karpathy said it best - most people paying for claude aren't actually using claude. they're typing prompts into a $20/mo chatbox meanwhile claude code ships with built-in features that replace 90% of plugins people install and nobody knows they exist i had 23 plugins. deleted all of them. my sessions got 3x longer and my outputs got sharper watch the video then read the full breakdown below - you'll probably uninstall half your setup by tonight

Founders cannot outsource recruiting. “Recruiting is the most important thing because you need creativity; you need motivated people. Ideally, the early people are all geniuses. They’re self-managing, low-ego, hardworking, highly competent, builders, technical—maybe one or two sellers—but you can’t watch everything. You can’t micromanage everything. The early people are the DNA of the company. When you outsource recruiting, when you have other people hiring and interviewing and making hiring decisions without your direct involvement and veto, that’s a sad day. That’s the day that the company’s no longer being driven directly by you. There’s now a fly-by-wire element in between. There’s some mechanical linkage going through another human, often at a distance. And other people are not going to have the same level of selectivity that you will as a founder. The important size at which a company starts changing is not some arbitrary number, like 20 or 30 or 40. It’s the point at which the founder is not directly recruiting and managing everyone. The moment that there are middle layers of management, then you are somewhat disconnected from the company, and your ability to directly drive a product team that can take the company from zero to one goes away. So we really cannot outsource recruiting. People think you can. They hire recruiters, for example. Maybe you can outsource a little bit of sourcing, but I would even argue that’s difficult. The reason recruiting is so, so, so important—and a lot of it is obvious, I’ll skip the obvious reasons—but one non-obvious reason is that the best people truly only want to work with the best people. Working with anyone who’s not at their level is a cognitive load upon them. And the more people they’re surrounded by who are not as good as they are, the more keenly they’re aware that they belong somewhere else, or they should be doing their own thing. The best teams are mutually motivated. They reinforce each other. Everyone’s trying to impress each other. One good test is when you’re recruiting a new person, you should be able to say to them, “Walk into that room where the rest of the team is sitting. Take anyone you want—pick them at random—pull them aside for 30 minutes, and interview them. And if you aren’t impressed by them, don’t join.” When you do that test, you will instinctively flinch at the idea of them interviewing randomly a certain person that’s kind of in the back of your mind. That’s the person you need to let go. Because that’s the person keeping you from having this high-functioning team that all wants to impress each other.”

Shitting on others for being wrong, you are not exposing them, you're exposing yourself as a novice. You can be wrong more than you are right and still make serious money, as long as your risk is controlled and your upside is asymmetric. The best traders / investors are not the ones who predict perfectly, you can have a view and thats all it is, if its not being expressed as a trade... One of my fav books is the one below which I've mentioned several times on the TL as early as 2020. Also take Qullamaggie as an example, of the best independent traders to have done it... has made tens of millions, if not more, yet his win rate apparently hovers around 30%... His FAQ literally says: “What’s my win rate? 25% in 2019.” But yeah... whatever

A mass psychosis event is unfolding on Reddit right now. Basically every comment on Reddit about the incident is claiming it was "staged."

dear community notes - i am right and you are wrong 1) payroll tax goes to the federal government 2) a company that has accrued NOLs does not owe tax - the implication that they are dodging something is confiscatory in summation, eat shit and die

Palantir very plainly paid $23m in income tax and $156m in payroll tax. That's 0/2. Are you retarded?
