This is a mainstream media piece. Technical writeup and papers will be forthcoming.

The scaling issue the author identifies is exactly what we've built Strong Compute to solve. Dynamically scalable super computing. "In this environment the problem with a single bi…

On board with all of this except conferences, which I still approve sometimes, but typically see poor yields here. My preference is to pay for 1:1 expert training. Highest end dev …

The natural light and diffuse light are good tips. Next is to get a big screen eg. 85" 4K and put it 1.5m away. That should be your main display. I don't have that all the time, bu…

marginally relevant. space based dawn dusk LEO solar infra is the answer. vastly more power than we'll ever get on the surface of this rock and then onto Sol.

was a stated objective before the launch: "faster/harder booster catch" https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1858867695233425734

self built runner box how to including overclocked tuned high spec CPUs, and how to deploy self hosted runners.

how much analysis have you done on this? I'm working on a series around Kardashev II work - space solar, asteroid mining, dyson spheres and the real work that is happening to suppo…

Ah yes! I remember working on this. It was born out of asking all the YC founders what they wanted to see - and anyone else we met as well. Formed the basis of our second kickstart…

Yes, correct. As in their degree of openness (not much) is what's letting them down. I see how you could have read it as I meant their too open, which I definitely don't think is t…

a bunch at Vision Pro, some at Zuck's Meta, some at Hololens, some doing other things. Meron is doing BCI, I'm doing AI infra - strongcompute.com (YC W22)

Yes, got my founders ed. pre-order in, can't wait!

Having built similar tech (Meta, YC S13), it's been a great year with Vision Pro, Orion, Spectacles and more coming out. Currently at my co, seeing most day to day use out of XReal…

I’d like to build an audio life coach. Plays me a few things I find useful at different times of the day. If I’m out I would have it call my phone and talk to me. I’m interested in…

xkcd store has some good ones, Here's a few I've been planning to have printed: Human Spaceflight, everything to scale http://theorysend.com/uploads/bdcffe08190411f5095eabcc8860d3.…

Meta is a 60 person YC S13 company working to make Iron Man's computer a reality. We urgently need Unity 3D contractors to assist in some key areas. We have created the most advanc…
