Reading about Cursor being anti database does make me smirk. We often use GPUs like a “math co-processor”. Now I’m reminded of Sierra games on the 386 as a child.

There should be a ban on anyone renaming a common terminal command with a component of branding. No kore adding one to two characters to make your system special. It’s not branding, it just annoys the heck out of people that code.

Why can I not code atomic methods in CUDA without thinking of Eminence in Shadows “I AM ATOMIC!”

Watching AI at Meta adding researchers is entertaining. Nice part about working on spiking neural networks, spatial-temporal dynamics, AI memory, and causal is that we don’t have to play in the transformer race. Evolving algorithms are going to win in the end.

With all the Soham memes going around I want to use the algo to remind people that we’re hiring on-site in San Francisco across pretty much every engineering role.

As we scale the number of pre 8 AM internal meetings compounds as it’s the only time that’s left.

Any founder that willfully betrays a large section of their staff in an acquisition move, especially one that isn’t literally forced by a majority of preferred shareholders or private equity, isn’t a Silicon Valley founder but is a scab. Equity is how you create

Jordi Hays As I feared. What an absolute betrayal of Silicon Valley principles and the common pool. The image it brings forth is that of a villain in a film. One that separates off the rear of a locomotive train that is full of civilians. Just so he can speed up the engine full of money

We’re hiring a ton of roles at Alembic . If you were on Windsurf’s staff that got left in the dust send me a DM. I promise you’ll have to have security physically drag me out of the building before I’d allow a deal that didn’t treat all our staff equally by their share count.

One of the interesting things with LLM tools when working on a Python & C++ / CUDA stack where you write the actual C++ and kernels. It automatically assumes that you don’t have access to the C++ and are using packages. This is even when you have it in the same repo. Since I

The saddest parfait I have ever seen. One entire quart of yogurt, a crumpled up granola bar, and a smattering of berries. Hardrock_Hotels

The job of a startup is to find undiscovered talent and distill it into a product.

Quote of the day: I certainly don't agree that machines which can solve IMO problems will be useful for mathematicians doing research, in the same way that when I arrived in Cambridge UK as an undergraduate clutching my IMO gold medal I was in no position to help any of the

So true. Windsurf and others are really bad examples of founders leaving their teams behind and not even sharing the proceeds with their team. I definitely would not work with their founders next time.

Product market fit in enterprise can be measured in number of mandatory founder red eye flights. 😭😭😭

What a gorgeous place to have breakfast. #JapanVacation

Tokyo Disney architecture > Orange County. Orange County logistics and distances > Tokyo Rides are =

I see a lot of people confused by the DGX Spark. The machine, to my understanding, was for those of us that have large DGX systems that need research development boxes. I need to match my infrastructure and have my science team not blow the breakers at the office. I don’t want to
