A startup can be best in the world in at most one thing. Choose your focus carefully, and avoid all temptation to broaden scope unless it means getting better at what you already do.

Long-term future of humanity will require not just interplanetary redundancy, but to have multiple independent civilizations heading away from each other at near speed of light.

Most impactful lecture from college—matrix determinants:
Low road: define formula, prove zero iff invertible
Middle road: define as function that is zero iff invertible, prove it is unique, derive formula
High road: construct via exterior product space
Seek better abstractions.

Key skill to building a complex system that they don't teach you in school: how to add enough breadcrumbs — logs, metrics, alerts, etc. — for operators to understand what happened for events of arbitrary weirdness. Best way to learn is to do it wrong enough times.

One benefit of marriage I did not fully understand in advance: there is now a person who is even more invested in your day-to-day happiness than you are. Means that someone is actively finding ways to improve your energy, which is a huge boost in productivity & creativity.

Optimization has a way of triggering all the right dopamine centers in your brain. Wild to watch the same process that was taking minutes to run execute in seconds. Rare to see such objective payoff of your work entirely within the confines of your computer.

Those who have made their name by proclaiming doom have great incentive to see it around every corner.

This is a cool use of DALL-E: putting AI images to lyrics to make a music video. I love what creative folks do when they have new tools. #OpenAI #dalle2
