I know so many people who have Google/FB jobs straight out of college. It depends on your perspective, but its not rare. I assume anyone who wants to startup is atleast a top 5% engineer. Otherwise its just a bad punt. You have to be t

So AutoML is not smart yet? Its just about throwing more compute?

Yeah I've learned a lot about boostrapping working at a startup in college. The physics is completely different. You have to be very very efficient. You understand why Heroku costs 3x of AWS. You understand that raising money is not ne

Why do people care about free speech so much? When things get really bad, smart people simply pack their bags and leave. Politics is unpredictable and there's no time to waste arguing for free speech. People have no idea why free speec

YC is nothing like it once was. PG was the man. PG was high priest of what was once a secretive religion for people who liked productizing tech. Over the years its become just another Sandhill VC firm. I haven't heard of any big compan

I think I'll faint seeing AI progress anymore. I didn't even think this was possible. Have people ever done this manually before? Like without AI?

I'll tell you another reason why people underestimate difficulty of startups. The probabilities are completely uncertain. You just never know how big it can get or how likely it is. If you are optimistic like I was, you "hope for

I think thats an efficient way of testing if a country is actually improving its situations and getting out of the lockdown. Even traffic data could be useful. If pollution is still low, the country is not actually back to work yet

People have it really easy there. I'm from India and the needy are getting $10 per month. I think its $70 per month accounting for PPP, but even then the difference is massive

Haven't had the time to read the paper but spoke a lot about something similar with a friend. In terms of crisis, the medical system just doesn't scale. You think leaders were worried about running out of ventialtors? No! You can

People give all kinds of wrong advice when you start out: Take risks when you're young. Fail fast, break things. Here's the reality I've experienced as a startup founder. Its not the holy truth, but its been my life and my ex
