I'm 30. I've worked on oil rigs, climbed corporate ladders, & hustled as a freelancer—and still had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. Then I found Robert Greene's book Mastery and everything clicked. Here are his 3 steps on how to find your "Life's Task": https://t.co/3IJvY7eIpz

Africa has invented nothing...not even writing? A short thread for these ignorant white supremacists who equate invention with capitalistic idea of commerce, and don't read history from elsewhere 0/16 https://t.co/NCXGAgBxPl

If I write a paper and you write a paper, each of us has one paper. If we each agree to put each other as a co-author on the paper, now each of us has two papers. Lots of academics figure this out very quickly... https://t.co/TdXui7POCz https://t.co/W3rs7P8P7N

I wanted to see if AI could code me a complex app. Not a crappy little one-off script. A real program. Just one little problem: I mostly suck at coding. So can AI make magic for someone like me? Yeah. But...it's complicated. Here's what I learned along the way. 1/ https://t.co/Ohis3fffDA

I love how people say “I saw a tiktok about it” like they’re citing sources. I would literally trust you more if you said a stranger on the bus told you

Waterloo grads are unbelievably cracked software engineers. Has anyone written up an essay on what they’re doing there? Would be interested to read.

I've noticed a lot of people complaining jokingly that they now pause when they're about to use a fancy word. That's great. That's exactly what one should do — stop and think "is there a way to say this more simply?"

DUNE but if it was high fashion https://t.co/n44KYaXY0u

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum https://t.co/WhuTUXhHhB

95% of what we are doing in AI is stuff that's simple enough to explain to a child, made way over-complicated by mathematical-looking notation and unclear thinking. A short rant 🧵 using attention as an example.

I had a physics elective in college where the professor basically went century by century and made us derive astronomical quantities using only information and techniques available to people of the day. size of the earth, distance to the sun, etc. one of the best classes ever. https://t.co/K2xnf9ha4b

I applied to 100 jobs using a resume with the name, "Kismma D. Nhuhts" and I got 29 interviews. This is what I've learned about resumes: https://t.co/MWuacsClFP

does anyone have any useful sentences that will change my life immediately upon being read?

You need to be going on egregiously long walks. 20,000 steps for no reason. Wandering with no idea where you're going. 8 hours. Drenched in sweat. Nodding at all strangers. No phone. Totally lost in your surroundings. This is how you clear your mind from all the bullsh*t

In 1997, Julia Hill climbed a 200-foot 1000-year-old Californian redwood tree and did not come down for 738 days to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. She ultimately reached an agreement with the company to spare the tree and a 200-foot buffer zone… https://t.co/XCYOtVTJRX

I’m about to do the Lumina treatment, a cure for dental cavities developed by Lantern Bioworks. I figured I’d do an unboxing and let you come with me on this journey. Here’s the box: https://t.co/yx6hLyKSBc
