Go All The Way - Charles Bukowski

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind.
It could mean not eating for three or four days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail.
It could mean derision.
It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

If you're going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
It's the only good fight there is.”

Does anyone find WHOOP bracelets useful? Do you get $300/year worth of utility from it?

Day in the life of a 9-5 normie (or any corporate wagie)

It’s a sunny morning and you go get coffee with your colleagues who have car loans. You rush back to office because you have the 9-5 wagie fear of leaving a good impression on your boss. You always try to look good in the hopes of maybe, maybe one day the manager takes a good eye on you and gives you a promotion. You live comfortably; you can afford the latest iPhone and AirPods. Your screen time is 4 hours a day because you have to “keep in touch” with your friends; You eat lots of sugar and late night snacks. You try to live healthy but can’t abstain the beers and nachos you have with your besties on weekends. When you meet new people, you introduce yourself with your job title. Your whole existence shrinks to the “professional career” you are chained to for the next 40 years while all you do is powerpoint and excel. You consider yourself a white collar upper class who does strategy. You are a consultant. The cycle continues and fast forward you wasted 15 years with your cognitive decline making you unfit for a job somewhere else that demand the best of your cognitive capacity. And at that very moment, you give in. You give in to the normie lifestyle and suppress the thoughts of what you could have been. Hell, today is Friday you say and go on about clicking numbers on an excel sheet hoping to leave early because you have a night out with your friends. You are happy it’s the weekend. Cycle continues.

Twink is building AGI and most people still don't know what an LLM is:

You have to exit the permanent underclass ASAP before it eats you alive. Once these people build AGI, your cushy job will vanish from the face of the earth, and you'll be working 80hrs/week for a bag of rice. Opportunity window is very small. Use your time wisely.

Бу яхши янгилик — айниқса стартаплар ва уларга пул тикмоқчи бўлган инвесторлар учун. Стартаплар эндиликда Delaware қонуни бўйича компанияларини рўйхатдан ўтказишлари ва ангел инвесторлардан YC SAFE келишуви асосида инвестиция олишлари мумкин.

Бундан ташқари, стартапларнинг жозибадорлиги ошади, улар АҚШ стартаплари каби раундларни кўтариш имкониятига эга бўладилар ва кенгроқ инвестор пулларига эшик очилади.

Dark talent in Uzbekistan (or anywhere)

Balaji Srinivasan, ex-CTO of coinbase, coined the term Dark Talent. Dark talent is everywhere. It's people with massive potential but they could never realize it due to geography (mostly), lack of information, lack of agency, etc. I believe Central Asia, and Uzbekistan in particular, has a lot dark talent because people there lack the intel on accessing the right information and opportunities. There are a lot of IMO, IPO, etc. medalists who end up teaching in a local university because they simply did not know better and lacked the guidance to access opportunities around the world. That’s why agency is so important. Especially when you don’t have access to mentors who guide you on what’s possible beyond the local university. Agency might not have mattered much a couple of decades ago, but in the age of internet, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be delusional and apply to CalTech given that you are a math genius or a god-tier pianist. You should still apply if you are none of those things, but that’s beyond the point of this post. That being said, dark talent should be cultivated by the state or the community because opportunity is not evenly distributed everywhere. El-Yurt Umidi is an amazing program that sort of goes in line with that philosophy because it directly gives access to the global network of higher educational institutions to everyone in Uzbekistan. I still don’t believe universities are key to unlocking your full potential, but for someone from Uzbekistan, it opens a lot of doors to reach your peak intellectual state faster. If you know dark talent who have no idea on what to do with their life, always try to help them. For free. Never capitalize on it with your consulting services. You never know - you might be one conversation away from changing their life.

Every time some ai lab releases a new LLM model (this time it’s google releasing Gemini 3), chances of you keeping your white collar job diminishes with a significance level of 5%. But you wouldn’t understand it because you are busy doing SUMIFS in excel right now.
