Brain Food #11 | I’m Late

Hello there!

So… I may have taken a short break from putting out my newsletter, but definitely no break from lapping up all the content still! I mean… how can one even take a break when the content onslaught is just non-stop and coming at you from every direction possible?!

To make up for the late newsletter, I will stop with my intro so not to delay any further. Hope you guys enjoy it! Okay, stopping now. Stop. Bye!!!

This newsletter was synthesized using Chat-GPT, Notion AI Assist and Synth

Meme of the week:

I absolutely love Razer Inc. and their marketing team!

[Consumer Tech] - Principles/advice from the founders on how Notion was built [Youtube]

• Have a bias towards action and ship quickly, even if it’s a ‘hacked up version’ of your product, to get feedback and improve it
• Think about distribution and how you can take your product to market
• Betting on the person is often more important than the idea, as ideas can change over time.
• Notion is intuitive and ‘dumb’ (simple) so people don't need to pay too much attention to use it, making it feel like an extension of their body
• Notion’s four values – mission driven owners, pacesetters, truth seekers and kind and direct – are authentically them and help guide decisions within the company

[Tech Infogram] - A long term timeline of technology [Our World Data]

• It is easy to underestimate how much the world can change within a lifetime. Bringing to mind how dramatically the world has changed can help us see how different the world could be in a few years or decades
• This is progressing even faster now, especially with the introduction of consumer-facing AI

[Trading] - BNF - The God of Day Trading [Youtube]

• I absolutely love this channel (Billionaire Bears), they make great videos on individual, legendary traders
• Here’s a summary of the same:
• BNF, or the J COM Man, became a Japanese legend after making ¥2 billion in one trade in 2005
• BNF developed his own contrarian trading strategy to profit from bear markets, buying stocks that had dropped significantly greater than the market average and selling after a few days or weeks
• BNF's genius was understanding the relationship between individual parts of the global trading machine and his unemotional discipline
• BNF's most legendary trade was investing $6.5 million in the Lehman Brothers stock in 2008 which he eventually lost due to underestimating the level of corruption in the US banking system

[Movies] - How a 5-Person Team Made an Oscar-Winning Movie's Effects [Youtube]

• I recently watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. WHAT A MOVIE
• I recommend the movie to everyone, it really makes you think and puts life in perspective
• I was even more surprised to learn that the movie was made with a super small budget, and only a 5 member VFX team
• Do watch this video to learn more on interesting ways the VFX was done

[Art] - Some stunning visual, real content [Twitter]

• Archillect is an AI created to discover and share stimulating visual content

[Funny] - How current podcasts in India are [Instagram Reels]

• This is a super funny gag on the current state of podcasts by a famous Indian Creator, Sanchit Kalra
