1/ there is this sense when you are young that your accomplishments need to be a list of things that seem impressive to others. A list of several items you did.
This isn't actually right, so here is another suggestion.
Intelligence is now easy to purchase, just as physical labor is mostly replaced for most folks.
The only remaining scarcity is WILL TO ACT
keeping your environment as broke feeling as possible is good for the soul
A Microsoft AI scientist chose to live in a tiny room in San Francisco’s Chinatown for less than $1,000 a month.
@annakook gives us a rare look inside a single-room occupancy building, where residents have private rooms but share kitchens and bathrooms.
Let's let them regrow limbs, that will go over really well
Hitting a fastball is one of the hardest things to do in sports. It's too fast - like 400 milliseconds.
Your conscious mind cannot possibly do it.
So when batters hit the baseball, who is doing it?
Answer: Their past self. The one that has done the reps.
In the moment, the body is just showing up and turning their mind off, and letting the body do the rest.
unless you are entering a mustache competition, please immediately STOP TWIRLING YOUR MUSTACHE ON THE SIDES. it does not look good. yes, i am an authority on mustaches.
This is being posted everywhere, with good reason, but the real thing he's expressing here is "I have done infinite reps before this."
Do infinite reps.
Yes, infinite.
I am replaying Zelda Tears of the Kingdom after all this time and I simply cannot believe how replayable and fun this thing is over and over again
Let’s give Dave Roberts 1/3 of his Dodgers salaries and see if he can do as well as the Brewers are doing

Today, we're launching the ability to say yes to Muse at work.
People are giving Muse access to their company's most sensitive data & systems. Yet companies have no way to control this access. Many are blocking it. Others have had Muse go rogue, leaking company data, sending unauthorized emails, and more.
Runlayer provides hundreds of secured connectors for Muse, governed by deterministic policies & runtime security models that you can control. Runlayer also detects when Muse is being used within company systems without governance, and alerts you.
Teams get access to the most powerful personal agent. Companies maintain security and control. Win win.
the degree to which you can make research easy with modern tools is just out of this world. AI obliterates how hard it is to come up with ideas for a startup.
it is SO EASY to try, imagine, make, discard, that it completely removes the need to conceptualize an idea.
the idea is now the easy part. it's also easy to come up with next steps. the missing part is only WILL.
do you want it enough? that's something that is not going to be answered by any LLM and is not going to push you along every day.
so your job is to get in the seat each day and progress as much as you can.
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOW YOU GO SO LONG AS YOU DON'T STOP
stuck? ask your local agent "what's next?" - great, now you're not stuck.
keep moving forward. your next great business is ahead of you so long as you keep going.
I worked with Venky for a long time and throughout the ups and downs and even disagreements, he was truly a classy guy.
Every seed investment is an option bet.
“You have to think about the venture portfolio as a bunch of options. Each seed investment is an option bet.
You are buying an option to see if it is an outlier, and you want to have enough of those to make sure you have an outlier.
When there is true quantitative evidence that it is going to be an outlier, then you position size up.” @venkyganesan
How do seed funds play in a world where mega funds are totally price insensitive and “option bets” is the mindset for seed checks @infoarbitrage @chudson @hunterwalk @honam @dunkhippo33 @jasonlk
Cool, but why does this guy look like Littlefinger
Today we're launching Roma.
Roma is the to-do list that does itself. The original productivity tool reinvented.
Months of hard work, and a lot of honest feedback from beta users who kept pushing us to get it right.

Roma is available today. Can't wait to hear what you think.

it's important that cafe employees be total fucking communists otherwise they'll kick you out the moment your cappuccino is done

Stephen Harper on Alberta independence:
"I spent a good part of my early political career involved in the debate over Quebec independence. That was driven by a large minority of the population who genuinely want a separate country, regardless of the cost. I do not believe the downsides of that experience are fully understood in Alberta.
"Over two generations of Quebec politics were spent debating the goal of the separatists. Families were divided, and friends were lost. The more serious the challenge became, the worse the economic impact became. In the process, Montreal’s two-centuries’ long position as the commercial centre of Canada was permanently lost to Toronto."
