YC went downhill during Sam Altman and then Garry Tan pushed it off a cliff. There’s no point in joining YC anymore.

I strongly believe the potential valuation and financial performance was not the primary motivation for Musk to buy Twitter, it’s simply a toy for a man worth $200+ billion.

$32K is cheap, we got charged ~$110K in Southern California (two kids - two different hospitals - both over $110K). Luckily insurance paid 95% of it.

Curious: what do you do when it's not a good enterprise lead but you still don't want to burn them as a customer? Do you point them to the self service solution?

I remember burning CD's full of 1 minute songs that never completed because someone was always calling our house line, disrupting the internet connection (and there were no resumable downloads). Good times ;)

I switched to using Instructor/Marvin which works really nicely with native pydantic models and gets out the way for everything else.

I don’t use Claude 3 for anything else than coding, it works phenomenal for that use case. Maybe we’re seeing the emergence of super specialized LLMs and some LLMs will be better at some things than others.

I think it’s a cultural difference. I’m also from a non-dubbing country (Netherlands) and I can’t stand dubbed content either. On the other hand people tell me they can’t stand subtitles because it “reveals” what they’re going to say before

Back in 2018, when Tesla was still worth $55B and Apple had more than $100B in the bank, they could've acquired Tesla in an all cash deal, but for some reason didn't. I think they would've made a great match.

These demos are always the same: “<Product> find me the closest pizza” Who actually interacts with a device like that? Is it an important problem enough to be paying $199 while I can do the same thing (often even better) with my phone
