@snowcra5h So I think in the end, if you're doing things where you need to optimize memory, but also save time but using useful abstractions, it's a good language

I think it's all about the developer in the end

If you can think clearly and code well, you can bring that in your cpp use

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

@snowcra5h C++ is very hated and for good reasons, but when you go down to practical matters

that language allows you to go as deep as needed when it comes to low level / systems operations

and it's bloated feature set means you can take your favorite methodology and code in it, FP for ex

@IterIntellectus amen

@jamiegraydesign @rob_deary @patrickc the point of openstreetmap is someone could build an app running on openstreetmap, with an interface that has these features you want

that app is not there but is just waiting to be coded by someone

@realGeorgeHotz https://t.co/jFoG5bdSqv is my favorite thing out there

only eco project that makes sense, because makes sense $-wise

many projects

taking on the boating industry https://t.co/g5sZcROmzj

big money from growing cordyceps on leftover coffee grounds

etc

@realGeorgeHotz @LinusEkenstam america was my dream as a kid, that dream faded down to nothing over the years

eastern europe, southeast asia, idk

I'd say biggest factors are visa and other government things, nightlife, landscapes/nature, and most important of all, opportunity to learn from smarter than you

@timbojones0123 @__tinygrad__ many can fly over, but not many can complete bounties

do the latter first

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

@__tinygrad__ tinygrad is the best

We are suffering a major misplaced-ambition crisis

[Venkatesh Rao ☀️ @vgr]

@Prigoose No it’s only the pinnacle of life for degen twitter D-list influencers like me good for nothing else.

Young people should aspire to cure cancer or something. There’s plenty of time to fail upwards to meme-minting after you’ve failed at better goals by 35.

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

The essential, which is not really nameable, can be found in the tension between what you discover by listening to yourself, and what you discover by listening and observing the world

Self-awareness/Intuition wrestling with Observation/Insight

THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS RECOGNIZE AND TRUST OUR OWN INNER NATURE, AND NOT LOSE SIGHT OF IT.

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

I'm reading spirituality

Scholar trying to bridge western and eastern philosophy

Should've started earlier

Strong source of meta-methods for approaching life/making decisions/finding the way forward
(instead of trying to organize/make sense of brain-crushing complexity)

Young People™ need better dreams

Huxley knew, Nietzsche knew.

over reliance on the intellect. too reliant, too myopic, narrowed in.

technocratic Keynesian economists lent me to this view, against hubris

one must cultivate all aspects of character, to be well rounded and moderated as aristotle referenced.

Prediction. For 2022

Chaos increases.

It will get weirder.

[Sam Altman @sama]

One of the most important career decisions you make is prioritizing status or substance.

Substance compounds and status decays.

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

@GRITCULT I don't want to just be a human tool

I want to philosophize, understand technology in relation to humans, cognition, history, etc

And build great things

But I can't learn all the things at once

Are there essentials mental models, theories, skills that would save me time?

[Sam's technical journals @s3m_bars]

@GRITCULT Do you have some thoughts on what kind of engineers will be relevant in the next few decades?

School I'm at is hardcore coding practice. No schedules, so I can split my time like I want.

Trying to put together an apprenticeship with the school and learning/tinkering at home
