If the term 'soc2' makes sense within 2-3y, gsuite/ms and move on to more important tasks. Counterproductive area to innovate or penny pinch on.

If directly/indirectly impacted folks are reading, we are looking for a js webgl dev as part of the next 10X+ rev of our end-to-end GPU data viz engine (client+server), both contract / full-time, and remote-friendly: build@graphis

We haven't taken VC $ since our initial deep tech buildout years (more public pieces includes what became nvidia rapids.ai, apache arrow[js], ..). The VC funding and later sheer effort (and supporting customers) enabled us to keep goin

Yeps, that's a GCN, and probably the most popular GNN is indeed a RGCN :) The transformer comment is interesting. They're very close, and in general, the tricks people use elsewhere are getting translated to GNNs: convolution, att

That was a good read. Some slightly different perspectives: It feels like a wild west in GNNs right now, with a big paper or tool every few weeks. Interestingly, many of the issues discussed in the article are already components in modern O

How about 'startups profitably growing through valuable tech/product/impact without selling increasing ownership % to ammoral speculators and probably diluting employees to zero with layoffs one bad fiscal quarter away'?

Same - projects that span repos + GitHub wiki are great for the PM side, and being inside github is great for the developer side. An important part is that Graphistry's devops is largely run via GitHub actions triggered by PR labels as

VCs see a tiny chance that it can be a 100X return. So raising $20M at say a $50-100M valuation now, that means betting on a $5B+ exit. In return for getting money to take a shot at that level of artificially-fueled revenue growth, the foun

I'm curious how you'd account to factors like `npm audit` failing on probably most javascript repos out there on reasonably high CVSS settings due to including items like https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/

As a maintainer of a graph OSS project with an optional commercial tier, we are 100% fine with his original approach. A clearly written issue or a +1 vote (not comment, which causes an alert) is definitely appreciated. We get to learn usage

Agreed. I think the author took the wrong lesson, while you are sensing the real deal. There was a lot of rust advocacy time that ultimately had little clear business value -- a couple of bugs that may have been prevented, and rust may have

It's similar to hiring on mission: ensure alignment between what the person wants to do and what the company needs done. The more out of alignment, the more costly in energy, $, time, management, QA, etc. it becomes, and the less likel

We have been using async python for GPU pydata , including fronting dask/dask_cuda for sharing and bigger-than-memory scenarios, so a lot rings true. For model serving, we were thinking Triton (native vs python server) as it is a tight

Yes and no: - Sure, some long island hedge fund genius is probably smarter at finance than some bay area VC for reasoning about most public companies - But the professional VCs who have been in a specific company for 4-10 years, watching th

Most VCs liquidate most of their position around IPO except for really blowout exceptions, so that should tell you something about what the smart early money does on IPOs :) We were in an ipo just recently with same-but-different setup: - s

Awesome to see! We've been encouraging Graphistry users to look at Streamlit for the low-code side (and getting bundled into our next release for public+private pydata GPU dashboarding!) or Databricks dashboards. Then at the expense of

The recommendation for something like vanta or drata are spot on, and they have some somewhat cheaper competitors. So at cheap end say 5-10k for compliance management sw then 7-10k for auditor, and try to bargain a bit. Also maybe another 5

I think bay area is formally about 115k for 4 people to be low-income... So more like 30k/person. More relevant to HN crowds, if that didn't work, Stanford & Berkeley PhD students wouldn't exist. I took a founders paycut

It takes the complexity of international hiring (vs contracting) and raises it up a notch. Your home country like the US doesn't care (afaict) but the country they are in will have extra levels of compliance to go through, including la

Also: hiring (PEO?) & firing (at-will). We do global remote contractors for those reasons + unclear equity, but would like to do more. Per-state US registrations / benefits / payroll are getting easy enough so minor overhead,

What I keep finding non obvious is equity. And especially ideally keeping US side a Delaware C. How to issue international options and shares?

YEP. We're very much in this camp. We cooled on VC for the last 2-3 years just to work through deep tech + business fundamentals in the graph space with good customers. That was very much against the grain because adjacent companies (g
