I'm curious, did Palantir get the deal because of the close connections with Musk and J.D. Vance and Trump or were they genuinely the best company for this role?

Yes and this is what I was worried about in my essay on AI. They have burned so much of goodwill that the community is not willing to engage even with positive things now. This broadly is happening to tech as well.

The web framework of the future is for better or for worse what Vercel and YouTubers talk about. Original thinking is sorely lacking in the majority of the web dev community.

I still haven't come across any doc which ever captured the beauty of memcached. That little story is seared into my brain.

OK I have a new project starting and I'll try this for fun instead of the usual rust.

I foolishly worked for over 6 months without pay at my first job. Do not do it folks.

We are destroying any goodwill people have for tech with AI

I have a bridge to sell to all those who are paying these companies $100 / $200 a month. Obviously they aren't hackers, I get that, but even normies should have a better sixth sense?

YC has a big role to play in this mess. Gary Tan really needs to step down. This is what happens when you put a non hacker in charge of building tech.

AI bubble seems close to collapsing. God knows how many billions have been invested and we still don't have an actual use case for AI which is good for humanity.

The great steve Ballmer also runs a just the facts YouTube channel which I found quite good.

One very irritating problem I am seeing in a bunch of companies that I have invested in and my money is at stake is that they have taken up larger investments from normal VCs who are usually dumb as rocks but have a larger share is that the

This sort of extremely narrow use case is what I think AI is good for but the problem is that if you have it for this one you will use it for other things and slowly atrophy.

And more importantly none of this is required. Pornhub pushes more video data on far more unreliable connections without any of this madness. This is purely a play to get the tech company multiple. Nothing else. This is Wework style coverup

Why? Did they have a previous exit?

This is mostly so that the founders can take some money off the table. The founders probably have $10 million cash after this and don't have to worry about rent ever again.

+1 rerun is great and they also make egui.rs, one of the best immediate mode graphics libs.

Yup I realized tobi is a massive dum dum when he had Tobi.eth in his Twitter profile. Even Gary tan had it and as an aside that is why I'm scared of YC's future. All of those folks were on an easy blacklist for me on twitter. Lack

Wow Shopify has fallen so far down now it's just a trashy dumb company. No longer a tech company doing elite things. I wish companies didn't become mid so soon. Tobi really needs to step down and resign. It's a horrible look

No VC company has done what valve has done. More companies should be like valve. YC is also no longer a good deal for a company which has even a little bit traction.

Also the other thing that I realised after working with a bunch of VCs is that they are all incredibly dumb. Few VCs are founders themselves and you will have better luck with them but the majority of VCs have simply no idea about product a

Typescript looks so ugly visually. It gives me PHP vibes. I think it's the large words at the first column of the eye line: export const function type return etc This makes scanning through the code really hard because your eye has to
