I'm subscribed to Marketing Examples and this reminded me of his example of "CRAPPY, BORING, BLAND, UNINTERESTING" AI writing:
I was ready to call BS as my debt clock, which is supposed to sync to the Treasury's website daily, didn't show $38T.
But I think it's just buggy and hadn't sync'd in awhile, because it showed $38T on restart.
I like running my own LND node and using Alby Hub/nwc as the programmatic interface and Zeus for management.
i guess it depends on the definition, but i tend to think of ACINQ like it's a sidechain. an individual channel has chronological state, but i suppose it's not really "chaining" transaction history into blocks, nor maintaining chronological state across all channels in an interdependent way.
still, i like the metaphor and thinking about many well-defined psbts as a sidechain-like layering mechanism.
I like Cal but I feel like he's projecting his superhumanness on an irrational market here. This is a land grab - OpenAI is attempting to occupy every possible niche in the AI future that they can imagine. It's the only moat they have - raise retarded amounts of money, provide expensive things for free starving any fledgling competitor, rinse and repeat until the irrationality begins to wane, then build an insanely invasive advertising empire leveraging all the souls trapped on their technological continent. They are running through Google's playbook at 10x speed.

I didn't know about until after I started SN. But lots of people brought it up over the years. It also came up in the The Anarchists. I never looked super deep into it.
Certainly there's more incentive to pretend one loves something than to hate it. Love/praise can operate like Pascal's wager.
Apologies for missing that you were looking for autobiographies specifically. I haven't read many of them
QA of my boil-the-ocean refactor. It's all done finally but it needs:
- a couple passes over edge cases
- a couple additional passes over sensitive areas
- a thorough review of the performance of critical paths (which I intentionally ignored until now)
This all took way longer than anticipated. The side-effects of these fundamental code changes were more significant than I imagined.
At one point I started a habit of reading so-called one-hour or short biographies - biographies in book form that could be read in an evening.
I didn't keep the habit very long, but of those that I read, I enjoyed:
- Abraham Lincoln by James M. McPherson
- It's All in Your Head by Russ which is part Memoir and part self-help
All told I've read maybe 10 biographies. Of the long ones, I most enjoyed Steve Jobs by Isaacson. I got a quarter of the way through Titan many years ago, which I found enjoyable, but it contained more minutia than I tend to like.
