Since it's YC interview season, I'm happy to help with a mock interview (I'm a W14 alum). (Just DM me your application and interview date. I'll be doing a few per week.)
For early arrivals to the Berkshire Hathaway AGM @VisitOmaha I'm pulling together a post-dinner Happy Hour in @OldMarketOmaha on Thursday, May 2nd from 20:30 CDT onward! Stop by if you can make it (update coming tomorrow with location). #BRK #BRK24 #BRK2024 #BerkshireHathaway
🚨 20 days left! 🚨 update! There's another ~$20M still left for grabs as we put $750k into a bunch of new startups over the next 20 days. So far we’ve have invested $10M in about a dozen startups focused on the intersection of TECH x GAMES. how to apply:…
Very entertaining watching @MartinShkreli take down the latest crypto scam in real time over the past two days
Watching the Stripe Sessions conversation between @collision and @arampell made me go dig up stats on how Target avoids interchange fees. 11% of their revenue flows through RedCard! I went to the 10Qs first, but then I found there was also an a16z blog post on it. Link below.
Just watched someone reading on their phone tap a banner ad in a news article. Absolute barbaric behavior.
You think housing prices will keep going up because you've seen it all your life. But this is a historic anomaly that is likely to reverse soon: Prices might start shrinking in many places. This thread is the case against investing in housing:

The Semis layer makes ~90% of all Gen AI profits today! Where does future value accrue and how do we get there? I explore where the $$ in Gen AI is today (semis), where it's headed (apps), and how it compares to prior tech breakthroughs.
I think this is true to a degree which few realize. Everyone needs to feel a sense of purpose through their own perception of their hero’s journey, and issues/conflicts will be manufactured to fill that vacuum if they don't otherwise exist.
Rahul is a great example of an entrepreneur, who takes his work seriously but doesn't take himself seriously. Worth a watch!

Very true in private markets too. Most of outperforming in early stage venture is just getting in front of whatever themes LPs want to allocate to. (Not all of it, but some.) I think this gets even more exacerbated going forward as late stage secondary markets get more liquid.

@ztownsend One once said to me, we want familiar with a twist. I think that's right. Wide variance in interpretation.

'Canada's population touched a record high of 40.77 million in 2023, largely driven by temporary immigration, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday. The country added 1.27 million people in 2023, up 3.2% from the previous year - marking the highest growth since 1957.'

Even including some suburbs and other cities in Jiangsu, the TFR of the larger Shanghai metropolitan area is now below the level of 1930s Vienna (slightly below 0.7) and can now be called the lowest fertility level ever measured in a major metropolitan area in history.
@evanjconrad Lots of these plays are predicated on M&A models, so there’s a strategic value to keeping it hush hush - limits the cost of initial acquisitions
@evanjconrad Yes, easier to tell this story to PE investors than VCs. I suspect VC will catch up but right now they are missing out. Better to build AI-powered software/workflows from within a functioning business. Then you can grow the business and potentially also sell the software later.
im surprised how few VCs seem to be aware of the “took an operationally intensive business and made it high margin and scaleable with llms” plays afaict they’re the largest category of llm uses that make money or have any traction
The number of VC-backed companies that get acquired is ~the same year over year But the total amount of value acquired changes a lot In down markets big deals just don't get done
