Wall Street is not a reliable proxy for ‘value’. For the people who judge these innovations by how well they can read their minds and how well it stands up to what people feel they were promised by Star Trek, the last 24 months have been a

Every few years I re-read the Count of Monte Cristo. I then wish I could forget it and experience it all over again.

Companies like Coreweave who lease accelerators may make this analysis less straight forward than it appears.

This was basically the only reasonable way I found to create a consistent user experience. I think of them as natural language BI, where you have canned reports to answer common categories of questions.

Never heard of it but I will have to check it out! Thanks for nothing, now I won’t get anything done.

This is exciting, would love a new excuse to play space trader again and then patiently wait for picoverse to come out. I’ve been stuck in that loop for over 20 years now.

Do not do it. They will teach you how to use their pointless abstractions which will mean when things don’t work right, you will have to traverse many libraries to figure out what is going wrong. They will make a lot of things seem very eas

Working on a product comparison platform that automates a lot of sorting through different self published content. It’s rough but seem to like it so far and I like working on it. Feel free to hit me up on X if you are working on something y

This is what I am doing right now. I don’t want to risk part timing it, not finding something (been at this a whole week) and then wondering “what if I squandered my time?”. Sadly I’m forgoing working on my startup because I just enjoy it t

That’s fair. I was just surprised to hear he’d be using carpet in the first place. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing, not questioning him.

I would just get a Roomba, bling it out, and then destroy it when it ripped one of my charger cables out of the wall. Or just get sheet vinyl or something.

Hot take: It will moderate, but not pop. Infrastructure spending will decrease but a bulk of purchasers are incredibly well funded with revenue sources that are not dependent on GenAI. I have no degree of certainty, but I have seen enough o

I’ve never heard of this outside of government contracts that require n+X. Is this a visa related workaround or what? Or is it just chatter from the grapevine?

I am not as cynical as others about the compromises Apple is willing to make to grow, but it is worth noting that Tim sure does talk about services a lot: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/05/apple-reports-s

Why are people so upset? Because this is not like ID’ing for cigarettes and alcohol. Largely speaking, people do not want there highly personal, sensitive activity and preferences to be attached to their identity and maintained by some enti

To be fair, they definitely do not cram an entire CS degree into the boot camp. But when the students come out they are able to develop a full stack web app and do some Java (I believe, but do not use so have never checked) and most importa

Counter point, I have worked with a company we’ll call “C” and they have been able to build a pipeline of folks who have been incredibly effective (>50). That being said the program is a bit more than ~3 months and the students go all in

Well, I know what I’m going to be watching for the next few hours… I find these types of analysis very helpful at work and building strong fundamentals has never left me regretting the time investment.

This is not a must have feature for me, but I am interested to see how it unfolds and I can definitely see it being useful in the future. I do think they bungled the launch by not thinking through the security implications, and particularly

You are making the situation sound much less precarious than it is. The reality is that the US has only really done something in the last few years, and those changes and attempts to hedge will take a very long time to materialize. Odds are

I have a lot of employees ask about how they will create value in light of AI that can do more and more of the things that have been central to their careers, and the answer is usually that they will do different things than before, and per
