The early 5.25-inch drive makers found this application (one might even say that they enabled it) by trial and error, selling drives to whomever would buy them.
Clayton M. Christensen • The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail (Management of Innovation and Change)
There’s a theory in evolutionary biology called Fisher’s Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection. It’s the idea that variance equals strength, because the more diverse a population is, the more chances it has to come up with new traits that can be selected for. No one can know what traits will be useful; that’s not how evolution works. But if you

.evolution .implementation Fishers fundamental theorem of natural selection is like Groww . Get a lot of traits . You do not know what is useful. Evolution will select a useful trait.
The goal isn’t maximum growth—it’s optimal growth. Your audience should expand at a pace that supports your dreams, not crush them.

Indeed, what is a lab experiment but the attempt to create a reality precisely like this one but where one key thing is changed such that it changes everything else around it? Such is the process of science: you attempt to fix all known variables so that you can understand the cause and effect of changing just one.

It’s what’s known as the classic cocktail party effect: one mention of your name, and neural systems that were sailing along snap into action. You don’t even have to do any work. Most things don’t have such nicely built-in flags to alert you to their significance. You need to teach your mind to perk up, as if it were hearing your name, but absent

Feynman phrases it thus: “Imagination in a tight straightjacket.” To him, the straightjacket is the laws of physics. To Holmes, it is essentially the same thing: that base of knowledge and observation that you’ve acquired to the present time. Never is it simply a flight of fancy; you can’t think of imagination in this context as identical to the

I hate to say this, but the interface dynamic, once again, favors big tech. Because the previous paradigm in Silicon Valley rewarded applications like Meta and Google that aggregated attention, and those same aggregators are the ones that are heavily investing in AI agents now, it is going to be hard for startups to break through. Not impossible!
