One of the greatest career hacks is to learn to find energy and enjoyment in positively contributing to outcomes rather than in the specific task needed to get there.

Aaron Levie is the CEO of Box and one of the world’s top experts on enterprise software, and how AI gets adopted in the real world. We sat down with Aaron Levie to discuss how 30% of the code at Box gets written with AI, transitioning SWEs from writing to reviewing code, and

Wild how complete the generated outdoor space is. The prompt image was just of the view looking out. Everything else was generated by the model. AI really is magic.

Hello world Unconventional, Inc. I’ve gotten a new company off the ground. It’s a big swing…rethinking the foundations of a computer to build a new substrate for intelligence that is as efficient as biology. Brain Scale Efficiency without the biological baggage! We CAN do it.

Efficient training of neural networks is difficult. Our second Connectionism post introduces Modular Manifolds, a theoretical step toward more stable and performant training by co-designing neural net optimizers with manifold constraints on weight matrices.

Sharing our second Connectionism research post on Modular Manifolds, a mathematical approach to refining training at each layer of the neural network

In addition to this being a great piece that’s important & timely to read, it’s been an absolute joy figuring out how to refactor the mighty a16z media machine so that we can say meaningful things, better and faster. Much, much more to come

"This is our wakeup call. The leadership of the United States has been bold in defining and defending the AI software stack; now in concert with its most relevant allies it must lay the groundwork for a defensible AI robotics stack. There is time, but not much. The most crucial

Total insanity. This is using an adaptive LOD scheme in sparksjs (not merged yet). The entire scene has 16million splats and this is real time navigation ... 😱😱

martin_casado I’m rendering 5M splats on an iphone 13 mini 🤯

Introducing Cursor Learn! My first course is a six-part video series on AI foundations. It's designed for beginners to learn concepts like tokens, context, and agents. If you prefer to read, there's quizzes + AI models to try out. You can watch it in ~1 hour, 100% free!

My consistent habit of type-os is my tax on pedants with mild OCD.

Read the substack in this thread. I have seen andreessen & horowitz podcast on this issue a few months ago. A16z team clearly gets it better than 99% of SV. I am going to have my own threads on this soon. I would like to separate industrial, home & humanoid robot though.

Highly recommend martin_casado and Anne Neuberger's essay on Robotics and China. It's not as long as it looks. Every policy maker in Washington needs to read it. We have created such a structural disadvantage vs China and time is running out to fix it.

I will have a series of X thread on all things robotics & machinery in China, but starting w/ industrial robot today. IFR recently showcased 2 important charts: 1) 43% of operational industrial robots are in China 2) Domestic suppliers had 57.6% mkt share in 2024, up from 32.3%

Most engineers don't yet understand (or see value) in coding with AI models, even if it might seem like everyone is doing it now. We're still so early. In the past few months, I've been surprised how many times I needed to explain what "context" was and how it relates to AI
