you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional. you have to be delusional.

why does math induce a mystical experience in so many people

To really understand a concept, you have to "invent" it yourself in some capacity. Understanding doesn't come from passive content consumption. It is always self-built. It is an active, high-agency, self-directed process of creating and debugging your own mental models.

Just one more reduction, bro. Just one more category—another dimension will fix me, I know it. I just need another degree of freedom to properly dissect and pinpoint the trauma. Just a bit more decontextualization will allow me to properly locate and dissolve the embedding vector

learn to move without certainty. most people freeze because they don’t know “what’s next.” they want guarantees, formulas, validation. but nothing in reality gives you that. not in engineering, not in business, not in life. progress isn’t about knowing; it’s about figuring it

when i've observed the greats operating at their absolute best they resemble cracked out starcraft players to me. at the top of their game they embody action alone and forget causes, consequence, circumstance. this looks psychopathic from the outside: how does he not crack under

Computers are beginning to make management decisions. Therefore we must begin to hold computers accountable for their decisions.

As a young child, nothing can shock you, because you have no sense of the likelihood distribution of anything

I was interested in bringing mathematical models in my head to life so learnt coding and while at it I got curious about where the "code becomes metal" and took cs and now I am a full stack software developer who is shifting to AI

Not a single soul in the known universe reads poetry anymore, but it’s ironic because it seems like the perfect genre for today’s modest attention spans. Twitter is basically poetry, just really bad.

I admire Don Knuth for many things. But perhaps the most admirable is quitting email before I was even born.

The ladder of intelligence is the ladder of abstraction. L1: Memorizing answers (no generalization) L2: Interpolative retrieval of answers, pattern matching, memorizing answer-generating rules (local generalization) L3: Synthesizing causal rules on the fly (strong

The paradox of living in the present moment is that you must willingly give up on the illusion of free will. You must become a vehicle for the time flow through you without trying to control it.

Before physics was physics, it was metaphysics

Nature doesn’t build a 3D object by stacking infinitely many 2D slices; that’s just our mathematical decomposition. 3d is natural.

Productivity was built for average minds. Flow is how genius works. Productivity culture was designed to make factories and offices run smoothly. Genius doesn't operate within those constraints. Genius thrives in deep immersive states where cognition is fully engaged and complex

The finite state machine is one of the easiest patterns for managing complexity. Yet I hardly see it used.

I stopped searching for APIs. I just generate them. This tool records the workflow once → reverse-engineers the HTTP calls → and gives me a reusable API. I built a YouTube-download API in under 1 minute. Paste URL → get the full video in 3 seconds. UI is dead. And nobody

You either succeed in launching a consumer product, or you work on it long enough to uncover gaps in the service industry and create a thriving SaaS platform. :)

i stopped selling AI automation here's what i sell instead used to walk into meetings and say: "we'll automate your workflows" "AI will handle the repetitive stuff" "you'll save 20 hours a week" close rate? maybe 15% businesses heard "automation" and pictured: → robots
