I feel like we'll laugh at posts like this in 5 years. It's not inaccurate in any way, it just misses the wood for the trees. Any new technology is always worse in some ways. Smart phones still have much worse battery life and are harder to type on than Blackberries. But imagine not understanding why people are bullish about Smartphones.

It's 100x easier to see how LLM's change everything. It takes very little vision to see what an advancement they are. I don't understand how you can NOT be bullish about LLM's (whether you happen to like them or not is a different question).


My experience of having kids is very similar to yours. But I will say that I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. My kids are now 8 and 4, no more diapers or waking up at night. My wife and I are getting better at managing parenting responsibilities and lifts. My life is getting more balanced again. And I'm feeling a shift closer to what the comment above yours describes, although I'm not entirely there yet. To be fair though we have 4 grandparents to help plus a nannie so not representative of most people.


When did you start noticing this? I'm 39 and dont feel this at all. I have less motivation and energy for lots of things. But that stems from a jadedness and pickiness. It's different to what you describe. I feel my mental faculties are as strong as ever, and my gut feel is that they're not declining anytime soon.


Can you spell out why is that fundamentally bad? I'm asking in good faith not to be oppositional, apologies if its a stupid question. But if you were buying shares in a company it would not matter if most the shares were held by the company (as long as there is enough liquidity to sell your shares in future). Why is it different with the currency? I get that its making the founders rich so perhaps they have greedy intentions, but why does this inherently undermine the validity of the currency?


A cryptocurrency is generally more easily spendable in an open market. The sell potential that a founder has with 75% of the supply is massive.

If I created a coin today and sold 1% of the supply to you alone, on what basis would you want to store any value in that currency? Given constant buy demand, The currency's market value is defined by what I do. This is why organic price discovery for a currency is important.


Another alternative (not self-hosted or open source) is Fibery.io More powerful than Airtable, and has some Notion-like capabilities.


RSS being awesome is the one thing that everyone on HN seems to agree about. Every couple of years I give it a try but for some reason I'm struggling to get into it. Something prevents me from checking my Feedly feed. Seems uninteresting even though I populated with sources I like.

Can someone set out a "getting started" guide? Like does it help to have good categorisation? Are there some tricks that make a big difference (adding email newsletters perhaps?)? Is there a recommended App or workflow that brings out the best in RSS?


Easy for everyone to point out that its unhealthy to be money focused. But that's missing the point. The author is clearly aware of this problem. The question is how to get out of this cycle..


I just drank a Tab. Can still on my desk https://imgur.com/a/hFo0Gl7

I'm in South Africa.. I generally chose it over the other diet Cola drinks.


Yes, I want to know. Please enlighten and provide sources?



This is awesome! What inspired you to do this?


I'm looking into setting up an ISA fund in South Africa so I was researching the ISA market globally to help me build the business case.
