Building a product is hard. Building the product right is harder. Building the right product is the hardest.

A great founding team setup is Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. One founder zeroes in on building the best product in the world and the other handles early distribution.

Hope you invested in @redpandadata in 2020. Now it is a $1b company and it is too late for @confluentinc to acquire. Congrats @emaxerrno, well-done! businesswire.com/news/home/2025…

@spyced @PeterVeentjer Can you please provide the link for the dataset?

@PeterVeentjer I'm seeing ~50ms to query the 41M rows in the Wikipedia dataset with a single thread in a 4GB heap. As always with ANN, can trade accuracy for latency and vice versa.

Article on indexing all of wikipedia-en with JVector on my laptop will go live next week.

We are building a new cloud—one that is open source, can run anywhere, and costs 3-10x less. Join our Rebel Alliance, as we launch part of @ycombinator W24! ycombinator.com/launches/KdH-u…

I like the bluesky brand, new home of tweeting birds. bsky.app/profile/oztali…. Who else is there?

@jerrinot Awesome to see @hazelcast people pushing the boundaries. Congrats to you all. 🚀

@denizoktar Geçmiş olsun Deniz. Sevgiler.

2023 un büyük bölümünü yoğun bakım koridorları ve hastanelerde geçirdim. Çok şükür, sonunda toparladık. Zor oldu. 2024 güzel geçecek umarım. Çok içime kapandım, biraz toxiclestim. Arayıp soramadigim, istemeden kırdığım herkes iyidir umarım. 2024 güzel bir yıl olsun! Sevgiler.

Seriously though — what did Ilya see?

@umurc Congrats! Enjoy the journey.

I’m excited to share that I’m starting a new company. It has been an amazing 12 years first with #CitusData and #Microsoft, and then back home with #YCombinator - I am grateful for every minute of it, to work with amazing people, and to help build a part of the future with wonderful customers, founders and friends. Now, I’m going back at it with my fellow co-founders Ozgun Erdogan and Daniel Farina, and a stellar team we’ve worked together with before. #Ubicloud is an open and portable cloud. The cloud is here to stay, and we believe a simpler, portable and open version of it will make a lasting difference. Companies can self-host Ubicloud anywhere for more control and simplicity, or use our managed service for core cloud services that reduce their cloud spend to a fraction. We are starting with VMs, virtual networking, block storage (non-replicated), with data always encrypted, and fine-grained access controls to manage it all. If this sounds interesting, please take a look at our GitHub repo and drop us a line with what you think: github.com/ubicloud/ubicl… (and leave a star if you can :) Thank you all for your support in our journey so far, and looking forward to building together in our next chapter!

Only if you think I deserve it, I would appreciate if you put in a vote for me in the form linked below. Further, and only if you think I deserve it, please reshare this post. Thanks 🙏

@erenbali Even being able to discuss such things is a big thing, let alone saying it loud in twitter. Brave.

@erenbali @omerartun Ali Nazik at Meyhouse is incredible.

Meyhouse in Palo Alto (disclaimer I’m a small investor) may be the best representation of authentic Turkish cuisine in the US. My friend @omerartun (tech founder & culinary 🐐) curated incredible dishes from different regions of Turkey and added his spin opentable.com/restaurant/pro…

Jokes for AI people: "Which movie made a big impact in AI?" Transformers. "What would be good name for a baby Megatron?" Perceptron. "What is that all you and Perceptron need?" Attention.

New meme: "there is an AI model for that".

Tonight in SF, let's talk about LLMs & hallucination. Looking forward to meeting you all.
