@sabeer Shack 15 is the best

[Muthukrishnan Dhandapani @dmuthuk]

Charlie Munger used to repeat that we need to be just and fair to the other side of the table, as roles can be reversed at any time.

He insisted that if you treat the other side ruthlessly when you have the upper hand, you guarantee your own destruction when the scales inevitably tilt.

​This is applicable to all aspects of life.

​Unfortunately, it is usually forgotten by all ruling parties.

@vimal8rathore @brilliantorg So awesome

[Simar @hellosimar]

@ycombinator @memorydotstore Awesome 👏

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Memory Store (@memorydotstore) gives your team and AI agents a shared company brain.

Your team's knowledge & decisions are scattered across slack, emails, and people's heads. Memory Store turns them into a living wiki for your agents and teammates.

Congrats on the launch, @ishitajindal17 & @diwanksingh!

So awesome

[Douglas Qian 钱钟理 @douglasqian]

Anyone else wish you could just talk to your podcast app?

Well, @telenardo and I did. So we built Orbit - the first AI podcast app you can talk to

Ask follow-ups, get summaries, take notes. Hands free

We don't know if it's worth pursuing yet. Please help us find out

The app is in Apple review but if you comment "Orbit" I'll DM you TestFlight access as soon as it's live 👇

@douglasqian @telenardo This is awesome!

People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers

SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY

NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world

Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's an unimpressive-sounding word, but one of the most powerful motivations is the motivation of the hobbyist. That's what keeps successful founders working on their companies long past the point when they've made enough to quit. It's their beloved project.

Happiness is a skill

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The biggest mistake we make is thinking happiness is a result of what happens to us. But happiness is a skill, not a reward. If we don’t learn to enjoy where we are now, we won’t enjoy where we’re going either.

[Simar @hellosimar]

So true

[Michael J. Miraflor @michaelmiraflor]

Getting paid to think is peak everything. If you’re getting paid well to think, don’t take it for granted. That’s 1% of civilization type stuff. Your ancestors are proud and jealous that you’ve gotten this far.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

The gulf in knowledge between the West Coast and East Coast is wildly broader than I’ve ever experienced, in both directions. And widening further by the day.

[signüll @signulll]

there are likely ~100 ppl alive today that deeply understand all of these together: product instinct, what makes good software, design, technical depth, a real model of ai, the psychology of a single user, the shape of culture, team building, the ability to motivate, & the narrative gift to make any of this actually legible to normal peeps.

in consumer, where the tam is pretty much everyone, that combinatorial scarcity is the leverage.

~100 against 8 billion. pure asymmetry.

Truth, love, and beauty are all pursued for their own sake, even if they make us worse off.

@HardeepSPuri Amazing

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

The greatest lesson I learned from going to the Gurdwara: dignity of labor.

It shaped who I am.

[NASA @NASA]

This view just hits different 🌍

@Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.
