First, Lean into pain
Ofcourse not every time is the right time to lean into it but every once in a while do “that” thing. Many people don’t realise their potential or just get too complacent. If there’s not one thing that put your mind into what-ifs spiral, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough.
Second, if you must distill life into absolute minimum - focus on relationships, health, and career. Don’t make excuses to yourself or others in either of these.

LLM + end-to-end encryption has a long way to go. Hallucinations are other concerns. We’re yet to see useful on-device LLMs. They’ll catch up just not yet.

It’s hard to beat Amazon on prices though. For comparison, look at the prices of best sellers. Sometimes the difference is as much as 40%. Trying bookofthemonth.com for a change.

Re:Best book/paper you read in 2018?
on Saturday November 17, 2018 @10:17AM (#18475829)
Shoe dog by Phil Knight. It's a memoir by the co-founder of Nike. This is one of my favorite books till now. The biggest reason being that it's a perfect combo of personal and business story of company that started with $50 and is now selling over $30B of goods annually. It's motivational, lucid, and keeps you on your toes. Phil is a great story-teller and I almost felt as if I was part of the story. A definite 5/5.
