roy lee, the founder of cluely got lost his spot in harvard because he was caught "sneaking out" of a high school field trip

if you played hooky on a high school field trip in 80s or 90s you would probably not lose your college admission to harvard

this police state attitude completely sterilizes young people socially, their parents regulate behaviour and monitor people with airtags and life360

it is worth more, but you have to do 100% of the work to get 25% more upside.

Or take $5m and get no more upside and 70% less work. The "work" here is dealing with regulations, insurance companies, administration, payments, and accounting, not actually looking after dogs

the PE model is often to provide a competent regtech/administration core and then plug heaps of regulated businesses into it and centralise all the admin

imagine opening a vet in SF in 1950 in a cheap shoplot and people just paid you with hard cash or cheques in person, you wrote receipts with a biro, and filed taxes once or twice a year on a few sheets of paper... compared to now

the biggest problem with claude is it is so negative and tells you things can't be done, are wrong, have hidden problems, etc

I run things through grok to make them positive again after claude does the main work

There was a time when life was much simpler. We would all walk a few miles down to the 'station then have breakfast and read the 'paper while the steam smoke hung thick in the air

Then we all had to move to cars. The fire man, stations, engineers, and conductors all lost their jobs, and the commute got 10 times more intense. Now we had to drive our own cars, follow road rules, maintain our cars, and find parking

the US is the most charitable country on earth as a percentage of GDP. There is so much philanthropy that the finance industry is building new businesses just to serve it

maybe like this, gary oldman 1990s would have been good. there needs to be a feeling of some edge or at least mystery, depth

"A complicated man" is a stupid translation in the first place

Polytropos means: a man of many twists and turns, describing simultaneously a person who has traveled widely and been "turned" by many hardships and places, as well as someone whose mind is clever, resourceful, versatile, and cunning enough to turn any situation to their advantage

Or as W2 academics chasing book reviews and podcasts slots translate: "a complicated guy"

the perfect actor would be someone with james bond spy thriller feeling not commercial guy that has the energy of a little league coach
