Heard this at the beginning of YC. Context: Paul Graham invited us to his house to host an impromptu office hours at the beginning of the YC spring batch. However, instead of talking about our product, talking to customers, and finding product market fit, he got curious: ”How…
Don't drop out of college to start or work for a startup. There will be other (and probably better) startup opportunities, but you can't get your college years back.
When I speak of autonomy, this is what comes to mind — clear, deliberate ownership of one’s own life and path. This man owned the suffering and the work to get out of it, and advocated for himself when it mattered. Having agency isn’t only being able to say ‘no’.
I cant get over the fact that so many engineers still dont grok the fundamentals of what an LLM is. Repeat after me: its just pattern matching, it doesnt "know" anything
Construction is evolving! 24-storey tower in Switzerland - Mass timber structure - PV facade - Even rammed earth cladding on the lower floors By Boltshauser Architekten - a thread 🧵

Did you know one of the most groundbreaking medical discoveries in recent history came from a dying patient with no formal lab? In 2010, a young medical student named David Fajgenbaum was told he was out of time.
I was on my way to meet the team. Plain clothes. Unmarked car. Neutral face. Until I hit a checkpoint in Agege. One officer flags me down — chewing a toothpick and smelling like a hard life. “Where your tint permit?” I explained calmly: I’m on government assignment.
Chinese kindergarten enrollment is down 25% in just four years. The global demographic implosion is going to cause massive social and economic consequences, and it’s only getting started.
Every time you procrastinate, you reinforce that behavior. You’re training your brain to avoid hard things. Over time, this creates a self-sabotaging identity.
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.
If number 666 is evil, Then 25.8069758011 is the root of all evil.
I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour &…

TLDR the Tea app stores everyone's photo and ID enuncrypted in a public firebase storage bucket. Hahahahahah. Was this vibe coded?
Another quietly subversive paper. Urbanists are often young and childless — this is a unique demographic most interested in city centers Even in Copenhagen, people move to the city when young, but move out to suburbs when they get married/have kids, and don't move back
Nice paper and a theme of SI Urban so far: people don't like density, will pay to get away from it. Graph shows home price changes as you cross the line into a neighborhood with a higher minimum lot size. 1/

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in the world. Everyone is just trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore.
This is surprisingly common Nigerian masculinity is often defined by your ability to provide. That is why in "Good times" you can get away with almost murder In bad times.... On your own without safety nets
This man lost his job 2 months ago and his wife has been showing him shege, with all sorts of snide remarks. He could barely feed the family and he is so depressed. I nearly joined him to cry. I pray for all men out there, may you never lose your means of survival. Amin.
