THREAD. On writing, note-taking, reading, and synthesizing information. This fall, I taught Research Design at the doctoral level, and a Masters' Research (Thesis) Seminar. Because of the way I like teaching (research design, research methods and mechanics of research), ....

There are three kinds of foundational knowledge: math, physics, and philosophy. Math teaches you the language of reality, physics teaches you about material reality, and philosophy teaches you about immaterial reality.

Startups are awesome. Feels *so* good to close a $100,000 deal, and then after paying AWS, Stripe, Mercury, Airtable, Loom, Twilio, Github, Google, Mailchimp, Mixpanel, Zoom, Figma, Heroku, Typeform, Zendesk, Carta, Dropbox and Zapier we still have a whole $77 left over.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitte…

Best books I read in 2020 1. Atomic Habits by @JamesClear “If you show up at the gym 5 days in a row—even for 2 minutes—you're casting votes for your new identity. You’re not worried about getting in shape. Youre focused on becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts” https://t.co/EpW9tgdiHi

I made a flow chart to help people decide what sort of philosopher they want to be. Start at the blue box, end at one of the red boxes. Hope it helps! https://t.co/oeEGwuhadN

Ada konsep populer di inceldom: Hypergamy. Berdasarkan evolusi psikologi jutaan tahun, wanita lebih cenderung mencari laki-laki yang kualitasnya (fisik, power, finansial, intelegensi,dsb) yang jauh di atasnya, sedangkan laki-laki cenderung milih wanita yang kualitasnya sepantaran https://t.co/l4FW207NDv https://t.co/cIEJuc6tOp

Why do some incredibly smart people struggle to launch a business? It’s because intellect is unidimensional: give it a well defined problem, and get a solution in return. But startups are multidimensional. There are too many variables for any mind to hold and work through.

Scikit-learn is one of the most useful and important Python 🐍 libraries for machine learning. Here is a great cheat-sheet that will help you decide which algorithm to use depending on your needs. https://t.co/CmPbwPXsQO

1/I’ve embraced remote work completely like all tech folks have been forced too, & I’m afraid & inspired that the gains are so significant for employees that many/most will not go back to offices This is going to lead to a crazy, competitive chess board for funds & startups.

Lessons from Lean Startups: (visual summary)

On average, email earns $40 for every $1 spent 🤯 The next highest ROI growth channel returns half that. We spent the last month interviewing email marketers at this year’s fastest-growing startups. Here's a thread of actionable email insights.

Who is the most qualified person to give a short talk about the dark arts of early-stage fundraising for startups?

Typically (social) psych PhD students are qualified for roles such as UX researcher, data scientist, or data analyst. My sense is that being a data scientist at a big tech/social media company requires a lot more computational/programming experience https://t.co/q1RnzoB6kR

A non T shaped team member becomes a liability for the startup in the long run. https://t.co/5YVKV7X7HR

Prof Bambang Purwanto, gubes Sejarah UGM pada satu waktu di 2011 pada kongres Sejarah Kedokteran Indonesia di Jogja mempresentasikan makalahnya dengan pertanyaan utama "mungkinkah secara sosiologis Menteri Kesehatan itu bukan dokter?" It stuck in my mind

Reviewing PhD applications this year in ML/AI. At this point we might as well just say applicants already need a PhD to get accepted. Is this the case with every field, or is it just ML/AI which has gotten so competitive? Thank God I applied 4 years ago!

All writing advice boils down to speaking the truth without making a big fuss about it.

Element AI raised $257M and was sold for $230M after 4 years Sad to read this news. I guess this is another piece of evidence that AI startups founded and run by famous academics with good intention don't always have the best execution https://t.co/hSTmzzdoht

My friend @faraz_r_khan had a great point today: there are some startups where if you simply made a quick MVP of the product, it would be absolute garbage (game streaming) but if you make 300+ optimizations and carefully grind at it, you'll make something truly incredible.
