In addition to everything you mentioned @dens, please factor in that you inspired a whole generation of entrepreneurs (including me) by showing them that: - you can build a cool startup from NYC - you can build something fun and that you care about - you can persevere & stick to trying to build what you're excited about no matter what (it's the journey, not the destination!) Thank you Dennis & team!
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

It’s feeling really magical inside of Shopify right now. It’s clearly the greatest time in the history of tech industry right now. I hope it feels similar everywhere else.

This needs to be a special trick in THPS26, ankleslide.

Chaotic Vibe didn’t work AI Engineered will.
JUST IN: Ford rehires more than 300 veteran human engineers after it says AI failed to deliver the same level of expertise.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Make Canada too business friendly to ignore. Especially for our own most capable.
Canada's startup exodus is accelerating. Nearly one of every two Canadian founders who raised over $1 million in 2024 are now based in the U.S. That's up from about one in five just a short time ago.

Well it looks like isolation might work out after all, if you have limitless energy.
Radiant is the first nuclear startup to generate electric power!😉 Check out our Turbine-Alternator-Compressor: Using nuclear reactor heat, it can generate over 1.25MW. Using a drill, just a tiny light blinks...but everything begins with first light! Merry Christmas to all!

Now that’s some major shit everybody should be aware of!
Wonderful news. 🌟💫✨ Our two new VASCO papers are now peer-reviewed, accepted and published — and they reveal some extraordinary things: - We find statistically significant correlations between short-lived transients on pre-Sputnik sky plates, UFO sightings, and above-ground nuclear tests. - We show a 22σ deficit of transients inside Earth’s shadow — consistent with a fraction of these events originating from solar reflections from flat, highly reflective surfaces in orbit before the human Space Age began. Together with our earlier MNRAS paper, these results form a triptych of new methods to investigate UAP using astronomical data. Three independent high-level journals — and three independent peer review processes. These latest results raise a bold question. And yes… you know which.

What's really going on in machine learning? Just finished a deep dive using (new) minimal models. Seems like ML is basically about fitting together lumps of computational irreducibility ... with important potential implications for science of ML, and future tech... writings.stephenwolfram.com/…
