The arrest of Pavel Durov makes me think of the ethical dilemma of balancing privacy and weeding out bad users. Devices today are capable of running pre-trained AI models locally. Should their use be standardised as to avoid illegal content while preserving user privacy?
Concerning, I dove into the signal protocol a year ago and saw some flaws (which is why we don't use it and made our own), but to be able to hijack a session so easily is a little surprising.
TL;DR: Don't install @signalapp for macOS, it is not secure. I carried out this small experiment: - I wrote a simple Python script that copies the directory of Signal's local storage to another location (to mimic a malicious script or app) - I ran the script in the Terminal and…
#Meta's 'end-to-end encryption' turned out to be more 'cash-to-hand' with that $100M #Netflix deal 🤑. At Snacka!, the only thing we leak is our love for privacy. Not even Netflix can buy that. 🍿 #PrivacyMatters
Midjourney is a 40 person company making $200M/yr in revenue. Small teams are mighty.
If something is hard, and especially when everyone tells you it's going to be impossible, that's more of a reason to do it because that's where everyone else gives up and you don't. That's true opportunity. Following the easy road is just plain boring, at least to me.
What idea changed how you view the world? Here's mine: High Agency. The high agency library: (19 best examples I've found in 4 years)
Not to mention that innovation requires sticking your head out of the herd and challenging existing paradigms. In big corporations, that is the guaranteed way to get replaced quickly because you're not a team player, and you're incentivised to blend in.
“Google or Apple can build it” No they can’t They have -decades of tech debt -existing products they can’t change without risking billions in revenue -Massive orgs with bureaucratic bullshit -Employees & CEOs who aren’t personally motivated by the problem & don’t give a fuck
Finding PMF is a game of delayed gratification. Notion: 3 yrs Airtable: 4 yrs Figma: 5 yrs Don't go so fast you tire out your ability to think non-linearly. In PMF, go slower to go fast.
It's actually scary how casually the whole world shifted towards shallowness with the advent of technology.
The nuance here is important: people want to post their experiences, not re-live them. Projection, not reflection. Surface, not depth. It’s a strange trend that we have collectively agreed to enjoy things a little less so that our peers can see us perform enjoyment.
People ask me "How come you've been able to solve complex deep tech problems that big teams haven't been able to solve over years?", and I still don't really have a clear answer. One thing I do know pretty clearly though: I would've probably haven't attempted solving anything…
Software entrepreneurship is mainly about making use of what's already possible. It's opportunistic. Deep tech entrepreneurship is mostly about making entirely new things possible. It's opportunity-creating.
People often email me with big-sounding ideas (reinvent commerce, change the way people meet, transform scientific research), and the bigger the idea sounds, the less interested I am. Truly big ideas don't sound big initially.
"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." - Carl Jung
It's so unimportant that I personally started considering degrees as a net negative for programmers, because university teaches you to do just enough to graduate, the degree becomes the "get out of jail free" card for their acquired lack of willingness to constantly learn.
VR gaming with realistic motion tracking will never succeed and isn't desirable for almost anyone. Gaming relies on minimum input to maximise dopamine response. That's why the most played games are on mobile, then console, then PC. Outside of Arcade, there is no use-case for it
