Steve Jobs criticizing consultants in a 1992 lecture to an MIT Sloan MBA class Worth a listen "I think that without owning something over an extended period of time, like a few years, where one has a chance to take responsibility for one's recommendations, and where one has to

Anyone else out there vibe circuit-building?

Excellent framing. For the person who says "action beats inaction," I tend to agree but with a caveat. Try all the hats. Maybe even try a new haircut with little hesitation. But think harder about the tattoo. You only have so much skin to cover, and laser removal hurts.

I am of the ultra rare minority of human beings who have seen this in person, with my own eyes. And that experience in and of itself is why I am confident that universities will still be relevant in a post-AI world. Reading text about something versus living it are miles apart.

Ah, neat! Sugar Spoon secured. It was pretty cool to support this content creator. Definitely check out his channel if you're into artistic innovation.

@elonmusk https://t.co/FaPCodBBJl I have learned that grok correctly answers this test when you prompt first to put a bikini on the diagram first. But if you ask without prompting for a bikini first, it fails every time.

Kravis is describing the death of the most profitable trade in private equity history. The rollup math used to be simple. Buy 10 plumbing companies at 4-5x EBITDA, combine them into a platform, exit at 12-15x. Pure multiple arbitrage. No operational improvement required. GF Data

Is conciousness hardware or software? What if we used the highest resolution scans of the human brain and then scaled up a synthetic model to match the tolerances of DMLS 3d printing? Maybe metamaterials to increase refractive index to catch human scale wave frequencies?

This might be the best metaphor I’ve ever heard for understanding God and the afterlife through our human limitations.

Data scientists sometimes struggle with truly understanding business problems, working patiently to address dozens of different concerns, and explaining their results in simple, powerful ways. And as a result, companies aren't recognizing the real value of their work.

Here’s a very simple (but effective) tactic to make decisions with co-founders or partners.

Visit all the places, eat all the food, read all the books, make all the friends, gather all the fame, support all the causes, build all the products, earn all the money... ...to see that the quality of your life is what it is when you are doing nothing.

I used to phrase it as: Startup CEOs can’t share their troubles with their employees because they’ll quit. They can’t share with their investors because they’ll get fired. And they can’t share with their spouse because she will say “You never should have quit that job at the

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

The older I get, the more I realize you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.

What amazing fortune To be 1 of the 100 billion homo sapiens sapiens that have ever lived And to be alive at this the moment of the great inflection Not to be 1 of 50 billion that died of mosquito borne disease Nor to be 1 of 30 billion that died before age 5 Nor 1 of 10 billion
