@johnrush this is gold! thanks for this

[John Rush @johnrush]

How I Startup!

I started in 2004, exited, fundraised many millions, top accelerators, and then bootstrapped a HoldCo(24 products) to a multimillion profitable business.

7 steps I repeat in every product: Setup>Idea>Build>Grow>Monetize>Hire>Scale.

@johnrush this is really cool, will each bit be its own product or are they going to be bundled?

another random question: how do you settle on the pricing for these?

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@marceloclaure 💪

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@csallen @johnrush curious about examples on e-commerce, is it just resale? or products that fall in some of the categories above?

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@rosmine @levelsio was it an internal move? or just a completely company change?

want to make that change as a SSE into Ai but I really thought I should enroll into a Ms or Phd or something

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@levelsio - what service provides the gpu/inference?
- is the stack similar to your other projects? (one php file)

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@thefireworksai @MistralAI this is awesome!

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@3blue1brown not a fan of the text post either

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@ylecun Do we know the A = B, B = A by default? I think the “narrator” might do that behind the scenes.

Wonder if a way pass that is to have an LLM in the middle capable of prompting internal ones make this kind of conclusions and commit back to the original llm

[Ale Foronda @PIKA11]

@karpathy that was cool thank you for that!

I was just wondering, is it theoretically possible that a random string of tokens is as good as a lot of data?

Meaning when training you can either train it on 10000s of papers or this shorter “magic” token arrangement and get similar results
