Side question - what was this livestreamed with? Streamyard?

Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is gold.

Does it improve the odds of getting in or is it some sort of kickback to the referring party if they do?

What are the numbers? Are they disclosed?

When you recommend YC, how do you help the people you recommend actually get in to the YC program?

I actually like the YC as Ivy League school comparison - it has many parallels. Highly selective, has a set regimen ("world view"), has a somewhat high cost of entry ($500k for 7%, not bad tho), and has a fairly exclusive clique t

This article really needs more attention. There's so much truth in here, and the tech ecosystem is in a very bad place. Chasing growth, ignoring customers (even paying ones) and users and abusing employees. "Tech" is really j

The AI Today glossary and podcast series has been helpful for a grounding on basic concepts: https://www.aidatatoday.com/aitoday/

When you download a trained model for use by Python, I'm assuming the model contains both the architecture (the neural net or even a boosted tree) as well as the weights / tree structure that makes the model actually usable in inf

Question about models and weights. When an organization says they release the weights, how is that different from when an organization releases a model, say Whisper from OpenAI? In what way are the model releases different in these cases?

I so wish this was true. I'm a happy Android phone user with OS vintage 2016, but now all my banking apps are no longer working because they refuse to support my OS version. Many other apps from airline check-in apps to chat apps that

Basically, a coin flip. Sounds like not better than chance.

The Valley of Genius is another great book and doesn't hide much about Steve Jobs and his opportunism. That said, he sure knew how to raise money, build a team, and get attention.

It sure seems that of all the people who could coordinate and convince others not to run, this list of investors with several thousand overall portcos would be just the right people. A moment of stability at a time of crisis would sure be b

The best way to prevent a bank run is not to run. A stampede isn't caused by the movement of a lone animal, but by the herd. It's a classic feedback loop.

Right now there aren't many satisfactory options for insuring excess deposits but here are a few strategies (including your aforementioned "shotgunning" approach): https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking&#

Clearly there needs to be some sort of reckoning when it comes to bailouts. That's a political problem for which I don't have any simple answer.

I think this is a case of insurance coverage. The fact that there's some implicit coverage of excess amounts is not sustainable long-term. Just like we buy insurance in the unlikely event that our house is flooded or damaged by an eart

by rexreed 4y ago
Yes that's correct. I'm suggesting an additional fee that is paid by the account holder who holds excess funds above the amounts that are already covered by the bank in their fees for FDIC insurance coverage. I'm aware of the

Wait till you find out about the International Red Cross or American Red Cross. They definitely don't need your money.

by rexreed 4y ago
The simplest answer is "excess deposits insurance". Banks (or third-party insurers) could charge a monthly insurance fee for balances over $250k that provides insurance over the FDIC $250k cap. This allows everyone else under the

That's already well-known news. The above seems to imply research fraud, possibly tied to grants, which is now "overrunning the Institute" and I'd like to know more.

Tell me more about the fraud that's overrunning the Institute. I'd like to dig into it more.

I understand the concept of this particular fund raise / action. I totally get it. You don't understand my sadness. The money is there from wealthy individual investors to rescue SVB depositors who might miss a payroll or otherwis

Where and how do you have contacts where you can make a weekend call to get $300M in commitments?

Just want to say that as a startup founder, running tech companies for the past many decades, this post makes me sad, not grateful or joyous. It makes me feel like there's plenty of money on the sidelines to fund $300M+ at-a-whim larks
