Chapter 21: You should always be asking questions to better anticipate the future and lead it, rather than passively following. The luck favors the prepared mind.

And i feel like this chapter should be called "the powers and limits of definitions" (restructured)

Reading the The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard Hamming now; "What’s technically possible? What’s likely to happen? What’s desired to happen?" Spent a few days working thru the information theory along the way

Human learning is reactive by nature, which is why people must proactively find ways to get intellectually stimulated.

Turns out for podcast, letting claude code turns the transcript into an article is really useful
How do you handle long-form content like newsletters/podcasts? I feel overwhelmed by info & short on time. Anyone else find this tough? Tips?

The new ChatGPT "study mode" feature appears to be entirely implemented as a carefully crafted system prompt - thankfully OpenAI mostly don't take measures to protect those these days so it's easy to extract it and see how it works
As ChatGPT becomes a go-to tool for students, we’re committed to ensuring it fosters deeper understanding and learning. Introducing study mode in ChatGPT — a learning experience that helps you work through problems step-by-step instead of just getting an answer.

Build-in-public update: shipped v0.1 of https://t.co/OxgqHmpZuz, a 5-minute personal-homepage builder. For now it’s a single page you can tweak (text + images) + subdomains already work, see https://t.co/RWg7Ipkz8E. Next up: blog blocks, social links, and portfolio blocks.

building with AI feels like a labor now: there's not much intellectual challenge, but infinite prompting: plan -> code -> test/debug -> repeat it's very tiring at one point, the engineering progress is real, but you feel little "sense of achivement" because you can't really be

My IDE looks like this today, and it's working very well for me. Hope @cursor_ai can auto-rename my @claude_code terminal tabs soon.
