Petraeus: The U.S. has not remotely learned the lessons it should from Ukraine. This is the future of war: Ukraine alone uses 10,000 drones a day, and 90% of Russian casualties are caused by drones. That should force institutional change. 1/

@Noahpinion I'm a huge heat pump nerd (investor in several heat pump companies) and happen to be both Swedish and American, and today someone is wrong on the internet, and it's you :). Europe is way ahead of the US on heat pumps carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how…

People may not know that the processing time for green card applications are months to years. So someone could come on a O-1 or H-1B, work for 5 years, become critical in their role, apply, and then have to abandon their job. Incredibly harmful to US industry.

So, #H1B nonimmigrants with approved immigrant visas (who congress gives infinite nonimmigrant extensions) who live, work, and pay taxes for 15 years—and have US citizen children—should be treated as though they are here temporarily (after 15 years of lawful residency) when they are finally able to apply for a green card? #SaveAOS #AbuseofDiscretion
Immigration Accountability Project Action@iaproject

This could be a HUGE move by @USCISJoe! Aliens coming to the US on temporary “nonimmigrant” visas should have to leave the US to wait for green card applications to be processed. Congress should eliminate adjustment of status altogether by passing @RepEliCrane’s End H-1B Visa Abuse Act (HR 8443), but it’s good to see the Trump Admin going as far as it legally can to fix this problem.

This extreme immigration change will separate families & harm businesses & the economy. It’s also just straight up cruel.
USCIS@USCIS

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-…

Andrew Ng@AndrewYNg·
The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

Wrapped up @ycombinator New York City fintech interviews at @Kalshi with @bradflora yesterday. Energizing to talk after to ~150 builders exploring agentic commerce, AI hedge funds, stablecoins, tokenization, AI financial data, ... Exciting time to build in fintech.

Yesterday @sama just offered to invest $2M of OAI credits into any current YC company as an uncapped SAFE. If I was in YC today, here is why I would take the deal: 1. You will spend that much $ on tokens building your product quicker than you think. The best AI-leveraged engineers are spending ~$10k+ per month on tokens. Thats $1.2M/year for a 10 person engineering team. The OAI deal means you don’t have to think twice about accelerating your engineering. 2. OAI tokens are worth 2X Anthropic tokens. Our frontier models are ~50% more token efficient than Ant’s. This means our $2M in GPT tokens is worth $4M in work accomplished with Opus. 3. You can use the tokens on the API. This means you can offer agentic products to customers without worrying about price or charging while you find PMF. Any product you offer that is useful with agents will use a non-trivial amount of tokens. Worrying about those costs while finding PMF doesn’t seem worth it. 4. The dilution will be minimal if you find PMF as an AI-native product and raise a Series A. A lot of series A’s I see these days are in the $100-$200M valuation range. $2M at that valuation is 1-2% dilution, which is very worth it if it allowed you to defer raising as much in your seed in order to pay for tokens. Would be curious how folks are thinking about it! Definitely an interesting offer to consider 👀

i am excited to see what will happen with tokenmaxxing startups, both for how they work internally and the products they can build. openai offered to invest $2M in tokens into every startup in the current yc batch. happy building!
Tyler Bosmeny@bosmeny

A mic drop moment @ycombinator tonight @sama just offered $2M in OpenAI tokens to EVERY YC startup in the current batch in exchange for equity Just like Yuri Milner offering to invest in every startup back when Sam was a YC partner I can't wait to see what's unlocked when you let the most driven, creative and formidable founders tokenmaxx

This is bullish for startups. OpenAI is willing to exchange $800m of compute for ~2% equity in 400 YC startups. That’s only a bet you make if you believe the equity has the potential to be very valuable.

A lot of people are trying to figure out recursively self-improving companies right now. I break down what we’re seeing at YC.
Y Combinator@ycombinator

In a recent batch talk, YC General Partner @t_blom broke down how to build a self-improving, AI-native company. He walks through how to create recursive, self-improving AI loops, and why founders who get this right will run companies that improve while they sleep. 00:00 — Companies Are Roman Legions 00:54 — Copilots Are the Wrong Mental Model 01:55 — Extract the Domain Knowledge 02:24 — The Recursive Self-Improving Loop 04:12 — The Holy Shit Moment at YC 05:50 — Self-Optimizing Product and Support Loops 06:29 — Burn Tokens, Not Headcount 07:23 — Middle Management Is Over 08:05 — Make Everything Legible to AI 09:40 — Regenerating the YC User Manual 11:19 — Software Is Ephemeral, Context Is Valuable 12:18 — Where Humans Still Matter

We just raised $10.5M led by @a16z. Patents protect the world's most important innovations, but the analysis to actually use them has always been too slow and too expensive. @StiltaIP changes that, and is already used on the highest-stakes IP work at multiple AmLaw 100 firms and Fortune 500 IP teams. If you want to help define how the next generation of innovation gets protected, we're hiring: ycombinator.com/companies/stil…

Boris Jabes (@borisjabes) co-founded Census, which raised $80M from Sequoia and a16z, and exited to Fivetran. Before that, he co-founded Meldium, raised only $1M, and sold it to LogMeIn. He is now a @ycombinator visiting partner. Boris is a legendary entrepreneur, an engineer's engineer, and a mensch. On episode three of Cars and Capitalists, Boris and I discuss: 02:43 - Optimism as a superpower 04:02 - Traits in winning YC founders 06:48 - Vibe coding isn't fun 12:22 - Stefan Zweig's Chess as allegory for AI psychosis 19:52 - Is AGI BS? 24:31 - Open-sourced models 28:44 - The secret to Boris' co-founder relationships
