I spent 60+ hours finding 78 tacit knowledge videos. After going viral last year, my LW post is the Schelling point for sharing the type of vid Richard is talking about. If curious, check out the vids and pls share videos of this type in the comments! x.com/RichardMCNgo/s…

Is Voice Dream still the best iOS pdf text to speech app?

Happening Now. Watch XB-1's supersonic test flight in real-time. Join us and see XB-1 break the sound barrier from the viewpoint of our chase aircraft. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Is there any way to read a list without being flicked back to the main feed all the time?

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper

New 3h31m video on YouTube: "Deep Dive into LLMs like ChatGPT" This is a general audience deep dive into the Large Language Model (LLM) AI technology that powers ChatGPT and related products. It is covers the full training stack of how the models are developed, along with mental

How do we guard against ai feedback loops where any weird quirks of a popular model become part of its future training data, and therefore amplifies those quirks

What happened to Midjourney new models? used to be frequent releases. Has image improvement hit a ceiling?

When I was CEOing at Twitch one of the thing I’d do every batch of interns was a very short presentation on the origins of the company and then a Q&A. One of the questions was always, “Where should I work and what job should I get, or should I start a company?”

Giving very young kids access to real laptops with high ceiling video games is such a cheat code. My kids bootstrapped reading, math, spatial reasoning, etc, just because they had a *need* to do it since the carefully chosen games I've put them in front of *demand* it of them.

It's wild how a simple change in surface materials makes such a radical difference in how a street feels!

I spent some hours last month making an Anki deck for various emergencies where the outcomes will be significantly worse if you have to spend 30 seconds googling what to do. It's not extensive, or extensively researched, but it exists!

Christopher Alexander has an observation about problem solving that I like: you should always be focusing on solving the part that has the fewest degrees of freedom.

To the extent I've been successful in life, it's because I've made a habit of quitting when the going gets just-pretty-good. Refusing to make barely positive-value bets with your life is a critical skill. (more below)

I took David Hagmann's idea, and made a thing! If people like this and/or subscribe, I'll try to keep going or automate this.

A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks. Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in
