@varunram Just take it seriously. That’s the right PR move. Everyone understands the product and workflow, as well described in your response. Now simply do two things: 1/ acknowledge you can fix <x>; and 2/ acknowledge you hear the feedback Don’t brush off. It’s serious

@AdamSchefter So effectively a ~7.9%/yr (avg annual increase). actually not “insane” as some have replied. In same time period, s&p 500 avg return >10% annually. More notably, try comparing to the growth of team revenue over same prop

@michaeljburry Fed liquidity masks weakness. capex chases supply not demand. Safety margin is dependent on price paid. Manage risk, not returns. Let’s go Burry

@samswoora Experience matters more than ever now, but only if that experience = you were and are 10x . Now those who are 10x regardless of AI, in any domain not just SWE, are born just unlocked even further but also unblocked.

signüll@signulll·
a long time ago my favorite interview question which everyone absolutely hated me for asking was: “how would you make $1k on the internet today assuming your life depended on it (nothing illegal)?” even 5-7 years ago this was pretty difficult to do & totally non obvious to 99% of ppl. but today we’re in a dumb arbitrage era. if you can truly wield the current toolchain that includes models, automation, & just moderate levels of distribution you can print $100–500k/yr w/ shockingly little institutional work. like, i can think of 10 things i would do right now if i had to make $50k tomorrow. ridiculous times.

you know why Valar Atomics is going to win? it’s not just that we built WardZero in 10 months. it’s not just because we’re the most capital efficient nuclear company in the world. it’s not just because we split the atom. It is all of these things, but here’s what struck me the most: our crack team of 50 took precisely 8 minutes to break focus and hear the news that Project Nova went critical this morning - a genuinely historic moment that puts Valar Atomics as one of the most important companies in the world - and then went straight back to work. No one on the planet can outwork this team. We’re going to win.
Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors@isaiah_p_taylor

Today, Valar Atomics became the first startup in history to split the atom. Announcing Project Nova, a series of zero power critical tests on Valar Atomics' Nova Core in collaboration with Los Alamos NCERC and NNSS. Nova went critical for the first time this morning at 11:45am.

Happy Friday Buff Nation 🦬 I’ve been working on a data project to explore Colorado’s player & position specific utilization thus far. I built a model that takes PFF data and cross references it relative to how many snaps a player plays in a specific game. It accounts for % of snaps for their specific position and doesn’t include OL (skewed the model too much). It also weighs the max # of players at that position that could play on any given down. I don’t mean this in any way to be a way to bash players or create controversy. My end goal is to build a model that can predict which players would be best suited to play more or less versus specific teams. I also want to include defense and expand the amount of data that is included. Right now, it only accounts for snap count, type of play (run/pass) and grade given for that specific type of play. The “should’ve swapped in” section merely lists players that were in the positive (underutilized) and any players that were in the negative (overutilized). Would love to hear your thoughts on how I can improve this and if it’s worth it to continue exploring. Also please let me know if I should post the other six games as well! Worked really hard on this so would love some feedback. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Insurance is one of the largest, most regulated industries in the world. And much of it still runs on PDFs and email. Further AI is working to change that. @amangour30, @sgondala2, and their team have already built impressive AI primitives that let carriers and brokers automate complex workflows safely, with AI that actually understands insurance. We’re thrilled to lead FurtherAI’s Series A, as they continue to turn insurance’s tangled paper trails into clean and secure AI workflows.

Insurance is a trillion-dollar industry that still runs on PDFs and Excel -- but that’s about to change. We @a16z are thrilled to lead the Series A in FurtherAI, a company building insurance-native AI workflows for carriers, MGAs, agents, & brokers. Their platform frees humans from the rote, error-prone work legacy systems have never solved.

One of the most fun parts of OpenAI is watching people here level up so fast and do such excellent work. We are operating at a high level across many different disciplines and many of the people doing it have never done it before, and joined us at the beginning of their career. If you believe in people and give them a lot of responsibility and support (and pick the right people to bet on) you will be surprised on the upside more often than you think. I would love to see more companies operate this way and think we would all benefit. (This was also one of the most fun parts of startup investing.)
