Thanks for writing. This was an enjoyable read.

So in the spirit of this blog post what kind of rug did you make and where would you guess the audience/audience distribution falls on the graph?


Thank you for the read and glad you enjoyed it!

For me, writing this up was like finally laying-out and using some "fancy rug" ideas and admitting to myself they're nice though not necessarily practical nor particularly special. Though they're special to me and that's something I've come to appreciate for what it is.

I hope this was a "sweet deal" read for a good amount of people! And seems likely mostly somewhere in the middle, though confident that most people can take something interesting back with them


I was looking for something like this.

Friendly note: "Join thousands of makers builing their" that's probably meant to be "building".


Thanks. Fixed.


The exact opposite is true actually. None of us will ever experience that. This is nicely captured in an episode of Orville if you're interested https://orville.fandom.com/wiki/Mortality_Paradox#:~:text=Mo....


I’m a religious person so I disagree


The episode is still rather interesting if you're curious to understand a different perspective.


I might or might not but you can’t possibly imagine that a TV show or anything else would convert me from my deeply held faith, or the billions of people around the world. I think saying “the exact opposite is true actually. None of us will ever experience that” is extremely arrogant and know-nothing. I’m not saying I’m right, I’m just saying you can’t say I’m wrong. Nothing is proven.


You’re putting some words in my mouth.

You don’t see any similarity between my universal claim and yours?


This is a great book. Unlike any other book I've read. It helps with defining a process that I think every person working in a technical field uses one way or another. It helps you develop a way of thinking that reduces anxiety when you are stuck and helps develop paths to get unstuck. This book made me love math and I wish more people knew about it. It's also never too early or too late to pick it up.


I play Halo Infinite and the game play is great. The game crashes on a daily basis though so I don't agree with "Did exactly what it's supposed to"



Thanks! Macroexpanded:

Ah, good call. Forgot he's in Japan. My mistake.



That's actually a far better source! You should probably post it as a direct reply. Also love that you can break down the data by several dimensions



Tesla fan here but I have to point out that this headline seems very favorable. Other headlines indicate that despite the new record, the expected deliveries count was 99k.

That market "expectation" was increased to 99K just this week, after the email from Musk was leaked with a mention of 100K deliveries.

Don't trust these market "targets": these are mostly published and (silently) changed to pleased some analyst's clients and make the SP price to move in a preferred direction.
