Excited to share Memorilla! Incredible to see @adibvafa @Radii2323 @kvignesh1420 carry this through
A new way of looking at memory, as a separate modality
I worked on initial experiments with RL: can we learn how to better use past experiences by interacting with the world? 🧵
🦍 Introducing Memorilla: memory as a modality for LLMs
Memorilla turns everything a frozen LLM needs to remember into just 16 memory embeddings
⚡ It uses up to 4,212× fewer tokens and is 27× faster than full context inference while more accurate
🎯 Pushes the Pareto frontier over RAG and agentic memory in personalization, long-document and knowledge QA
A thread 🧵:

personal ai's saturating the internet will lead to an acceleration in the shift to the dark forest economy
when everyone's personal ai is fighting for a Carbone res / Odyssey tickets, the alpha will go back to irl
> members clubs are a good v1 as tiktok / social media ruined public spaces
imagine this dynamic but for large portions of economic activity that was previously mediated by the internet
firmly in the "i know a guy" era
which room are you in?

Introducing Castle
A company, today, is an unintentional wrapper of macro events: an airline is an embedded oil trade, a solar developer is a tax-credit bet, and a data center is a wager on permits clearing before a moratorium lands. These exposures are intangible, lack historical data, and, therefore, remain unprotected on corporate balance sheets.
On the other hand, there are players who actively seek this risk. As quantitative traders, we modeled these events, and we craved more avenues to express our opinions and to provide liquidity.
Castle exists to bridge this gap. We leverage markets and models to cover the risks that insurers won’t, enabling businesses to focus solely on their execution.
Read about one of our recent trades, in collaboration with our friends at Susquehanna and @Kalshi , as a CNBC exclusive linked below.
We were quants, engineers, and hedge fund managers. Now, our Mission is to reprice one of the world’s oldest and largest markets.

the greatest innovation in investing of the past decade has been the emergence and outperformance of crossovers
while people deride the fomo investing / price inelastic nature of their investing, there is a better game afoot
if you view the private book as proprietary information flow to better position the public book, the picture becomes clearer
like yeah - loss ratio is 99%
"(INSERT FUND) is the next Tiger Global"
but the math actually papers out: if one private co becomes a hectacorn which returns the fund and all the proprietary info flows into the public book and nets 30% IRRs, you would take that all day
why do you think the private returns are so bad compared to NASDAQ???
commoditizing your complement comes to investing

Super fun to work on this project with @nick_bray and @BraceSproul!
We built a synthetic environment generator to create difficult/complex evals for LangSmith Engine across a variety of domains, tasks, and agent issue types.
Exciting stuff @LangChain

Why stop at banning waymo. We should ban washing machines. Every streetlight should be replaced by a city employee with colored paddles to direct traffic. Instead of refrigerators people should sell ice, like in the good old days. All goods should be made by hand.
NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work.
When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by.
This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Waymo data (170M+ miles) shows a 92% reduction in serious injury/fatal crashes vs human drivers. While the post claims 2M jobs will be lost, BLS projections show transportation sector growth. Safety tech historically shifts labor roles rather than eliminating total employment

The Odyssey is one of the greatest works of literature in history. As a lover of Western Civilization -- and as the proud son of a Greek immigrant -- I denounce Nolan's sacrilege in perverting this great epic with DEI & trans lunacy. Shame on him & shame on Hollywood.

The “you can’t earn a billion dollars” argument always comes from people who still think economic value is tied directly to labor hours, like we’re living in 1820 🤣
No, someone is not manually “working” a billion dollars into existence. They build a system, platform, network, or product used by hundreds of millions of people, and they own part of the upside. So if a company creates $200B of economic value globally and the founder captures 1% of it, what is wrong with it ?
And the funniest part is pretending consumers have no agency. Apparently hundreds of millions of people voluntarily using a product is now just “a myth” people were manipulated into.
