"Flywheels: How Cities Are Creating Their Own Futures" was written by my friend Tom Alberg. We discussed how a flywheel effect is neutral since it compounds failure just as effectively as it compounds success. Failure can breed more failure [repeat].
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

The Frontier Lab flywheel is to get the smartest people to use the leading models. Then distill their inputs, your own model’s outputs, and resulting synthetic data and environments. And the people have to use the leading models because they’re locked in mutual competition.

Training tiny models for special purpose use cases works so incredibly well if you have a great self improving recursive flywheel.

If you count all the permutations, you can write all the tests you want. It is impossible to cover all of these and not break things from time to time. It is infinitely harder to evolve software that has users.

So, a deployment of your agent uh in the real world generates data. That data then grounds the simulator and makes it more realistic. The simulator generates harder edge cases for the critic to score and for the agent to learn from.

the first is talent density was incredibly important. That was the the core thing to bet on and um, like talent density is something that compounds naturally. Like the more talented people you have the more of the most most talented people want to join you.

Channels that manage to reach the bottom of a coffee bed carry larger, astringency-causing compounds out of the bed and into the cup.

I think especially if you have a product that has daily frequency like that's actually the retention that matters the most is that like of your existing user base that has developed a habitual pattern how sticky is your product and it's that retention rate that really compounds and build that builds that daily habit.

But because we don't know the answer to that, to me, a much more useful way to think about it is not how much data do we need to get before we're fully done, but how much data do we need to get before we can get started, meaning before we can get uh a data flywheel that represents a self- sustaining uh and ever growing data collection.

The date that matters for robotics is not when the technology is finished but when the data flywheel starts turning.Their words
So to me like what what I tend to think about a lot in terms of timelines is not the date when it will be done but the date when it will when like the flywheel starts basically.

When new technologies come out, this pendulum swings from best of platform towards best of breed. And the reason for that is incumbents typically aren't that great at these new technologies.

A compound's AI origin story is not by itself a reason to expect it to do better in the clinic.Their words
For now, I am not convinced that issuing press releases about your compounds that talk about their discovery through AI techniques is sufficient to expect greater things from them.

The compounds responsible for astringency in coffee require very high water temperatures to dissolve efficiently.Their words
The case of astringent compounds is particularly interesting, because they require a very high temperature to be dissolved efficiently in water.

Their words
Grinding too fine will liberate a lot more astringent compounds by breaking more coffee cells, which will result in an astringent cup regardless of how even the water flows through the coffee bed.

What is a korrent?
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.
