/5.95/readings/bloom-two-sigma.pdf Blows my mind that 1:1 tutoring dwarfs the impact of other factors s

Seeing your launch hn made me happy. I tested one of your products in 2021. It's cool to see you and Parsagon working through iterations and finding customer traction. Mad props!

The author hits on a powerful point that is getting missed in this HN discussion. That is: talented and driven students are limited by the US education system. Some of those young people cultivate skill by getting practice during youth. Doi

Very limited editions, with sone items having just one edition. This won’t make much money. Looks like a cool art project.

Since it’s not mentioned in the blog: >On February 7, 2024, Senator Scott Wiener introduced Senate Bill 1047 (SB-1047) – known as the Known as the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Systems Act (the Act) – in

The lack of data surprises me. It reads like the author has a vendetta against this brand. They say that Air Jordans are “deflating” because auctions end at the low end of their estimated ranges, though still setting records for sneakers. A

Try soaking store-bought paneer in warm water. I simmer it on low for 10 minutes while cooking the rest of the meal. The paneer turns so soft and fluffy that it’s hard for me to distinguish from homemade.

This article doesn’t address when cameras are blocked, which is the obvious issue with camera-only self driving. Teslas have crashed when cameras were blinded by the sun. Now throw in snow, rain, dust… Is that solvable with lots of cameras

Investors fund products that people want. These cars have two majors problems in the US: 1) expensive and 2) city parking is painful There will be demand if a company solves those problems in a US city.

These look like underground, single vehicle tunnels. It got me wondering why tunnels instead of building above ground. It looks like 1) tunnels are much less expensive in dense areas than above-ground roads, and 2) more tunnels can be added

That premise seems unlikely based on two facts from the article: 1. “to require truck manufacturers to sell an increasing number of zero-emission trucks over the next couple of decades” This is a multi-decade effort for manufacturers , not

This reminds me of Thumbtack. Their customers, local service providers, are incentivized to move transactions off-platform to avoid paying commission fees (and taxes in many cases). However, those customers are willing to pay to connect to

I already see comments downplaying this issue. Take a moment to acknowledge the series of events: 1) multiple women felt harassment at at work, 2) they reported it to the company (which can be hard) 3) the issues did not get fixed. I hear a

That implies that it is easy to find a therapist who will accept insurance, which is not at all the case for many people. Finding therapists who accept insurance is such a large problem in so many US cities that there are entire startups wo

Might be because of different utilization rates. Cars can be rented 7 days/week between biz (weekday) and consumer (weekend) travelers, and across all seasons of the year. I’m guessing bikes get rented on weekends (30% of days) during

We pay them to complete jobs rather than charging them money to be on the our service. We monetize through a marketplace take rate.
