Thiel's Closing Thoughts (CS183: Startup)

There is something importantly singular about each new thing in the world. There is a mini singularity whenever you start a company or make a key life decision. In a very real sense, the life of every person is a singularity.

The obvious question is what you should do with your singularity. The obvious answer, unfortunately, has been to follow the well-trodden path. You are constantly encouraged to play it safe and be conventional.

The future, we are told, is just probabilities and statistics. You are a statistic.

By their nature, singular events are hard to teach or generalize about. But the big secret is that there are many secrets left to uncover. There are still many large white spaces on the map of human knowledge. You can go discover them. So do it.

Get out there and fill in the blank spaces. Every single moment is a possibility to go to these new places and explore them.

There is perhaps no specific time that is necessarily right to start your company or start your life. But some times and some moments seem more auspicious than others.

Now is such a moment. If we don’t take charge and usher in the future—if you don’t take charge of your life—there is the sense that no one else will.

So go find a frontier and go for it. Choose to do something important and different. Don’t be deterred by notions of luck, impossibility, or futility. Use your power to shape your own life and go and do new things.

@zetalyrae I believe if you prepend the prompt with a ! It generates an image with the prompt.

@srush_nlp @tqchenml Anyone know where I can register for the public online version of the course? (Need an account for the autograder)

Differential equations, differential equations everywhere.

@gabrielpeyre This choice makes sense because reverse-mode AD is slightly more efficient when mapping Rn -> Rm where n >> m. In Machine Learning, we are trying to find low rank (m-dimensional) sub spaces for optimally embedding (essentially compressesing) our n-dimensional datasets.

this is wild — kNN using a gzip-based distance metric outperforms BERT and other neural methods for OOD sentence classification

intuition: 2 texts similar if cat-ing one to the other barely increases gzip size

no training, no tuning, no params — this is the entire algorithm:

“The ubermensch is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the ubermensch shall be the meaning of the earth...

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the ubermensch...

what is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end."

@quant_arb Also, Mara Bos has a book on Atomics & Locks in Rust -- can be useful in concurrent, perf-critical settings (available for free online @ https://t.co/v2Jvs1jUPr)

[Nicholi @nicholicaron]

@quant_arb Jon's "Crust of Rust" series is a great companion for the book, especially for those who learn better from videos (https://t.co/KGbnO33G0w)
