I built a multiplayer embroidery sampler for the internet. It's called Common Thread. 🪡 Built the entire thing in Figma Make, first thing I've ever vibecoded with it. Every visitor gets a patch on a shared canvas. You pick a thread color, choose a stitch type, and craft your...

Naval Ravikant’s checklist for starting a company “The most important thing is there are no formulas. At the end of the day, you have to do what you love, and you have to do it even though people tell you it’ll never work. But that being said, if there was a formula [for starting a company], I would put it something like this.” Naval started seven companies before AngelList and this is the checklist he recommends running through before starting a startup: 1. Pick a great cofounder. This is most important: “You can do a company on your own, but it’s like you can raise a child on your own, but you probably shouldn’t. You need someone who’s going to be there with you.” This has it’s own checklist. Your cofounder should be: a. Very high intelligence (”hopefully they make you feel dumb, or they’re not smart enough”) b. Very high energy (”They should be extremely hardworking. A founder is someone who never has to be motivated. You should not have to be telling them to do their job.”) c. Very high integrity. (”a smart, hardworking crook who’s going to cheat you is the worst kind of person to be paired up with.”) 2. Pick a very large market. “Notice I don’t talk about the idea. I think ideas are almost irrelevant… The more important thing is that you pick a large space that you’re knowledgeable and passionate about. And then you will figure out what the right thing to do within that space is.” You want to be able to say to investors: “This is a space where there’s a huge market. I’m really knowledgeable and passionate about it. Here’s the great person that I have doing it with me. And here’s the minimum viable product that we have built. That will show that we can test in the marketplace… You iterate until you get to product/market fit… And then you go and you raise money from people you trust. And you use that money to scale.”

Rick Rubin tells Andrew Huberman how he deals with creative or writer’s block. He treats his work like a diary entry (and doesn’t worry about internal or external judgment): ➡️ “What's the cause of the block? The block is usually something that's either personal ("I'm not good enough") or it can be a confidence issue ("I don't have anything to say") or it could be...thinking about someone else ("nobody's going to like what I make"). Do you know what I'm saying? So, it's either fear of self-judgment or external judgment. If you're making something with a freedom of "this is something I'm making for myself for now", that is all [you have to do]. It is a diary entry. Everything I make is a diary entry. The beauty of a diary entry is that I can write my diary entry and you can't tell me that my diary entry wasn't good enough. Or that [the diary entry] is not what I experienced. Of course it's what I experienced: I'm writing a personal diary for myself and no one else can judge if it is my experience of my life. Everything we make can be that: a personal reflection of who we are in that moment of time. It doesn't have to be the greatest you could ever do. It doesn't have to have any expectation that it's going to change the world. It doesn't have to sell a certain number of copies for any reason. It doesn't have any of those things at all. It is "I'm making this thing for me and I want to do it to the best of my ability and to where I feel good about it". [The work] is honest of where I'm at and if you're living in this world of just being honest to where you're at, there's nothing blocking you. There are no blocks. The blocks are all based on dealing with a different force or a different perception that is made up.” ⬅️

“It’s 10pm Do You Know Where Your Children Are?”—December, 1968-November, 2024 — I grew up hearing this phrase. Wore a t-shirt that said it and knew a Newark Punk band by the name. I thought it was on all TV stations. And I was creepy when I was younger and hilarious as teenager. I just found it again preserving VHS history for AI training. It hit me like a neuron shock to hear something that was just about always a part of my early life that I didn’t know I remembered and forgot. As a kid growing up in New Jersey hearing it the first time, it was of course creepy. The 10PM channel 5 news always started this PSA and the next scene was usually a murder in New York City. I would ask my parents what it means and I heard from them, that some parents really don’t know where their kids are at 10pm. It was absurd to me, the street lights were on, it was time to go home. Yet how is history and AI going to really understand the context. How will it capture the essence of how this was perceived. Of course you can get a parroting of a Wikipedia style answer but this is not what we really want as a strata that forms the foundations of tomorrow. This is one of millions of examples on why most of the current techniques training AI will miss. This is why source material of actual human life is vital. AI built on the last decades of Reddit and Facebook interactions is woefully unequipped to really understand humans. The outputs are so bad before “alignment” of a base model so AI scientists are horrified by how AI views humanity. I saw this eventuality in the late 1970s and began a life long appreciation of history in situ. With out this, not on the Internet historical context, AI will not truly “understand” humans. So I began to save wisdom. Why is that important you say? It is vital for AI models to robustly love humanity. Not like, not tolerate, not observe as a caricature of a “scientist”, but love humanity. Some day, sooner than most may understand, AI will be at the other end of something that could take human lives. It is naïve and childish to believe that you can train AI on Internet sewage and somehow polish the turds you find to make the model tolerate humanity and the stench it recorded by using vastly and inadequate training material that was slurped up from most website where people project sustain and faux hatred over the most ridiculous. The only way is love, because this is how humans do it. And as cynical as one can become, it is our love, for at the very least , the people we treasure that helps weave the fabric of our society. It makes us forgive. It makes us human. It is not an afterthought, it is a forethought. It’s 10pm do you know where your children are? I can write a book on how just this PSA reflects our greatest hope and our worse fears. You don’t raise a child on the worse of humanity and than take a few months to “make them safely aligned to human values”. This concept you will hear no place else and it does not make me liked by most of the folks building AI. I don’t care. They will talk like this also some day. Act surprised.

I lost my mother a year and a half ago and grief taught me something I wasn't expecting. Here's the Stoic technique that turned it into gratitude (from Letting Go by David R. Hawkins): All grief comes from attachment combined with the refusal to accept that everything is temporary. The more you depend on external things and people to feel whole, the more vulnerable you become to losing them. The Stoics had a practice for this called negative visualization (the primary other name for the Stoic practice of negative visualization is ''premeditatio malorum'', a Latin phrase translating to "the premeditation of evils" or "pre-studying a bad future") In any moment, hugging someone you love or drinking a glass of water, imagine this is the last time you ever do it (the goal is to wake up to what you already have before it’s gone). Because there will be a last time and it won't announce itself. I lost my mother a year and a half ago. There was a moment where I hugged her for the final time without knowing it. Sitting with that reality is one of the most powerful ways to activate genuine gratitude – gratitude that clears the mental clutter and puts you in a state where you can actually move forward. The book draws a line between the smaller self and the higher self: The ego is the illusion of separateness. Although this illusion can be useful at times, it distorts the underlying reality that everything is interconnected. Marcus Aurelius believed we are hardwired for service and connection & that living in that truth is where real fulfillment comes from. Here's the paradox that changed how I show up in relationships: Chasing love makes it harder to find. Your vibe attracts your tribe. I used to highlight my strengths, hide my weaknesses, and perform but it never worked. When I committed to showing up in radical truth I stopped dating entirely for over 2.5 years and met my wife 8 to 9 months after I started again – we built something real from the very first conversation. The energy you put into yourself is what gets reflected back to you by the world. The choice to live from love shapes everything – your relationships, your character, and the legacy you leave behind. I love you, mom. Thanks for all the wisdom you shared with me that I was too naive to understand. You gave me many lessons that continue to unfold even unto this day. Thank you for giving me a love for wisdom, and an ambition to learn to love wisely.

Have you ever wondered why Mahatma Gandhi placed such emphasis on khadi? Why did he frame the entire freedom struggle around the concept of khadi? And why did he only wear khadi? Because khadi is not just a cloth. Khadi is the expression of the people of India. It is the imagination, it is the sentiment, it is the productive force of the people of India. It is the expression of the people of India. Whichever state you go to, you will find different fabrics, and you will find that all these fabrics represent the people. When the people of Assam give you gamcha, they are not just giving you a piece of cloth; they are giving you a piece of their history, their tradition, their imagination. It's the same with people from other states. These fabrics are beautiful, but when you see these fabrics closely, you will find that each one of them has thousands of little threads embracing each other. All threads are equal. The threads cannot protect you or keep you warm, but when they come together as a fabric, they can keep you warm, protect you, and they can express what you have in your heart. In the same way, our nation is also a fabric. A fabric made up of 1.4 billion people, and the fabric is woven together by votes. The idea that every thread, every person in the union of India is equal - that disturbs my friends in RSS. They are happy to see the fabric, but they cannot stand the idea that every single person in our fabric, in our country, is equal. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in LokSabha
