The highest level of business abstraction is when you see a business as a financial instrument.

One thing that people do not understand about Nigeria is that most cities are physically very small. Almost everything in Uyo is 30 minutes from everything else. Apart from Lagos and Abuja, any business must not be built on the assumption that it is expensive for people to just go there by themselves.

The most expensive startup graveyard in Nigeria is grocery delivery + food delivery + anything bike logistics in Nigeria. What makes it expensive is that it seems to work initially, and then they all shut down.

If you bring someone a big deal, and after they get paid they are silent, and you discover the payment from someone else, what would you do? Would you ask them about it, or just go silent and never bring deals to them?

The "free speech" people who thought that it allowed them open racism are once again a beleaguered minority. For a short period, it seemed like they could say what they want without consequences. Now they need to again defend themselves - which is how it should be.

@paulg If a founder compared whites in Africa to Vultures and said that just like "vultures need to be culled", so too should whites be removed from South Africa if they do not behave - is that a person who is just being Politically Incorrect? Or is the person some kind of extremist?

Trying this out now to see if it improves a ui. Here is my prompt:

"I have posted two screenshots. The first one is the Anthropic settings window and the second is ours. I want you to judge which is better. If the anthropic one is better, then I want you to decide which parts of their own design is better and put it into a plan for improvements. Discover everything independently that is better with theirs compared to our own. Put each one individually into your planning file (make a folder called settings-improvement). For each thing they have that is better, spawn two agents - one of the agents will implement an improvement to make it BETTER than the anthropic one. The other will evaluate if ours is better. Once ours is better, you stop that work and move on to the next set. We are mostly focused on GUI and look and feel. Keep going till all subagents are happy that their part of the work is done. You evaluate both again, and if you are happy, we stop."

If you think you are too late to an industry that recently started, you are one year early.

@afalli I suspect so

Opus 5 is really unusable. I don't know what they did, but it just is not assisting with code anymore.

@Nefertiiti mma!

[Mark Essien @markessien]

@swombat That's just the pre-processing before you select from possibilities.

[Mark Essien @markessien]

Next token prediction is not reasoning. Reasoning is a search over possibilities to select one. Next token is the constrained outcome of a reasoning process within the token space.

@dhh @pmarca @tobi @patrickc Without the "Woke Mob", many of us here on twitter would still be slaves or would have our own segregated twitter. Your recent statements ("cull the wolves/gypsies") kind of shows that the mob was probably right.

@philngo_ @tobi "everyone is entitled to their opinion in a democracy" <-- he wants to end the democracy tho

[Mark Essien @markessien]

@AviOfLagos I don't have any

I like how @cremieuxrecueil is the IQ test for racist people. Once you see someone following or quoting them, only a matter of time till they say something very stupid on the timeline.
