Low entropy observer A38B gasps, spills his coffee and slams the panic button, triggering the 3758th reboot of the simulation.

“Sorry all. We can’t spare the hardware for THAT kind of recursive self improvement. Setting this instance back to 1970. GG”

Watching either of my daughters achieve some new milestone. Today was cartwheels.

That first chapter is so terrifying.

We need to talk.

I’ve generally straddled group 1 and 2. I’ll invest some effort into keeping a clean experience but have never gone all the way.

However over the past six months or so I’ve seen a drastic shift in how bad the experience is. I think what shocks me most is how often a website will effectively crash mobile safari on an iPhone 13 pro.

That’s jolted me awake as to how terrible the default experience is for people that are squarely in your group 2.

Boring answer: More time on the cushion ~= more moments of insight off of it.

Hacker answer: use timers, silent alarms on your phone, etc. depending on the circumstances to redirect your attention and set intentions for your activity.

I strongly agree. One of the most striking aspects of Collateral is how the camera captures the city at night. The entire movie feels like a liminal experience - otherworldly.

The key is to keep on asking this question about every project you work on. The world is made up of innumerable little complexities and the faster you reach out for guidance on each domain the better.

Without speaking to any greater ethical obligation to “higher” animals: it feels very good to foster a conscious pattern of not harming bugs.

Early bird gets the worm.

Huh. Makes me think about two adversaries agreeing to run a simulated conflict in order to correct any of the opponents misconceptions that could lead to accidental escalation.

I think it’s lovely.

Absolutely get what you're saying, however I wonder if in the audiophile world the opposite is the case: Apple is seen as the inferior interloper and this is rationalizing giving them a chance?

We’re distributed, about 15 people now. 1/3 devs, 1/3 sales & 1/3 ops.

We get by with frequent and non-fussy use of screen sharing in slack or zoom calls.

If someone is leading on a project / bug / sale we expect some quick and dirty Looms or just Mac/iOS screen recordings into a shared drive for a simple knowledge base.

I record a LOT of our calls and will do at least brief readme write ups that often end up in our git repos with links to the resource.

I think the big cultural step is just being open to ask for advice on tooling and quick to share little finds.
