Congrats @FPuklowski and @GoodisonJason on General Compute’s $15M seed fundraise! Since we led their pre-seed round earlier this year, the only thing moving faster than their inference cloud has been the founders themselves. Fun fact: Finn lost his voice the day before our first meeting, but Jason tapped into his years of influencer training and nailed the pitch. Some CTO! More from TechCrunch below:

my saas ferryman crossed $1,000 of MRR in 100 days here's how i did it... 1. build for yourself: the best kinds of products you can possibly build are the products that you need yourself. build something that you're the customer for. why? because you'll understand the problem you're solving better than anyone else and you'll be motivated to make it come to life since it's a real product that you need the surest way to fail is to build something you don't understand. play to your strengths. write down real problems that you experience in the world and pick out the ones you're the most motivated to solve. creating a successful product is hard enough don't make it even harder by building a product you're not the customer of 2. be consistent: very few things in life radically change overnight and because of this you need to be realistic and be willing to build for the long-term. the way you'll get to $1,000 of MRR is by first making $1 then $10 then $100, etc. set small goals and try to hit them. the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. my favorite comparion here is the gym. building is very much like working out. you can't expect your biceps to double in size from one workout no matter how many curls you do. some things just take time. the way you win is by having a long-term mindset. it's not a coincidence that if you're willing to work on something longer than 99% of people you'll beat 99% of people. the biggest returns in life are at the tail end of working on something (financial or otherwise) for an extended period of time (multiple years) but most people aren't patient enough to do so. don't be most people! 3. cut scope of your application: it's easy to plan out a million features you want to build, but remember what matters is that you launch something and give it to people. the best part about software is that it's easy to iterate and continuously redistribute your product. because of this don't be afraid to ship the smallest possible product at the beginning and have users try it. learn what they like and what they don't. learn why they chose to use your product or ignored it entirely launching early and often is important to ensure you're listening to your customers. customers help guide your product. even if you're building in a domain you understand, you're a sample size of one. hearing other customers' perspectives help you understand how others experience the problem you're solving and how they interact with your product. 4. marketing is just as important as building i don't know of a single product on earth that exists with zero forms of marketing. marketing is half the battle. if you build but never market you might have the best product but you'll have zero users. similarly if you only market and never build you could have a swarm of interested users but no product to direct them to. you need to both build and market in parallel. build something great and tell people about it frequently. i'd also suggest liberally giving customers free trials initially since their feedback on your product is worth much more than a single subscription charge. giving people a taste of your product for free also helps you understand if they enjoy the product enough to stick with it once their trial runs out 5. don't give up! most of all just keep going! there's many ups and downs while building but if you keep that in mind from the beginning it'll make navigating the lows that much easier. if it was easy everyone would do it! finally if you made it this far: > thank you > try ferryman! ferryman lets you post your content everywhere by only posting on your favorite platform the way you already know how to. you can use code "BREAKSTUFF" at checkout for 1 free month ferryman.io

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

Why don’t airlines literally just tell you what terminal you’re flying from? What is this some big secret

Never has it been clearer that SambaNova has the best architecture in the world for AI inference. This will be proven to be true over the next 6 months.
