Great idea especially if you consider Prism ML x.com/PrismML/status/2059339… and prismml.com/ as a way to get "concentrated intelligence": very high, almost as good, performance as frontier models on phone hardware! I suspect a 50b-100b parameter model will run on an iPhone this year!

People replace their phones every ~4 yrs. This means there are hundreds of millions of old phones discarded each year that are still perfectly usable as computing devices. @Google in collabration with @UCSD is exploring how to turn these old phones into cloud-computing “phone clusters”. Putting phones back in service in this way can directly reduce the environmental footprint of computing by avoiding the need for further raw material extraction, and taking advantage of the embodied carbon already incurred from manufacturing these devices, and modern phones actually are already quite powerful computers.

Really important advice for aspiring founders to internalize: “The way to get the very best startup ideas is not to look for startup ideas. If you're consciously looking for startup ideas, it will make you too conservative. You'll lop off the outliers. Because the very best startup ideas tend to sound so lame, at first, that you'd reject them if you were consciously looking for startup ideas…” “…So how do you find startup ideas without looking for them? By working on projects with your friends. That's where the very best startups come from. Initially they're not even meant to be companies. They're just something people built because they thought it would be cool”

Continuing my search for underexplored & less crowded destinations…. We often celebrate Kerala’s backwaters. But on Karnataka’s coast is a hidden gem that deserves equal attention. The same river that roars over Jog Falls, the Sharavathi River, finally and quietly merges with the Arabian Sea at Honnavar. Again, not sure if these pics are enhanced, but it’s clear that Honnavar is a magical landscape. Mangrove forests, winding waterways and mirror-like backwaters. Since Mangroves are among nature’s most effective coastal defenders, Honnavar’s beauty is matched by its ecological significance. #SundayWanderer (Photos courtesy: @IndiaAesthetica )

The stupidity of these @Stanford students to take the greatest opportunity for equality in humanity ever and to really free humanity and go walk out on @google and @sundarpichai that's pioneered that. Biased, idiotic, short-sighted and very selfish. Selfish because they ignored the bottom 3 billion people on this planet vs. the few million Palestinians who I also support. Get real! youtube.com/watch?v=wf74VXKT…

Second-time founders are my favorite category of founders. > No deck until someone asks 3 times. > Distribution before product. > Customer calls before investor calls. > Doesn't confuse fundraising with success. > Answers every customer email. > Ships boring things that work. > Sleeps more than first-time founders. > Raises less money. > Makes more money. > Is weirdly calm all the time. The first startup teaches you how to build. The second teaches you what not to build.

SF startups don’t win just because of talent and capital density. Startups are sacrifice. They require obsession and a high tolerance for pain. The people most willing to make that trade self-select into SF, the same way serious actors move to Hollywood. That makes the place self-fulfilling. Great companies can be built anywhere. I’m an investor in many in Seattle. But after splitting time between Seattle and SF for several months, I think every serious founder has to ask early on: what am I willing to sacrifice to make this work? Founders who move to SF have already asked and answered that question. That is the true advantage.

Diana Hu just became the latest managing partner at Y Combinator... She got there from the Atacama Desert in Chile, one of the driest places on Earth, so remote that NASA uses it to test Mars rovers. Her family was the only Chinese family within a 300-mile radius, which meant she spent most of her childhood as the obvious outsider, escaping into books, cosmology, and a deep curiosity about how things actually work. That curiosity turned out to be the whole engine, because when her parents won the US family visa lottery and moved the family over when she was 16, she crunched from basic algebra all the way to calculus in a single year to catch up, learned English in ESL classes she was still taking once she got to college, and then went on to study computer vision and machine learning at Carnegie Mellon anyway. From there she built her technical foundation fast, doing data science at OnCue before Verizon bought it, ML research at Intel Labs, and then co-founding Escher Reality as CTO, an AR-backend that went through YC's S17 batch and got acquired by Niantic in 2018 in (one of the fastest acquisitions in YC history!). At Niantic she ran the AR Platform team and the 100M people playing Pokémon GO, so she has both experience, building a startup from zero and then shipping technology at planetary scale. I think that combination is exactly what makes her super dangerous as a partner. She came back to YC in 2021 as a Visiting Group Partner, joined full-time in 2022, and in 4 years has worked with nearly 230 companies across 18 batches, logged over 2,100 office hours, and watched those companies grow to a combined $7B in value while backing AI and hard tech breakouts like Reducto, David AI, Stepful, and HappyRobot. Pair this with Harshita Arora becoming the youngest GP this year and the pattern gets hard to ignore, because YC is increasingly being run by the founders it created, where the alums become the partners who back the next batch whose founders become the next partners, and every person tightening that loop has actually sat in the founder's chair and built something real. Congrats, Diana (@sdianahu). Well deserved!!

Nunca dejes que las burlas de los demás detengan tus metas. Cuando propuse que el Hospital Rosales, que en ese momento era el peor hospital del país, se convirtiera en el mejor de Centroamérica, hasta mis propios ministros se rieron. Imaginen lo que decían la oposición y los incrédulos. Pero yo sabía que, con esfuerzo, disciplina y sin mirar hacia atrás ni hacia los lados, se podía lograr. Y lo logramos. Hoy, el Hospital Rosales es el mejor hospital de Centroamérica, público o privado. Cuenta con todas las especialidades médicas, el equipamiento más avanzado del mundo, 200 especialistas extranjeros y 3,000 salvadoreños listos para atender cualquier enfermedad de forma gratuita. El siguiente paso es que más hospitales de nuestro país alcancen ese nivel. Pronto tendremos otra sorpresa. Primero Dios.
