Must be a weird new Twitter thing. The thread is very thorough.

The solution is obvious and inevitable. These businesses are going to go under. You cannot run food manufacturing operations with the amount of water they have available. We will grow food someplace with more water. The people who own those

I mean, it’s good to be open minded, it’s good to be introspective, it’s critical to take feedback. It’s not wrong to have a take. You can sit down and say “no this is the way I’m going and I don’t think the other way is correct.” There’s p

I am dismayed at the number of people I increasingly run into online who I disagree with, where I’m unable to find common ground with. I’m pretty sure this is a result of their online identity being rather narrowly tuned to exclusively pres

Those guys are top tier you have to admit— tank their company, get acquired, keep their jobs, eventually wrangle their way into managing their acquirer, tank the acquiring company… this is god tier MBAing.

It’s just not that hard. Problem domains are hard. If you asked me to work in computer vision that’d be hard for me. Same for high frequency trading. Asking me to write this device driver in rust versus nasty old C, whatever man, bits is bi

I think the frustration comes around the constraints. It’s great for reminders and timers, and those meaningfully improve my life. It sometimes can successfully make a call. It interrupts me in the most obnoxious way at least once a week. B

The ideas begin to repeat after a while. I’m a bit of a rolling stone. Most folks tend to specialize but I get bored easily.

At this point pretty much any language you want to pick for me is a couple weeks’ ramp up time. I couldn’t really care less. What’s the right language? Probably the language you’re already using for the rest of your stuff so we can interfac

Yeah but what’s with the masochism attached to it?

I have yet to come to a satisfying explanation for the origin of that fetish. I suppose in the absence of any historical record you can make up whatever story you like, but the self flagellation that comes with it is so weird.

As an exercise I would encourage you to review the news from one year ago today and audit things that a: didn’t end up mattering b: haven’t changed c: weren’t true d: actually made a difference to you in some way. You’d be surprised how lit

I get a lot of interesting insights out of TikTok, as well as funny joke videos. I like a good laugh. If something is boring or dumb I swipe past pretty fast. TikTok catches on quick and treats me pretty good.

In the end if reading content, especially content that is emotionally evocative, does not initiate some sort of change in action or thinking, it is useless. The overwhelming majority of political content is useless. Did you do anything? Did

Common sense? Restricting exhalation to reduce transmission of airborne disease? Have you never been taught to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough? Like it would be remarkable if it did nothing. THAT would be a blockbuster result. The

Since time immemorial we have been coming up with euphemisms for “I need to shit”. I actually find this one minimally objectionable. I am a meat robot and I must attend to biological necessities. This is a convenient abstraction for my work

Delete early, delete often. Never keep an old Reddit account around. I torch mine and build anew every year just out of principle.

It’s the rule of ten (I made that up) 1:10 upvote. 1:10 of them comment. 1:10 post. The people barking are actually the least worrisome, they’re highly engaged. The meat of your users say nothing and are only visible in-house. That said, th

You know I took some time to compare versus just reading the analysis and in particular I listened to the OpenAI demo and a scene from “her”. Yeah not moving from my position at all. Just a very generic featureless female voice. I suppose I

I think self driving and public transport are actually complimentary. The principal benefits of owning your own automobile are convenience, as it’s always available for your use, and range— it will go wherever you want. Enabling vast fleets

It’s just that her voice by itself is relatively unremarkable. Someone like say, Morgan freeman, or Barack Obama, someone with a distinctive vocal delivery, that’s one thing. Scarlett Johansson, I couldn’t place her voice out of a lineup. I

Extraordinarily more difficult to get rich that way vs cashing out in the public markets. A 10x revenue multiple vs whatever share of profits your equity gets you after your nvestment terms are satisfied?

Yeah the math on what, 300k in equity on a 100MM “valuation” by retail investors is… hey it ain’t nothing. 0.3% of 5MM dividends is 15K. For a dude who’s only alive because his investors decided to walk away from their 8MM investment, that’

I’m specifically saying, in the US, we don’t do anything special with our trash. Mostly no recycling of anything but metal. We put it more or less securely in the ground and bury it. That’s all. And that is fine. We would have to fix a whol
