   This would suggest that there is an imbalance and a lot more capital than startup projects though. Is it really that extreme over there in silicon valley?

   I believe yc has always encouraged startups to be frugal until they find product market fit, at which point then it starts to make sense to spend money to fund growth, whether it comes from vc or nkt

   I've heard quite a few anecdotal stories about how GWB was a lot smarter than he was portrayed to be in the press. There was also a snippet online on youtube somewhere where he was unaware he was being filmed and discussing something v

   I feel like a lot of the companies are the same way though. I mean AirBnB pretty much only ever has had 1 product.

   I had a friend in high school who used to do a magic trick where he would claim that he made your dick disappear. He used to do it all the time and find it amusing. He ipo'd his startup last year and made a lot of money.

   Wait I don't get it, it's not fully backed but it's still backed somewhat right? I thought it was only a chunk of USD that was missing? Or did they completely abandon the usd backing? If it's still somewhat backed and ju

    I really feel space tech is gonna be the next big thing going forward, but I have zero clue about how to get involved. It seems like one of those things where you really need to either be some government agency or have a PhD in it or someth

    I've been wondering about that actually. How do they get away with it when they are essentially just profitting off of other people's images

    Didn't read the paper in detail, but seems just an extension / application for single image depth prediction problem?

    I don't think that's funny dude. The asshole with the bad ideas is in the ceo seat and he's your boss. I can't think of a less funnier employment situation. Kudos on him for having what it takes to actually bring it to l

    cyber mercenaries. Sounds cool. On a more serious note though, it certainly appears this is how its going. APT41 turned out to be some private company in chengdu and APT39 I think it was some outfit in vietnam. Its pretty interesting (cool?

    How much are you burning to keep your services running? For most of these gpus are required for inference and I know gpu instances aren't cheap

    What can it do exactly though? A lot of talk about decentralization and distributed database and Yada Yada Yada. I'd love to find a good use case for blockchain but so far it's elusive

    Thats pretty fascinating. I think PG made it pretty clear that none of the VCs thought airbnb's idea had any potential at first, I guess somehow they managed to turn it around, at least within the YC cohort

    I think its pretty fascinating that some of the most active and dangerous hacking operations are all operated out of these small shops. It was the same case with APT41 which was linked to some small outfit in chengdu China.
