this reminds me of Edward Burger’s (the mathematician) book on “effective thinking” is this kind of prompting broadly effective? if so, must be very short term phenom before baked in cc: @alexalbert__ @lilianweng https://t.co/l6wNxvQhZF

despite the tech world’s general enjoyment of shitting on X/Twitter’s EPD team, many great innovations — including “community notes” over a moderator team enforcing “truth” policy 👏 https://t.co/HdPryLxryU

Still not priced in SOTA AI model for <$10M in spend

there are only two modes for startups - it’s not working - we are always slammed and everything is breaking

has anyone programmed a Unitree g1 before, pls dm

@karpathy @zheanxu ?

startup founders, what did you spend your last $6M on because apparently you could have trained a frontier model

.@deepseek_ai highest impact innovations can be summarized as “communications efficiency.” AI is a distributed systems problem!

2.788M H800 GPU hours < $10M

Santa gifted our kids a high quality 3D printer and OMG this is so cool you can make anything

we wish you an intelligent holiday https://t.co/lyqQvG2PiO

wasn’t competing on intelligence anyway 💅

for everyone worried about losing their engineering jobs, might as well make the most out of it while it lasts (and learn about AI!) @conviction portfolio co’s are hiring: sf, South Bay, LA, NYC, Canada — dm’s open

Better to be right than to agree with your past self

Putting the doubters to bed

At some point, not using technology is irresponsible

2025 is clearly going to be unhinged. The technology world should take a few days to quietly reflect on what’s ahead. Also, stop with the Xmas sneak attacks, you sneaky venture investors, you

One of my favorite interview questions hiring early stage startup people Ok, half the time (or budget), make as much progress as possible on the same problem. How?

what companies (besides rippling) successfully went multi-product early?

brb, changing my bio https://t.co/1KO9Yvqu6H

it’s pretty wild how different staffing is in startups. can have 2 companies in same space: one has 1/5 the headcount at the same ARR scale

Congrats to teams @Coda/@Grammarly on their merger! It has been a privilege to work with the talented and visionary @shishirmehrotra @lshackleton, Alex DeNeui, Kenny Mendes, Oliver Heckmann, Brian Lederman, Matt Hudson, Evan Davies and many more coda friends over the years 🙏

1/2 if you like capitalism, you can choose to do almost anything if you do not, you can essentially only work in academia or government, both of which are critically important, but thus naturally populated by anticapitalists at a rate unrepresentative of the public 2/2 it is encouraging that American government will be infused with some people who understand the rest of the world works. what about academia?

an abundance of success and opportunity enables people to act generously more often work with the most talented people you can find — beyond their skills, they are more likely to have an attitude of abundance rather than scarcity

@skippperD @annembrandes @conviction I’ve never seen The Social Network, but I work with an amazing founder with a fast growing business who was inspired by it. It changed his life. So I’m excited to watch, someday. @skippperD @annembrandes @conviction As for “VC wannabees” if they like only the status/trappings of the job, sure — that sucks. But if they love technology and zero-to-one, are cracked, competitive, have great instincts, and want to serve founders, my email is Sarah at firmname

still thinking about the founder who pitched me “reading is dead” earlier this year I’m just not going to be a part of that It is like America’s much-anticipated decline Do not go gentle into that good night we can change the trajectory

Congrats @cartesia on their seed financing! https://t.co/NNg2pseY9K

outages and notices about rate limits at multiple model providers, if you needed more proof that inference at (growing) scale is hard

someone at NeurIPS asked me if they’d “missed the moment on AI” obviously not, unless you believe that a single foundation model lab dominates the economy AND the race outcomes are already known the internet games took 3 decades to play out. 2024 = year two
