spoke to a VP Sales last week
she said "i know our win rate. i have no idea why it isn't higher"
the answer is always in the calls
rep who closes at 34% does something different at minute 8 than the one closing at 19%

I think about this a lot.
For the past 6 months, I’ve been booting up IntelliJ daily on a 36GB RAM / 1TB SSD MacBook Pro, and it still cries for help when I just want to write Kotlin.
Meanwhile, in 1969, this much hardware was enough for multi-planet space infra.

Tonight will be long, but by dawn, we shall lay a stepping stone for the new (yet ancient) map of India.

@oyehimanshoo This is infinite recursion though.
You need to set a base condition for both, success and failure.

I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.

I think decentralisation is much beyond selling and purchasing PnC of ape faces (I do consider them as a form of digital art though).

Career in research might not be rewarding monetarily. But for humanity it does.
Entrepreneurship is rewarding monetarily but, it may/may not be for humanity.

I love Twitter. But the sheer noise of people re-tweeting same things, liking things which ar not very useful to me and in turn filling my feed with the things I don't like makes me feel distracted, lost and peeved.
PS: the problem isn't the users rather the algorithm.
