🎶✨FIST BUMP III OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK BY ADEXIOS✨🎶 Mega honored to deliver these 3 tracks that you've been listening with your ears during the event THIS SAME WEEKEND!!!!!✨ (AUG 29-30) Shoutouts to @ClubSmashBanana @FistBumpTw @BenLacen @Waffunaut for the opportunity!! ✨🎶

Sure! The laptops were part of our prototype offsite datalink setup for live VOD uploads that wouldn’t interfere with main stream. We ran signal aggregation software on them (to combine multiple data connections), routed that into a central router, and powered it all via an external battery. Since WiFi and cellular were garbage, due to the venue being in a sunbaked gym at the bottom of a hill, we adapted our setup after a power outage knocked out the venue’s main data line. Had to the keep the stream alive and maintain sponsor obligations. At one point, we were combining a Starlink, a mobile hotspot, and two phones just for a stable signal. Then came the real kicker: the laptops started throttling data from overheat sitting in direct sunlight. We couldn’t find an awning or tarp to throw over it. And according to some napkin math, the shade wouldn’t hit for another 2–3 hours. So I found two 10x12in pieces of white cardboard. Pic for reference

@Waffunaut Can I ask what the laptop setups where? Audio/video/game capture, how many usb hubs, adapters, etc? The nitty gritty if you may 👀.

I saved Wavedash 2022 with two laptops, a starlink, and 12x20in sheets of white cardboard

@henrythe9ths AI Guide

There's a shocking fact about AI that nobody tells you: You can catch up to the public AI research frontier in just 2 weeks. Yes, really. I've built a $150M annual revenue startup over the last 8 years and If I were to start a company today, I’d drop everything and go all-in on AI. But like many busy software builders, I felt lost—overwhelmed by the noisy, crowded and fast-moving modern AI landscape. And I wasn’t alone. So I spent my entire holiday diving deep into AI research—reading 30+ papers, watching hours of lectures, analyzing trends, and catching up to the research frontier. ✨ Here’s what I learned: - You don’t need months (or years) to catch up. - You don’t need a PhD or decades of ML experience. - You need fewer than 20 papers and 2 weeks to understand the major breakthroughs shaping AI today. It's because the technology is extremely nascent and most techniques that came before are no longer relevant: - ChatGPT is barely 2 years old and Transformers are only 7 years old. - Most game-changing discoveries happened within the last 4 years, driven by a few breakthrough ideas, scaling laws, and efficient matrix multiplication. The biggest secret? Many groundbreaking AI papers with thousands of citations are surprisingly simple and applied, like adding "let's think step by step" to the prompt, or simply asking the LLM over and over again to improve its answer (Self-Refine). I realized there are tons of founders and builders in the same boat—wanting to dive deeper into AI but unsure where to start. I've created an essential AI Guide that helped me catch up, in just 2 weeks, to the frontier of public AI research to figure out where the next opportunities and gaps were: - Curated list of only the most important papers - Simple explanations of key concepts - Clear pathway to understanding the frontier of modern AI It’s perfect for: - Founders expanding into AI - Builders wanting to innovate at the frontier of AI - Investors looking to separate the signal from the noise 👇 Want the full guide? - Like and Share this post - Comment "AI Guide" - I'll send you the complete guide (ps, I’m also teaming up with @VishalVasishth, co-founder of @obviousvc with @ev (focused on large-scale societal impact companies like Twitter, Medium, Beyond Meat), to host a small meetup to discuss what's working and needs to be solved in the AI stack in SF.

Been processing my first run at @TeslaCorsa at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway yesterday. Here are my top 10 takeaways: 1. If you are at all interested in pushing a car closer to its limits, you should do this at least once. I now think of our Teslas as those horses who live on the dude ranch and do the same depressing trail every day at 2 miles an hour with people who haven’t been on a horse in decades and eat too much sugar if you know what I mean. I actually think they love to get out and drive and corner fast once in a while. 2. It’s mind-blowing that a Tesla can bolt around the track as fast as it can and after a five or six minute cool down, it’s back to a daily driver. Almost like it has two personalities. 3. There’s a lot more to racing than just point and pedal. There’s a ton of physics involved. It’s constant thinking and calculating. 4. Tire technology is crazy. When you think about the ability to keep a 5000 pound car on a tight apex at 60 miles an hour and unless you floor the pedal, you’re not gonna lose grip, you know it comes from decades of trial and error from the tire manufacturers. 5. We were racing between gas car heats. Mostly Corvettes, Camaros and Mustang, but people raced a little bit of everything. There is passion in almost every car brand. 6. Walking around the staging area, it’s clear that this is a possibly addictive sport. You can see a lot of money being poured into running around a track for 20 minutes every couple hours. For the most part, the Tesla people just showed up with their cars (although Anthony Quatrale was a godsend because he showed up with a trailer and every tool he owned and we borrowed a ton of stuff like tools to get the tow plug off). In general it looks like gas cars need a lot more maintenance and fluids on track day than we needed. 7. As always, Tesla people at events are relaxed, friendly, helpful, and love to talk about cars. And the OG SoCal Tesla people like @FthePump1 and all the great @UnpluggedTesla peeps are great. 8. I said before that driving like this makes you think and calculate carefully. On the way back to our condo. I was clearly thinking differently about traffic, safety, and driving like I hadn’t before. Almost like being a pilot. 9. And speaking of pilots, my morning instructor was amazing. A lifelong Air Force pilot and flight instructor, he was confident, cool and friendly. Got his number for the future. Googled him later and OMG he’s one of the most famous, highly decorated Colonels I’ve ever seen 😳 When we met he said “I’ve been teaching the best and the brightest to fly Mach 2 my whole life. We can do this.” Such good teacher. 10. Not only does TC help with basic track knowledge and etiquette, it truly boosts confidence while driving. My son even rented a helmet and did a run with me, which is something we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

500kW?! 🤯

5 years ago, never would we have expected to travel as a crew to Asia And now we’ve successfully helped run the largest tournament in Taiwan Thank you to all the Taiwanese players, organisers, homies, and everyone in between for the opportunity to make something legendary

Quieres? @Waffunaut @RDTBigBoss @krn_abdul_jabar

It's been exactly 3 years since I hosted Get in the Game 2020. This tournament taught me so much about what it takes to be a TO and how much we, as a community, can accomplish as we doubled the donation goal for charity. One of our greatest achievements as SoCal Smash imo

.@Waffunaut is carrying Wavedash so bad from the shadow!
