everyone spent ten years learning to code and it turns out the terminal skill was english composition. the machine will do anything you tell it. the only thing left between you and what you want is whether you can form a clear thought and put it into words

Alright apparently people want SF Chinese food takes lol so here goes the long list: S Tier Four Kings ($$) – absolute goat right now with S tier service too J & X Bistro ($$) – new and underrated more trad spot A Tier Yuanbao jiaozi ($) – beef noodle soup is better than the dumplings Palette teahouse ($$) – upscale dragon beaux / koi palace Hon's Wun-Tun House sunset location ($) – new location has expanded menu of trad canto fare Mr Jiu’s ($$$) – was great, fell off a bit. still good! B Tier Z&Y ($) – best sichuan Oodle Noodle ($) – good and fun rice noodles. uncommon here Noodle Panda ($) – it’s just fine as far as hand pulled noodles go, but they’re the only ones who do it in the city! Overrated spots i'd avoid China Live ($$) – just terribly mid white food media darling San Tung ($) – respect og status, but no reason to go here anymore. Happy Crane ($$) – can’t take them seriously when the chinese character of their logo is mangled af Empress by Boon ($$$) – only reason to come here is to entertain clients Any two word dumpling restaurant ($) – some are dece but the whole category is cursed In general, SF chinese food is not that good! but having lived here 10 years, these are our go-tos! Not counting spots outside of SF. I know the scene is better in south and east bay, but can’t always go out of the city! Also, inb4 “who are you to...” 老子在三番的美食沙漠熬了十年总的有有点发言权了吧 Also, everyone I trust says Fu Hui Hua is excellent,but I haven’t been yet!

one thing I don't understand about America - fine there are several things - but why are dryers so good at drying laundry here? in EU the function of a dryer is to take cold wet laundry & turn it into hot wet laundry, but in US it actually comes out ... dry? is it the freedom

Daily writing is the new weightlifting. Back in the day, 90%+ of the population worked manual labor on farms. We didn’t have “gyms” because everyone was breaking their back working all day. Once we got machines, we needed a new way to keep our body in shape - lifting heavy objects (3 sets of 10), voluntarily, at the gym. The same thing is happening for writing. Everyone is outsourcing their thinking to AI. The brain is a muscle, and it will atrophy if you don’t use it.

Late to the party, but after a couple of 4+ hour road trips and a few weeks around town, the Tesla Y with FSD 14+ is incredible. Someone said it recently: it’s like going from black and white to color TV. And when you drive a regular car again, even if it’s a “better” car, you still feel dumb having to drive yourself.

sometimes I think your entire life is shaped by how happy you can be about someone else eating the fruit of a tree you planted
j ai appris à mon ex à utiliser des baguettes et aujourd hui elle est en lune de miel au japon parfois on plante un arbre sans penser qu un autre va manger les fruits

We're excited about the US CLARITY Act. We think all YC companies will use crypto technology, like stablecoins, before long. Not just crypto startups, not just fintech startups, but every company. Here's why this law is such a big deal 🧵 nitter.cf/SenLummis/status/20637…
The Clarity Act passed committee. The floor is next. We did not come this far to quit at the 5 yard line.

The strongest predictor of who does extraordinary work is whether they ever obsessed over something pointless. We've seen this across 5000 startup meetings, but the pattern showed up across everyone from scientists to athletes. We’ve met people who spent two years optimising their fantasy football algorithms, or memorised every player in the NBA at 11, or collected thousands of train tickets, or built a Lego replica of their school; none of these activities really had much point. What they were demonstrating was the hardest skill in any field; the mental capacity to stay focused on a boring task for much longer than it deserves. The path to genius is mostly boring repetition, and people who achieve it have a broken off-switch. It is tough to fake having spent years obsessed with boring things that didn't matter.

Wow. This is the way you want criminals to be talking about your anti-crime tech.
One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore. It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets.
