“One of my philosophies of building companies is the importance of velocity,”
True. And the key to keep (increasing) velocity is momentum. I believe the fundamentals to that is infrastructure. Once you get to the "flywheel stage" of an AI company (http://nicodjimenez.github.io/2018/01/25/stages.html http://nicodjimenez.github.io/2018/01/25/stages.html), experimentation becomes so easy that new models can be rolled out nightly.
- ogdoad 9y agoActually the key to keep increasing velocity is maintaining a positive dv/dt, that is to say, acceleration. Momentum is more of a tendency to refuse to leave a state (think of `inertia-in-motion`), rather than actively seek it. If that makes any sense at all, that is.
- yeukhon 9y agoI think goal-driven is what keeps the momentum, regardless of the amount of investment and machinery available (though I have to admit a clean desk is better than a messy desk).
