@tymek_st Best coffee place near YC that actually opens early.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

@heyclicky At least you’ve got a chair.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

Highly recommend! @slashslashdev will also be giving free front split classes in my absence.

Punk software hack night tonight, 5pm-late! The theme is "no claude" - how can you move your workflow or memory off Claude (onto open models?) Or make "poisoned benchmarks" that are worse on Claude?

Or just code up something by hand like we used to https://t.co/L53uY0F4n0

@paulg @garrytan What should the “less serious” ones do until they get serious enough?
Watch YC videos and learn on their own?

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

@ArtinBogdanov @sunapp_ai @OpenAI @gethuxe Haha. That’s the exact use case you were telling me about 3 weeks ago. Seems sus 😁

@elonmusk The paperclip was example is always on the back of my mind.
The book was what got me into AI around that time 😁

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

@newworldkhaled Heard this from some cool founders in SF.
In the end the best products win.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

I feel like some models will start specialising based on the training data available and company missions.

Claude for coding, Grok for engineering, GPT for consumer…

Maybe focus is still needed and one cannot rule all domains.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

SpaceX’s massive corpus of world-class engineering data (excluding material blocked by ITAR) will be added during supplemental training of the 2T run.

This will dramatically improve Grok’s engineering capabilities.

@slashslashdev Awesome! I will dm you

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

Building a product for people who stutter and/or have speech anxiety.

Dm me for early access.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

When you do a startup you can either ride the trend others believe in or throw a rock and hope to create a new wave.

At least that’s @ArtinBogdanov ‘s motivation for building.

Swung by to say hi but ended up having a 4 hour philosophical discussion and staying for dinner with his wife.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

@slashslashdev Perfect! I was trying to find my niche.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

Which is harder?

Getting into YC or getting to a full split?

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

@elonmusk @beffjezos Use the (more) abundant energy to gather mass outside of the solar system.

Wo-hooo! The next ladder in our galactic expansion.

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

Hey @heyclicky, I met your parents.

Suuuper wholesome team! I'm sure they'll take care of you.

Glad I had some Bulgarian 🇧🇬 candy in my backpack to fuel them up :)

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

Noo, don’t save my streaks… i don’t want it anymore

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

I’ve had enough!
1999 days on Duolingo didn’t help me learn Japanese, so I’ll learn it by myself (+LLMs).

Just pitched at @imbue_ai punk hack.

Flipping the bird to the bird by dropping my streak tonight and continuing on my own.

Join me!

[Chris Vachev @VachevK]

For me the day is between I wake up and go to bed, not at 00:00.
So I have the freedom to habit stack the language learning before bed.
Small wins.
