breathe deeper when you have the chance

People don't want you to win, but you stay consistent; do it anyway. Congrats Norris and McLaren. Sad for Oscar. But kinda shame for McLaren

husanisomiddinov.com/things/arsenal 19th update to the website fixes: - the search bar on the reading section finally works - added the "arsenal" section in the "things" - added a few more quotes to the "quotes" section - a few grammar fixes i am planning to make major changes in january. might as well create a new website from the scratch (this time using rust cuz it is the fastest) any suggestions on what else to add?

World cup draw any predictions? i have a feeling we will be placed with the US edited: portugal will be cool

"why my ai detector show my essay is ai-written?"

two reasons: 1. ai detectors are bullshit. not a single one of them can truly detect ai usage accurately. they're just guessing based on writing patterns that happen to be common in today's AI models, but humans write that way too, and future AI will write differently anyway. 2. we are what we consume. if you consume a lot of ai-generated content, you start imitating it. (that's the problem with linkedin. it is soo dead now). so, if your writing sounds ai-generated even if you have written it yourself, you should change what you read. but really, don't use ai for anything that requires cognitive input. a perfect way to use it is to scale and automate otherwise boring tasks. but you can't scale nor automate intelligence and thinking (at least for now). @husan_thinking

There is vibe-coding. Why we shouldn't have vibe-studying? (grinding calculus on khanacademy so hard rn)

how to differentiate bullshit books from good ones?

good books teach knowledge. they provide information. some of them also update your conceptual architecture. and they don't promise anything more than that. bullshit books promise more than just new knowledge, that you may develop new skills, acquire wealth, etc. but that's (again) bullshit. you don't learn skills from a textbook. you learn them by actually building something. not by reading about it. self-help books promise a productive lifestyle upon the finish. that is unrealistic. when you read bullshit books, it feels productive. you feel like you are learning something new, transforming yourself. but as Karpathy said, learning is not passive or entertaining. it is meant to be hard. p.s. i am overgenelizing here, but this is probably true for the most part, with a very rare exceptions

I am not an avid podcast-listener, but these two are the last two podcasts I watched/listened in the past two weeks. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXUZvyajciY 2. https://youtu.be/aR20FWCCjAs?si=z2r_LfUeKHS4xBSU Hard to digest thoughts and lines, but worth your time. Got deeper into AI, in short. Had learning, now need to build. Dwarkesh is also doing an interesting job with his guests. Def recommend subbing to his channel. Check out his Substack blog too. He writes cool stuff. Also, folks on twitter were talking about Deepmind's movie called "Thinking Game." Might give that a shot. Anyone watched?

Founders Circle - from founders for founders! i don't want to describe the entire event with some generic descriptions, so i will just leave some phrases so you can basically understand what happened) shortage of chairs, last-minute cable management, 3-minute pitches, intense q&a's, visitors with big names, and ofc post-event pizzas that we had to heat in a microwave hats off to Elzodxon Sharofaddinov (@elzodxon) for adding me to the organizing team. last time, i was merely a participant. the next iteration is in december. see you there) @husan_thinking

Headphones mean: I am working. I am not available for your story about your gf. I am not interested in your opinion about the weather. I am definitely not interested in whatever thought just popped into your head that you feel compelled to share immediately. If someone's wearing headphones, they are not "just sitting there." They're working. Leave them alone unless something is actually on fire, and I mean literally on fire, not your metaphorical fire.

Found on one cool channel. We need "ten commandments" offices edition.

Two things: 1. Stripe Press is prolly the best and the most aesthetic books press out there. Just check out their website (https://press.stripe.com/) and you will see it for yourself. I was planning to get their books since summer, but didn't have enough savings/time. But now I finally started building my very own physical library with the legit copies of my fav books. 2. Also, big thanks to Globbing Uz (https://uz.globbing.com/ru). I ordered my books from Amazon and got them delivered to Tashkent via Globbing Logistics. I saved 25 dollar per book by choosing them. good evening, fellas

do you all want an office tour?

There is asking. And there is begging. If you ask for help, and if that person is beating around the bush trying to formulate an answer, it probably means their answer is “no.” They don’t have time. They don’t want to do it. They are just not directly saying “no” out of respect to you. But some people don’t stop and they push, saying things like “plz, only one time.” When you do that, be ready to lose the respect the person held for you. This time, the answer will be straight “no.” Not “no” to your request, but to the diminished respect they now have for you. Asking is okay. Begging is not. Have respect for yourself. husan
