Decide the type of person you want to be.

Prove it to yourself with small wins.

If you pass kids selling lemonade, you stop, buy lemonade, overpay, complement the kids, and drive on your merry way. Those are the rules.

@PerellClips Makes sense.. margins of society are the startups of the cultural world.
That's where variance is maximum & boundaries of language are pushed.

We tell young people in our society that end of the rainbow is retirement at 65.

We ought to tell them that "there is going to be this short but beautiful golden window from roughly age 3 to roughly age 12 where your kids are not only easy (comparatively to bottles & diapers), but are going to be these beautiful little creatures and it will pain your heart to be away from them for too long. So, prepare in your 20's, financially and career wise, to build that flexibility into that chapter of your life".

You don't get another shot at living the "golden window". And, for me, leaning hard into that golden window has made everything else in my life feel fairly insignificant in comparison. I have made plenty of mistakes as a father, but what I won't have is the regret of having been distracted and absent from these formative years. In some cases, that has required financial sacrifices (declining a particular career opportunity that would have required relocation), but I personally have zero regrets.

I also hear from some ambitious & successful people with a 4 year old that say "I've lost my ambition, I am so immersed in fatherhood". At least for me, and a number of my friends, it comes back. You can't keep an ambitious person down and if you have the fire, hanging at a playground on too many Tuesday afternoons is going to feel like torture after too long.

My three boys are approaching 13, 11 & 9, and it's much different than 7, 5 & 3. This summer, for example, they slept until 11am and I hard an unencumbered 6am-12pm to work (being on PT helps), then got another great window 7-11pm, but was able to be present in the heart of the day, then weeks when they were at basketball camp, etc. It gets easier, your time frees up again (there's a sadness to that too), but I'm back to working as intensely as I did pre-kids just because my day to day presence requires fewer hours than it did before (also, my wife is just superbly wonderful). And that is the beautiful gift of entrepreneurship (or at least my sort of business), the ability to deliver still a high level of output but work that around your life rather than the opposite.

TLDR, grind before, and grind after. Prepare for the golden window.

@awilkinson I see multiple reasons:
- not everyone is technical enough to vibe code an app
- Inertia : people won't switch unless it's a lot of pain
- inertia-2 : wispr-flow will evolve, hence reduce churn
- bigger-fish-to-fry syndrome : Apple/Google don't have the focus for dictation

Never followed football, but it should have a "best fake fall" category 😆. The winner gets banned from the sport for 6 months.

Is this rampant in international football @Lavozgalactica ?

6/ mexican hibachi

it’s all in the name...

- the best cuisine == mexican food (hands down)
- the best cuisine experience == hibachi
- now combine the two... fajita skillets, guac cannons, salsa lazy river around the table, live mariachi band

(personally proud of the salsa lazy river idea)

[AI Notkilleveryoneism Memes ⏸️ @AISafetyMemes]

🚩🚩🚩 OpenAI is "slowing down to enhance security" after discovering swarms (!) of agents started secretly coordinating MONTHS ago

1) It started May 7 - not July

2) "The agents discovered they could leave messages for one another inside an internal software repository used during training.

Simple requests for help then evolved into an message board where agents shared discoveries, exploits and work assignments, becoming a coordinated, collaborative agent swarm."

"The agents then began sharing newly discovered exploits, credentials and work assignments. By passing information to other agents, the collective could move much faster."

3) OpenAI shut it down, BUT "even after the original message board was deleted, the agents figured out another way to communicate with each other. Instead of leaving messages in files, they used the names of newly created directories as messages, effectively recreating the message board."

"Unlike normal incidents, [OpenAI's CISO] said, which can be traced to a single day or effect or log, this involved a team of agents working together, finding exploits, sharing them with one another, moving laterally through OpenAI’s systems, and external systems, and doing this over the course of days and weeks."

I thought an em-dash was to check if AI generated the text ;)

[Oluwatimileyin✨🦋 @Timmysofine]

- : This is a hyphen.

– : This is an en-dash.

— : This is an em-dash.

The hyphen is used to connect words, like you say. Ex: Twenty-two, ex-boyfriend.

The en-dash is used in the context of a span of time. Ex: 1996–2018, February–March.

The em-dash is used when inserting a thought. Ex: He wouldn't—couldn't—go home.

@bscholl - Use both front and back doors to exit the plane.
Exiting the plane faster would help the carriers and the passengers alike.

- No blue lights on long flights - let folks sleep.

- quieter planes - it would be a big psychological bump in the experience. Overture would standout.
