Lay offs are being handed out like souvenirs and it seems it's my turn.
My employer closed its German office and a ton of talented engineers including myself were laid off 👋🏾.
If you know of anyone in the market for an extremely talented Mobile IC (or EM), send them my way! ❤️

2weeks to go to 70.3
Ope@opeispo
tread water -> open water swimming -> open water triathlon = ironman 70.3 next year?

@coder_blvck it just takes time and consistency and then it clicks one day.

I started learning to swim earlier this year. It’s been great so far. The toughest part is learning to breathe while swimming—what a struggle!
Once I unlock that, I’ll be unstoppable.

Nike spent millions on “Breaking2,” an attempt to break the 2 hour marathon by Eliud Kipchoge.
Kipchoge did it in Nikes in 2019, but it was with lazers and pacemakers. It didn’t count.
Today, 2 men do it officially. Both in adidas. The hits keep coming.

This original medieval-style dance piece is in G minor, with a chord progression that alternates between Gm and Cm, incorporating variations like Gm6 and Cm6 for that hypnotic flow.

I’ve always loved the term "intuition for numbers" and find that the ability to do a back-of-the-envelope test for any hypothesis is its best manifestation. I am truly in awe of people who are good at it!
This shouldn't be confused with the ability to do complex mental math, like multiplying 73*29. Rather, it’s the insight to realize that if a stock drops by 50%, it has to double just to break even.
It's also understanding that if you store data for every single second, it only takes 86,400 calculations to process a full day's worth of information, something even a cheap mobile phone can finish in under a millisecond.
It’s the same mental model that tells you a MacBook has more than enough computing power to host a site with 10,000 daily users.
The possibilities for this kind of thinking are endless!!

Recently my son asked me why he needs to do mental math when calculators exist. I told him if he doesn't, he will make irrational decisions throughout his life. Let me explain. Say you see two packs of snacks. A 500g pack for ₹100, and a 200g pack for ₹45. Which one should you buy? The math is not at all hard, but people who are scared of mental math will not do it. This is not such an important decision that you pull out a calculator for it. So you make the decision on vibes - say ₹100 "looks too high", or that the smaller pack costs "less than half of the biggest one" or some such. The problem isn't that you made a poor decision on snacks. It is that if you do this repeatedly, you train your mind to make decisions on vibes. Over time your reasoning muscle atrophies - so you start relying even more on vibes. Before you know it, you are taking even big decisions on vibes. Should I rent or buy a house? Let's decide based on "EMI affordability", not rental yield. Should I invest in this IPO? I have heard of the company's brand so I'm all in. It isn't only financial or quantitative decisions either - in my mind the math muscle and the logic muscle are closely correlated, so a decline in one certainly affects the other. Like the Arab who let the camel's nose inside the tent, fear of math is the first step towards thoughtlessness, and needs to be nipped in the bud. Intellectual laziness starts with snack prices.

Terrence Tao’s arguments for the value of serendipity and the counterintuitive benefits of inefficiency align perfectly with Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned. Too much emphasis today on optimization, getting the answer right, and getting exactly what we asked for.
Dwarkesh Patel@dwarkesh_sp
Terence Tao spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study - no teaching, no random events of committees, just unlimited time to think. But after a few months, he ran out of ideas. Terence thinks that mathematicians and scientists need a certain level of randomness and inefficiency to come up with new ideas.

Found an AI perspective I’d never heard before from a teacher of teens. It’s a bit meandering but your three minutes will be well used.

A critical mass of people cannot come to the agreement that theft = taking something that belongs to someone else, without their permission. If they cannot agree on what’s stealing, that it is a vice, that it isn’t good, and that it leads to the tragedy of the commons, then piracy is a problem of values first, before one of poverty. You don’t think your senator and your big mummy LGA chairman haven’t come up with good reasons why they steal?
The conversation on how to make art and literature must ride on two common points:
1. Piracy is theft.
2. There should be a lot more access to art by the masses that benefits all involved- the producer, the consumer and the custodian of the art.
We haven’t crossed point 1 yet.

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.
Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Whatever happened to Roam Research or whatever? Obsidian is still shipping but I don't hear about Roam anymore

Why is the target the number of tokens burnt? Why not set a target that ties directly to shipping reliable products? Are you in the business of burning tokens?
