@hthieblot What about coming back from being old and having wasted all your time? As a young founder, you can come back from anything.

As a founder, you can literally come back from anything.

@hthieblot These are the only types that have a shot at making it. Throwing everything else to the wind and going full force at what you believe is the only freedom you can find.

If a founder says: “I’ll die before I quit.” “I have no plan B.” “I want to retire my parents.” “This is my life’s work.” Invest in them immediately.

@allTheYud It doesn't mean "Jewman", Yud is older Yiddish meaning Jew so that part is right. But -kov is slavic suffix meaning something more like "ville" and -sky means "from", so your last name means "from Jewville."

Once, Yud was the tenth letter of the 3,000-year-old Hebrew alphabet. It abbreviated "Judah" (Yehuda), and so symbolized Jews. ("Yudkovski" ~ "Jewman".) Now, many hear "Yud" and associate a different meaning. Etymology has surprisingly little momentum.

This a computer, and you likely own one. It's a hydraulic analog computer. It’s essentially a machined analog computer that computes with fluid instead of electronics: pump pressure is routed through passages that act like wires, while spool valves, springs, orifices, and check balls perform the equivalents of comparators, logic gates, delays, and one-way elements. What it “calculates” is the machine’s current operating state, whether conditions have crossed a threshold to justify changing state, how strongly to apply each output, and how quickly to make that transition without instability or shock. It does this by continuously balancing forces—pressure on different valve areas against spring preload and feedback pressure—so each valve shifts only when one hydraulic condition outweighs another, while restrictions and chambers add timing and smoothing. In plain English, it is a real-time fluidic state machine that solves “if this pressure is greater than that one, route flow here; otherwise hold, delay, soften, or override” entirely through geometry and oil. They're used in every car with an automatic transmission, where it makes choices like what gear to be in and how hard to apply clutches, etc.... And some dude worked it all out on paper back in the 1960s.

my biggest pet peeve around LLMs is when people (usually those invested in its success) call it “intelligent”. it definitionally, how it functions on a base level, is not intelligent. the way LLMs are built, it can never hit real intelligence. it’s just predictive

@allTheYud It just looks like poetry written in middle English.

Them: There is no incorrect way to do poetry. I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Me: I asked Grok image gen, in Fast mode so it'd have no chance to reason textually, to draw a poem. Them: I'll retract my statement.

spent all day putting this together. does anyone want to invest in my hard tech startup

Their plan is already in motion. Soon enough they'll buy stocks in automotive manufacturing, and it'll all be over from there. sites.google.com/site/artmarcov…

@fishPointer So one would hope, yet eventually these two lines intersect and the uncertainty collapses.

your current fate is not your final fate, if that makes sense

Crazy to think that there are grown men born in 2008.

always remind yourself of this

My Uber driver in SF said he’s working on a startup, then asked me to sign an NDA before telling me the idea 😂

The best part of accumulating wealth is that you can start saying increasingly insane things and people begin treating them as insight instead of retardation
