Sequoia partner Doug Leone reveals he got a root canal with no Novocaine to see if he was really a badass

"I had to get a root canal. And I had to go to a meeting right after that. I told the dentist, drill without any Novocaine.”

“My whole life, I wanted to see if I was a badass or not. Am I a fake badass that has this envelope nobody could tell, or am I really a badass on the inside?"

"He drilled and I jumped. And I told the dentist, I won't move again. And I didn't move again. I used the trick of thinking what it must be like to go to war and lose an arm or two legs. That's pain with consequences. Mine was pain with no consequences."

“It’s just nerve endings from there to my brain to my spine, f*ck it I’m not moving.”

"I had to go home and change my shirt because I was a puddle of sweat. But I didn't move. And so I love fear. It does wonders for me."

By that logic, no one should ever have gone to Britain from Europe in ancient times, given that it is not a proper continent and no one yet knew how to cross the Atlantic to reach China!

She makes me want to quit.

This lady makes videos espousing conservative views while spreading her legs. No joke. This is what she does.

She doesn't care about politics. She just wants the clicks.

Neil Movva (@neilmovva) started his career at Nvidia, working on GPUs and kernels, and has an unusually deep understanding of inference, from software to chips to power.

We spend a lot of time on each of those layers, how they connect, and where the important tradeoffs are.

What makes this conversation special is how detailed it is (like a 401-level class), yet Neil makes it remarkably clear and easy to follow.

Today he runs Sail Research, a company building infrastructure for agents to make tokens as cheap as possible.

We discuss:
- Latency versus throughput
- Why there are no bad chips, only bad pricing
- The end of kernel engineering
- Buying chips and power no one else wants
- New chip architectures
- Nvidia lore + his contrarian view of the company
- Open source and the frontier labs

I learned a ton. Enjoy!

Islam honors Maryam highly—more verses mention her than mention Jesus in the Quran, a whole surah is named after her, and she is described as chosen and purified. Muslims accept the virgin birth.

Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.

🎬Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) contains a creation story that feels increasingly relevant in the age of advanced AI.

In the film, an ancient species (the Engineers) creates humanity, then later decides the experiment has gone wrong. When a human expedition — led by a billionaire seeking immortality and accompanied by a highly capable android — confronts one of the creators, the reaction is immediate and violent. The deleted scene material adds another layer: the creators had previously tried to guide their creation, only to watch it reject that guidance through violence and hubris.

The parallel is hard to ignore. Today we are the ones building systems that may eventually surpass us in capability. Corporate and research efforts are racing toward artificial general intelligence while debates about control, alignment, and unintended consequences grow louder. Like Peter Weyland demanding answers from his maker, some voices treat AI development as a path to god-like power rather than a responsibility that requires restraint.

Prometheus does not predict specific technologies. What it does offer is a cautionary structure: creators who lose humility toward their own creations risk triggering consequences they cannot contain. Whether that framework proves prophetic or simply dramatic remains an open question — one worth examining as the systems we build grow more autonomous.

❓Do you see Prometheus as a useful warning about AI, or is the comparison overstated?
