The future is Amish.

From an ecological standpoint how is logging different than a naturally occurring forest fire? Or perhaps the forest fires never get strong enough to burn the old growth trees since they would happen more frequently via lightning strikes or natives clearing the brush/hunting?

Go to Latin America for a few months and think about what career would make me happy.

This is neat. It might be nostalgia but there was just something magical about using those early iPhones.

Yup. This whole thing was a publicity stunt.

There are so many reasons to do this but a big one is that investors/buyers are laser focused on retention metrics and companies with a lot of PLG customers have worse retention metrics since those customers are smaller and tend to start/churn more often. Another one is that it's unfortunately just more efficient to go upmarket after enterprise customers and let your PLG motion die on the vine.

Is Harness Engineering the new Prompt Engineering?

The aesthetics of this sculpture look very similar to the Moai on Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

This is the issue with using ChatGPT as-is in the web app. I use ChatGPT/Claude/etc in the Notion web app now to organize my pages of knowledge and keep everything organized. That said, ChatGPT/Claude in Notion seems to produce inferior results than using them directly which is frustrating. I'm not sure why this is but perhaps LLMs in Notion have too much context and get bogged down.

Wow it really does. Thanks for sharing.

I found the Dawn of Everything to be misleading - I did research on a few parts of the books that I found interesting and discovered the authors present many things as fact which weren't true or hand wave away or omit contradicting facts/viewpoints. Against the Grain was amazing though.
