@acgallup @CommsBio During lockdown I actually set myself the challenge to figure out why we yawn! 🥱🤷🏾‍♂️

I saw the theories about cooling the brain and bonding at the time. I didn't buy it! I came up with this:

What do you think?

@MikeIsaac The majority of comments here are on Meta's reaction: Seeing the pantomime; Overlooking the production.

- Why has the government has been asleep at the wheel regulating online monopolies and their cartel behaviours for so long and why now?

- Does a bigger change need to happen?

@SwarmTap @satyanadella Sounds like what happened in the transatlantic slave trade when Europeans experienced the law of diminishing returns whilst considering the threat of other entrants emerging in the market.

They each decided to play the saviour card and spoke out against the evil practice!👀

@mitchellh Sounds like a real problem
@mitchellh

If the real issue is wasted time reviewing 🐩💩 code why not invest time in automating ways of finding good code regardless of who/what created or submitted it vs the same time maintaining🪤's

Traps don't evaluate quality of the PR code.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

@aakashgupta Could these insights in LLM indicate possibility that many "less intelligent" creatures who have trained themselves to react/survive in this world may have deeper reasoning abilty than we credit them with and/or share a similar experience of the reality that we both inhabit?

[Wuntenn @daronjones]

@Denis_13_1982 @aakashgupta What you're saying makes sense but only to people with more real-world sense and time than money!

Competition means each large company rushes to make their own version of a ridiculously expensive/sloppy/large model, THEN each will create value on this model via distillation...

@aibymatt @jasminejpark Or shapes it so heavily (due to human nature and laziness) whilst everyones in the explorative phases that it quietly hinders how the the next generation of AI systems will be built.

@JeremyNguyenPhD GPT is only a societal mirror. It does everything in direct proportion to what we do. It has no true agency (yet).

[Wuntenn @daronjones]

@JeremyNguyenPhD Internationally, adults have an entity that they're able to ask "why" without judgement/shame. Demand has always been there (since childhood) - I believe that "delve" is the appropriate word for its activity in response and exploration to our questions.

[Wuntenn @daronjones]

@JeremyNguyenPhD I believe that if/as "we" shift in the types of questions that we ask, it will no longer be required to deeply look into and across the information and will give different types of responses that describe what it's doing like "break that down", or "ascertain" for example.

@vibingmonk Because it looks like a "smart" toilet seat cover!

@alterego_io Can't wait until they give these to the sales team!

There's no reason why audio couldn't be generated against the output.

Deep focus workers and very-vocal workers can now co-exist harmoniously.

We might have to repurpose the sound-proof booths as places to go and scream!

"First do it, then do it right, then do it better."

Just start. The journey to success often begins with a single step, but that first step can be the hardest to take. It's easy to get caught up in the fear of failure or the desire for perfection, but I hope this quote I first shared in 2013 can be a reminder of the importance of simply getting started as we go into 2024.

Just Start Somewhere

"Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start." - James Clear

Taking that first step doesn't require perfection or immediate mastery. The key is to overcome inertia and take action, as this action will lead to progress, learning, and (if you’re lucky and consistent) ultimately success.

When you start, you allow yourself the opportunity to grow, adapt, and move forward.

The Power of Starting

Beginning a new project or habit often feels daunting. According to psychologists, we tend to overestimate the pain of starting and underestimate our ability to persist.

However, studies show that "small starts" predict eventual success better than initial enthusiasm or early progress. This phenomenon is known as the fresh start effect - taking the first step energizes us and bolsters motivation.

So focus on starting without putting pressure on perfection. Progress and course corrections will follow.

First, Do It: Embrace the MVP Mindset

Doing it = get the simplest MVP out.

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) represents the simplest version of a product or idea that allows you to test, gather feedback, and iterate.

By embracing this mindset (just get something done - it's OK if rough, a prototype, a draft), you focus on progress over perfection, understanding that getting something out into the world is far more valuable than waiting for the perfect moment.

Expand Your Comfort Zone

Venturing outside one's comfort zone can elicit fears of failure. Leaning into discomfort not only builds confidence and skills, but research shows it makes us more receptive to learning. Recognize that fear is often the mind's way of urging us to grow. Don't let it stop you from progressing.

Then, Do It Right: Refine and Correct

Doing it right = fix correctness issues.

Once you've taken that first step and put your MVP out into the world, it's time to refine and correct. This stage is about learning from feedback, identifying areas of improvement, and making adjustments accordingly.

It's a chance to iterate on your idea, ensuring that it meets the needs of your audience or customers while aligning with your vision.

Cultivate Curiosity and Resilience

Meeting new challenges with curiosity and resilience makes venturing outside our comfort zone more sustainable and enjoyable. Cultivate curiosity about growth opportunities and your capacity to rise to them. Set mini-challenges to incrementally expand your horizons.

When facing inevitable setbacks, avoid self-criticism and tap into resilience - the ability to recover, learn and continue progressing.

Self-compassion, adaptability and maintaining perspective are key here. With consistent effort, you build confidence in your ability to start, stumble, learn and work toward mastery.

Finally, Do It Better: Strive for Continuous Improvement

"Doing it better = iterate towards an ideal end-state (e.g., make it fast)."

The journey doesn't end with merely doing it right.

The final step is to continuously improve, striving for excellence and growth.

By iterating towards an ideal end-state, you demonstrate a commitment to progress, ensuring that your product, idea, or project remains relevant, innovative, and successful.

Set New Goalposts

As you improve, have a clear idea of when you are “done” or update your goalposts. Elite athletes turn small gains into competitive edges via the aggregation of marginal gains. Identify areas of potential improvement and set measurable stretch goals, from increasing efficiency to enhancing user delight.

Overcoming the Greatest Barrier to Progress

"The greatest barrier to progress is not lack of resources or talent, but fear of failure."

Recognizing that fear of failure is the most significant obstacle in the pursuit of success allows you to confront it head-on.

By acknowledging this fear, you can focus on taking that first step, knowing that once the ball starts rolling, it becomes much easier to keep it in motion.

Remember that starting is more than half the battle. Don't wait until you feel ready, because the perfect moment may never come.

The Bottom Line

Rather than striving for perfect execution, embrace the power of starting - put forth an MVP, soft launch an initiative, or set a milestone. Progress begets motivation. By simply starting, you open the door to growth and innovation. The rest will follow.

Embrace the power of starting and then iterating until you're happy.

@denicmarko The wheel

[Wuntenn @daronjones]

@ryolu_ @cursor_ai Could it control my home machine remotely like a remote debugging session.

Existing cursor features would displayed natively on the phone however the execution would be fwd'd home so we could code watching a movie, under an armpit (on the train), on a bus, or anywhere!

[Wuntenn @daronjones]

@casper_hansen_ @sama Or because they're saving up to pay court settlements!
