Why @optimum, why?

@ericries The Lean Startup had a profound effect on Noom — wouldn’t be nearly as successful without it. But I think this is arguably an even more important book that you’ve written. On Chapter 5 and loving it. DM me if you want to connect, I’m a long term fan.

This kind of stuff is cool and better than grep imo… x.com/dhravyashah/st… , but it feels like the real power will come when model providers have a more native model and use RL (and other methods) to train the model to use it properly… you need to learn to use agentic memory, otherwise if your grep is suddenly fuzzy grep, I doubt it will be optimal. Also imo associative memory is where it’s at, where if you recall two concepts together enough (including during dream consolidation routines), they start auto-retrieving… collaborative filtering for memory or something like it! Surprised model providers haven’t gone there yet, and I hope they will soon… knowledge workers can’t just get by with grep + md files forever.

Introducing SMFS: The new Supermemory Filesystem. Supermemory did Memory. And then RAG, and then extractors and connectors. Now, we also have a new filesystem primitive: SMFS.ai

@AngusWLChisholm @cannodable @pranavmishra28 @PeterDiamandis @elonmusk Because atmosphere & clouds can absorb and block sunlight, so you don’t get as much energy as you would with microwave transmission (see screenshot). A lot of smart people believe this is the best way, so while debatable on specifics, it’s not just a dumb idea you can dismiss.

@AngusWLChisholm @pranavmishra28 @PeterDiamandis @elonmusk I used to not believe it was possible, but do a google search! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-bas…

@bryan_johnson 1) 🥳 2) how does it compare with function in terms of comprehensiveness? 3) can you do the testing in New York State?

@yishan Von Neumann is my go-to counter example of “a perfect memory inherently has trade offs”

@gabepereyra Great piece, but are we really supposed to believe Spectre @ Harvey is based on a Dota character?!

@michaelxbloch Would add a moat of operating orgs that require a lot of people (whose labor can’t be replaced for AI for whatever reason). A subset of physical infra if you will.

@akothari @NotionHQ I much prefer the Coda idea where every document is like a whole small Notion. So easy conceptually.

@howard @roam If I run 20 sessions in parallel, does it upgrade me to a corner office?

Really great advice here, @howard -- I've been a fan of your PMF since "Just a tip" ~25 years ago! Agree with almost every word of this, and I hope lots of people read it. Just two things to add: 1) I like LTV/CAC as one way to measure PMF. Of course there are many other related metrics, but I find LTV/CAC gets at how much people like it and how quickly can you scale. 2) Relatedly, I think the growth doesn't have to be organic to indicate PMF. Lots of businesses (from Noom to Expedia) scale with a lot of paid spend... just LTV/CAC has to be right. Some products are viral/organic yes, but that's only one way to fly.

@nikillinit And the more they charge for it, the better it will work. Win-win!

@ExaAILabs Very cool. Just to set the record straight, Google did build Google Instant in 2008, and it was quite similar. But people didn’t appreciate the extra speed. Now that AI is here, the extra speed is helpful again. developers.google.com/search/blog/20…

When your website headline tries to be too clever... remember this airport ad [unmodified, not AI]. Simple works best.

@nikillinit Note also how they solved collecting outcomes measures — they get paid to collect them (attending a session at 5% WL is reimbursed, which creates an incentive to measure).

@nikillinit Don’t know much about ACO ACCESS, but in response to your #1, I think the best is to pay for both inputs and outcomes. So some reasonable payments for inputs, and then a larger payment for outputs. I think the MDPP gets this directionally right for diabetes prevention.
