14/n: Mould brings us more cool tech. Converting an image to brightness to waves to amplify only certain movement. Far more effective, and far simpler, than edge detection, and results in some fascinating results.

13/n: If you’re too honest on early dates, you scare people off. Yet if you’re never honest, you never gain trust. Being human is difficult.

12/n: Tattoo removal is a lot more intense than I suspected. It makes sense in hindsight, but it’s effectively “let’s just make the tattoo explode and hope for the best”.

11/n: The amount of impressions alone make this worth the watch! Hilarious.

10/n: I was considering moving to iPhone, but… This is horrific. How can something as simple as a keyboard not work correctly?

9/n: Never heard Huang’s story before. Definitely worth a listen - just skip the first few minutes of Joe fawning over Trump.

8/n: Very unique game. Weird, creepy, disturbing - but less so than many movies. Did not predict it would end the way it did!

7/n: 2 in 5 Stanford students are “disabled”. In other words, they feel sad occasionally, are addicted to social media, and are gaming the system to get better rooms and easier exams. Not a good sign for the future work generation.

6/n: More heroes - except these ones died.

5/n: I’ve always been curious about this group with their protests about organ harvesting. Seems like they’re a quasi-religious conservative cult and with a goal to destroy the CCP (who, to be fair, has persecuted them).

4/n: Again nothing new, again more good reminders. Possibly one to sit down and deeply reflect on each point.

3/n: Arguably it’s only 10 couples who have been together for 50 years, but still valuable. Nothing new, but a good reminder.

2/n: Most people think they’re currently living in the best period of their life. Overall, though, 20s wins, followed by 30s.

1/n: Make sure to differentiate raw observations from the created narrative surrounding it. Only the former is guaranteed to be correct.

5/5: Gen Z like feet and vertical videos; Millennials fetishes and role playing. Russian loves trans. The Philippines has proportionally the most females (and they’re typically young), the UK the fewest.

4/5: Seniority is about reducing ambiguity, not technical skills. This is what enables leadership; clearly communicated tasks. I’d also add in decision making.

3/5: Never knew these existed! Sadly it seems they’re dying out, and the giant ones may already have gone extinct.

2/5: Because our trains are so frequently late/delayed, they’re now run without passengers to avoid complaints and having to pay compensation. Absolute madness.

5 #shareworthy things:
1/5: People call him a hero. They’re right. And the fact he’s call Ahmed al-Ahmed truly shows it’s not about race or ethnicity - it’s culture and mindset.

5/5: OK, six people died, but 15-20 million visited, and it does look like it was a lot of fun…

4/5: Everything is a power law. The main takeaway - take #risks, it’s more important to be #persistent than consistent as a small #probability of a HUGE win (black swan events) exist and that’s the only way to escape mediocrity.

3/5: “The job you'd give anything for becomes the job you resent.” and others. Doesn’t mean you don’t resent it now, but still be thankful you have the opportunity to resent it.

2/5: “The U.S. #poverty line is calculated as three times the cost of a minimum food diet in 1963, adjusted for inflation.” This gives $31,200 for a family of four. The reality, including factors such as housing and childcare, is $130,000 to $150,000.

5 #shareworthy things:
1/5: I love stories like this - a “normal” person living in a council flat experienced a problem, so she built a solution, using debt instead of equity, hustling and taking risks to make it succeed.

5/5: Breaking down Charlie #Munger’s 25 #Psychology of Human Misjudgment framework. The top one, #incentives - as the saying goes, “it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

4/5: Most AI startups are just API calls to ChatGPT - and yet they still manage to get funding through storytelling (a.k.a. lying).
