founder, engineer, future king of the pirates. building @DigitalCarbonAI (YC S24)
SF & SEA
Joined July 2013
Excited to show what I've been building!.
YC S24's @DigitalCarbonAI transforms images and videos into photorealistic, editable 3D scenes. Create virtual home tours or show off products in 3D using just your phone — no special gear needed. Congrats on the launch, @CtrlGuruDelete + @LearnedVector!.

@AndrewYang @erickmsanchez I was there. Can confirm we definitely brought the most energy even though we didn't have the biggest crowd, because of limited seating apparently. Can't stop the #YangGang!.

Sharing a bit more about Reflect Orbital today. @4TristanS and I are developing a constellation of revolutionary satellites to sell sunlight to thousands of solar farms after dark. We think sunlight is the new oil and space is ready to support energy infrastructure. This

RLHF is a dead end to agi i think. i don't see how massaging the manifold to output human preferences will lead to higher level emergence of intelligence.

find her mode before you founder mode.
The older men I’ve met whom most would consider to have “made it” all say that they got there BECAUSE of their marriage. They say they couldn’t have done it without such stability and unconditional moral support.

Check out what my team has been up too 👀.
We just released our most accurate #speechrecognition model to date, v8, with up to 18.72% better accuracy across audio types and 24.47% better proper noun accuracy!. Check out the full post for more details 👉. #speechtotext #deeplearning.

@jbryanlarson @scottsantens He did answer you but you keep repeating the question. Yang is running on both. He even says UBI is not the cure all. He has 150+ policies to help millions of people. Universal Healthcare and UBI are one of his top priority.

What’s less well known is Apple literally have drones flyover large cities to create 3D models.of them.
Apple Maps 3d is insanely impressive now (see video below). Google on the other hand decided to build an insanely clunky solution to display 3d maps to avoid using mobile GPUs:. A Google server streams (!) a live video of its 3d rendered map to you, the result is a disastrous: a

If you think about, most value created by humans are done via inference not training. i.e. learn to code is training.building an app is inference. so it kinda make sense that scaling inference is what leads to AGI.

offering sacrifices to the CUDA gods — may the loss continue to drop and the NCCL errors steer clear 🙏 . this costs me ~$1k/day.

@yacineMTB CadQuery 100 open source. Built on opensource geometry kernels as well. Zoo dev is cloud sign in but proprietary but what they are doing is pretty cool.

Try running transformer on an early 2000s cpu or gpu. Would literally take ages for a single experiment. More compute unlocked faster experimentations.
Every time I learn more about ML & ai, it’s so simple and stupid. Like how did transformers take so long to figure out? Honestly no clue wtf the entire field was doing for 50 years. I see why the old guard is malding.

@yacineMTB CadQuery is in python or which build their own geometric kernels. Openscad kinda sucks don’t listen to the others.

It do feel like that sometimes.
In 2024 startup world, being an expert in AI with the credentials and years of practice to back it up feels like trying to sell genuine Louis Vuitton bags at the bazaar in Istanbul.

If you’re building in AI, your code’s basically disposable. Every few months, a new breakthrough flips the architecture, and you’re back to square one. Stay adaptable.

Holy shit, sooo unlucky. Car AC compressor went out in the middle of bum fuck Utah in 100 degree weather. Town's so small they don't have the parts to fix it. The closest big city is Salt Lake City, 150+ miles away. Fuck it, we march on!

Generative AI will make camera and microphone hardware obsolete. Use AI to synthetically enhance in real time data captured from cheap hardware.
Apple should either improve the built-in MacBook camera and microphone or release a professional grade version that "just works". Huge opportunity in a remote world.

A Bayesian would say 100% heads. A Frequentist would say 50% heads or tails. Which way anon
if I flip a coin 100 time and it lands heads every time, what will it most likely land on the next flip?.
