@YounchanHwang Like a marketplace will charge me 10% of my sales to bring me traffic, can you do the same? With barriers to build a product going to zero, distribution becomes key. If you can lower that barrier too, you’re gold

Saw this 2021 startup announcing they're [AI for x], Allbirds vibes But for real, all respect for founders who pivoted from social to mobile to big data to gig economy to on-demand to wearables to NFTs to the metaverse to AI agents. Staying alive is 80% of the way. No joke.

The new hot take for AI is that builders have long life, managers are extinct That's right but only 1/2 the picture. Now everyone can build, the scarce skill is distribution If you can build + distribute, you're dangerous. If you can only build, you have a portfolio project

New productivity hack with AI. Now I don't forget my to-do list :) Problem: b2b on meetings and always forget the action items. Setup: Granola + Linear connected to Claude. Granola records every meeting. Claude reads the notes, writes the tasks, drops them in Linear.

Trainy is a simulator to replicate the experience of building an AI product from within a large company. You interact with agents representing CEOs, CTOs, Compliance, etc who have their own expertise, way of looking at things and even personalities. (4/n)

My nutritionist sent me a wall of text for my Marathon prep. I was checking it 5x a day trying to figure out what to eat. So I pasted it into Claude and asked it to make it usable. 10 min later: a mini app on my phone - tap the workout, see exactly what to eat meal by meal. 🤯

Here’s how to slash sugar spikes from pasta — and make it healthier. Scientists discover that cooling cooked pasta for 24 hours transforms its starch into a gut-friendly fiber that slashes blood sugar spikes. When you cook pasta and then cool it for at least 24 hours, the starch molecules undergo a process called retrogradation. This molecular reorganization transforms digestible starch into "resistant starch," which functions more like fiber than a simple carbohydrate. Instead of being rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and causing a sharp rise in glucose, it travels to the large intestine where it feeds beneficial gut bacteria as a powerful prebiotic. This simple kitchen hack not only supports a healthy microbiome but also encourages the production of short-chain fatty acids that help reduce internal inflammation. Beyond gut health, this transformation provides a significant advantage for metabolic wellness by slowing sugar absorption and improving insulin response. Perhaps most surprisingly, these health benefits remain largely intact even if you choose to reheat the pasta before eating. By simply planning ahead and refrigerating your noodles overnight, you can effectively lower the caloric impact of your meal while maintaining more stable energy levels throughout the day. This game-changing strategy allows you to enjoy favorite comfort foods while prioritizing long-term health and better blood sugar control. Source: Bullen, A. (2022).

My current spending is ~$5K/mo That is if I don't travel, If I travel it goes 2x to 3x because Airbnbs are pricey compared to rent, and flights, eating outside more I'll probably get cancelled for spending so much on Uber, but it's not a lot of rides actually Also excludes annual taxes like capital gains and income tax Second home is my old rental shared with a friend

@signulll If you played this game (and I did) you need to be paranoid and live well under your means Freedom comes from avoiding lifestyle creep and knowing when you’re at the top there are no long term guarantees tl;dr agree with all the “skill issue” responses here

Craved the new Nespresso machine but then noticed it was all a scam to buy their new patentes capsules. And still bought it… Zero regrets! ;)

Seeing all these tech folks casually shaving off a few minutes from their NYC marathon times like we wouldn’t notice 😂 Keep it honest, y’all!

@SashaKaletsky @t_blom Uber doesn’t want to reduce demand… less demand means less revenue. Increasing supply is objective #1. As supply is finite, higher price also means Uber maximizes revenue / ride.

@t_blom Ex Uber pov: The main function of surge pricing isn’t to increase supply (altho that’s a nice benefit). It’s to reduce demand. People who don’t need a car don’t book so more supply for those who do. Demand curve gets cut. Waymo could, and probably ultimately will, introduce it.

Waymo is a dramatically better experience than Uber, but the wait times during peak hours make it unusable at those times. Surge pricing is a smart mechanism that increases Uber’s driver supply during peak hours - I don’t know how Waymo can replicate this without massively over-provisioning vehicles and having them sit idle for the rest of the time.
