Local minima are extremely rare in high dimensional spaces, so if you ever feel stuck in a rut it’s probably just because you aren’t considering a wide enough set of orthogonal options

Steve Jobs' team told him to his face that his ship date was reality distortion. He agreed with their evidence and kept the date anyway. The tape explains a decision rule most founders never learn. December 1985. NeXT is 90 days old, funded with Jobs' own money after he left Apple. At the first company retreat, the team debates slipping the launch from spring 1987 to spring 1988. The pushback is brutal and specific. One team member has receipts: "We've got a person here that said he could do a word processor in six months that's taking three years." Another names the danger: "Reality distortion is reality distortion. It has its motivational value." Build the plan on a fake date, and every design decision made from it gets torn up later. Jobs does not argue the evidence. "Well, George, I can't change the world." He argues something else entirely: "I think we have to drive a stake in the ground somewhere. And I think if we miss this window, then a whole series of events come into play." "We can't sell enough units in 87 to pay for our operating costs." Colleges buy computers in the summer. The campus surveys had already put the ceiling at $3,000. Miss spring 1987, and NeXT sells nothing for a year while burning his money. "We have 18 months. So I don't think we have a company if we don't do this. No matter what I say or anybody else says, that is my deepest belief. If we don't do this, we will not be able to attract great people. We will not be able to retain some of the ones we have." My note: the team argued estimates. Jobs argued conditions. An estimate says when the work might be done, and it invites negotiation. A condition says when the company is dead, and it does not negotiate. That is why the stake held. He anchored the date to the market's calendar and his own runway, not to optimism. The engineers could refute the schedule. Nobody in the room could refute the window. The uncomfortable version for founders: if your deadline comes from your team's estimates, it will move. If it comes from the physics of your market, it was never really a deadline. It is a survival condition wearing one. Steve Jobs at the first NeXT retreat, December 1985. Footage released by the Steve Jobs Archive in May 2026. Founders: if you want your X to do this for your business, check the first reply.

The Nissan GT-R R35 earned the nickname "Godzilla" for a reason. Introduced in 2007, it shocked the supercar world by delivering insane performance at a fraction of the price of European exotics. Powered by the legendary 3.8-liter twin-turbo VR38DETT V6, the R35 produces over 565-600+ horsepower depending on the version, launching from 0-100 km/h in around 2.7-3 seconds with its advanced ATTESA all-wheel-drive system. What makes the GT-R special isn't just the numbers -it's the engineering. Built with racing technology, precise handling, and endless tuning potential, the R35 has become a favorite among enthusiasts who love pushing machines beyond limits. More than a car, the GT-R represents Japanese performance engineering at its finest-brutal, precise, and always ready to hunt supercars.

i'm in love with this quote: "if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
