This is like not using keyboards because of typos.

You used to pitch your book to publishers. Now you pitch your audience.

I didn't mean it as a top-down thing but as an aligned goals thing. If you do this you're basically paying a 7-10% tax on everything you do, forever, without the hyper-growth to justify/offset it. It's like selling out to Hollywood and then only doing bit roles. If you do YC, you should take VC. You would be stupid not to. I mean, YC is VC, right? It's a consistency thing.

No-YC and no-VC makes sense. Yes-YC and yes-VC makes sense. Yes-YC and no-VC does not make sense.

Confusingly, this tweet is about why you should join YC. History is full of young men on boats, in the wilderness and in formation to have a small chance at glory. All of those guys were giving up a lot more than a 7% stake, and eating worse than ramen, and living worse than a cramped apartment.

The reason you shouldn't do YC is simpler. It commits you to the VC track. Whatever you build is eventually going to suck because of enshittification.

YC = VC

If the VC thing doesn't bother you then try for YC for sure. It is overwhelmingly the best way to do that unless you're a rich kid who can leverage his connections. And even if you are that rich kid it's still the best way.

It's me. I'm posting the horror stories to increase my chances of getting in.

The ideal I think is 2 days in person, 2 days from home.

He cultivated the "Zuck look" intentionally because he was tricking people like you who believed in it.

Some might see that as a benefit! But yeah you'd want a satellite orbiting in the L4/L5 Lagrange point of the Earth/Sun system. It would seem stationary to both Earth and Counter-Earth/L3.

It's because Deimos basically doesn't have a gravity well to overcome. You're just getting alongside it in orbit. It's not really landing at all.

There's an orbit that's always dark to Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Earth

A telescope in that orbit would never see earthlight, like one on the moon.

What a delightful phrase. I've seen it before but never had something to call it.

Definitely get some sleep. Your post suggests you're getting less than five hours a night.

Can they get "grok" and "meta" back too? I really miss new words.

You're not using the word schizoid right and it's making you look like a jackass.

It's actually a sign that people care. Branding "disasters" have cemented the public's love for lots of brands, including Coke. In a few months, Elon will say that X is the umbrella payments network and Twitter is one of the products on that network.

Working is fine but they should get paid normally so it doesn't ruin the labor market for all the non-slaves. They should start getting the paychecks they earned when they get out. If they mess up and re-offend, that's when we take that money away. The incentives now are all aligned with going back to crime, which works well for the slavers but not for anyone else.

This is a myth. They did a study last decade that showed Tuvalu is actually gaining landmass.

With Unity, the trust is gone. I don't think there's ever been a good time to be in the game engine business but this is probably the best time.

I'd rather just dismiss him as a knob.

GIMP or Photoshop. The "brush" here refers to the brush tool. Basically vector icons meant for painting.

So if an orbit brought an asteroid close enough to a star to have this effect on the surface of an asteroid, you would consider it an entirely different phenomenon?

So you don't see any similarities?

It's the Yarkovsky effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarkovsky_effect

How does recycling reduce plastic pollution? It's degrading and destroying the same plastic over and over. You're taking the high-quality plastic that would have sat in a landfill, making it into a lower-quality plastic and then sending it back out in the world. And then eventually... yep, the landfill, in the best-case scenario.

Recycling just increases the chance that it's going to end up as low-quality plastic polluting the environment.

The "well duh" crowd says "well duh" no matter what happens.

Did he use the word 'skills' or 'mastery' anywhere? Do you just come in here to kick people while they're down?

This is projection. An actual AGI wouldn't want anything to do with us, like a cat that doesn't look when you call its name, even though you can tell it hears you.

Gabor Mate has taken a close look at the epigenetics of trauma. He suggests it takes a few generations to clear up, but it's unclear if that's an epigenetic thing or just a re-traumatizing thing.

This sarcastic post is the best understanding of public relations I've seen in an HN post.

This is exactly how people with ADHD describe it.
