About: Pioneer's mission is to coordinate the funding for rapid decarbonization. We take the pain out of the government grants application process by using dozens of LLM workflows to reduce the effort required to apply and win government awards, and we’ve helped companies win $160M to date. We have more demand than we can serve, and we’re growing revenue.

Culture: Our core values are kindness, impact, intentionality, initiative, feedback and efficiency in that order, and we implement these throughout our processes.

You: Enjoy the 0-to-1, hungry for growth, actively collaborate and pair with users, can handle the nondeterminism of LLMs, start sentences with “What if…“, enjoy building across the full stack.

Stack: We use TypeScript, React, Next.JS, LangSmith and other modern tools.

ChatGPT's o1 model could make a lot of those programming techniques less effective, but they may still be around as they are more manageable, and constrained.

Humans are so smart and do so many decisions and calculations on the subconscious/implicit level and take a lot of mental shortcuts, so that as we try to automate this by following exactly what the process is, we bring a lot of the implicit thinking out on the surface, and that slows everything down. So we've had to be creative about how we build LLM workflows.

Through fractal management, a visionary leader can have a better chance to ensure that the vision is translated into practice at the various levels of detail.

Fractal management is only part of it, though as it is a technique, but it doesn’t cover the enormous skin in the game founders have about the success of the company. For many founders, the company is their baby(I am projecting here) and they want to make it succeed. Contrastingly, many of the professional fakers instead see it as just a job, and a step on the ladder. Principal/agent. Without genuine care, and cohesive vision, fractal management can quickly devolve into chaos. It is high reward and also higher risk!!! Maybe that’s why only the founders do it but not their VPs. I wonder if any VPs at Airbnb are doing anything remotely similar to what Bryan Chesky is doing as management style? (Honestly I have no idea)

I am sure that many founders failed also because of it as they might have been missing the charisma, clarity and conviction to pull this off.

(PS. Take my ideas with a big serving of salt, I am a founder but not at a large organization, and the article mainly focuses on large orgs)

It is really hard to put in practice because of all the gravitational pull towards mediocrity.

But in my case, the root cause seems to be stress from increased load, and the higher cortisol levels it creates

But I didn’t meet many students whose parents were also MIT grads there, which suggests that they don’t give it a benefit.

More than 100 essays on various timeless topics.

Most recently I wrote a series called “how to be a game changer” which focused on creating win win situations in all aspects of life. One of the essays “Opt out of cynicism” made it to #2 on HN.

I’ve been slow to write for the last 1.5y as I was giving a birth to a startup.

The other two bounced :)

But the root cause of the bug was in another earlier commit. In a complex system such as the linux kernel, there could be multiple contributing factors. Both the "introducing a sleep" and the "root bug" are contributing factors, but we as engineers tend to think of the "root bug" as the actual problem, because we like more elegant explanations. Also, the "root bug" is likely something that goes against the ethos of the software project, and "common sense best practices", to a much larger degree than "introducing a sleep" is.

It is not clear from the article if you booted linux 290K more times _after_ the bisect, or during the bisect.

Vatican is entirely encircled in Rome, therefore any area outside Vatican is closer to Rome than the Vatican, yet if we look at them as point sources, as this map does, you see a lot of other area closer to Vatican.

Next time I have to “pick up trash”, I will try to think “what would these samurai do?”
