.@naval: “I’m deeply suspicious of groups of people coming to the truth in anything.

It’s not to say groups are bad. Humans are cooperators by nature. We need groups to get things done.

But groups need consensus. A group that does not have consensus will fall apart.

A group will not admit its mistakes. It will not admit that it was wrong. It will not pivot. It’s not a truth-seeking entity.

Individuals can seek truth, and then based on that, they can choose to cooperate with others for limited periods of time to effectuate that truth, or to have something come out of it.

But if you’re really looking for truth, it’s the opposite of looking for social approval.

Truth requires feedback. It requires error correction.”

@johnny____11 可以請教是哪個案子嗎？謝謝🙏

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild:

40 direct reports, no 1:1s
- Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer
- Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting
- Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great"

No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system"
- Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.
- Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it
- Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning

Everyone has all the context, all the time
- No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute
- "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?"
- "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly"
- "I do a lot of reasoning out loud"

No formal planning cycles
- No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan
- Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is)

This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible

@royngerng @DPPonline Thanks for sharing!

@royngerng @DPPonline For (ii), I’m thinking of businesses that need to reinvest their profits back to grow, or those that are already on thin margins. I can see the argument that these companies should slowly be eliminated, though steep/sudden increases in minimum wage could cause more harm than good

[APC @ehpeecee]

@royngerng @DPPonline What kind of rate increases would you propose if you were them? Or other measures to fix this issue? They’ve been raising minimum wages and salaries, but the increases can also put a burden on businesses.

Taiwan can be its own worst enemy. It takes 2 to 6 months to register a business in Taiwan. But just a day in US or Singapore
"There's still a lot of work to do. The bureaucracy really needs to cut back. They need to just make stuff happen," @TimDraper said in Taipei today.

@FreddyLim Let’s meet up I’m going to be in DC

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear Happy birthday Emily!!! Have a great one and hope you figure everything out!

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear 哇 我們同一天確症 早日康復

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear I see. The one I had is in Neihu. The bread was great, the fillings generous and the flavors decent. I ordered chicken and pork, and finished both in one setting haha

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear The one that we looked up??

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear When are you back in Taipei next. Btw I had some decent banh mi today

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear 感覺國民黨在地方選舉還是相對成功。2024的話就要看他們的兩岸政策到底夠不夠貼近民意了，侯友宜目前都沒有特別表態立場，只是深藍在黨內似乎還是有極大的影響力

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear 了解。侯友宜形象維持的真的好，確實有機會。不過真的還早啦。

[APC @ehpeecee]

@mimitheear 恐的點是什麼

[APC @ehpeecee]

@liuraejin @yousuckMZ I’ll take it 😄

[APC @ehpeecee]

@liuraejin @yousuckMZ Why thank you lol
