AGI is a faith based proposition like “the sufficiently smart compiler” - it turns all technical discussion into drivel.


“Genius” comes from genus meaning source/give birth/produce, a genius is a prolific source of original work. If you are only prolific, or only original, or neither, you may be a clever person or highly skilled, but a genius you are not.


Performance reviews are similar. My company did a bi-yearly performance review one year and my manager wrote up their views of where I did bad on each thing through that half of the year. I spent the whole time annoyed that rather than telling me in the moment, it was deemed acceptable to wait months and then give me a laundry list of things I could have done better. What a slap in the face. I was told in the spirit that I’d somehow be grateful for the chance to better myself. I started looking at the job market.


The dramatic irony is highly overrated. Deepness before Fire is way more enjoyable.


Pandoc markdown had footnotes in 2008 when I was blogging with it.


To some degree it overlaps with Inflex https://twitter.com/inflexhq

But the inspirations differ https://inflex.io/blog/bibliography


Be careful with these grip strength thingies. If your finger tendons are overworked, using those will exacerbate the problem. I tell from experience. It’s brutal. Tendons aren’t muscles, they don’t fatigue and recover in the same way as muscles, like from doing forearm curls.


I had a lot of pain, started stretching my fingers and it was gone in a week. Can recommend.


Your comment shows you didn’t read the page fully. I miss when people had time to read a whole page.

The author already wrote about blogs that are trying to get views with various tactics vs old proper blogs that were just people rambling about their quirky interests or bad day.


There are literally a hundred startups that GRIDS is like, don’t be ridiculous.


Hey cool, can you give me some more examples that fit the description?, down to the font style and example?


Maker here! This is the first time I've seen Grids (which looks incredible). They seem to be taking a slightly different approach but very inspiring.

However we've taken zero inspiration for the page from Grids and I don't feel the brands overlap in any way (although they do use a nice serif).

The example is a document that we're currently using so it seemed logical to put it there as a video. We have some other demo documents that will be added in ~2 weeks.

Didn't expect the site to get posted on HN so quickly.


You should also add blank text until the pointless web font loads.
