@thecto It’s amazing that they made it past due diligence across so many investors. Says something.

Waymo AI are just people, bookmark this

@garrytan It’s been happening for the last 17 years.

Absolutely ridiculous Something truly absurd is happening on the West Coast nypost.com/2024/04/03/us-…

Hey guys this is racism

@DudespostingWs Physics. Abandoned.

This is a fun but hopefully 🤞 insightful blog for you data peeps out there.

@robkhenderson It comes down to phonetics and pronunciation of East Asian languages with the Roman alphabet… or the difficulty in doing so.

South Asian parents give their US-born kids south Asian names, but east Asian parents don’t give their kids east Asian names.

@PicturesFoIder Easy. Physics + Demo bricks

I will never understand how this works, bc the only thing I would break is my arm

@AngelicaIAC If you actually want to get work done, you don’t get an office at @WeWork. If you want to vibe and hang out, the WeWork is the place to go and pretend you are doing work.

SF what’s happening? saturday morning in a wework and I’m the only one here 🥱

@ElonFactsX @elonmusk Rising cost of living is an obvious reason for developed countries. But it’s more than that. The cost of healthcare and education also is a concern. Safety in supposed developed nations is on the decline. There’s also social narratives celebrating not having families as well.

Elon Musk: “So many people, including smart people, think there are too many people in the world and think the population is growing out of control. It's completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers. If people don't have more children, civilization is going to crumble.”

@alifarhat79 They sell people….

Palantir taking a hit after everyone finally realized no one knows what the fuck this company does

@laurenbalik A data movement company that moves data to a data warehouse/ lake buys the company that moves dads from the data warehouse / lake back to the source ? Sounds like a lot of fun to generate more compute $$$.

Great to see one Andreessen Horowitz portfolio company buying another Andreessen Horowitz portfolio company. techcrunch.com/2025/05/01/fiv…

There’s a lot of confusion about using #LLM for #enterprise #analytics. In this realm, #text-to-#sql is the use case. #Data #Catalog vendors have recently tried to market that they can do this. Here’s 5 reasons why you should watch out for that. @kaycee.lai/5-reasons-why-slapping-an-llm-on-your-data-catalog-doesnt-do-what-you-think-it-does-f3b7fb29a0f3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@kaycee.lai/5-…

@AmiAsadiii Why? Because they have seen, ran and wrote the playbook and re-wrote the playbook too many times to count. Not only do they know what it takes to succeed, they expect the playbook to change and they know how to deal with the changes.

@AmiAsadiii It’s not an age thing. It’s a SUCCESSFUL experience thing. Key word is successful. Someone who found success in doing something repeatedly for 3 years is way more likely to succeed than someone who has done the same thing for 20 years with crappy results.

Forget the stereotype. The data is clear. Successful startup founders are, on average, much older than you might think. Based on the US Census Bureau data, they are founding their companies at 42, rising to 45 for the most successful ventures!

@AmiAsadiii Sometimes it takes time to get those experiences. So when it happens we may be later in life. But when it happens we are so well equipped to rock it that what may be perceived as risky for others is not for the entrepreneur.

@RavitJain @PromethiumI I had a blast doing this. Thank you

@JohnKutay So I think it would be helpful to write a blog on this topic.

grasping for duckdb straws in the gc

@EpicMovieScene @PicturesFoIder For sure

@PicturesFoIder Dad of the year?

What in the world is this creature

@JohnKutay I’m old so I can remember a time when we were taught, “There’s price, performance, and scalability to consider when it comes to infrastructure. You can have two out of the 3 in your favor but not all 3.” There is always going to be a trade off at some point.

I'm once again here to remind everyone that in data infrastructure, nothing comes for free. You want operational simplicity? Your SLAs better be loose. You want performance and strict SLAs? You better know exactly what you want and what you're willing to pay for!
