Jerrod Carmichael is the only working comic who can put together an hour that is fully engrossing from start to finish. A master. The new special is a must watch for stand up fans.

I've come to really appreciate the line "Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself." (From the famous multitudes poem) Rather than viewing it as a bad thing, noticing a contradiction is a chance to recognize growth or inch towards greater self-awareness

A lesson I'm starting to internalize is that opportunity cost is most dangerous when it's a hidden cost. Everyone intuitively knows a dollar spent on X cannot be spent on Y. It's factored in. But in many areas it's unknown, e.g. investment of time and energy. These are so…

I'm noticing that for me LLMs are either a thought partner or thought replacement, rarely anything in between. At any given moment it's either making me smarter or dumber. My choice.

Crazy how some days I wake up and think "the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, what more could I want?" -- and then other days I convince myself I NEED a perfect life with an embarrassment of riches such that it would make kings from history blush. Brains are funny things.

The idea that UIs will be generated on the fly seems to me to be the classic case of a solution in search of a problem. I get it's cool that it's even possible, but how would an improvised UI beat a thoughtfully designed one? The latter has the benefit of the same AI + human…

I'm trying to understand ASI / Ilya's plan. They're going to just tinker away until they create AGI and release it one day? No iterations or users needed? Have to respect the insane level of confidence that path would require. But it's hard to believe it's possible

Riding a bike w/ no hands is a surprisingly instructive life experience. It's scary bc you assume if you lose control you'll just fall. But what actually happens is you lose it gradually and have time to course correct or stop. A little dose of risk tolerance medicine each time

There needs to be a name for the paradox that the more there is of something, the longer I wait to try it. One great tv show? I'm all in. 10? I'll wait to see which lasts to season 3. Noticing it with AI now. Cursor? All in. 10 new ones? Eh, we'll see who's around in a year.

Woah, I just noticed a random political tweet I'd never even seen before was in my reposts? Is a pocket repost a thing? Or has the X algorithm gone from deciding what I see to deciding what I boost? I hate to think how many of my tens of followers saw that and got me all wrong

Feels like the impact of this announcement is being understated. What are the second and third order implications of *solving* internet payment fraud?

Why do all open source ML training repos I try fail so spectacularly on Mac? With so many Mac devs, shouldn't this be ~solved by now? What am I missing? Will be a huge unlock especially for indie devs if/when it gets solved. Maybe a big biz opportunity in there somewhere

Update: I've now submitting all possible backlinks from backlio by @philkellr. Done for 2 sites - one designed from the ground up around an SEO strategy (per @dannypostmaa's course) and one not. Will be interesting to see domain traction and traffic from each!

Thinking of making a vibe remix of two of my favorite games for @levelsio's #vibejam - It Takes Two and Fall Guys. Anyone want to be a first player if I make it?
