Might not be par for the course for HN, but gotta drop a link with a light joke, with the background of the money grubbing guy (Temporal founder here) sucking up venture capital like vacuum cleaner who tries to argue he’s intellectually superior in a brag thread about his Company over a competitor (with significant OSS accomplishments) who is attempting to make the world a better place with a freely available primitive that isn’t just available to dev teams at mega teams at Netflix and OpenAI etc.

Stay humble / nice ego dude.

Can’t read: paywall & scamwall. At least don’t bury the lead, is it 4 / 15, or 11/15?

Love it!

Can you speak about how you are different from Univer [1] please?

The clinical American definition is 14 servings per week for men and 7 for women.

Personally, I was what you call a dipsomaniac. Colloquially that is called a binge drinker. I drank 4 to 9 days at a time from morning to night (and night time) without a break. Luckily I only drank like this 7 times in 4 years but I almost died in my last binge.

We see alcoholics of all kind in AA: frequent and a lot, infrequent and a lot, and frequent and little. The frequent and little are the hardest to crack because they have the hardest time with step 1. Now step one is actually comprised of two components: realizing you have a problem (easy for me) and also admitting you were not in control of your own life anymore (hard for me). Its only through doing the 12 step work really arduously, going to meetings and having a great sponsor that I was able to change enough to where drinking no longer ran my life.

Alcoholic here.

In my AA we say that alcoholism is a chronic disease. The same as (some forms) of diabetes, you don’t just get rid if it. Its something you can manage but not cure. It lies dormant inside of you the rest of your life.

My mentor (highly successful and 30 years sober) said it nicely: he has an angry tiger inside of him thats trapped inside a cage. One that will surely eat him if it gets out. His job is to keep the tiger in the cage.

Thats what it feels like. Every day. The cravings go down, the thoughts, etc. Self control improves. But the danger lies dormant for us.

All caps gang loud and clear.

I would consider myself borderline expert at this.

Find a way to deadlift and squat and bench: https://www.titan.fitness/ If you can splurge would _strongly_ recommend a belt squat that pulls you from underneath and does not create spinal tension.

Good luck!!!

I BFR. It's fine.

We're bike shedding now. If you want to get big, easy enough to do.

That’s literally how science works?

Hypertrophy has largely been settled and the main mechanisms and science underneath are well known by now. Call is post-2017.

Not rocket science. Strongly recommend Renaissance Periodization (the hundred of hours of lectures on YouTube if that’s your thing, the two main textbooks, the training templates, the meal books, or the meal apps) as a potential vendor if you’re on the simultaneously on the brainier/geekier and more ambitious to reach intermediate or further side of humans.

Pavlo has multiple series depending on your level of understanding. His advanced lectures are particularly satisfying as well as his interview series.

Also an old express user with “find close to free vpn” on my todo list today!! Thank you kind stranger

I believe this maybe might be due to YouTube being able to interject 2 advertisements on videos surpassing ~7 minutes in length and “engagement” (not clicking out) being a potential metric related to monetization.

If you can get the headline click with 30 seconds worth of insight, then your payday is related to padding to get to the appropriate length. Imho

EV, enterprise value?

Read the text messages (different lawsuit) between musk and prominent (imho) Oxford philosopher William McAskill. Musk is asked repeatedly to meet and take money from this brillian guy called SBF. It’s weird bc I read wills book and really looked up to him, but clearly SBF can be very convincing. Elon seemed to not want to do it but the text messages suggest he did eventually take a call.

So Elon must not have liked how that went since he was publicly encouraging others to roll over.

My speculation of course.

He’s had (guessing, including multi guest, and the mma pieces) close to 2,000 guests, and probably has spoken about trans a maximum of 5 times? Call it 1%. If you assume a 2 hour podcast length and a 2 minute instagram length clip that’s 0.01%ish? That’s probably at (or maybe significant below) main stream medias coverage of the topic but that’s a wild guess.

I’m guessing (but not willing to check although it’s easily empirically proveavle) that the variance in view count per episode more than outweighs any “trans conversation premium” if that even exists. At acquisition Spotify mentioned Joe was the most searched query in their search bar they don’t have.

The value of his podcast is the massive audience of humans who watch his 2 to 3 hour multiple times a week diatribes, it’s probably not the little clips that anger people. If you’re clicking at a trans clip and foaming of the mouth, you’re probably going to be super disappointed to listen to 10 hours of rogan and find no salacious topic included.

Plus I’m biased once but he swung by my ju jitsu gym once and he seemed like one of the most normal humans every and super humble.

It’s probably either: how he speaks, his takes in general, how others view him, how others reamplify him, or something else, but I really doubt he’s beating the drum on transgender rights since he’s he seems to in favor of all socially liberal topics in general.

They make you feel like you’re thousands of miles away just from a few short floors. Personally, upvote. (Also afraid of heights a bit)

Also worked at a $50B hedge fund. You wont beat the market. If you did, it took you 80+ hours per week for multiple years to be 50-52% accurate. And that’s pre fees.

Your financial returns will approximate world gdp plus a premium for risk tolerance adjusted for volatility. The OPs comment is directionally correct as gdp growth above 10% is harder to find nowadays and lower than 2% is much easier to find

Even better, outside of the illegitimate ones, if your role is at all applicable, Oracle sales reps will essentially love bomb you on a never ending basis and because their turnover is so high, you get a barrage of calls on any given day of irrelevant things. Honestly I wish the phone “app” didn’t exist. If it’s some you interact with a lot it’s very unlikely an unannounced phone call is what they’d go with.

Naive.

Arguably their careers are now both collectively and irreversibly ruined. Like the Nobel prize winner that invented some major form of fertilizer that turned out to be a nazi

The precise amount of tin foil you are carrying to protect yourself, in pounds, for one. /s

I actually pay for Synergy hence the curiosity :)

Thank you kind stranger.

George Bush right?

Abraham Lincoln?

Etc

Can you link to the software? It’s a pretty common term but sounds interesting

You should check out the economist, you’d be surprised it’s not all economics! Also those gosh darn New York Times newspapers don’t solely focus on NYC. Wtf!

Don’t judge a book by the literal interpretation of its title?

What does truth searching mean, that’s an interesting term.

Absolutely lost it at the coworking place. Luckily it wasn't too packed. Thank you kind sir.

I believe Texas is like this as well [1].
