Landowner David Hampton planted larch pines in a douglas fir forest in Oregon in the shape of a giant, 300 feet smiley face 🙂 Every autumn the larch pines turn orange and the smiley face stands out. https://t.co/bslwJI9IzF

“do things that don’t scale” is a nice way of saying stop looking for efficiency and leverage before you’ve earned it

the journey from information to meaning involves more than simply filtering the signal from the noise. It is an alchemical transformation, always surprising. It takes skill, time and effort, practice and patience. No matter how experienced we become, success cannot be guaranteed.

AI and Leviathan: Part I

Samuel Hammond secondbest.ca

“AI is a microscope. It increases the information resolution of the universe. This has many amazing implications but also many scary ones”

Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.

Business Building

A candidate just pulled a brilliant salary negotiation move: Most ppl: “If you don’t increase my salary to $X, I won’t join.” This candidate: “I’m going to join, even if you don’t increase my salary to $X, but I’d LOVE if you did!” She got the full salary increase. 🎉

I love this quote by Alexander Haymen. I suspect this is why i don't feel at home on the Internet: "Home is where people notice when you’re not there."
