@SarcasticallyAJ These kind of stories are beyond frustrating.

There are specialists and there are generalists. This is a master class on what it takes to be an elite specialist.

You'll never see Bill Belichick happier than you will at the end of this video 😄 Belichick was asked by a reporter why do teams hold a Long Snapper instead of using a position player and saving a roster spot. Bill answered him.. for 10 straight minutes

@thogge Definitely. The higher in org you go the more important being multifaceted. Great CEOs = 3+ of those.

I’ve noticed something about the most talented tech executives:
They’re naturally good at other functions too:
-CRO who has great product taste
-CPO who understands finance and revenue
-CTO with excellent business sense
-CFO who thinks product first
1-2 of these = magic

@wolfejosh Thanks for resurfacing. Think the same for myself.. similar background (single mom etc).
Others can vary... but fear does seem to be one of the most prevalent.
English
@wolfejosh Hahaha yes yes. But I've always been curious what drives CHIPS. Spite, envy, fear?
English
Well i suppose i would have to say...
CHIPS on shoulders, put CHIPS in pockets

CHIPS on SHOULDERS...
DESIRE (and motivation) can trump intelligence or static measure of ability...

Imagine being Fantilli and you're 2 seconds away from living in Southern California (not the bad part with homeless guys are screaming and pooping all over the street, like the chill part in Orange County where every Range Rover is freshly waxed and if you don't have a Bentley to drive on Sundays you're a pussy) and some BONEHEAD in Anaheim decides to take Carlsson so now instead of hot chicks in the sun you're off to Ohio where the people are great people but the weather is disgusting and mike Babcock is gonna automatically be mad at you for being a young prospect. Fuck that. I am staying at Michigan until I graduate and then pursuing a masters degree and playing as long as I can get out of this situation. I honestly would even sign up for medical school and burn off another 12 years just to make sure a) some other team gets me or b) mike Babcock is back coaching in the Saskatchewan roller hockey league.

How neat. Researchers claim to have found, at long last, an "einstein" tile - a shape that tiles the plane in a pattern that never repeats. First two authors appear to have no academic affiliations. arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798

@mattroberts great story… thanks for sharing! Love the relentless pursuit to solve problems.

Many times I thought GaN wasn’t going to go anywhere. Imagine what started as speaker company now building GaN chips (?!)
And thats what those of us on the outside need to remember.
That great entrepreneurs find paths we never see, it only makes sense in hindsight.

It’s funny how journey’s come to an end it is also funny how they start.
In ’08 at age 65 when most of his peers were retiring my dad John and his colleague Girvan founded GaN Systems
My dad’s goal was to build the worlds best Speaker not a semiconductor company. 1/

Wow.. the game theory behind these prompt attacks has my head spinning. We’ve entered into a new arms race domain.

As ChatGPT becomes more restrictive, Reddit users have been jailbreaking it with a prompt called DAN (Do Anything Now). They're on version 5.0 now, which includes a token-based system that punishes the model for refusing to answer questions.
