A concept of something I would love to use myself: a speaker where you insert a physical book, and it plays the audio version of it. A more tactile way to experience audiobooks.

if you care about workmanship in a home and can afford a $1.8MM home…. what are your options when you’re delivered this? feels like you have to invert the process and start very differently from the very beginning of a build/renovation

silphium is a great but unfortunate example of poor agricultural foresight. imagine an aromatic as common as thyme (called for in countless recipes) and due to your misgovernance you fed all of it to sheep. “silphium grazed lamp” was a delicacy but not for that long 🥲

there are only about 3 or 4 books here worth reading in entirety. for everything else just read a summary if you’re interested in the title of the book. everything else is just brain junk food

You hear a lot about the Mediterranean diet but not enough about the French peasant diet.

This must be pretty common. I’ve had the same thing happen to me by @Delta employees last year, with a phone stolen.
ok so at this point its clear @Delta’s employee has stolen my stuff and is waiting for 60 days or whatever before moving it, because thats when delta fully washes their hands of lost items @Delta what do you intend to do about this clearly organize systemic theft

Very crude but potentially useful mental model for how AI might affect startups. For the right business models: Software drove COGS to almost zero The internet drove distribution costs to almost zero AI could drive G&A to almost zero

work at FAANG to minimize risk but also cap upside work at startups for the lifestyle found a company for the chance of generational wealth
> If you want to make a lot of money in tech just work at FAANG and get promoted will you make $20M? probably not, but you’re not going to make that working at startups either
