I've said it a hundred times but I’ll keep saying it: AI adoption and behavior change are slow — and will stay slow — no matter how fast capabilities improve. The stat in the screenshot is worth pondering: nearly a year after the release of "thinking" models, only a tiny fraction

For PhD students in my network, NVIDIA is now accepting applications for our graduate fellowship program. If you are working on topics across AI, life sciences, healthcare and HPC - consider applying. blogs.nvidia.com/blog/applicati…

The distribution of ~ 2 trillion immune cells in the human body.

Remarkable that US spending on pharmaceuticals is just ~1.6% of GDP. Amazingly good value for money considering the welfare gains. (And especially given the extent to which the US subsidizes the rest of the world.)

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be.

David Baltimore, the scientist behind the discovery of reverse transcriptase and “blowing up” the central dogma passed away yesterday. It’s hard to imagine many modern labs that don’t run on his discovery. His legacy will continue on through our experiments.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

[Warning: Non-real estate post] At this truly awful moment, would ask everyone to keep in mind that our adversaries are actively working, here and on other social media platforms, to further inflame the political divisions in our society. You *definitely* should not assume that

Free speech means defending the rights of those to speak with whom you disagree. Sometimes you may even hate what they’re saying. That’s why the 1st amendment to the US constitution was such a powerful political innovation

Weird seeing people who are supposedly champions of startups and Little Tech cheer on the introduction of a $100k for H-1Bs given it’ll immediately be cost prohibitive for early-stage startups to hire from that very talented pool. Big Tech can absorb the fees, startups can’t.

US TECH DOMINANCE TAKES A MASSIVE HIT Imposing a $100K H1-B fee per year will kill skilled US immigration to America. This fee will also be applied to immigrants graduating from US universities and seeking jobs. This will have a domino effect, causing the US to lose it's tech

Indian H1Bs contributed an unfathomable amount to America: 100s of billions in taxes, 10s of billions more in fees, trillions in services. Among the most peaceful, intelligent, interesting people to grace our shores. And what do we give back? Demonization & discrimination...

We should be giving FREE “Golden Science Visas” to every smart AI researcher, biologists, mathematicians, materials scientists, physicists, and all other top scientists. And their families. Even if they don’t apply. We need the best and brightest in USA.

It would be really funny were it not so depressing when nativists use Bell Labs, Manhattan Project, and Moon landing as example of what can be achieved *without* immigrant scientists and researchers. Bell Labs was *literally* founded by an immigrant (Alexander Graham Bell), a

Got flooded with “go back to your country” and “America doesn’t need you” on my H-1B tweet. America is 4.1% of the world. Even if Americans were 10X more likely to be geniuses, 70% would still be born elsewhere. Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and Sergey Brin weren’t born American.

Not going to comment on the specifics of the H-1B policies right now since they’re all up in the air anyway. I’d hope that we continue to do everything that we can to get the best and brightest to America, which makes us more competitive in critical fields of the future like AI,

You know they didn't "work on H1-B politics for 30 year" when they mispell the visa as H1-B instead of the correct H-1B.

Another day, another IPO. We're proud to unveil the pending public offering of Civilization VC portfolio company BillionToOne, a diagnostics rocketship. 🚀🧬 We were the first check into the company in 2017 - and I believe the only #lifesciences #healthtech #biotech

Excited to release BoltzGen which brings SOTA folding performance to binder design! The best part of this project has been collaborating with many leading biologists who tested BoltzGen at an unprecedented scale, showing success on many novel targets and pushing its limits! 🧵..
