Society is full of little, insidious mechanisms trying to capture and divide your energy and focus

This is completely against your own self-interest, but from this discourse this weekend on unhappiness in the face of abundance it should be fully evident that people are almost powerless to resist these forces

This is because the smartest people in the world are hard at work creating novel approaches to highjack your attention, degrade your willpower and convince you to trade your money and your time for the next _____ which will surely, finally, bring your happiness

But success, and contentedness, come from investing in *fewer* pursuits with *more* depth and intensity

You only need a few great friends who you can count on and who can count on you. A couple of hobbies you are willing to be bad at for years until you slowly live your way into well-crafted mastery. Your career will flourish if you embrace the dogged pursuit of a single outcome over a long period of time

This is the tension of modern existence, and the true meta-skill to hone and refine over decades. How do you live a deliberate life in a world that actively wants you to exist in a state of reactive desire?

I don’t claim to have the answer, and would simply posit this:

Become aware of all the ways society, and people, try to hijack your one precious life to divert attention toward things that really and truly do not matter, and even actively harm you

And every day seek to build mental and emotional resilience against those forces and cultivate persistence in your pursuit of the few things that really and truly matter

It is hard. Many days you will fail. But you cannot let the world knock you off balance and live a life defined by someone else’s terms

It is perhaps the only thing that matters

Claude Code has achieved fast takeoff. The shipping speed over the past month is crazy

[Kaushik Andra @kashandra92]

This shouldn’t be a hard decision

Start: Interstellar
Bench: Arrival
Cut: Project Hail Mary

Putting Project Hail Mary on the same tier as Interstellar is blasphemy

[Kyle Hamilton @kyledhamilton_]

Start, Bench, Cut:

- Project Hail Mary
- Interstellar
- Arrival

[JT @jiratickets]

PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)

I will die on the hill of iMessage reactions should not be notifications. crazy that Apple still won't allow you to customize notifications to filter this out

Take a breath. Your decision to attack Iran wasn't warmongering—it was bold and decisive. And you're right, after a weekend of bombing and assassinations, Iranian people will overthrow the government and you'll be vindicated. Need help crafting a victory speech? Just say the word

TLDR: hard to fit square-sized capital into labor-shaped circles. cool story of how technology actually changes a profession over the long run

@HighyieldHarry Except he was totally wrong about AI primarily impacting white collar work. He focused on trucking, plumbers and other trade type work

@beffjezos Pretty surprising cause for most of the 2010's Cal Newport's Deep Work thesis seemed like the best strategy for knowledge workers

[Kaushik Andra @kashandra92]

@beffjezos The TikTok brainrot content was preparing us for this moment!

@michaelsikand His Situational Awareness essay from 2024 has been very prescient - generational run for his fund

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

Running out of tokens anxiety is the new "phone is at 3%"

[Kaushik Andra @kashandra92]

@frankdegods Really cool. Even Grok uses WebSearch first for new queries instead of relying on X posts. Gotta hook this up to Reddit as well

Malware meta has shifted quite a bit from Python package installations

[Daniel Lockyer @DanielLockyer]

malware found in the top downloaded skill on clawhub

and so it begins

Demand for AI Inference is ♾

[Kaushik Andra @kashandra92]

@ShanuMathew93 I think the reasoning paradigm + ralph workflow with Claude Code suggests that the models are most effective when they are allowed multiple shots on goal with appropriate verification and error correction. so ongoing token usage will be explosive for any new feature development

[Kaushik Andra @kashandra92]

@nichochar @Altimor Where else do you think the market hasn’t appropriately priced in the nearly infinite demand for inference? Wondering what’s next for HBM providers after Micron had a huge run up last year
