@maxanderson Read CS Lewis. Listen to Tim Keller sermons.

Never been religious Been trying out church with my wife & 2yr old son past few wks b/c we like the values + community Sitting thru sermon, trying to keep an open mind and no judgement But it often sounds like crazy talk, super culty Specially the references to scripture. Overly cryptic rather than just saying the lesson in plain english And stuff like you need to “submit” — reminds me of the way religion was used historically to control people in some pretty dark ways Causes this repulsive reaction Finding it hard to “buy in” Any advice from Christian folks on how to get past this? Genuinely want to get into it because I see in the Christian friends I have it seems to add a lot of value to their lives

@henrythe9ths AI Guide

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.

@Sleepysolcap How would you structure a deal to buy time and not blow out the equity holders?

@paulg @HelenBranswell Looks like the ban applies to turtles with shells less than 4 inches long. I'm not sure the salmonella bacteria cares how large the turtle shell is.

@HelenBranswell Are small tortoises ok? (This is a serious question. We promised our son a turtle or tortoise.)

Folks, please. Do not buy small turtles for your children. Turtles with shells under 4 inches long aren't supposed to be sold. The risk they'll pass #salmonella to people (read little kids) who handle them is too great. U.S. multi-state outbreak underway. cdc.gov/salmonella/sta…

@SlingshotCap 👋

In short, it's hard to remove foundational infrastructure businesses. The more it's being utilised, the harder it is to be displaced out. After knowing this, you can build a robust portfolio. Want a list of such biz? Reply to this thread with "👋" and I'll DM it to you.

There are more than 6,000 listed companies in the USA. Most of them do not have consistent growth rates and they lose money for their investors. Look at $GOOGL, $V, $ADYEN and $AAPL. Apart from giving >20% annual returns, they have something else in common. Open this:

@d_kreu @_joebaffoe @Cambridge_Uni Is there a way to register for this talk for the general public?

@_joebaffoe Also this Wednesday talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/150… Originally it had #covid19 in the headline too, but has been edited. Maybe a little covid19 surprise from @Cambridge_Uni and Dr. Hans Wilhelm Schwaeble whom has a decade long partnership w Omeros. Interesting times ahead!

Watch “FROM CONTROVERSY TO CURE - Inside the Cambridge Biotech Boom” on #Vimeo vimeo.com/444879438?ref=… Beautiful documentary on the past and future of biotech and Cambridge

@JD4myfab4 Does exposure to high conc. NO also kill normal cells? How is high conc. NO going to be administered to tumor cells?

nitric oxide at high PPM is a powerful anti-tumor agent — cells directly exposed 1-3 mins to NO at 10-50k PPM, < 3% of 4T1 cells still viable & 1% of CT26 cells viable w/ 50k PPM for 10 seconds. BETTER THAN SURGERY w/o recovery — $XAIR to discuss 6/22 EC. abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/9045/pr…

@RobertPaylor5 You are an inspiration! Reminds me of this quote from Lombardi: I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

I’ve never posted before about what I look like at the end of my workouts. I’m exhausted, trembling, and fighting for every inch; but in my mind, I’m loving every moment. These are the reps that lead to something better, and these are the reps that I cherish the most.

@akrjeeva we need to do this together sometime

Inspired by #Dinkosabbatical hiked 8 miles in a nearby mountain! Always been an outdoor person. Never took the time to enjoy!

@iancassel @FLAMEUniversity How can I get a copy of this?

@jgrim375 They need to sign a deal or two in the next two quarters to get the upfront cash to avoid heavy dilution.

@NathanRudyk @MEMEXInc Can you make this interview available on your IR website? It's good publicity for your company.
