Local minima are extremely rare in high dimensional spaces, so if you ever feel stuck in a rut it’s probably just because you aren’t considering a wide enough set of orthogonal options

Apple plans to hire 5,000 engineers in San Diego by 2026.

They have a careers page highlighting expansion strategy, amenities, etc.

.@pmarca's recipe for a great founder: two traits and one choice.

The traits: intellect and energy.

The choice: courage.

Courage is pain tolerance.

“A huge amount of what people have to do is just get used to getting punched. And the reason people don't understand this is because when you're a founder, you cannot let on that this is happening because it will cause people to think that you're weak, and they'll lose faith in you. So you have to pretend that you're having a great time when you're dying inside.”

My boss often ends his emails with ‘if not responded to within 1 hr you have resigned’

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week.

Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.
