He was a big supporter of the Democratic Party which would not necessarily lead to a pardon with the Republican administration.


Eric Adams is a Democratic politician, whom Trump's DOJ dropped charges for political favors from Adams. For the right bargain they don't even care about the party.


He supported both parties.


I swear my hearing got more sensitive with kids. Also, some commercials hit differently.


I can’t read news stories about something terrible that happened to a child since having kids.


I couldn't watch Black Mirror after having my son.


Neither do I and I don't have kids


I believe OP is discussing what changed upon having kids, not "things that you can only do if you are a parent".


Same here. I can still hear them breathing quite clearly in the next room, even with the bedroom doors partially closed. My hearing for noises further away got more sensitive, but those nearby less so. I put this down to an ancestral ability to listen for sabre-tooth tigers trying to sneak up in the grass.


You’re right. Books like the Four Hour Workweek and Escape From Cubicle Nation were guides to passive income twenty years ago.


It’s not totally risk-free income (but what is) but a decent pile invested sensibly makes for pretty good passive income depending on your goals.


now where do you get that pile to invest? I have a pile invested - but I'm close to retirement and it took me many years to save it up.


By working and investing. More successfully at some points than others. But you’re totally right that different people are better set up and more or less inclined to move on from a job than others.


The larger message is young people cannot get passive income in a short time. Sure there are a few born rich, and a tiny handful who by luck and skill (both are needed) get rich quick. However for the vast majority passive income is a long slog of saving a little here and there. (there is a third option - really lower your standard of living so you need almost nothing to live - get a good job but live in a tent city with the poor, cooking on a camp stove - everything you own fits in a backpack). The idea that you can in a few years get enough invested to live on a beach for the rest of your life is a fantasy that sells books but doesn't otherwise exist.


I agree with all that. I've known a couple of people (at least one was out of investment banking--think both were) who pretty much fully retired in their forties, which of course isn't really that young. Some people hit the startup or some other lottery early on and, even if you get a million dropped on you at 25 or 30, you should probably think long and hard about whether you can really just not work any longer. Gives you a lot of breathing room but isn't really a huge pile.

Certainly, there are degrees of frugality. I could probably spend more than I do but don't have a real interest in doing so and generally avoid expensive things that might give me some incremental pleasure but prefer to arrange things so that increment is pretty small and doesn't revolve around "stuff."


> Sure there are a few born rich

A LOT of Millenials were born rich. They may not have realized it, but now that boomers are dying off, it is stratifying Millennials through inheritance.

A lot of them have and continue to receive massive wealth transfers from their boomer parents through free-ish rent, gifts (aka pay for your down payment on a house), etc, etc.


Hard to keep up with what generations are supposedly uniquely disadvantaged. For Millennials specifically, houses would seem to be rather late in the game as they're probably mostly buying in their 30s maybe if they're buying at all and probably haven't been living with their parents for most of that period before.


That is a nice windfall but most are not getting enough to retire early on.


I'm not sure I understand your last paragraph? The two sentences seem to contradict?


GPT 3.5 was intelligent enough to understand that command and turn it into a correct shaped JSON object: the platforms don't have tight enough integration to take advantage of the intelligence


May be incompatible with OpenAI possibly becoming more PG-13 rated in the future?

I had thought this would be combined with OpenAI launching a set top box where you could talk to an AI avatar. Disney IP could have been skins to sell people for their AIs.


I have called them casinos for kids elsewhere due to the bright colors, flashing text, and money counters going up, up, up on the screen.

And also because my kids can spend tens of dollars in minutes on it.


My thought was that messages need to be untrusted by default and the trusted input should be wrapped (with the UUID generated by the UX or API). And in this untrusted mode, only the trusted prompts would be allowed to ask for tool and file system access.

Wrote a bit more here but that is the gist: https://zero2data.substack.com/p/trusted-prompts


Sadly this has been tried before and doesn't work.

If an attacker can send enough tokens they can find a combination of tokens that will confuse the LLM into forgetting what the boundary was meant to be, or override it with a new boundary.


I wanted to say your insight about a consulting business is spot on.

I also recommend Founding Sales and think it would be worth the OP skimming.

Also, search for Steli Efti (founder of a CRM called Close) who has some great content for outbound sales. I thought he did a session for Y Combinator's Startup School but didn't just find it. But he has lots of great content and a bit of a hustle mentality.


Napping House and Pokey Little Puppy were two of my favorites to read with my kids along with the Little Blue Truck.


I think it is going to be a set-top device that casts to the TV with built in sensors and a camera to enable you to FaceTime with your AI assistant/friend.

I'm sure it's going to be a smashing success 20 years later.
