Opportunities come and go. You have to catch and squeeze it dry. It’s like catching lightning in a bottle. This happens rarely but you know it when it’s happening. You get into the zone.
Sometimes you feel something strong is approaching but you know you’re not skilled enough to properly make use of the opportunity.
The only solution is to keep improving such that the chances of missing out on sure-shot opportunities due to mere “skill issue” are drastically curtailed.
The next big thing is either approaching quickly or is already here.
my answer to the usual question of “what’s next?”: I don’t know! Because if I did, I’d already be half-way done doing it. And then it wouldn’t really be next, it’d be now.
Finding the next now is the art of wandering, and wandering well takes practice and patience. Don’t rush it.

Two huge podcast episodes dropped this week:
— Interview with Dario Amodei by Lex Fridman
It’s about time Anthropic’s C.E.O. got into the limelight to fan the flame that is the narrative of journey to A.G.I. I had recently read his essay and hopefully he talks more about it on lex fridman.
— Interview with Gwern Branwen by Dwarkesh Patel
This one caught me by surprise, I thought he finally did a face reveal when I first saw it in my feed only to know both voice and avatar were modulated.
I’ve been a long time fan of his famous essays at gwern.net and this one is gonna be an all timer.
