I strongly disagree with this whole sentiment. The vulnerable need actual protection, not perceived. Invention that is not grounded in reality won't work. Which grand vision starts from falsehood? A possibility not yet proven is not a lie, it's a potential. People united is not a fundamental virtue, people united under virtuous pretenses is of value; people united under a lie is more likely a cult, or a sick society.


While transparency and honesty are noble ideals, governments (to take one example) often navigate complex environments involving diplomacy, national security, and political strategy. Do you think it’s possible to run a government entirely devoid of lies? And by government, I am imagining the "for the people, by the people" government that wants good for the people.

Note: I am not pro lies, but challenging myself to think from the other angle.


The official statements on masks, early on during Covid so the limited stock would not be bought out and instead available for medical staff, comes to mind.


Charlie Munger lead an amazing life. I read his book and extracted the knowledge into categories using Tiddlywiki.


true, we host the vector DB in our own VPC. Obviously it requires trust between the customers and Jumble though. It's tricky, these technologies are cheap as a service, but very expensive for private instances.


The formatting is a bit off.

The web app is here: https://jumblejournal.org

The DB used is here: https://www.trychroma.com/


We are building Talenter, a tool where developers can create a private page for recruiters to chat and ask questions of a virtual candidate. Recruiters can pre-screen candidates, and leverage the database to find a perfect match to their job description.


I am reading The Story of Civilization by William and Ariel Durant and sharing some of what I learn.


agree; I like to have a record of what I did -- I do this in the evening via a bullet journal. I write the emotional stuff in the morning long hand


it's definitely valid to mix the two; the article is just one way to categorise which is subjective; but it is a mental model I found helps to keep in mind for my own journaling practice


thanks for the recommendation; I didn't know about this book, will give it a read


We will build some unique functionality that is different from the value proposition at DayOne
