Can we measure preventive medicines or projects which have been designed with care from the beginning? Can we have metrics and measure/compare projects over lifetime production bugs?

This reminds me of perverse Amazon practice of hiring people only to fire them to meet quota. This could have been avoided if they measured the average lifetime of hired individuals. If they were fired the very next firing round, it means the process is broken. Ideally a fixed percentage of freshly hired developers should have moved upward displacing senior slacking developers.


There are hour long youtube videos where people explain the process by using a complex toy project. Search for them.

We should create a generalized version of "Gell-Mann Amnesia". This applies not just to fields of study. But also to time and space. We read history as if the person who wrote the history book has perfect knowledge.

I did something different. Instead of describing the image, I described the artist. Made that artist in Ubermensch. Then asked AI to draw the image from his point of view. It worked fabulously.

This is not related to the article. But I would like to see people generated feeds rather than automated feeds.

e.g. contradictory feeds.

1. motivational post followed immediately be demotivational post iteratively. this will allow people not be stuck in one basin of attraction.

2. wealth flaunting posts followed by poverty posts to elicit a strong contrast and inequality.

3. science posts followed by pseudo-science posts

4. feeds that are generated like DJ sets. instead of playing with music, the feed would play with emotions.

Other such combinations.


It was a good run then. Now that guy will run in another organization.

I read this a decade back. Lot of good ideas. Explains lot of different fields and how they operate. I recommend people to read it or use AI to get the gist.

Look at what Nvidia did to Gamers. Nvidia built its castle on the dead bodies of Gamers who supported and cheered for Nvidia.

I think Technical posts should be written with 3 levels of audiences in mind. Expert, Middle, Beginner. But I guess that is not necessary, since AIs can cut the flab easily.
