Read the whole thread. Francis is the creator of Keras and an AI engineer at Google. He knows his stuff. He calls out ads/marketing/copywriting as one area where ChatGPT is effective. His point is that the scope of things beyond t

I question how much of this is going to actually help with climate change and how much is just inflating another bubble that will enrich investors and do little for the climate. So many of the startups being backed are building things that

Sequoia was heavily invested in Robinhood and then backed FTX and promoted SBF as the next great founder, evening allowing him to invest in their fund as an LP with money he took out of FTX. That seems pretty suspicious.

I do think Julian's poem is way better and, given Notch already had a huge hit on his hands, paying €20k is definitely worth it even if it's just a tiny improvement in the game. What I think makes ChatGPT interesting is being able

Imagine if the poem were written on demand to you specifically and referred to things you had done in the game. I prompted asking for it to "make reference to Tim drowning in a well he had just built and the time he built a house out o

Sequoia was very late in getting into crypto and then piled money into FTX without any diligence, and then wrote glowing articles on SBF promoting him as a savior of humanity: https://web.archive.org/web/20221027181005&

While the mission is going on, they first send down low-res versions that are optimized for mission operations. That's why the exposure is for the vehicle and not the moon. Higher res ones that are focused on the moon will come later.

Part of my wonders if it was intentional on Sequoia's part to not take a board seat or get too involved. If they had and Alfred Lin were a director of FTX, he would've been pulled into the bankruptcy and all of the lawsuits, as we

I'm not talking about zombies. These are profitable, growing companies. Just not venture scale. Often you can work something out with founders, but the fact that the SAFE doesn't have anything to say about these situations is a bu

There is a third outcome which is a problem for SAFEs: the company has moderate-but-not-amazing growth and never raises an equity round. The founders are able to just keep growing it, paying themselves good salaries and eventually dividendi

Tether was actually created to solve the problem you describe. Traders needed to be able to sometimes park assets in dollars with an exchange (if they're exiting a position for example), but couldn't because of US regulations, so

Sound pressure readings under water are different than in the air. They're measured at 1µPa instead of 20, and water has a higher impedance.

Kaldi is an open, pluggable framework and is a ton more flexible and powerful than this. It's used by hundreds of teams, including a number of consumer tech companies you've heard of. They're not going to move to this over it

It's one model and in a non-strategic area where there are existing open source projects (Kaldi, DeepSpeech, ...). For a company that raised $1B, that's not exactly living up to their name and original mission.
