@Yuchenj_UW @quangsg Lots of med tech is waiting patiently for Bay area people to stop needing to work on like buttons.

Not convinced software is dead. But webforms are. Nobody should ever have to fill out a form again. (With exception to authentic writing.)

@maiab Can't complain about Bellingham though. It's beautiful there.

@jaykreps I think it is no surprise generalist orgs are startups by necessity. It just happens that it is also a structural advantage.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

@jaykreps Main bottleneck for most orgs is likely team topologies:
Siloed: 1-1.5x
Permissive technical org: 3-4x
Generalist org: 10x
But that generalist 10x is because technical can automate probing customers and responding to insights. I still think few are the latter group.

@sporadica No one spot. Tunnel tops, marina beach, fort mason, and aquatic park. Mix it up for different days. Also find friends with a really nice apartment view : )

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

@lreyzin @oxfordmarlboro Understandable with worse bounds is likely more valuable (imo even for llms) for now. Probably release that first and optional next step is untangling the openai result and communicating that journey. You're probably the only one who can do that : )

@DylanBurritt @thogge Stanford frontier paper club and yc paper club is amazing. Hacker dojo was really good too.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

On writing with AI help:
1. Write it yourself.
2. Ask AI for feedback.
3. Select only valid feedback.
4. Ask AI to address selected feedback with minor changes.

This will retain your voice while protecting against AI-speak takeover.

@SchmidhuberAI @Pontifex Haha. Great paper by the way. One of my favorites from grad school.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

Founders who are raising: I'm working with @ericries on https://t.co/ATubQ0na94. Tell us about your company, your raise and the investors you've already contacted. If you're ready, we'll help with intros through Eric's network. Brand new, so early adopters welcome.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

@ikirigin Haha yeah very true : ) It's the reason I didn't wind up in the medical field.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

@ikirigin What is really not understood is "you succeed when you're network succeeds". Which both means make friends but also means actively try to mine opportunity for your network.

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

@ikirigin It's more tough if you're a new grad or haven't been networking in the Bay all this time. I got lucky with my first Lyft job. I knew nobody in the Bay at the time being from Minnesota. I feel lucky that I've had the last ~8 years to build friends here.

After leaving AI to do a masters in immunology and start a 2nd PhD (in microbiology) I'm beyond thrilled that @math_rachel is returning to her original AI home! 🥳

She founded the Center for Applied Data Ethics *years* before most people realised AI would transform everything.

@__alpoge__ Next morning update: apologies for the midnight slopxplanation but I think I'm not insane? Jacobian Conjecture counterexamples are now too cheap to meter.

Here are 98 explicit polynomial maps from C3->C3, one for each generic fiber degree n=3...100: https://t.co/okEIRcwuqy

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

I'll add more updates as we go along. We have to submit by 4pm 🤞

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

I am at the Hermes world hackathon in SF! My team is working on a networking app: https://t.co/L4snaLmcjx

[Erik Gaasedelen @erikgaas]

I've done a little bit of this in linkedin, but it is high friction searching for 2nd degree connections and hoping you have a lot in common.
