Infrastructure in Norway is 💯

I just got back from my 5th trip to Norway. After spending about 6 weeks there and another 7 months in Sweden, some patterns are starting to emerge.

And check out these photos I've grabbed the last few years!

1) Almost all roads are 1 lane

once these numbers match, it’s time to find liquidity

[John 🧬 @elamje]

every company has a fuzzy exit valuation number

It’s what employees think deep down but don’t say “surely we aren’t worth much more than $X”

[John 🧬 @elamje]

the delta between where employees and investors think your terminal valuation is and where it currently is matters a lot

[John 🧬 @elamje]

what if fable is actually just how Anthropic makes consumer usage profitable?

it uses my Pro usage at least 10x faster than other models.

would be a genius trick to get everyone behind normalizing fast token depletion with a better, but exponentially expensive model.

@alexmartin_55 sauna and plunge - we got u

[John 🧬 @elamje]

…no shade if you are just looking to get into it.

You’ll feel a difference when the cheap wood bends sitting on it and your feet are cold while inside.

It will easily be upwards of $10k to have professional delivery, assembly, and 240V electrical upgrade.

We always tell customers

The Costco 2-person cedar barrel sauna is the best value traditional sauna you can buy.

- Heats up quickly (small size)
- Tempered glassdoor + window
- Harvia 6.5kwh heater
- Western red cedar
- Easy to mod w/roof and wifi
- Costco return policy

All for ~$3k out the door.

…that they should do a complimentary consult with us or another distributor. It’s too easy to be lured in with the headline number and forget it’s literally a minority of the overall cost.

We primarily sell premium, European imports that don’t use crap wood and glue, but

[John 🧬 @elamje]

@homegymcoop Common misconception here.

The sauna is not the main cost.

Site prep, delivery, 240V upgrade and assembly will end up being closer to $10k to have professionals do it.

We (https://t.co/hhuHZCRgkG) have better products. But ours are $50k+ hah

A single question, framed right, can alter the course of your life

@elonmusk @brivael Until generation and consumption co-locate, we will have much, much AC.

Mathematically far superior at power transmission.

@trengriffin Makes sense when put into perspective that most unicorns are vehicles to pump up funds’ paper returns, not actually $1-$10B companies

@bowtiedcheetahh Interesting

@DylanAbruscato I’m not sure what bubble everyone is living in to think this makes Founders Fund more in demand. This is a negative signal outside the bubble

[John 🧬 @elamje]

this is awesome to a very, very specific demographic and really strange for the other 99.9%

@WillManidis Look at where 75%+ of tax revenue comes from

[John 🧬 @elamje]

@eladgil This is right.

Your best bet as an entrepreneur is to find a niche where geography, logistics, sales, regulation, or brand are critical and let this be a tailwind to compound durability.

You should have a one line articulation of your moat against, and tailwind from, AI.

[John 🧬 @elamje]

The first time I wrote a LISP program, it was magical. Self modifying code and even hot-swapping live production code was mind bending.

I thought homoiconicity would be more important for this, but it turns out, LLMs just steamroll all need for clever programming in practice.

[John 🧬 @elamje]

Yes.

I’ve never felt better about building a company with geographic, relational, and logistics moats than now.

There’s an entire segment of tech that’s still racing to build technology that may be obsolete within 10 years.

[Elad Gil @eladgil]

The events of the last 6 months in technology are arguable amongst the most important in human history

The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents

We are likely in very early lift off & exponential
