I wonder if AI means we will at least have custom software. And if hardware makers will build devices that are easier to customize the software. Ex. Washing machines where you can program the cycle or microwaves where you can program the hot keys or power levels.

Bilingual friends, what's your experience? I've tried to learn 4 languages over the years (French, Latin, Mandarin, Cantonese) and my listening comprehension has always been terrible. Those times, I tried to translate every word individually and could never catch up. This…

A few times I've gotten a notice months later that something was wrong and I owed more money (was not a scam). Why do I need to bother filing if they already know this? Also, did you know tax filing companies (HR Block, TurboTax etc) lobby to keep the tax code complicated?

This is more important than apparent. Not for the politeness. Not for the positive reinforcement. For the idea that taxes should be seen as a necessary evil to minimise, not as a free pot of money to maximize. They should say “sorry”, actually. “Sorry we had to take so much”

Pregnant women should get a handicap parking tag from 2nd trimester to 2 weeks after the due date. But don't increase the number of spots.

I've been a part of the last seven cohorts of @david_perell's course. And he's underselling his course and overselling LLMs. First, because his course emphasizes the type of writing that he himself says will last - personal writing and unique perspectives. Second, because the…

Is Daylight Savings Time the problem or that we have no control over our schedule? If we decide what time to wake up, do we care if the sun rises at 6am or 7am?

If you've ever wondered if there was more to life, this is the book you should read. If you've ever felt cynical and everything will be better once "X" happens, you should read this book.
