WOW! This is the view from the The George Washington bridge running from Manhattan, New York to New Jersey.

- This is all stemming from Central Canada, where wildfires are burning in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

- In total there are 211 reported wildfires burning in these two provinces, with 145 of them considered "out of control".

- These fires started because of unseasonable hot and dry conditions, and have already forced 10,000 residents to evacuate their homes in Quebec.

I think what this shows us is how fragile and interconnected the entire world really is environmentally.

An event that takes place in another country can have major impacts and implications on our own. We are all in this thing together. Let's get along and work together to figure things out. The environment is a great place to start.

Wife went to the salon in town today - found out they have a nurse practitioner on staff

NP provides three services:

- IV fluids
- Prescribes Ozempic
- Injects Botox

What an incredible racket. Just strip-mining the wallets of suburban anxiety

Watching @karpathy presentation from today and taking twitter notes, come along for the ride:

If you're like only the practical tips, skip to #32

@karpathy starts with stages:
1 - Pre-training - months x thousands of GPUs
2, 3, 4 - Finetuning stages that take hours or days

If I was starting another company, I would build a generative AI app that put my friends and me in photos doing fun things. Aside from network effects, one of the fundamental moats of social apps is having an inventory of content—because producing content is so onerous.

This is quite the paper!

It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town.

Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. https://t.co/G7oJW1S3na

Today is the spring equinox, but what actually is an equinox?

It's one of only two times in the year when day and night are (almost) exactly equal all over the world...

1/ How to accelerate revenue growth at your early stage startup:

I’ve worked with countless early stage startups through consulting (n = 15), angel investing (n = 25), and now as a VC (n = >100). It’s almost universal the primary bottleneck to revenue growth is demand gen.

Just a guy with 39 successful combat flight missions on his resume about to dig in with a machine gunner at Omaha Beach on D-Day behind the plate. Two goddamn men.

This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)

ML engineering productivity hack: write small self-contained files testing your understanding of any semantics you're fuzzy about (e.g. how CUDA streams interact with a full CUDA queue). Goal should be to turn these semantics into "muscle memory" before working end-to-end.
