This was written with ChatGPT, probably 4o specifically - does that not jump out at anyone else? Maybe just me because I throw productivity/spirituality stuff at it all the time and get this kind of language back.
"This isn’t a method I’ve perfected. It’s one I’m actively living. And every time I return to it, something shifts.
Try it for a week. Not to optimize, but to notice what becomes possible."
Hmmm, I can't seem to log back in, using a non-google email.
Recently I've gotten a lot of benefit from much of Alex Hormozi's thoughts. Yesterday I grabbed a 4-hour video, ran it through a free transcript generator, dropped it in Claude, and asked for an outline.
Unsurprisingly, Claude struggled to provide a complete outline. Like, it did a lot! but kept leaving parts out. I was able to prompt Claude to fill in more, good enough for me.
Anyway I dropped it into Miyagi Labs, waited 30 minutes while it said the course was creating. I kept it open in a tab and kept an eye on it. Eventually I tried to open a new tab into Miyagi (maybe I'd see it under My Courses?) but I was no longer logged in, and can't log in.
Also only the top right login button gives the option to use non-gmail.
The LLPSI-verse was my gateway drug (Luke Ranieri's reading is great, if a little hard to understand due to dropping final -um).
I have a bad tendency to do grammar exercises instead of trusting comprehensible input, happy to see such a strong cottage industry of Latin writers now!
It's a FOSS project for an AI agent that can work in the browser. Just lets you give it a couple more tools than OpenAI/Claude can - I'm gonna use 1Password's SDK so it can use my passwords safely
I built a garage workshop with a Shapeoko 5 Pro, X1C, soldering station, and learned CAD (ok just fusion). I have a lil drone in the air and I'm adding OpenHD for vtx, Rpi for on-edge compute (Jetson would be better but is expensive).
Haven't figured out FHSS or GNSS-denied nav yet (tbh I feel like fhss is gonna be harder). And SITL in a good sim remains to be conquered (ros on osx is a terrible experience). I'm also designing a battery pack that's modular, quick-swap, smart/telemetry.
I've shifted a lot of focus to networking (attending SOFweek in tampa) for the normal fundraising/team-building/customer discovery.
I'm also basically broke due to bootstrapping so I'm about to partner on some b2b ai saas consulting with a friend, today I got Suna up and running, pretty cool.
Yaaayyy Legentibus! I only dipped into it but next time I return to Latin really look forward to working through all the material. Extensive reading ftw.
The Granada TV adaptation apparently was a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic, and they simply read out loud parts of the book where they hadn't filled in the script - "a book on film." I loved it.
Yes, I've lived here 17 years and see pedestrians most places I go - although to be fair there are many roads where pedestrians don't go (say, the service road alongside 71). Perhaps OP was in such a place.
I also did not own a car for years, commuting only by bicycle, and never had a problem.
Indeed, Austin's core is only about 5 square miles (the entirety of the East Side to the Greenbelt, Hyde Park down to far South Congress, say). Fairly compact.
It is no New York or London but it is walkable and bikeable.
I liked this piece - excellent high-level thinking through the available market opportunities, especially given the constraint of venture capital. And the moral framework is down-to-earth: nothing wrong with ambition and risk even when things go south, paired with a buck-stops-here attitude.
On the one hand, seems he might have lived at least another decade. On the other, 75 is not too bad of an age and there are worse ways to go than adventuring (hope the end was not too tough!).
Yes, GitHub code search is much better than Googling for the same information.
And ChatGPT can't show you the whole codebase which is important to understand structure - plus sometimes it's easier to surf around a few files than have ChatGPT print at you.
Yes, I took all that from the article as well, which after all is not so subtle. Implying that Andreessen would have been a British Empire-style racist is indeed a scathing criticism.
But a hundred years ago, a houseboy and a butler were still very different people. To say that a hundred years ago this highly competent professional would have been a houseboy is, in effect, to call him one now: a no less scathing (and unintended) criticism of the butler.
Yes, I agree. Mostly mood affiliation, and so eager to condescend that it often condescends to the wrong people.
> I rang the bell; an Asian man in khakis and a sweater answered. I snapped into guest mode, introducing myself enthusiastically. He responded with an odd coldness. Then I realized he was not a fellow guest but, I guess you’d say, the butler. A hundred years ago, he might have been referred to as “houseboy” and greeted me in a tux.
A butler has always been a person of authority, expertise, and responsibility. Why "houseboy"? Because he's Asian?
> I reflected, perhaps unfairly, that marrying off their daughters to young men of talent and fortune is often how such families institutionalize their power.
The couple were in their late 30s when they married, and it is unclear why she would have no agency (or other value) here.
And many other snide remarks designed to show how blasé the author finds any rich person. He himself has brains and a soul, and they don't.
I do give small towns and communities far more credit than Andreessen does, let alone his guest's dreadful comment.
I love how clear and to the point this page/guide is. Beautifully summarizes the downsides as well as the upsides.
The system is even tempting to me as a homeowner not renter, but a similarly simple system that doesn't require running wires through the house might work better.
Although many of the results in Fast and Slow didn't hold up, Kahneman was always refreshingly open and honest about that, and keen to identify the limits of knowledge.
Which surely is one of the best things you can say about a scientist.
