One of Michael Moritz's best stories on obsession is about the ride he got from Bill Gates when Microsoft was still private. "Bill Gates gave me a ride to the airport in his car. The radio was missing in the car, a big, gaping hole in the dashboard. I said, Bill, what happened to you, did you get ripped off? And he said no, I had it taken out. Why'd you have it taken out? Well, I drive from my home to the office, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, and then I'll drive from the office to the airport, which is however long. And he said if I've got the radio, I'm afraid that I'll switch it on and… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.

I spent last night on a 16 hour ferry ride between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia in a full on gale, and I was well (WELL) over the legal limit on meclizine to the point where a sensation of seasickness was occurring in a body but whether that constituted “me” or not was a question for philosophers— Related

if you feel "too busy" to exercise, instead try finding active moments you can do throughout the day: - walk after lunch - take stairs instead of elevator - choose a parking spot farther away - give your kids an extra piggyback ride - listen to your all-hands call on a walk remind yourself you're doing it to have more energy to be more focused to be more present with your family to live a more enjoyable life whatever it may be energy Related

Their words
then that rogue deployment could be sitting there and sort of hitch a ride on the intelligence explosion. So new models are being trained every few weeks um and when a model comes off the presses, the rogue agents could try to bring that model into the swarm.

So, we know Phelps is the gold medals guy, but I like to say that transport is full of silver medals, right? A lot of people think about ride sharing as a gold medal. What about food delivery? What about parcel delivery?

Tried using Lyft for the first time in a while and was immediately reminded why I don't use it. I look at the ride estimate and it's 4 minutes, so I don't request it early. Then when I'm ready to step out the door, I request the ride and it tells me that it will be 10 minutes, but I can get a ride in 6 minutes if I pay $6 extra. Related

Their words
TSMC is much more excited to give allocation to Graviton than they are to tranium because they view CPU business as more stable long-term growth right and as a company that is conservative and doesn't want to ride cycles of growth too hard you actually want to allocate to the uh the market that is more stable and lower growth rate first before you allocate all the incremental capacity to the fast growth rate market.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
