Thrilled to announce @nvidia Tesseract, our next generation foundation model for time series based anomaly detection: developer.nvidia.com/blog/ne…

Evergreen life tip: always treat people who argue in bad faith (stated versus revealed preferences) with the highest level of contempt possible. This is a great example, but this applies to all spheres of private and public life. Never trust people like this.

Which is why we should avoid putting people through the humiliation rituals known as on call rotations where you have to sleep next to a pager 7 nights in a row.

Raises 10M on idea, stuffs money into tbills, counts the interest as ARR in the investor update.

How do you take risks on products or ideas that may or may not work in a quarterly "battle royale, but for your job" environment? I would love to believe cuts target low agency people that have been mailing it in, coasting, or publishing "life of XXX where they clock in at 10, do 45 min of work, and mess around the rest of the day". But most companies have already cut all the ppl like that over the past 3 years. I don't know anyone coasting. So who does this target? People who speak up? If you've already cut all the teams working on zombie products, eliminated all the support roles, and removed the obvious troublemakers - you now are just targeting people on the wrong side of the most recent game of corporate Game of Thrones? Name one new invention of substance made by teams operating in a culture of fear. Not saying it's not possible. I just can't think of one.

How do you know a stove is hot? You know it in the abstract if you read a book about stoves being hot. You know it viscerally if you've touched a hot stove.

Gotta say, my brain works much better on 8 hours of regular, natural sleep.

Average day on LinkedIn

In the set of pics, this one did the best to capture the look of the time

My dad, from pictures in the 80s, showing you can just do things, even then

Two drinks at dinner last night, not even heavy cocktails (one spritz like thing and one beer), and feeling hung over. Was this process fun earlier in life? Something happens when you start only drinking occasionally when even those few occasions feel underwhelming, like the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Every time someone tries to ask "do AI agents really work", I encourage them to book a Waymo

Nothing worse than seeing some software engineer who has spent the last 20 years automating other people's jobs go full green banner AI hater on LinkedIn and complain about AI taking their job away.

AI Agents are the first kind of software that you should expect to improve with use. Think like an intern pool that when it learns, the learning applies to the entire class. I don't think this gets discussed enough.

This morning at Retool Summit, we introduced application generation in Retool — where, for the first time, you can generate apps on top of your data (e.g. Salesforce, postgres, etc.) using natural language. Type what you want -> Have a working, production-ready app.

Loving the ad free experience of using @comet, which I use with uBlock (not origin), and now finally can read sites without the constant "click me, click me" BS.

My god Comet is really good

I had an intern start to call himself Principal Intern and just kinda decided to go along with it

We're getting text to 30 min commercial now. Imagine having Cartman sell Tylenol

Details around the next iteration of @NVIDIA Tesseract, our time series transformer model. Not nearly as exciting as LLMs, but have applications in dozens of domains, especially industrial, where you need anomaly detection and categorization based on knowable patterns in data.
