Simply sensational 💫

What a free-kick from Trent 🙌

Tidak, kami tidak hiperbolis.
Seumur-umur nonton Timnas main belum pernah melihat permainan Timnas dengan skill dan teknik yang di luar kebiasaan Timnas Indonesia.
Wajar kami terkesima karena standard kita belum pernah sebagus itu.
Apalagi di Level Asia!

120 minutes. Never stopped running. Chased every ball in midfield. Ran himself to the ground. And he’s now a champion.

Signing Wataru Endo was the best decision of the summer. 🇯🇵 ❤️ https://t.co/40uepJEMQW

If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, "intuitive" physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all by some denoising and gradient maths.

I won't be surprised if Sora is trained on lots of synthetic data using Unreal Engine 5. It has to be!

Let's breakdown the following video. Prompt: "Photorealistic closeup video of two pirate ships battling each other as they sail inside a cup of coffee."

- The simulator instantiates two exquisite 3D assets: pirate ships with different decorations. Sora has to solve text-to-3D implicitly in its latent space.
- The 3D objects are consistently animated as they sail and avoid each other's paths.
- Fluid dynamics of the coffee, even the foams that form around the ships. Fluid simulation is an entire sub-field of computer graphics, which traditionally requires very complex algorithms and equations.
- Photorealism, almost like rendering with raytracing.
- The simulator takes into account the small size of the cup compared to oceans, and applies tilt-shift photography to give a "minuscule" vibe.
- The semantics of the scene does not exist in the real world, but the engine still implements the correct physical rules that we expect.

Next up: add more modalities and conditioning, then we have a full data-driven UE that will replace all the hand-engineered graphics pipelines.

Sequoia Capital released a 52-page presentation warning founders of a 'crucible moment' and a 'longer recovery' ahead.

Here are the 10 key takeaways every business owner must know:

One way to think about the explosion of growth-stage capital from crossover investors over the past 2 years is that it was an arbitrage opportunity. They sought to capture the spread between public and private valuations. But the arb is gone now because of the growth stock crash.

An entire generation of entrepreneurs & tech investors built their entire perspectives on valuation during the second half of a 13-year amazing bull market run. The "unlearning" process could be painful, surprising, & unsettling to many. I anticipate denial. Some thoughts:

I angel invested in Fast's Series A in May 2020.

Some lessons learned that I hope are helpful for other angel investors.

Despite the slogan “ice cream of the future”, Dippin’ Dots went bankrupt in 2011.

After a savvy acquisition by an oil tycoon for ~$12M, they now do over $330,000,000 in revenue per year.

The crazy part? Most of the revenue isn’t from selling ice cream.

Here's the wild story 🧵
