One of Jessica's favorite pictures: my high school chess club. I'm standing on the left. One of these guys went on to become a professional chess player. (The one looking at the board instead of the camera.)
It's been a week since LLaMA 3 dropped. In that time, we've: - extended context from 8K -> 128K - trained multiple ridiculously performant fine-tunes - got inference working at 800+ tokens/second If Meta keeps releasing OSS models, closed providers won't be able to compete.
I am surprised nobody has done a documentary on YC and the founders in it for a given batch interspersing moments of its history + greatest companies. It’d be so fun to watch what it REALLY is like so the world better understood.
Last week, I co-hosted my first event in San Francisco and the energy was 🔥 Picture a room full of @ycombinator W24 founders and top-tier investors at the frontier of building and investing in the next generation of SUPERPOWERS which will inevitably uplift the rest of the…

The purpose of the system is what it does So if what it does is not what you want, you must take action to change the system instead of defending the stated purpose
At YC, we work with founders throughout the life of their startup and beyond, to build the world-changing companies of the future. And we'd love to work with you. The deadline to apply for YC Summer 2024 is Monday, April 22 at 8pm PDT — apply today at ycombinator.com/apply.
a sign of good design is when your framework gets increasingly written in itself over time
41% of recent YC founders worked at a YC company as employees before starting their own company. We only learned this stat recently and even we were surprised it was so high.
Great men are called upon by history when they see dangerous times ahead; this is one of those times. And despite our immense challenges, I am feeling optimistic, as I see friends heed the call. We have nowhere to run; the United States of America is where we make our stand.

🥁 Llama3 is out 🥁 8B and 70B models available today. 8k context length. Trained with 15 trillion tokens on a custom-built 24k GPU cluster. Great performance on various benchmarks, with Llam3-8B doing better than Llama2-70B in some cases. More versions are coming over the next…
The 2024 Federal Budget rolled out by the Government of Canada yesterday was disappointing, and needs to be reconsidered if we want Canada’s innovation ecosystem to thrive. 1/13
I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 I live in Canada I build businesses in Canada that have created thousands of jobs Love this country but my next company will probably not be Canadian This is the impact of poor economic policy Heartbreaking

Anyone tempted to buy in to the argument that the capital gains tax proposal will only affect the top 1%, my friend @andrewtgraham (who fights every day to create abundance for the 99%) explained it well: “ Very few people win the lottery. But you can be certain that if the size…
