One of the core problems with social/work spaces in NYC is curation. WeWork and Soho House, among others, don't properly select for stage, value alignment, and trajectory...
Announcing Contrary NYC: a creative workspace for the top technologists in the city
The next Xerox PARC won’t be built over zoom.
Today, we're excited to unveil Contrary NYC – a creative workspace for the city’s top builders and technologists, located in the heart of Flatiron.

Couldn't agree more. Co-living has completely changed the trajectory of my life. So many friendships, memories, and opportunities unlocked by being surrounded by incredible like-minded people.
If you're looking to join a co-living house NYC, happy to support. Dm's open.
Startup/tech co-living was crucial in helping me get started.
I couldn’t recommend it enough for any young technologists, flaws and all.
If you’re interested and don’t know where to start, shoot me a dm.

I will personally hand deliver a 4090 to you if you can solve this. Warning you though, it's hard. 99% probably can't.
We just hit 4.090 billion total requests on Runpod 🤯
To celebrate, we're giving away 2 RTX 4090s to folks who can solve our virtual scavenger hunt

NFTs for YouTube Videos👇
Creator: lacks funds, raises money from fans with NFT for new yt video
Fans: get X% of all future revenue on that video
Incentives align -> fans actively blow the video up to make $$$, creator makes great content & grows their channels in the process

All great companies are an amalgamation of thousands of tedious small actions performed in succession.
I'll occasionally get frustrated when having to do tedious small tasks knowing I could be working on more meaningful things - then remember even Steve Jobs had to write emails.

I just paid $169 for a 2hr Uber, and the driver made $96. Minus gas & vehicle cost, driver takes home ~$15/hr. Uber, on the other hand, takes a 43% commission for facilitating a transaction. That can’t be right.

AI infrastructure is undoubtedly the best space to be in right now. Once you understand this chart, everything clicks.
The market will lift all boats. Even mediocre GPU infra companies will crush it over the next few years

I didn’t live through the tech crash of 2000’, but I think the bull case for the internet was greater than the bull case for web3.
This is easy to say in retrospect - I’m sure it would have been harder to sustain belief back then, but I’m not convinced web3 is the new internet.

Imo information distribution (internet) is more compelling than information integrity (web3).

Information asynchrony (i.e. lying/concealing) gives short-term leverage, but the EV decreases logarithmically as time increases.
With a 1% failure rate per interaction (i.e. the likelihood of a negative outcome from lying/concealing), you quickly get an EV chart like this:

everyone's sleeping on 4090s. they're 1.5-3x more cost-effective than A100s for serving inference on smaller models like mistral 7B.
1.5B - 18B model performance will improve a lot over the next few months. huge demand for 4090s incoming

The most influential people in history were light eaters. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Thomas Edison, Vladimir Putin, Steve Jobs, Napoleon, etc.
I on the other hand eat a lot. Going to start fasting from wake until 6pm daily. Will report results.

A platform that makes launching creator NFTs easy, whether it be for...
Videos: creator releases a fixed number of tokens for a video (pre-publishing) to raise money for production
Art: creator makes artwork and releases that as NFT (logan paul)
... Could be 1B+ within 5 years
Logan Paul made $3,540,456 in 1 day.
• Dropped the 1st Logan Paul NFT yesterday
• 3000 NFTs available
• Price: 1 ETH per NFT (1 ETH = $1998 rn)
• Sold 1772 NFTs so far
• $1M in sales in first 30 min
• 3 buyers will win 1st Edition Pokemon Pack (~$40K)

Instead of asking “what are you most insecure about” -> ask “what are you least insecure about”
People feel comfortable talking about things that don’t make them insecure and that often says a lot about out them

Harder for me to drink the web3 koolaid given its extreme coupling with crypto markets.
This rise is liquidity creates a perverse incentive to shill web3 & the potential it has, whereas the internet bull case was (seemingly) less coupled to financial incentives.

Creators had to bring their followers off platform.

At the core of technology is a powerful strive for optimization and order, yet this can lead people to horrible evil doings (ex: Germany WW2).
It’s important that our understanding of “good” & “virtuousness” is not lost in the process.

In addition, seed stage “exits” are very small relative to Series D+. These are very rough estimations (didn’t find data online), but let’s assume average exits are as follows:
Seed -> 1M
A -> 5M
B -> 40M
C -> 120M
D -> 400M
