If you're 18-22 years old, consider applying for Works in Progress's summer school in August. It features @salonium @antonhowes @StuartJRitchie, and others, on topics like the causes of the Industrial Revolution and the dysfunctions of modern science. worksinprogress.news/p/apply-to-com…
This might be the best thing I've ever read about the economics of publishing. Brilliant, clear, important for everyone connected to the book industry to internalize: elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-…
Are you in a full-time job, but thinking about starting your own company? Maybe you would love to do it but there are some obstacles in your way: getting a great idea, a co-founder, and paying your bills in the meantime. Don’t get stuck here! I have something for you! (1/5)
Huge news from the @OchreBio team today. From meeting at @join_ef to this in just over four years is pretty astounding even by their very high standards. Congratulations @Jack_O_Meara and @QuinWills 👏 ft.com/content/3cd4fc…
Interesting notes
Alan Turing's 'Treatise on the Enigma' re-printed! An A4 size publication of about 150 pages, with a screw-bound vintage design, remastered and based on the original typewritten document by Turing. Take a look! Price: €45 kroneckerwallis.com/product/the-pr…
Well that was cool @reidhoffman, @Alicebentinck and @matthewclifford. You can check out who pitched at @join_ef’s Demo Day this week here bit.ly/4bkhj7d
@Alicebentinck @matthewclifford @join_ef Was a great event. Wrote some observations from the demo day, including broader positive implications of the best global technical talent continuing to move to the Bay Area. Do check it out when you get a chance operator.blog/2024/04/18/imm…
Which future do you prefer? Assume "AI" = powerful superhuman ASI. 1. AI centralized, controlled by either (a) a few big companies or (b) the government; all AI access goes through them 2. AI decentralized & unrestricted, society evolves 3. AI/powerful ML models banned
EF's latest Demo Day was in San Francisco - thanks to @amyrlewin for covering it in @Siftedeu! sifted.eu/articles/entre…
The single best interview with Zuck I've read. Might be the best interview with any business leader. From the inimitable @dwarkesh_sp ai.meta.com/blog/meta-llam…
EF's first SF Demo Day details were so on point, from founder pitches to even the swag bag and international treats 🌎🌍🌏 Btw, I thought @reidhoffman said "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late"... ;) Thanks for having us…
This is so good. Reminds me of about a million conversations I've had with early career people in Europe about why they aren't starting a company right now experimental-history.com/p/so-you-wanna…
Yesterday we ran our first Demo Day in San Francisco where our latest batch pitched to >100 of Silicon Valley’s top Partner-level investors. Today, you can learn more about these companies on our W’23 online Demo Day Portal. Check it out here: bit.ly/49bZVQl
