Would love to meet you all.

@Ben_Baby Lol kids pay double what those kids are paying for the academic piece of what they do alone
English
All athletics-based K-12 schools need to be sent into the sun.
Serves absolutely no one — especially the children.
Houston Chronicle@HoustonChron
The Bennett School is the first high school and middle school sports academy of its kind in the Houston area. Utilizing the Alpha School curriculum — a two-hours-per-day learning model powered by artificial intelligence — students are able to complete the academic portion of their day in the morning and spend the afternoon focusing on baseball development. 🔗bit.ly/4c4fME6

@Austen yup.... and 11 bn dollars gurgled down the drain later.... its still either not profitable or break even at best.... if u dont know what EBITDA is. Wow its almost like he was right all along!

I remember people tweeting this video at me all the time:
A physics phd claimed each Starlink satellite could only serve ~1,000 customers at 20 Mbps, making the whole business model impossible.
Plus the cost of launching satellites was too high to sustain.
Austen Allred@Austen
People genuinely think no one at the company responsible for 86% of all orbital space launches bothered to think about the cooling problem. Reminds me when everyone was telling you Starlink was impossible because of unavoidable latency.
English
Ridiculous problem: I am looking at my MBPro (often running CI tests and evals locally) all the time in cars, planes, and just waiting someplace
I need an attachment to the bottom of the MBPro that deflects heat so my lap is not burned all the time. I don't want to carry a big lap desk, that's very awkward.
Anyone know of a good solution? Anyone make a 3D printed option for this?

Big deal paper here: field experiment on 515 startups, half shown case studies of how startups are successfully using AI.
Those firms used AI 44% more, had 1.9x higher revenue, needed 39% less capital:
1) AI accelerates businesses
2) The challenge is understanding how to use it

🚨 Excited to share a new working paper! 🚨 AI can improve individual tasks. But when does it improve firm performance? Our paper proposes one key friction firms face: the "mapping problem" -- discovering where and how AI creates value in a firm's production process. 🧵1/

@JeffiniteVC None of them are optimistic about the possibility?
English
@Austen As a long time Tesla shareholder— I’m sure every single engineer at SpaceX immediately imagined what a football field sized radiator would look like in space.
Notice none of them, only Elon, is optimistic about the possibility.

Why space servers FAIL Execs want to put data centers in space, but there's a massive physics problem: vacuums have no convection cooling. Discover why cooling servers in space relies purely on infrared radiation! Big thanks to @ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to ZTW26 and also for sponsoring this video.

Of course, the cost of launching satellites came down dramatically, and more obviously if a user has a 20 mb connection that doesn’t mean they’re pulling down 20 mb 100% of the time.
Extremely obvious errors, but thousands of people believed it.

Zuck force merged his code despite having objections over it by a lead engineer LMFAO
rahul@0interestrates
it's easy to approve zuck's diff, but do you have the courage to request changes on zuck's diff?
English
1. Serve in a government role
2. Write an edgy book with conspiracy themes
3. Say “I’m not suicidal” and do a conspiracy podcast tour
It’s beautiful. I’m happy it exists.

Software engineers in San Diego:
As a part of the dinner I’m going to do a big demo of @KellyClaudeAI and walk through the most cutting edge of what we’re seeing in AI development at Gauntlet AI.
Excited to meet you all.

@tomfgoodwin Claude says it will take 2 weeks and it actually takes 20 minutes
English
I do feel sorry for expert professionals these days.
Who have complete morons who know how to use LLMs coming to them saying.
" Well, actually, I think you can just do X", Claude told me"
or " AI says it will only be 20k and 2 weeks"

@28ozPorterhouse @_benparsons To be fair if I got to play in the masters you would never ever hear the end of it
English
@_benparsons Ah yes, the former pro who became a reinstated am and won, then proceeded to shove it down our throats with 99 Instagram reels about how he’s playing the masters.
What a lovely guy to root for 🤣
English
If you’re looking for someone new to root for at the Masters, meet Brandon Holtz.
Holtz is a real estate agent who’s been visiting Augusta as a patron for 20 years. Now he’s playing in the tournament.
He told me his surreal story: todays-golfer.com/news-and-event…

Oh boy
Natali Simmonds@NJSimmondsbooks
@cryptopunk7213 AI in the arts IS going away. Publishers are suing. Agents are putting clauses in contracts. The AI 'actress' stopped. Disney ceased investing. Artists who use AI are judged and no one thinks highly of them. If people don't want it, and it makes companies no money, it will stop.

@mahaniok We also had that. Down to the CSS and changing the logo only.
English
@Austen "Uber for X" or "Lambda School for x" is not the same as cloning the website.
English
I started a YC-backed company and a few demo days later there were dozens of companies calling themselves “Lambda School for x” at YC demo day.
In any big category there are a lot of players.
Your competitors will copy you.
It’s part of capitalism.
Get over it.

another example of immorality being a norm in Silicon Valley in the last few years. The imitator, clone, Central was accepted into YC.
