10x engineers most certainly exist, I've had the fortune of being able to work with a few and their true impact isn't in the code they themselves write but in the higher-level stra…

I mean in a sense traditional record labels are already exactly that for the music industry, it's the same financing and payoff model (record labels front an advance to the artist …

MEAL Team Six at it again I see

"it's ok, there's only a 1 in a trillion chance of this happening"

Congrats on the launch, a question on the technical side of things -- how much computational overhead does your desktop client incur on the host machine? If you're running CV algor…

I have yet to deep-dive into the techical details of Pegasus so this is pure speculation, but if Pegasus demonstrates the feasibility of deploying and executing arbitrary payloads …

Talk about Baader-Meinhof, was just wondering last night how my messages get routed to friends and relatives overseas. Fascinating find, thanks for sharing

I find alternative data to be a fascinating world, your idea reminds me of CargoMetrics which is doing a similar thing in the shipping industry. Just wondering -- if and when you r…
