Hey @squarespace @SquarespaceHelp – your system tells me my domain expired on April 29 2025, because I have not updated my billing info, which your email asked to update by April 26. It's April 24, support is not helping and it looks like I might loose the domain. WTF?

@henrythe9ths AI Guide! Thank you!

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. Message me if you're interested)

The result is I am spending my $60 on Baldur's Gate 3 on #steam, because #valve does not have their head in the ass.

The #Sony #PSN #PS5 account experience is frustratingly bad. As a foreigner with JP credit cards, there's no way to access the product in English. #wtf.

@ANA_travel_info your partner changes a flight, you tell me my connection time doesn't work and leave me with no other option than to contact your call center where I have waited over 3 (!!!) hours now. This is a horrible experience. You need help to fix this.

@Joi Spot on. Use the AI to provide a common baseline, rise above that. Tbh I’m generally getting tired of ppl sharing raw AI output. It’s the opposite what we should be doing. We should be using it to understand what _not_ to do, to push our own thinking further faster.

Instead of banning ChatGPT, they should assign homework like: "Read the output of each of these GPT prompts and explain why they are wrong or how they could be improved, explain your reasoning and your confidence level" edweek.org/technology/new…

I don't know what's going on over there. But I hope everyone is ok

@elonmusk basically siding with Russia. Disgusting, misguided. businessinsider.com/elon-musk-bloc…

@R_Spicar_SP_CR @PedroNegro2 Nerozumime, protoze nemame tu zkusenost. Podle mne to neni ani o tom byt “pozadu” (ci “napred”), spis jen vnimat co za pouceni si z toho muzeme vzit my.

@PedroNegro2 Jasně, vůbec jim to neberu. Jen tomu fakt nerozumim

To už je moc i na mě 🤦‍♂️

Bad timing: announcing just when the COP26 is bound to open that instead of fleeing to Mars, we should download ourselves into META-verse. If we wish to land on Earth, it appears that the name of the game should rather be INFRA. “To be infra or meta, that’s the question”.

Try it yourself - log in to your account on one computer, choose your bg, launch a meeting, then log in on another machine. Your background will promptly disappear. #badux #userexperience #uxfail

@Zoom will remove virtual background and expose your surroundings DURING THE MEETING when you log in to Zoom app on another computer. Thanks but no thanks. #fail #cybersecurity #baddesign #zoom #remotework

Quite great tips for Design Fiction

Many of us are used to thinking about silicon advances standing apart from everything else, but the cost of genetic sequencing has been declining much faster than even Moore's Law, enabling consumer level 100% sequencing and analysis today.

We spend $750 billion annually on "defense" and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini

Who wants to know how fast Apple Silicon is for web dev? I've seen loads of different benchmarks but couldn't find anything that compared performance for things like Babel and Node. I decided to risk it and bought a Mac mini and ran the tests myself. Here's a 🧵with the results:

Except that he's convinced most his supporters that elections aren't fair. So now he needs to convince them that there's a better way to make him their leader. Permanently.
