I have read this before. But @arpit_bhayani is 100% right. This helps me absorb way more content and then remember it
Build a habit of reading 100 pages in one sitting. This one skill can help you become a top 0.1% in your domain. Be it learning or working, getting into the top tier requires you to study tough topics that demand undivided attention and to do deep work to drive the most impact…
Calm your mind like still water, only then can you see through it clearly.
Don’t fight every battle you come across. Focus on the goal - you need to win the war.
This definitely got me thinking
Fei-Fei Li (@drfeifei) on limitations of LLMs. "There's no language out there in nature. You don't go out in nature and there's words written in the sky for you.. There is a 3D world that follows laws of physics." Language is purely generated signal.
Humans are getting more individualistic now compared to many years ago. This is unhealthy and grave for human race to go forward. This will lead to people become increasingly selfish. The sense of community will diminish - without which we ll be less happy. Altruism is the way.
Amazing tech. We may not be close AGI but this is an amazing device. Loved the Demo. Would love to get my hands on it. @alterego_io
Introducing Alterego: the world’s first near-telepathic wearable that enables silent communication at the speed of thought. Alterego makes AI an extension of the human mind. We’ve made several breakthroughs since our work started at MIT. We’re announcing those today.
We often think the world runs according to science or precisely physics and math. But we need to understand that world runs in its own ways. Physics and math are the models we humans created so we can try and understand ( and even explain) how the world works.
Very interesting take. @dwarkesh_sp is right about it. History is a nice to have trivia. But knowing how and why something work and the fundamentals underneath it is more important than history.
I find it frustrating that almost every nonfiction book is basically just a history lesson, even if it's nominally about some science/tech/policy topic. Nobody will just explain how something works. Books about the semiconductor industry will never actually explain the basic…
A lot of people care more about getting into YC more than actually building a startup( YC has become a symbol to flex) I don’t think you have the right mindset to make it big if this is the case with you. @garrytan can correct me if this is not true.
Analogies don't work when the audience does not have context around the topic. They may understand the analogy itself but not the underlying concept it was trying to explain. Audience may feel like they understand but its just a facade they put up to not be judged.
To avoid cloudy judgement and overthinking- try doing things as soon as possible( right now is the best time). Deal with consequences as they come. Your life won’t be devoid of consequences of your actions.
Over the past few weeks I have realised that speaking on consistency is easy from the outside but it is very difficult in practice. I need to make reforms in my habits to be able to develop consistency.
Building a world simulator especially for political front would be so cool and educative. World politics would be simplified and it would be a great way to teach children of various schools of thought and explain various scenarios that would pan out for every decision mde.
The way dev tools are built is going to change. Every engineer has their own workflow and can now build out tools to their liking- which may or may not be with fancy ui. Just a workflow that solves a niche problem. And every engineer will solve the same problem in different way.
Working on actual problem which might use low tech >>>> building something fancy that nobody wants to use. I think startups should realize this soon.
This is what I have been saying. Write even if nobody reads. Document your thinking. Write everyday. Journaling is a very underrated activity. Should be taught in school too.
Writing *is* thinking. If you don’t regularly formulate your theories of the world in your own words, you’ll just be a vehicle for propagating someone else’s point of view. Write essays and notes, even if nobody reads them.
All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job. They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.
Google is officially ahead. The number of models they are releasing along with their insane capabilities is amazing. There is a lot of catching up to do.
Was thinking of learning how to edit pictures. I think nano-banana just ended that need.
