Sorry but the UK free speech stuff does seem insane glad for 1776 I guess.
@apralky I think the question of are markets efficient, begs the question over what time frame. It seems like basic common sense that information doesn't propagate instantly through any system, and so there are ephemeral inefficiencies all over the place. IQ150 are more likely to find…
Slack in the system is not laziness. If every hour is spoken for the only thing you get is a bigger backlog of mid ideas. Good stuff comes unplanned.
“All life is problem solving.” This is literally true, progress is a loop. State the problem, try a move, watch the error, try again. The only trick worth learning is how to shorten the loop without faking the result to your own detriment.
Every product team thinks they are running a plan. What they are actually running is a probability distribution.
In markets competition looks like rivalry, but it is something more like distributed search. Multiple groups burning capital in parallel is waste in the accounting sense, but it's insurance against missing the frontier. OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google etc
Innovation always produces trash as a byproduct. The trash rate is not a bug, it’s the tax you pay to find something new. The real lever isn’t to eliminate trash, it's to make it faster and cheaper to uncover than everyone else. Discard it more ruthlessly.
the future is here and shockingly well distributed
Failure is a good input. Imagine a company where every failed attempt must ship a small artifact: what we tried, the test harness, the interface it touched, the cost to retry. Call it Failure-as-API. Utility is tracked by how often past failures become someone else’s shortcut.…
People romanticize breakthroughs but most breakthroughs are recombinations. History stored as artifacts lowers the price of recombination, makes search cheaper (it's a cache). Which means the real question is, how good is your archive and how cheap is it to reuse?
“We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” This is as good a definition of progress as any, fog in the distance, tasks in the foreground. Main thing is to tackle the tasks that clear the fog the fastest, the ones that maximize…
Standardization accelerates scaling but quietly kills exploration. Variety accelerates exploration but quietly kills scaling. The trick is to place them correctly. Standardize when learning is done and diversify when learning is needed. The art of useful innovation is knowing…
Too much iteration turns into local hill climbing. Too much vision turns into wandering in fog.
Most teams get smarter the moment translation cost drops, shared names, shared shapes, and clean joins. 10x for org-level intelligence and output than another round of hiring.
Great tech companies are always of their time, they are contextually great not objectively. Scaling is just inertia hoarding before the moment passes and the context changes. You can probably build a pretty good portfolio by taking a view on which are still ascending…
The main rule of innovation is don’t trap your experiments in your own bureaucracy. Make them cheaper to kill than to justify. Most orgs pour too much into mediocre ideas and create drag for themselves, starving the great ideas of air.
“Information is the resolution of uncertainty.” This is abstract until you realize it is the definition of progress. A team that reduces uncertainty is creating information and a team that multiplies uncertainty is creating noise. It would be great if there was GAAP metric for…
Penalize correlated bets that teach the same lesson twice
The best leaders know that strategy starts as exploration, which leads to iteration, which starts as a way to move quickly, then hardens into hill climbing, and only later gets mistaken for strategy. Vision begins as a way to see further, then drifts into wandering, and in…
“Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough and I will move the world.” The lever is never the hard part, it’s the place to stand. So much of strategy is finding ground solid enough to push from.
