Non-hardware person here. How does the D1 compare to Cerebras WSE-2 wafer chip with 2.6 trillion transistors? The WSE2 is much larger obviously, but I would also think it can result in a large performance boost given everything is on a sing

I call it "disruption management". A strong assistant knows your priorities, often times better than you when you're being bombarded. They help manage the firehose of requests, logistics, details, and information to keep you

I appreciate what Tim has done and continues to accomplish to raise the profile and acceptance of startups as a viable career choice in Japan. I've first-hand experience with the many challenges of startups in Japan. Finding talent who

A friend of mine is the head painter at Chilton San Carlos. He said the volume there currently is absolutely insane as the Model 3 has ramped. They are swimming in wrecked or poorly put together Model S/3s. His accounts match the tone

I spent my past life at a fund of funds and partially agree. In general though, hedge funds are more likely to be up to some strange or "non-traditional" activities. At times, our notes about fund manager visits and due diligence

I see your point. The admonishment to Sahil at the end to "stop using" the term "lifestyle business" does seem to miss Sahil's self-awareness of the internal conflict between knowing about the misuse of the term and

Agree the essay was a great read. I didn't see anything to suggest the OP missed that fact so much as had a reaction to a specific part of the essay and wished to discuss it. Being a part of the SV startup ecosystem myself, I also see

It's not just due to the olympics. There have been calls to move the fish market out of Tsukiji[1] for close to a decade at least. Advocates for the move have concerns about the aging facility and desire to re-purpose high-value real-e

Thanks, the overall explanation makes sense now. > The technology 23andMe uses is wrong about 1/10,000 times Is 23andMe's tech considered state-of-the-art? I'm assuming there are ways to reduce both the false positive and

Thanks, this is fascinating. How is error rate being defined in this case? I took your explanation to mean: Cancer is common, so the genetic blueprint for Cancer risk factors should also be common. We have a higher number of samples to veri

Those 2 tracks are typically disentangled. I encourage you to check out MBA curriculum. Like most degree programs, there's a core set of business classes and a variety of electives allowing you to specialize[1]. [1] Example: https:&#x

As a counterpoint, Japanese people generally eat almost the inverse of the keto diet (high-carb, low-fat[1]) and have the longest life expectancy on the planet. It's just not as simple as "this diet" vs. "that diet"

Tough problem to solve upstream, particularly in a "first-to-publish" news environment. Better fact-checking tools in the hands of the publisher is critical here. It's ultimately on the them to decide if it passes the smell t

How do you determine real value and how is your determination of real value the correct one? Particularly in the context of the article, where the author is advocating for startups to set the real value of their products before launch. I di

"Pay attention to price early" rings true. Everything else in the article seemed very anecdotal or cherry-picked. This is what makes case studies about product success so difficult. With so many factors involved, any bold proclama

This isn't a fair assessment. Startups can't pay BigCo wages because they don't have the money to. They have to leverage other, harder-to-value benefits which BigCo generally can't offer. Increased responsibility, fewer
