Where in the "last 20%" do you need help with Amethyst, Vitor?

a painful truth

UI design/code. We need to break complex stuff into easy things that can be coded and tested quickly. I don't want a new design. I want small tweaks over a long period of time: new screens, new flows, new icons, new typography, updated layouts, etc.

This is what we've failed to recognize with Ai, in my opinion. Researchers think there's going to be an exponential, neverending explosion the moment Ai can train its own models better using the scaling principle (a big model can make a smaller model that's better, then use compute to scale it up to its own size, thus making a better model than itself) but what they don't see is that, *especially* because its all still dependent upon human judgement as to what is "better," and because its all derived from human content. Sure the first few iterations will make generally much better models, but the first time can make 100% improvement, the second time maybe 40%, the third time maybe 10%, etc. It's just not going to scalre forever because there's no way it compounds, it seems blatantly obvious it has diminishing returns. You can't start with human quality material, and human judgement, and then end up with something 10000x better than any human ever can or could be. That doesn't make sense on a dozen different levels. Ai is a probability machine, every single time you make things more aligned with what is more probable, you necessarily also introduce a little noise with each iteration until it can't even know what is "better" and what isn't anymore. It's like having an Ai check its own work. Sure a lot of times it catches mistakes, but sometimes it still just says shit that's dumb as fuck because that's what ai does sometimes.

Ship. Stay. Finish. The rest quit. You win.

Needed this today.

Perfection is not the goal, but completion is. This is what separates the winners from the 'almost'.

What separates good builders from bad ones is the willingness to go as far as possible on those remaining 20% View quoted note →

Ahh, how much I could learn from you...

Pareto Principle 101

That's why almost everything I do is a fork. I don't really care about architecting anything. I just want to tidy stuff up and polish it and add some flowers and stuff.

This applies only if you are craving for success .. alternative is NOT NOT craving success .. Alternative is working for FUN ☺️ .. when you do that it automatically becomes Law of Appreciating returns :-)
