bet you could run a very successful vc fund with one simple rule: never pass up investing in a founder who is under 25 and balding

one interesting way to improve performance on coding w/LLMs is to have it generate 3-5 responses at same time then have another model review it's answers and select best one (or ideally be able to test all it's solutions in parallel somehow and choose the one that works)
i find myself doing this already when solving bugs
i'll open 3 grok windows w/think mode, 2 o3-mini-high windows, 2 o1-pro windows and paste the file and context in all of them
oftentimes 2-3 out of the 7 will solve the issue and the other ones won't

You know who the best managers are? They’re the great individual contributors who never ever want to be a manager, but decide they have to be a manager because no one else is going to be able to do as good a job as them.

not too long from now writing code by hand will feel like doing manual punchcards that got fed into a mainframe back in the day. people will look at what we're doing now and it will feel absolutely absurd

Wild how many geniuses say different variations of this same thing.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Da Vinci / Steve Jobs
Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy - Issac Newton
Simplicity is our motto at SpaceX - Elon Musk
Einstein “didn’t understand more complicated things than others - appreciated the value of simplicity more than others”
Etc
Am I the only one whose internal feeling (good or bad) is in direct proportion with how much progress I’m making?

Just saw someone tweet something to the tune of “OpenAI will win because the xAI team will end up burning out with how hard they are working”
You do realize people worked just as hard in the early days of SpaceX and Tesla?
Same with Apple?
How did those companies turn out?🤣
With a vision as important as ASI, “burning out” will not be the constraint — and you can quote me on that

the secret is having fun (but have fun urgently, as quickly as possible lol)
Replying to @justindross
I have literally never seen a team work this hard in my entire life. 9-2am everyday, weekends and holidays included
