Perspective: Lithium we mine today and that we'll need to mine by 2050 compared to other major mined materials today like Iron, Aluminum, and Copper. Measured in kilotonnes. Great visual.

I see over 300 pre-seed decks a month. IMO these are the most useful, least useful, and slides you should delete from your Preseed deck. 🧵

Totally agree! It took me 15 years to embrace (and take care) of my Dominican curls 🥲
If as a child I tried to hide my origins as much as possible, now as an adult, the older I get, the more I want to look North African. Does this make sense? I think it is an inner struggle that only children of immigrants can understand

My only resolution for 2023 is to read more Vivian Gornick.

In order to understand why ChatGPT can't replace Google Search, it's useful to understand the early days of web search and the role that PageRank played. 1/n

Another RE record! Western Australia hit 84% renewable at 10.30am yesterday. Could possibly be the highest instantaneous wind solar penetration of any *isolated* GW scale in the world. Note that the average RE penetration over the last 12 months is much lower at 35% (1/2)

Born on this day in 1906, Grace Murray Hopper was a computer pioneer and naval officer. One of the first three modern “programmers,” Hopper is best known for her trailblazing contributions to the development of computer languages. #WomenInTech #ACM #HappyBirthday #Programmer #CS

Really miss when my twitter feed was only about books (old and new) and the occasional thread on startups 😪

Non riesco a smettere di pensare alla storia dell'uomo che si è salvato a Ischia, aggrappato per ore nel fango. Servono sistemi di early warning tempestivi, capillari e convincenti, ma serve anche qualcosa di più generale: decidere di imparare a sopravvivere al nostro territorio.

Curious to find out if people will take up blogging again once they decide to leave Twitter due to this whole Musk drama.

Whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, digital self-expression has become a basic need, but today’s social media are built to amplify only the performative aspect of this need.

Although I am saddened by what is happening to Twitter and its employees, I am also optimistic that this situation will challenge some talented individuals to create safer digital spaces for self-expression, critical thinking and well, just mindless fun.
If you work in VC, you need another job to keep up with what’s happening in VC

But really, you just need to become a better reader. Drama around big deals is the same story, just slightly different main character.
