Today I am launching the Free Radicals podcast with @EricDai_BioE . Every Tuesday, we’ll be releasing long form conversations with the visionaries giving humanity control over biology and working to dramatically extend human lifespan.
We’re thrilled to host @celinehalioua, Founder + CEO @loyalfordogs, for our inaugural episode. Celine is building the world’s first lifespan extension drugs for dogs.

@dabkowski_piotr the convert/download page for @elevenlabs is kind of confusing (so many different popups). It would be a lot simpler if everything was flattened into a single inline view like this:
@TheEthanDing Senior engineers aren’t necessarily faster but almost certainly better at avoiding technology decisions that will slow down future development. It can take months to year to really feel the effects of tech debt.
@duolingo should build 1-1 video tutoring. Individual lessons could go for between $20-$30 an hour. Either as course alternatives to skip lessons or as checkpoints to fine tune pronouncation. Users who buy into lessons (at least 4 a month) would be worth 5x more.
Joining Contrary as a VP was the very first thing I did when I started my MBA at Wharton.
It also turned out to be the very best thing I did while in school.
For students (both undergrad and grad) who are interested in early-stage startups and ventures, this is for you.
@whrobbins Do you think network improvement is the differentiator between Vine and TikTok? It seems like a shift in the comfort/ease of individual content creation has been a primary driver for TikTok growth. I don’t see how average people will be able to participate in VR content creation.
@bramcohen Splines are cool because you approximate a function with a bunch of piecemeal polynomials of low degree but which form a continuous and smooth function overall. Still all polynomials. By angle is that slope or like for a step function?
