  Low-quality data makes a robot model worse unless you tell the model the data is low quality; labelled as such, the same data makes it better.

  Their words

  without metadata prompting when you add lower quality data from 80% data to 100% data the performance actually decreases which is perhaps not too surprising because you're adding lowquality data to your data mixture whereas with the metadata prompting the performance actually increases when you add that lowquality data

  "Simplify onboarding" is an action, not a problem, and a roadmap line written that way will not work.

  Their words

  But, if you ever have a line item on your roadmap that says simplify onboarding, please please cross it out. It's not going to work because simplifying onboarding is an action.

  A large cargo airship is probably not fundable as a startup, because it stays capital-intensive and risky until late in development.

  startups

  Their words, before

  My suggested approach would be more capital intensive while retaining a lot of risk until fairly late in development. I am not sure it’s fundable.

  Their words now

  Cargo airship margins, therefore, can be much higher than I had realized.

  Cargo ships can be electrified with a cheap, heavy, low-performance battery, because carrying heavy things cheaply is the one thing ships are good at.

  Their words

  Ships are great at carrying bulky and heavy stuff with minimal cost and energy usage. We need a battery chemistry that leans into that and sacrifices performance to reduce cost.

  Wild Problems

  Their words

  How to improve your HUGE major life decisions, like whether/who to marry, whether to have kids, where to live, career paths, and such — where you can’t use the usual checklist/data approach. This economist addresses self-identity, “deepest self”, and “something I was meant to do”. You can’t use a pro/con checklist with an item that says “lose respect for myself”.

  In prioritizing a list of tasks, the closest calls matter least while getting the very top item right matters most

  Their words

  In hindsight, the hardest comparisons are in fact the least useful - if I do the fourth most important task before the third most important, that's no big deal, but doing the tenth before the first is a screw-up!

  Who sent what is not metadata, so an encrypted system that reveals it has given up more than the routing information it could never hide.

  Their words

  Information revealed about “who sent what” in an E2E system is not the same as metadata.
