Larry Page and Sergey Brin tried to sell Google for under $1m so they could return to their PhDs. Paul Allen had to convince Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard took day jobs until pushed by a professor to start HP. Steve Wozniak wanted HP to build…

The idea of convincing people to become entrepreneurs is ridiculous. If you need to be convinced, you shouldn’t do it. Starting a company is totally irrational—you need to be obsessed and committed to a painful, decade-long grind. Most people are better off as employees.

Many talented people ontop of myself are putting everything we have into making this happen within ~18months 🙏 We have the team and are going to manifest the compute

I'm rooting for @natolambert to raise the money for his American DeepSeek project.

Few months ago researchers from Meta empirically found out that LayerNorm acts similar to a TanH, squeezing in the weights that are too high into more tractable values They tried to replace the LayerNorm with a TanH, and achieved similar results at higher speed What??? [1/8]

I think the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, built in a Classical style in 1915, is proof that authenticity doesn’t really matter at all in buildings. If it looks good you can just build a Greek temple in the middle of a West Coast American city and people will love it.

Beauty endures. When wielded in the service of scale, the effect is a humbling grandiosity making us feel small, not vulnerable, but in awe. This is an immensely difficult feat to pull off, but when achieved, is close to a religious experience

Working at Ai2 is probably the closest thing to this btw Tweeted this over a year ago while I was still at Apple, cool to see I kinda figured it out

Is there any way at all I can get paid $200k/yr to go back to school. Pls don’t laugh

Waymo crashed in SF. Police questioning the self-driving car. Surreal. (Wasn't waymo's fault. Actually tried to protect the passengers.)
