@simonsarris that’s why it’s worth it to finish the back of the cabinet. even if you think someone won’t notice when it’s not done with care, they will notice in a way they might not be able to explain

Once you become mid/senior level, the demands shift from "you have to stay up to 2am every night" to "you have to travel 2-4 days per week" You'll also always be "on" and that won't ever end

how I’d advise my 6th grader here: work hard and quick to do well in the “system tasks” and then use your free time to make actually good things according to your own high standards the system will never provide sufficient standards and the sooner you realize that the better

i don't know what sf's PR team is doing but i'll do the work for them i just wandered 20 minutes on a beautifully clean market street, no rotten smell, no people screaming in my face, no one doing heroin. this is powell station:

I did this - I read 50+ books in 2018 - and it sure as hell beat watching TV and scrolling social media but pretty quickly you learn that A) non-fiction is mostly about learning, much of which can't be done just by reading and B) fiction/narratives are nice but only in spurts

I'm articulating this poorly, but each year it feels more and more like content consumption is divided by people who start with algorithm, and those who start with some path outside the algorithm (recommendations / pulling a thread on their own curiosity / etc)

@nabeelqu Uber use spikes by time of day & AVs are expensive. Waymo has to trade off between sizing the fleet for top of curve (inefficient, but guarantees low wait times) & middle (good asset utilization) I think optimal will always involve human drivers to make fleet size variable
Here's a secret I learnt after spelunking in the expertise + learning research literatures for ~3 years: the quoted tweet is correct, but not if your goal is to have kids do well in school. The quoted tweet is only correct if you want them to be good at DOING, not exams.
