I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea. I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics). The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency. In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them. They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.…

Bonnes Journées européennes du patrimoine à toutes et à tous. Nos monuments, nos paysages, nos forêts, nos savoir-faire et nos traditions : notre patrimoine raconte notre histoire et fait vivre nos territoires. Depuis 2017, nous avons fait de sa sauvegarde une priorité. Restaurer, protéger, faire renaître. Avec la Mission Patrimoine et le Loto du patrimoine, avec une mobilisation exceptionnelle de la Nation, nous avons agi partout en France pour préserver cet héritage commun. La renaissance de Notre-Dame de Paris a montré ce dont nous sommes capables lorsque nous unissons nos forces. Cet élan… English, from French Happy European Heritage Days to all. Our monuments, our landscapes, our forests, our know-how and our traditions: our heritage tells our story and brings our territories to life. Since 2017, we have made its preservation a priority. Restore, protect, revive. With the Heritage Mission and the Heritage Lottery, with exceptional mobilization of the Nation, we have acted throughout France to preserve this common heritage. The rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris has shown what we are capable of when we unite our strengths. This momentum…

𝙰𝙶𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚂.𝚖𝚍 or your prompt can indicate this preference. ② Steer as you please. It’s extremely enjoyable to use. You just talk to the agent and interrupt at will. Worth noting this works with any model, any gateway. No fancy server-side routing. Just harnessing (no pun intended) the model’s intelligence and ability to orchestrate. Quoting @fazxes fx v0.0.9 Use a frontier model to steer, then hand implementation to a fast workhorse. • Give each subagent its own model and reasoning effort • Subagents keep working while you steer • Send feedback to subagents mid-task • Switch models with Ctrl+P without losing your draft or images • New convers… Related

We need to all loudly keep calling out the truth about 9/11. Al Queda terrorists murdered 3000 innocent Americans. Dont let their deaths be rewritten as ‘planes flying into buildings’. Quoting @GovernorPataki I was Governor of New York on September 11, 2001. The planes did not simply crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They were hijacked and deliberately flown into those buildings by Islamist terrorists. America Related

. @yurimilner was that world class investor. After one meeting he said he wanted to invest and asked me for a valuation. I threw out a number 10 pct below what i figured our next round would be. He said he would wire the money next week. I think it was $150m. Never asked for board seat or any terms. He ttly got what the founder of a high growth company cared about. No meetings. No terms. Dont bother us. Let us cook! Quoting @kevinleeme Whenever other founders ask me who my best investors are and who I’d recommend they work with, I name the handful of VCs who rarely bother us and trust us to operate. It’s funny how simply doing nothing as an investor can put you in the top 1% of a founder’s book. Related

Love hearing @travisk call out loud what we all know. VC’s dont make or build companies but many can kill them. I used to tell investors I kept control to protect them from themselves. So many founders play the game and pretend their VC and its brand makes a difference. Can anyone remember who backed Meta or Google or Apple? Who cares! Do you think Steve Jobs needed a VC to help him build or market the Iphone? Quoting @howardlindzon LOLOL... such respect for venture capital Silicon Valley makes Wall Street look like the most sincere, honest, caring people. Google startups Related

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.
