Things I Learned - 23 Jun 2024

This week, I learned:

• Luma Labs Dream Machine generated videos. It’s free and is of reasonable quality. Update: 6 Jun 2025. Costs $10/month
• LLM DataHub has LLM training datasets, regularly updated
• From Dan Becker on running a workshop
  • Answer questions at the end, not in parallel in a chat, to avoid distraction
  • Have fewer words in slides when presenting. It’s less distracting
• Morgan Housel Shane Parrish podcast
  • Risk is what stops you from achieving YOUR goals. What’s risky for me may not be risky for you
  • The lesson from compounding is that you want to optimize for duration, not return. That’s what does the heavy lifting. Survival, consistency, long term - these matter. The performance does NOT matter.
