This week, I learned:

- [Luma Labs Dream Machine](https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine/) generated videos. It's free and is of reasonable quality. Update: 6 Jun 2025. Costs $10/month
- [LLM DataHub](https://github.com/Zjh-819/LLMDataHub) has LLM training datasets, regularly updated
- From Dan Becker on running a workshop
  - Answer questions at the end, not in parallel in a chat, to avoid distraction
  - Have fewer words in slides when presenting. It's less distracting
- Morgan Housel Shane Parrish podcast
  - Risk is what stops you from achieving YOUR goals. What's risky for me may not be risky for you
  - The lesson from compounding is that you want to optimize for duration, not return. That's what does the heavy lifting. Survival, consistency, long term - these matter. The performance does NOT matter.
