@davidsenra @pmarca Such a bad take. So many counter examples. Introspection is also an important part of most major religions for a good reason.

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@ilyasu Perfect for @AcquiredFM

I would fund an effort to write a book about the history and business of Lutron. So interesting (to me) and so secretive!

@chriscorcoran @yagilb yea dont force it @lmstudio crew did all the work

16GB isn’t gonna cut it. Spark is a good start. I heard the Dell version adds a couple of nice practical improvements. And LM Studio Link looks sick. I’ve been trying to do the same thing with vanilla Tailscale, Ollama, and Open WebUI for a while. I’m going to set it up this weekend

regretting not maxing out my Mac Mini's RAM

@chriscorcoran I have an M4 Mac mini... but 16GB of RAM aint doing it these days for good local models. @yagilb and qwen 3.5 making me think I should get a dgx spark with LM Studio Link on it

@patrickmalatack You didn’t buy a Mac Studio?

@yagilb @lmstudio Wen mobile?

Today @lmstudio introduces LM Link. It's a way to create an end-to-end encrypted connections between your devices, load large open-weight models on your most powerful machine, and use them from any of the others. Everything works seamlessly via the LM Studio UI: local and remote models appear together in the model picker, you can even make API requests to localhost, and they get routed to the right machine. Imagine you have Mac Studio on your desk or gaming PC with a couple of RTX cards. You can now load large models on them, and use them remotely from your laptop. We worked on this feature for a long time, and I'm super excited it's finally out. This is a result of close technical collaboration with the great people at @Tailscale 🤝

best way to spend 10 bucks a month out there right now. Congrats @MikeyShulman

Let’s go! This is cool well done @yagilb and team

cool new open source project from @stevenfabre and team. Check it out

Really excited to be working with @deepsinglak and the team at @finichatAI. If you want AI enabled customer support that actually works check them out usefini.com/blog/finis-see…

@thuddwhirr Let’s do it. New situations keep dropping

Someone here joked about doing a sports bar, but instead of games, everyone's drinking beer and watching live feeds of unfolding international events. If anyone in SF see's a good space for rent, LMK. We can call it "The Situation Room".

some luxury goods you spend money on and they don't improve your quality of life... and then there's fancy butter

Great to see others finally taking notice of @arimalik95 and team. No hype, just grinding for customers fortune.com/2025/12/18/sal…

@alexbouchardd @fraxool @Ant0ine_Gt @crisp_chat @ant0ine_g You should check out @finichatAI. @deepsinglak and crew are 👨‍🍳

@fraxool @Ant0ine_Gt @crisp_chat @ant0ine_g Our users are competent, and many support questions are actually deep technical questions. I hope any future AI system will be able to tell it won't be able to answer and loop an engineer in instead of making shit up and giving a poor experience.

Just had an awesome call with @Ant0ine_Gt from @crisp_chat and got an exclusive demo of their upcoming AI features. Honestly, it’s impressive. They’ve built something really solid, and I can’t wait to use all of this in production on my apps.

what should the punishment be for everyone who said that SF is dead and is now returning to SF?

Love to see this in the wild

@sdamico Holiday update?

everything is computer

There’s rampant fraud in all these prediction markets right? I’m highly skeptical of predictions where the outcome is knowable but not revealed vs not knowable.

@thuddwhirr @luke_metro Japanese zoning… urbankchoze.blogspot.com/2014/04/japane…

@luke_metro It just goes on forever. It’s like the surface of the Death Star, but with, affordable rent, amazing food, and great culture.

no one has ever been vindicated as much as the builders of "trains to nowhere"

Really enjoying the new class or products with chat based onboarding flows using LLMs to get "Hello World" working faster. Well done @polar_sh 👏
