Disconcerting genre shift If you sit down to watch a documentary and realize, about ten minutes in, that it’s actually a feature film, everything about it feels off until you shift into a different mode. Walk into a new doctor’s office, and it m…

First point: Bearer assets are important. Second point: How does Cory walk and do this. Quoting @CorySwan In 1933, the U.S. government forced Americans to surrender their gold. When Bitcoin becomes important enough, the easiest coins for the government to grab will be the enormous pools held by regulated custodians. That’s what Bitcoiners mean when we warn about a "6102 Attack," and it’s a major reason… Related

This @Neko scan will change healthcare. It feels like a spa and takes an hour from the time you walk in to get a scan, bloodwork, strength, body composition, and a consultation with a dr about your results. I went last year and they’ve made incredible progress on the technology already. The first New York City location opens next week. Related

In my conversation with @bgurley he talked about this too. He called it bedrock. When he first learned investing, he read 'Peter Lynch, One Up on Wall Street. A Random Walk Down Wall Street. All the Buffett letters, Ben Graham, and Howard Marks.' "In order to be great, you want to learn all the bedrock principles you possibly can but then, once you know those have the independence of thought and the confidence to innovate on top of those principles." Studying the history and knowing the pioneers is the closest thing to a cheat code you're gonna get. Quoting @TKPPodcast "We have the only industry in computing that doesn't even know its heroes... no one knows Alan Kay and Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson. This matters, I think, because we discard great lessons and have to rediscover them over and over again." Related

We've all been there. You wake up feeling unwell, try to get an appointment, and before you know it half the day has disappeared. When you're sick, the last thing you should be worrying about is how you're going to get the help you need. That's why we're expanding Pharmacy First. The idea is simple: Qualified pharmacists can assess patients, dispense medicines and prescribe treatment for a range of common conditions, helping people get care quickly and close to home. So you don’t have to go to hospital, and you don’t need to book a GP appointment. Just walk into your local pharmacy and get th… 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

I split problems into two groups: muddy puddles and leaky ceilings. Some problems are like muddy puddles. The way to clear a muddy puddle is to leave it alone. The more you mess with it, the muddier it becomes. Many of the problems I dream up when I'm overthinking or worrying or ruminating fall into this category. Is life really falling apart or am I just in a sour mood? Is this as hard as I'm making it or do I just need to go work out? Drink some water. Go for a walk. Get some sleep. Go do something else and give the puddle time to turn clear. Other problems are like a leaky ceiling. Ignore… Related

One thing that is increasingly driving me crazy: AI made workplace writing cheap, but reading is still expensive! Again and again I see posts that are now twice as long as need be, and more meandering than a walk in the woods. The problem is simply this: the writer thought about what they wanted to say and asked a model to draft it. They did they stop to think: "What do I really want the reader to take away?" Before you ask AI to draft your next email, memo, or Slack update, answer these five questions: 1. Who exactly needs to read this? Is this for your manager? The leadership team? Your who… Related

Founding member of OpenAI and former director of AI at Tesla; creator of nanoGPT and the term "vibe coding".
Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest roun… Quoting @staysaasy The degree to which you are awed by AI is perfectly correlated with how much you use AI to code.

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
