Coralie wonders how the world can be made fair when two people who love each other can't even manage it.

You’ll hear how AI is helping designers focus on higher-level thinking, communicate better with developers, and push creative boundaries—all without replacing the human touch.

OpenAI structures its AI systems as ensembles of specialized models—similar to how human organizations work. Rather than relying on a single general-purpose model, they deploy multiple specialized models (some fine-tuned for specific tasks, others chosen for speed or cost efficiency) working together to solve complex problems. This mirrors how comp... See more

Alloying is the art of mixing elements to create something greater than the sum of its parts. While our intuition tells us that pure substances are best, alloying shows this is not always true. One plus one can equal ten. By blending ingredients in precise proportions, metallurgists can create mate... See more

Unfortunately #2: They don’t all have the same boxes.

Unfortunately #3: If it were that straightforward, your competition would ha... See more

V3 | Systems | Margin of Safety

Margin of safety is a secret weapon. It’s the buffer, the extra capacity, the redundancy that you build into a system to handle unexpected stress. It’s the difference between a bridge that can barely handle the expected load, and one that can hold ten times that load without breaking a sweat.

You can apply a margin o... See more
