@yishan @sergeantsup Thanks this is incredible helpful. Did you also dig deep into mold issues because of long covid? I'm trying to clean a cupboard under the stairs, so it's not really feasible to ventilate. What kind of mask should I use?

Thank you, this is the perfect next-level question because it's a little involved. Technically, yes, bleach is killing mold on the surface, and mold tends to try and grow further into the surface, and yes, water feeds mold. But the description of the mechanism above is one of the most common "false stories" that the essential oil companies promote in order to discredit the use of bleach. I believe that the prevalence of these pages on the internet is part of why Gemini and other non-truth-focused AIs are just regurgitating that. It's really pernicious. In reality, that's why you need the repeated bleach treatments roughly a week apart. If you just clean it once with bleach, you'll have killed like 90-95% of the mold but there's still 5-10% slightly below the surface. That mold will grow back again if that's all you do. So you need to clean it again in a week or so, which will kill more of it. In fact, the bleach itself also remains on the surface (the "water" that absorbs into the deeper layers is actually the bleach itself - bleach is ~5% sodium hypochlorite solution in water) and seeps into the porous material where it continues to kill or suppresses mold growth in the meantime between cleanings. To reliably kill not just the surface mold but also the mold that is growing into the porous surface, you need to do the repeated treatments. Upon each application, the bleach kills more mold than any water it leaves behind helps to grow back, given that the "water" is bleach solution. Repeated applications successively kill off the mold (as I noted above: you can use the smell as a diagnostic to tell how much remaining mold was killed each time) until it's gone. To be clear: cleaning with any cleaning product will leave behind water, because all cleaning products are water solutions (including essential oil products, since they are oil mixed in water). They all leave behind water on the surface! The difference is that the water will also feed the remaining mold, but when there's no bleach in that water, the mold will regrow faster. (There are no "dry" mold-cleaning solutions unless you are physically scraping it off, which is probably awful because it'll throw it into the air without killing it) Hence, the real answer is: Every cleaning product is bad for a porous surface because it essentially "just" cleans off the surface mold (depending on the product, it may kill the mold or it may just be like using soap to separate it from the surface but doesn't destroy the spores) while leaving the moisture to absorb into the surface and feed the remaining mold holdouts. Bleach does this too, but it's strictly better in every dimension because 1) the bleach solution kills and inhibits mold growth and 2) you explicitly need to perform multiple applications over a series of weeks to rid a surface of mold infestation, and each application kills more mold than any remaining water left behind "aids." (After cleaning a surface with bleach, you should not hose it down with water to "clean off the bleach" - wipe it clean and let the bleach evaporate, because that's the water leaving and the sodium hypochlorite remaining behind to get into the surface and inhibit mold re-growth until your next application)

@yishan @sergeantsup Gemini says that bleach is bad for porous surfaces like wood - since the bleach only treats the surface, but water is absorbs into the deeper layers and feeds the mold growth. Is this true?

I'm at a desktop now so I can type more; thanks. As background, I had to handle a situation where there had been significant mold growth and prior professionals we attempted to engage had made the problem worse. This led me to do a ton of research into the mold[-mitigation] "industry" which is not really super-well-regulated and doesn't have well-defined scientific/technical standards, and many practitioners try to use a lot of fancy words and technical terminology. Some practitioners are honest and do their best, but unless you know what to look for, you can really get in trouble if you pick the wrong person/people. The first thing to know is that there's a "conspiracy" to discredit bleach. I say "conspiracy" because it's probably not a real conspiracy, but it's one of those disinformation trends that many parties are motivated to (or fooled into) supporting and it has an overwhelmingly bad net effect. One major player is the essential oils (esp MLM schemes) industry, which seeks to sell people essential oil cleaning products as an alternative mold cleaning agent. This is VERY BAD because they absolutely do not clean mold to any appreciable degree. I say "appreciable degree" because like any mild cleaning product, you can always use it to wipe a surface so that it looks cleaner. But mold is pretty insidious, it tends to work its way into surfaces and leave spores, so cleaning it up is not the same as wiping up a cup of spilled juice. This is made worse because there are a LOT of web resources out there that purport to help you treat mold, and they consistently lie about bleach. It's insidious because they try to benevolently warn you away using half-truths, e.g. that bleach is toxic (yes, it is), or that bleach "breaks up the mold and throws it into the air which makes it worse" (it does break it up, and of course small particles being cleaned off a surface can get airborne), and that these supposedly make bleach ineffective at cleaning mold, or even net harmful. In my experience, every time I found a page saying something like this, there was a nearby page linked from it offering to sell an essential oils or other alternative (usually "organic") mold cleaning product. It is VERY comprehensive the degree to which this disinformation campaign has been enacted. My own sense is that in marginal cases there's a huge profit motive (essential oil MLMs) combined with people just not knowing a lot about bleach and nowadays being generally suspicious of chemicals and preferring "natural" alternatives. But for people for whom mold exposure is an actual medically-dangerous issue, this is deadly serious. There is no room for playing around and thinking you're killing the mold when you actually aren't (because you can't always see it), because you're gambling with your health. There are large numbers of mold mitigation companies who have been fooled in this way. You have a better than even chance of encountering mold "professionals" who will repeat some of these untruths, and they'll urge you not to use bleach, or explain that that's why they don't use bleach. If that happens, find someone else immediately. Actual real medical research - if you can find it, and it's hard, because there's lots of "science-sounding" advice online about bleach and mold that's way better SEO'd - has found unambiguously that bleach is the ideal cleaning agent for removing mold (and bacteria and even viruses). Here is one such source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC17… Most of the actual reliable medical research concerns the question of cleaning products in hospitals, where health and safety are directly salient issues - in a hospital it's not like "oh, it smells a little dank in here" - it's "if there are contaminants we didn't kill, someone could die" - and they all agree that bleach is what you use. Hospitals do not use essential oil cleaning products. Here is what I've learned about bleach for real: Bleach IS toxic. That's actually the point: it needs to actually kill things, and it breaks down organic materials on contact. Thus, it IS very important to wear gloves, masks, and eye cover when cleaning with bleach, and to ventilate the area well during and after. You are using a weapon. Protect yourself, or you could get really hurt. As I mentioned in my first message, the "chlorine smell" or "bleach smell" that people associate with bleach is not the chlorine. It's the smell of organic matter being broken down by the bleach and wafting through the air. This means that the first time you clean some very moldy or mildewy surface, it will smell VERY bleachy! It will smell awful! (You did wear all the protection and ventilate, right?) What happens after the first cleaning is that the residual bleach on the surface works its way into the tiny cracks and pores of the surface you're cleaning, and continues killing mold that has grown further in and inhibiting mold re-growth. Because every cleaning is imperfect, the only thing you can do is clean in one go is "most" of the mold - like, you'll really only get 80-90% on the first pass. Then, you have to repeat the cleaning a few days later. This time, you will notice when you clean that the chlorine smell is lessened! This isn't because you're using less bleach, it's because literally there was less bad stuff (mold, bacteria, whatever) that the bleach has broken down, so there are fewer particles now floating in the air. Typically, you'll need to do this 3-4 times, so truly cleaning a moldy surface takes nearly a month. It turns out that the smell is actually a great diagnostic indicator of whether you've cleaned out the mold because by the end, you'll do a bleach cleaning and the smell will be far, far reduced. Thus is how you know you've cleared the mold - when you do a cleaning and you don't "smell bleach." Finally: if you're doing this on behalf of (or you are) a respiratorily-compromised person, the bleach (or rather, the broken up bits of organic matter that waft into the air after the cleaning) WILL make their respiratory problems worse. You will need to move this person away from the area when cleaning, and then ventilate the area (windows or air filter) until the "bleach smell" is gone. If you are the person with respiratory issues... well, you should ask a ride-or-die friend to do it for you, frankly, but if you can't - you absolutely must wear a very good mask, use gloves, eye protection, and ventilate the area well while you are working. It will hurt. If it's not already obvious, my knowledge on this stemmed from a situation where I HAD to ensure that a mold problem was decisively cleaned, with dire consequences if I didn't succeed, so I couldn't mess around with solutions that weren't absolutely guaranteed to work, and the health consequences involved were actually made much worse because at first we trusted multiple cleaners and mold mitigation "professionals" who turned out to be totally wrong about mold and cleaning it. We paid a heavy price for this and eventually I was forced to do my own research and chase this all down, and that's how I learned how much disinformation is out there. (I don't talk about it often because "there's a conspiracy by essential oil MLM companies to defame bleach" sounds crazy. But occasionally someone is in a similar situation so I'll go out on a limb) Finally, a word about mold testing professionals: These are not quite as bad as the mold mitigation professionals. Sometimes they are part of the same business, so you'll need to be cautious if that's the case, but a lot of times they just do the mold testing. You will usually need a mold testing professional to help you verify that you've really solved the problem (or confirm that you have one, initially). People have asked me, "isn't a conflict of interest if the mold testing company also does mold treatment? Wouldn't they be motivated to say you have a mold problem?" Trust me, that is not the problem you should be worried about. If anything, your concern should be whether the mold testing company is able to pick up mold in small amounts, and distinguish between different types of mold. Good ones will have a rigid, almost annoying pedantic practice - because detecting and measuring mold is very hard! So the best heuristic for evaluating a good mold testing professional is the one who won't give you any solid guarantees and hems and haws with caveats. Don't work with someone who is overly confident, work with the cautious ones. All right, good luck.

@hthieblot Interested in what the fundraising process is like for VCs. What does the pitch focus on? Experience of the GPs, success of previous funds? How are you find prospectibe LPs? Are you cold emailing them for example?

As a founder, I never really understood how VC funds work and how partners make money so here is a simple explanation: 👥 Who does what GPs (General Partners), run the fund + make final decisions. They are also expected to invest in the fund, at least a few %. Principals, source deals, diligence, sometimes lead Analysts/Associates, research, sourcing, DM anyone going viral on X/LinkedIn LPs (Limited Partners) — the fund’s investors: pensions, endowments, family offices, wealthy individuals 👉 Small funds = 1–3 decision makers → fast yes/no 👉 Big funds = partner meetings + investment committees → multi-week process ➡️ Always know who can actually say YES and how long it will take. ⸻ 💰 How GPs make money 1️⃣ Management fees ~2% of total raised by the fund per year (≈20% over 10 years) • Large funds = gps can make millions a year • Small/mid size funds = 50k-200k a year max 2️⃣ Carry (profit share) After LPs get their money back, GPs usually take 20% of profits This is the wealth engine especially for smaller funds. ⸻ 📈 Carry example Fund invests $1M at $10M valuation → starts at 10% → diluted to ~5% Exit = $10B Math: Fund receives: $500M Profit: $499M Carry (20%): $99.8M to GPs If it’s a $50M fund: ✔ Fund returns 10× ✔ GPs take ~$100M in carry One winner can define a fund ⸻ 🧪 Fundraising grind GPs raise new funds every 2–3 years Takes 6+ months, constant pitching, tons of rejection Empathy moment: VCs are fundraising too and it’s way more brutal than raising for you startup. Usually hundreds of meetings over 1 year, all over the world. ⸻ 🧾 Back office Running a fund costs $1M-2M over its life: • legal • audit/tax • compliance • admin + reporting Big funds spend millions more AngelList/Carta make it cheaper ⸻ ⏳ Fund timeline Most funds = 10 years but can be extended every year Years 1–3: investment period Years 4–10: support + return capital As funds age, pressure builds to exit companies Happy to answer any questions.

@LeapingIntoHell @nematophy @GayBearRes Why does inflation cause the cost of goods to increase (or the quality of the goods to decrease per unit price), but doesn't cause wages to rise in tandem? Not a gotcha, was genuinely trying to figure this out earlier today but couldn't come up with a satisfying explanation

Most Americans are unable to comprehend the meaning and impact of inflation because 1 they’ve never experienced it at these levels and 2 most suck at man. The USG with the help of the federal reserve and other policies kept a downward pressure on wages while letting everything else rise in price. The average American worker is poorer than before but if you tell them minimum wage should have been $40 by now they’ll get mad cause they’ve been programmed to without understanding the implications of the current monetary and immigration policies.

Even the actuaries are wondering what the hell is going on

@yishan Interesting, but any practical takeaways for men? I've already tried everything imaginable

This is really interesting.

@louis030195 @ai_mediar cool!

Was great to be able to share a bit more about what we're building at @ai_mediar, interview link in comments 👇

@AlexBurlis congrats on the launch!

✨Today I'm launching Paraspeech on Producthunt. It's one of the fastest real-time speech to text apps for Mac and it's: •⁠ ⁠100% offline and on-device •⁠ ⁠<40ms cold-start time •⁠ ⁠⁠<300ms transcriptions •⁠ ⁠barely touches battery & just needs 200MB of RAM •⁠ ⁠⁠no subscription! First 100 people get it for $19.99 before prices increase to $39.99. If you tweet about, I'll send you a free lifetime license.

@AlexBurlis @DavidMaliglowka Is that shared or dedicated?

@DavidMaliglowka It's 4 vCPU's, 8 GB RAM, but only because I'm running some heavier other apps. For Supabase you'll probably be fine with 3 vCPU's and 4GB of RAM

VPS + self-hosted Supabase is insanely overpowered. People just don't understand. I'm running multiple sites, analytics, personal tools, some backends and a full Supabase instance with a 24/7 scraper that clones all of steam, doing constant data transformations on 350k+ row tables for $7 on a Hetzner VPS + Coolify - all while having a full Dashboard interface for my DB that is 100x better than Firebase, AWS, etc. Super thankful for all the tools out there.

@AlexBurlis what if my time off hobby is league of legends - isn't that just double autism😅

One thing I learned from taking a long time off is that, no matter how autistic you are, you need hobbies in your life other than building stuff and you absolutely need to spend time with people who aren't builders. It will replenish creativity faster than anything else
