4x founder with 2 exits. The only time conflict arose or I felt like giving up was when we weren't growing. Growth and sales can heal just about all wounds (not all, but just about all). These types of articles always seem to point out the symptoms, and not the cause.

The symptom of wanting to give up is because you aren't growing fast enough

The symptom of founder turmoil is because whatever strategy you're currently using isn't growing the company fast enough

The symptom of running out of money is because you're not hitting your sales targets

If SCOTUS finds the tariffs unconstitutional in Learning Resources v. Trump, they should order refunds.

Because I've ran into the same issue. I don't think this is actually the tariff. I'm almost 100% positive this is the shipping companies (UPS, and FedEx, but UPS seems to be the biggest culprit) are slamming receivers with massive bills because they are miscategorizing many items coming from Europe.

I also imported a roughly $400 item from Romania. Was expecting a 30% tariff at most. Nope. $756. Sender says there is nothing they can do. UPS says that's the money I owe. They will send to collections if you go long enough without paying it. Reddit had no answers, and many are struggling with the same situation.

ryanSrich commented on A definition of AGI arxiv.org/abs/2510.18212... · Posted by u/pegasus

Since everyone's spitballing their idea of AGI, my personal take is that AGI should be a fully autonomous system that have a stable self-image of some sort, can act on its own volition, understand the outcome of its actions, learn from cause-and-effect, and can continue doing so indefinitely.

So far, LLMs aren't even remotely close to this, as they only do what they are told to do (directly or otherwise), they can't learn without a costly offline retraining process, they do not care in the slightest what they're tasked with doing or why, and they do not have anything approximating a sense of self beyond what they're told to be.

ryanSrich · 2 months ago

Yeah my definition of AGI has always been close to this. The key factors:

- It's autonomous

- It learns (not retraining, but true learning)

- By definition some semblance of consciousness must arise

This is why I think we're very far from anything close to this. Easily multiple decades if not far longer.

So I tried it for a hot minute a few weeks ago, but uninstalled promptly once it looked like it just cannot handle pasted images very well at all. It would paste it as huge Base64 string right in there and completely lock up the UI on my MacBook Pro M3 Max. Has that been fixed? I'm really looking for a good IDE (or something better than just a terminal) for Claude Code, but I was left disappointed by Claudia...

Maybe the company is inconsequential and this is just about hiring Ive?

ryanSrich · 7 months ago

Oh I'm sure that's the reason, but it still makes zero sense. Ive is incredibly overrated as a designer and visionary.

It is fascinating how design has become the new gold standard in the AI era. It really looks the strongest signals come from taste and design quality and AI is killing other signals.

ryanSrich · 7 months ago

Funny how the reality is exactly the opposite of what you're saying. Design was already on life support and AI was the final plug pull.

It’s mind boggling how much money is floating around once you are part of the insider circle. What has that company been doing to be worth 6.5 billion?

ryanSrich · 7 months ago

I consider myself extremely plugged in to what's going on with AI and I still couldn't tell you what Ive's company does without looking it up

I've heard of Wiz, but would have had a hard time listing out their feature/benefit statement, because I don't work with CSPM tools. I don't think this "I have doubts about what you actually do" line is doing the work you want it to; it may be backfiring on you a bit.

ryanSrich · 9 months ago

CNAPPs and CSPMs are extremely common tools in cybersecurity. This is my concern. If you're in cyber and don't have knowledge of these things you're either in something insanely niche, in research of some sort, or lack critical knowledge that you should have. There's a big responsibility as a security practitioner to stay up to date on new tools and techniques. CNAPP and CSPM is not some new thing that was invented last year. It's been around for a decade.
