"Excessive complexity is nature's punishment for organizations that are unable to make decisions." -- Gregor Hohpe
Midjourney CEO during office hours today:
"For the next 12 months it's about video, 3D, real time, and bringing them all together to non interactive world simulator. Then, we'll add the interaction layer to it."

"Writing converts your ideas from vague to bad." - @paulg
Oof. A mix of laughter and pain. So, so true.
I launched 1 product every month for the past 2 years.
But before that:
280-character success stories hide years of failures.
When I tell people I am about to publish an O'Reilly book on prompt engineering and AI, their first question is always "won't it be out of date the moment it's printed?". It's something @jamesaphoenix12 and I had to think about, a lot...
So we took the things that were working for us back in 2020 with GPT-3, and ditched any hacks or tricks that stopped working when GPT-4 came out. What was left was a set of timeless principles that are transferrable across models:
1. Give Direction: Describe the desired style in detail, or reference a relevant persona.
2. Specify Format: Define what rules to follow, and the required structure of the
response.
3. Provide Examples: Insert a diverse set of test cases where the task was done
correctly.
4. Evaluate Quality: Identify errors and rate responses, testing what drives performance.
5. Divide Labor: Split tasks into multiple steps, chained together for complex goals.
The whole book is based on these principles, so even if OpenAI drops GPT-5 the week after the book is published, I'm still confident the content will remain relevant. That said, after a year and a half of writing and editing, I'm really looking forward to getting it out there in the world and see what people think!
Seriously thinking that Agda or Lean 4 are the best languages for sane and sustainable Open Source.
I don’t need to delve into any PR at all.
I just need to configure CI once.
As long as it compiles it works.
I never saw this - thanks PB!!
To be a good writer, you have to be annoyed by bad writing. You're unlikely to get your first drafts exactly right, and unless you're annoyed by what you got wrong, you won't fix it.
I never wrote a single test in my life.
No idea How to do that
But I made ~250k€ last year from my untested SaaS 😅
@zwhitchcox This is on an internal branch, we’re just experimenting. We tend to open up our research, though. check out this other experimental repo

disentangling shame about "wasted potential," recalibrating sense of "top speed" vs sustainable speed:
"that’s like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world"

This is utterly insane.

How the West grew rich:
a few notes on this book by 2 🇺🇸 scholars explaining the reasons for the Western economic and technological take-off from the 15th century onwards.
And it has nothing to do with "luck" or colonization. (1/10)⤵️🧵
I made my first hit app in 2 days, my second hit app in 2 weeks & now my current app took about 2 weeks to build. Based on my research, I think it will do well. But it could totally make $0-$100 or it could make $10,000+ a month. If it falls flat, I move on to the next idea. ;)

That moment when SNL predicted the future…
Really amazing work by the @huggingface team! Infrastructure work, including dataset work, evaluations work, and building libraries, is the single highest-leverage thing you can do in AI. This will provide dividends for the broader AI community for years to come.
You're under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
Anytime an engineer demos a feature to me that is very buggy and half-assed, I say “very nice, very Upwork” and they fix it faster than you can ever imagine.
I’ve written 1000+ articles. 4 have gone viral.
I’ve done 300+ YouTube videos, 5 have gone viral.
I’ve started 20 companies, 1 has worked really well.
Keep starting!
