@kuroke01 @gallabytes I’ve been on Twitter for almost 2 decades now so I can say with confidence that it has never been this toxic and Reddit-like. I think the alg actively encourages it and people get RL’d by it. Main reason I’ve been coming here less and posting less.

You should live your own life as if this is true. Believe it earnestly, for you. But don't mistake this for a fact of reality to bludgeon others with.

My older kid finished elementary school this week. His class wore t-shirts they made with a Steph Curry quote: "Success is not an accident" My take on the phrase:

@KrisAbdelmessih There’s a quote from one of Grover’s books which goes, “you never stop working because it would give you too much time to think about what you had to endure and sacrifice.” Not my mindset either but a lot of respect for it.

You have to be ok with the time you take away with your family. You are definitely sacrificing them. I admit I don't emphasize with this mindset but the world is vast and as someone who loves seeing greatness. this is why sports are so compelling. I love music...

It's interesting that @visakanv starts the thread talking about how this should prolly be a sports story. The TikTok by @JasonKPargin is worth it. I started reading Winning by Tim Grover and it's unapologetic about the Whiplash kind of mentality

@visakanv @JasonKPargin has a solid take on the film

Put another way: it's higher EV for me and the world to try to increase their odds of success by 0.1% than to try to build my own thing just to build my own thing.

Before I started writing Not Boring, I really wanted to Build a Startup™️ and be a Founder™️. The more truly exceptional founders I meet, the sillier I realize that was. There really are just some people who are built different, and that's great.

I’m looking for TV series in the “competence porn” genre: -characters use logic & show prowess -problems are complex & multi-faceted -no magical thinking or magical powers -skills are acquired thru years of practice -no one stumbles inexplicably when being chased by a monster

@Lethain It helps to be deliberate about learning. Maximize each interaction you have with them, including each intro, piece of advice, email. But don't be too needy about information and be a pain. @HustleFundVC also runs an angel squad that teaches the ropes (disclaimer: I'm in it).

Why do people angel invest? I get theory of angel investing as status building vehicle, but what are the other motivations? Especially for folks who do it before they are financially independent themselves? (Which seems increasingly common?) What do folks learn from the process?

most common neural net mistakes: 1) you didn't try to overfit a single batch first. 2) you forgot to toggle train/eval mode for the net. 3) you forgot to .zero_grad() (in pytorch) before .backward(). 4) you passed softmaxed outputs to a loss that expects raw logits. ; others? :)

I'm reading Grokking Deep Learning by @iamtrask and want to share what I'm learning. Instead of summarizing concepts, I'm building a few neural networks and explaining how they work. Link to the book: manning.com/books/grokking… 🧵 1/n
