This week, I learned:

  • You can use slots to stream HTML out of order!
  • Shane Parrish. Short-term patience podcast
    • have a frame of reference to relate EVERY experience to. That helps you evaluate (measure) and learn. That’s part of what Charlie Munger’s lattice of frameworks is about
    • when there is a very high or very low interest scenario, low interest scenario then go ultra long term. Issued hundred years when the interest rate regime was very low
    • short term optimal is rally long term optimal. So you need to learn to take a loss and look like an idiot to play the long-term game
    • grit is a behavior that enables long-term thinking. Short term success gives you the luxury to think about long term
    • #IMP power is about optionality. It’s about being in a position where you have the options that can affect the positive change rather than circumstances controlling you. Read Robert greene’s book on the 48 laws of Power
    • low leverage enables that
    • begin with the end in mind. Always
    • how do you think about risk? Well, things do happen. It’s as simple as that
    • autonomy and decentralization helps derisk
    • do more and more of what works. That’s a powerful way of compounding
    • long-term investments are better than frequent trading because you get to reinvest the tax you otherwise would have paid. So unless the alternative is super compelling, stay invested
    • if you need to be the person who DOES the thing, you delegate less, leverage list, compound less, because you have to DO. BE A PERSON WHO SETS THE FIELD INSTEAD. The coach, the chess master, the director, patient strategist who Waits for the good hit
  • Being in Control motivates #Lesson. my cycle tires were flat. I thought it was someone pulling out the air and felt very demotivated. But once I carried my cycle pump, I felt so much more in control and power and felt a whole lot better
  • SourceGraph is the default platform for private code completion & search
  • MetaVoice 1B offers voice cloning on American & British accents with 30s training
  • Qwen 1.5 72B appears to outperform Mistral Medium, making it one of the top non-proprietary models
  • Llava 1.6 is a substantial improvement over Llava 1.5 and slightly better than CogVLM, Qwen-VL
  • AI scams are growing. Deepfakes scammed $34m. But voice fake for kidnapping is scarier.
  • Buildspace’s demo is a great demo of how voice and actions can be used effectively.
  • demucs does an EXCELLENT job of splitting songs into drums, bass, vocals and others
