Programming isn't like playing an instrument or speaking a language: whether you started coding at 5 or 20 makes no difference to your skill at 30. Programming is about clarity of thought and the ability to build and manipulate mental models, not mechanics like syntax or typing.

I’m looking through my Macintosh user guide (the booklet that accompanied my 1984 Macintosh) for the first time in a while, and I’m a little obsessed with this graphic explaining scrolling.

جذب الانتباه Attention عملة صعبة جداً في هذا الزمن ومن يملك البنية التحتية في إدارة هذه العملة وتوجيهها وتحويلها إلى اقتصاد قائم بذاته أتصور سيملك أصعب عملة في التاريخ. مثلاً تأمل في "ترند اليوم" و "مشاهير السذج" .. ليس في المقطع نفسه بل في الناس اللي شاركت وعلقت. هل هذا واقعنا كما هو أم واقعنا المدفوع باقتصاد الانتباه؟

At some point the meaning of ‘driving’ and ‘self-driving’ will invert.

What is this new trend of flying with the window shades down on DAYTIME flights? You’ve got sweeping views of the most intricate planet known to man and you’d rather sit in a dimly LED-lit tube?! No wonder people are depressed & dysregulated.

Orson Welles, one my favourite interviews ever

Seed fundraising playbook for AI startups Lessons from Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Ilya Sutskever Lesson 1: prophets trump profits When investors think you are the savior of humanity they will not bother asking you for business model. They need you not the other way around. Lesson 2: Fear is the new TAM. The sky is the limit on how much you can raise - just throw in AGI and P(doom) = 10% here and there. P(doom) carries a mystic valuation premium so milk it like there is no tomorrow (no pun intended). Lesson 3: PMF is crap - it is PMC now Explain you are in the product market CREATION business. Investors love markets that are too big they don't exist (yet)... Sell the future. Lesson 4: Narrative >>> Business In case an investor asked how you will make money, tell them saving the civilization is the real reward. Just stick to the narrative with the right keywords (civilization, humanity, doomsday, e/acc, superintelligence etc). Money follow the narrative not the business. Lesson 5: Public stunts are strategy Grab media attention. Make a very twisted test that you know will make the AI model blackmail (maybe add this to the prompt?) or send your info to authorities. None of it has to be real but just let it out and enjoy the free media coverage and the free user acquisition campaign for you. The DEMO is the product until next raise. Keep pushing.

ليش أغلب السيارات اليوم يا أبيض، يا أسود، يا رمادي؟ وين اختفت الألوان؟ فيه من يقول إنها مؤامرة تحاول محاربة كل شيء فيه حياة… وفيه من يقول هذي نتيجة جشع الشركات والرأسمالية. أتوقع الموضوع له أكثر من سبب، ولكن اختفاء الالوان ليس وهم ... 🧵

Every time OpenAI asks me to compare two ChatGPT responses I feel like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator

you can't vibe code a bridge

التفكير مع الذكاء الاصطناعي (ChatGPT, Claude وغيرهم) بصوت عالي من أمتع ما أقوم به. تختلف الجودة بشكل كبير ما بين الخطة المجانية والخطة المدفوعة. الصباح يكتب لي الأكواد والمساء فلسفة حوارية ممتعة لا تنتهي.

Everyone always talks about the cheap concessions or the limited commercials, but Augusta's no-phone policy is by far the best rule in sports. No phones, just living in the moment.

one of my favorite things to think about is the ”innovation lab” that every company deploys. it’s the absolute perfect case study in performative contrarianism. ceo’s spin up these labs to “think outside the box,” then fill them with the same pedigreed, well socialized execs who built the box in the first place. at the 98% percentile outcome the lab often becomes a type of zoo, where shit is observed, not really generated. or it becomes a nice marketing arm.
