He doesn't need the money though. I bet there's something cultural or structural going on at GDM that made him want to leave.

Going off the other reply, I wonder if a highly-active secondary market means that companies can raise series [A-Z]+ rounds effectively forever, where each "round" just refers to a giant purchase of shares under strict company sup

Unrelated, but I see the use of the phrase "taste" as having a strong Twitter / e/acc smell (in a negative way). I tend to associate it with folks who are prepared to victim blame researchers for not adapting to the &quo

I feel he'd want to rebut the use of an LLM for this task to begin with (i.e. find issues/nitpicks with the LLM judgment whether it said he's right or wrong)

+1, the tokens from before a quantum hack will be transferred to a new fork. So at that moment, the value of BTC will go to 0 and the value of BTC v2 will take the value of BTC. However at the moment, the community seems to be leaning towar

To what extent is YC's current strategy a form of "cookie-licking"? I.e. capture a small fraction of every plausible startup created by the next generation of students?

I'm guessing they were looking for preferential delivery to certain cell types, and AAVs just happened to have best profile for those. If anything, LNPs might aggregate in the liver even more than AAVs, which can lead to even worse h

Wait, what about it made you want to throw up? Was it that the proceeds from lawsuits were being garnished by the law firm rather than going towards the families?

I have a criticism that is the opposite of the article. We already know an immense amount about animal welfare and have done relatively little about it. Even if the AI welfare research is true, what are the chances we'll actually act o
