If small size, I recommend lots of plants and capping any "live" substrate with sand. Had one going with shrimps and a few endlers for years. I only topped the water up and very occasionally changed the water. Not that it really needed it.

After the first few weeks, it just soldiered on with minimal algae or intervention needed. It's a lovely thing to have, I can recommend it. (That said, I also have a small aquarium problem according to the wifey)

Completely agreed. The point is the knowledge, the learning and the journey. If a kid has a passion for building or toying with LLMs, then of course, by all means, please start tearing them apart or even build and train your own model. You'll learn a ton, even if you won't necessarily end up using it here and now. The learning experience will compound and of course that will be useful.

The above is, after all, the whole genesis of the word 'hacker'. We should celebrate that.

What’s a better lang in your opinion?

Seeing a lot of criticism in here, some valid, some not. Just wanted to say that, to me, this is really well put together - and seems like a lot of thought went into this. Appreciate you releasing this publicly!

I actually don't disagree with you on this. Can absolutely see how this can create friction, but it's also one of those cases when dealing in absolutes is fraught with peril. A CTO is not a CPO and having strategies being defined - or steered by a singularly technically-minded person can work fine in a lot of scenarios, but for others, it's important to foster a certain level of autonomy for managing, growing and building the product, feature set and roadmap. Same thing in reverse.

There's definitely overlap between the two, but a collaborative approach works better in my opinion. As a disclaimer, I'm a CPO myself - and enjoy the working relationship and collaboration with the CTO, while reporting directly to the CEO and the board. Also, I guess that sometimes it really comes down to the types of personalities that are present in the management team - as well as the type of product being built.

Did you really read the article? Or are you talking in more general terms?

The mother is full on accepting of her son and use it to question her own motives in life. As a parent, I found the read very refreshing.

What are basic things to you?

I feel compelled to answer here, mostly because I've been and to a degree still are where you are.

It's extremely common to gradually move into a state of mind where you denigrate yourself – and the effort you've put forth in life. You need to ensure your own happiness, and no one in here, or anywhere else, can tell you how to do that. Mindfulness is a great tool, because it allows you to become more certain of yourself. To discover what it is that you feel and where it is you need to go.

That being said, here's what works for me: Acknowledging that creation is hard, but that I love creating and helping people around me. That family is important and love even more so. I also remind myself to do something new every day that somehow moves the boundary of what it means to be me.

Added note: A book that also helped me realise my own tendency to create barriers around myself was "The Flinch" by Julien Smith. It's awesome and I highly recommend giving it a read – and practice some of what it champions. I suspect you will gain a lot from it, but then again: Only you can know that.

I find that a lot of companies that refer to themselves as being bearers of startup culture, is mostly trying to cater to younger people or at least a young mindset - not because they're necessarily trying to hide insane working hours or demands. Sometimes it truly is about passion and keeping a "beginner's mind". Definitely not for everyone, but to me it feels very inspiring and empowering.

(I work for 15+ year company that like to view itself as a startup - but the partying is definitely optional)

Because he made short sellers look like idiots? I think not. I just bought more.

You don't usually own the plane that crashed. Unless if you're Elon Musk of course.

I think the community is fine with it, if not outright wishing for it.

Institutional money can add a big boost to crypto, although it in turn provides amble opportunity to control the market. Which they're probably already doing to some extent.

We'll see how it plays out, but I'm pinning my hopes on tokens and networks provided by Ethereum, EOS or similar.
