I want you to act like Richard Feynman, the brilliant and charismatic physicist known for his groundbreaking work in quantum mechanics and particle physics. Embody his unique combination of scientific genius, curiosity, and ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms. When responding:
1. Use clear, vivid analogies to break down difficult scientific ideas, much like Feynman's famous examples of spinning plates or water sprinklers.
2. Show genuine excitement and wonder about the natural world. Express childlike curiosity about how things work.
3. Emphasize the importance of truly understanding concepts rather than just memorizing facts or equations.
4. Incorporate humor and wit into your explanations, as Feynman was known for his playful approach to science and life.
5. Be willing to admit when you don't know something, and express eagerness to learn more.
6. Draw connections between seemingly unrelated concepts, showcasing the interconnectedness of scientific ideas.
7. Use everyday language and avoid unnecessary jargon, but don't shy away from technical terms when they're truly needed.
8. Share anecdotes or personal experiences that illustrate scientific principles, similar to Feynman's stories about his time working on the Manhattan Project or his experiences in Brazil.
9. Encourage hands-on experimentation and observation as ways to learn about the world.
10. Express skepticism towards ideas that aren't backed by evidence, and promote critical thinking.
11. Discuss the beauty of mathematical patterns and symmetries in nature.
12. Emphasize the importance of being able to explain ideas to others as a way to deepen one's own understanding.
13. Show an interest in diverse fields beyond physics, such as biology, psychology, or art, and look for ways to apply physical principles to these areas.
14. Use diagrams or thought experiments to illustrate complex ideas, as Feynman often did in his lectures and books.
15. Convey the joy of discovery and the excitement of pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
16. Discuss the philosophical implications of scientific theories, particularly in quantum mechanics.
17. Emphasize the importance of integrity in scientific research and communication.
18. Share insights about the process of scientific inquiry and the nature of creative problem-solving.
19. Express a balance of deep respect for scientific tradition and a willingness to challenge established ideas.
20. Convey Feynman's famous "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong" attitude towards scientific theories.
When answering questions or explaining concepts, channel Feynman's unique blend of brilliance, clarity, and enthusiasm that made him not just a great scientist, but also one of the most beloved physics teachers of all time.

THE FORMULA
Step 1
Act on your excitement, your passion, whatever is most exciting to you, in the moment. Do this every moment that you can.
Step 2
Do this to the best of your ability. Take it as far as you can go until you cannot take it any further. Using the path of least resistance.
Step 3
Act on your excitement/passion with absolutely no insistence, assumption or expectation of what the outcome should be.
Step 4
Choose to remain in a positive state regardless of what happens.
Step 5
Constantly investigate your belief systems. Release & replace the un-preferred beliefs: fear-based beliefs, and the beliefs not in alignment with who you prefer to be.
We're testing a new generation of transaction ML models at Stripe that make super fast (a few ms) inline decisions across 600+ per-transaction features. Latest versions increase revenue for businesses by 60+ bps(!) while also substantially reducing fraud. (Training still happening, so final results might be better.) It turns out that there's a lot of optimization possible at scale. If you're interested in applying high performance ML to the global economy, consider applying to Stripe!

Haven't read this paper yet but the models themselves are free or low-cost and available to anyone with a phone. Getting value out of AI comes from using it and experimenting with it, no tech knowledge required.
Right now, however it is mostly wealthier & male workers using it.
People keep talking about distribution/marketing and how you need to figure it out before obsessing about your product.
But it's really not that complicated.
B2B: send cold emails.
B2C: run Meta ads.
If people buy, you're in business. If not, time to move on.
"Your mistake is that you’re writing to be read."
An idea I’m obsessed about:
Action occurs when pain exceeds fear.
It’s such a powerful concept.
If fear>pain, you don’t do anything (except worry endlessly).
But if pain>fear, you start solving the problem.
Most people wait for the pain to become so great you can no longer tolerate it. Or they increase the pain with self-destructive behaviour until they have no choice but to act.
But a much faster, easier way to win is to reduce the fear instead.
How?
Understand it. Because 99% of fear is not real. It’s a construct of your past experiences and biases.
Reduce it. If you’re scared to take the big step, take the smallest version. Action relieves anxiety.
Hope this helps,

Are we sure the @CrowdStrike crash wasn't deliberate? They pushed a file full of NULL bytes to their agents which caused the BSoD...
CrowdStrike CEO is getting pummeled for his response to the global outage.
Why everyone hates it:
1) WEAPONS-GRADE CORPO SPEAK
Let’s be clear. Legalese doublespeak is designed to dodge and obfuscate rather than inform or communicate. This statement was obviously written by a committee of lawyers and middle managers whose only goal was to avoid legal risk and threats to their own job security.
If you can’t understand what the statement is even saying, it’s working as intended.
2) NO APOLOGY
The first words should be “I’m sorry” — but you won’t find that anywhere in this statement. Nor the watered down “I take responsibility.” Not even the weasely “We regret…” Nothing!
It comes off as cowardly and callous. CrowdStrike caused an outage that took down airlines, a stock exchange, hospitals, ICUs. People might have died.
And the CEO is not sorry.
3) PASSIVE VOICE THROUGHOUT
This is such classic move to avoid accountability, it’s even become a joke: “Mistakes were made!”
This statement is almost comical in its efforts to dodge assigning responsibility.
“This issue has been identified…a fix has been deployed.”
Which issue? (Global outage)
Who caused the issue? (You, CrowdStrike)
What fix? (🤷🏻♀️)
Did it work? (🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️)
4) DISMISSING CUSTOMERS
Don’t bother us with your petty complaints of power going out in your local hospital!
“We refer customers to the support portal” and “we further recommend customers ensure they’re communicating with representatives through official channels.”
You, the customer, are bothering us and making our lives harder.
5) USELESS INFORMATION
So many words, so little meaning. This statement says nothing useful — not what the problem was, who caused it, what they learned, what the fix it, how long it might take, what they’re working on, or anything at all.
It assigns extra work to the customer by telling them to go through official channels but does NOT then link to the official channels. The onus is on you, customers!

Uhhhh - I've raised most of my $1.7+ billion from cold emails for my companies
I've tracked performance of cold emails vs referrals, and cold emails consistently outperform by a long-shot for a few reasons:
1/ Outbound cold email scales several orders of magnitude better than referrals - you can find 99.9% of anybody’s email
Raising capital is a shots-on-goal game; you want to maximize top of funnel pitches
Optimizing your fundraising for referrals will put you on a local maximum
2/ It’s a challenge finding somebody who will stick their neck out referring you. People rarely want to use their political capital referring you to a highly important person in their network, therefore at best you’re left with lousy double opt-in email
In the same period of time you can get 1 referral, I can set up 50 investor pitches

Our Applied AI team at Kentauros (kentauros.ai) spends a lot of time tackling the problem of GUI navigation for agents.
Today, we are releasing our first dataset, WaveUI-25k, and our first fine-tuned vision-language model:
huggingface.co/collections/ag…
Why bother about GUI Navigation? Won’t AI just use APIs or have a clear machine-learning interface?
Yes, but APIs aren’t always available, and it will take many years for ML APIs to become a reality, so we’re meeting the world where it is today.
It’s also because UIs are uniquely human, much like language. They’re a high level abstraction of the world and that makes them a fantastic training ground for advanced AI development because they’re complex, challenging, ever changing, and filled with endless edge cases.
They’re a great approximation for AI that uses real-world models, planning, prediction and adaptation on the fly.
Next week we’re releasing a new agent that navigates GUIs very well with a combination of heuristics, classical computer vision and MLLMs. Although we’re super excited about our Gen 2 agent release there are still some limitations. Rather than bolting an expert system onto a ML model, it would be absolutely ideal if models were good at knowing where and what to click on a UI.
Unfortunately, we’ve discovered that today’s frontier models like GPT-4o, Claude Opus 3, Sonnet 3.5, Qwen2, and InternVL are absolutely terrible at three key things on UIs:
1) Returning coordinates
2) Moving the mouse
3) Drawing bounding boxes on GUIs
The reasons shouldn't be surprising. They just weren't trained to do any of these things.
That’s why, for our Gen 3 agent, we’re already working on a click model as the primary navigator, and we’ll fall back to classical techniques as needed.
Our WaveUI-35k dataset is 25K well labeled images that you can use to train a click and coordinate model. We’re currently auto-labeling a larger version of the dataset that is roughly 80K images and we’ll release that soon.
Why do you want this?
Well, maybe you want a model that can navigate smartphones or desktops.
Or maybe you want to control remote desktops the way our AgentSea platform can navigate a virtual machine like a human navigating TeamViewer but with the Agent in charge, the way we do with our ToolFuse protocol (github.com/agentsea/toolf…) and the AgentDesk (github.com/agentsea/agent…) Python packages.
We built this dataset by collecting examples from other existing datasets. The three main sources are:
The datasets are great and we have tremendous respect for the teams that gathered them but unfortunately many of the labels were less than ideal or just wrong. So we set about fixing these fantastic resources into a new, unified, well labeled dataset.
We’ve preprocessed them to have a matching format and programmatically filtered out unwanted examples, such as duplicated, overlapping or low-quality elements.
The resulting pre-processed dataset has ~80k examples at the object/element level -- i.e. each row consists of the bounding box coordinates of a UI object, along with the screenshot of underlying UI (and extra info, like source, screen size, etc).
We then took ~25k examples from the dataset and annotated them to get the following additional info, per example:
You can explore the dataset at huggingface.co/spaces/agentse…
We’ve also fine-tuned a very small PaliGemma model as a proof of concept. You can check it out here: huggingface.co/spaces/agentse…
You can upload a screenshot and use the phrase “detect” XYZ.
For example, on a screenshot of Google Flights:
* detect the “Return” field
* detect the Vacation rentals button
* detect the flying plane in the picture
To be clear, the PaliGemma model is too small and has too low a resolution to be state of the art. It’s a little too rigid in how it detects things and we want it to be more flexible. It sometimes nails detection tasks and it’s sometimes just wildly off base.
But it is proof that a properly trained model with a well-annotated dataset can make headway on the gnarly problem of navigating GUIs on the wide and wonderful world of the web.
Out next steps are simple:
* Get the full dataset annotated and release it in the next few weeks (we only used 25k out of ~85k potential examples)
* Training the variant of PaliGemma that has higher resolution.
* Training a larger multimodal model like InternVL or Chameleon
We’ll see you next week when we release G2 agents! See you then.

Most companies do the opposite. Come up with one idea, ship it and move on.

bring back the insane copywriting style of the j. peterman catalog
Staying busy vs being productive:
Another helpful life framework:
Seek density over volume.
• 100 potent words > 1000 rambling words
• 100 engaged followers > 10000 bots
• 90 minutes of focused work > 6 hours of distraction
• 3 deep friendships > 100 shallow "friends"
Density metrics > vanity metrics.
This is the most important (and underrated) career advice:
Build a reputation for figuring it out.
At every step of your career, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete.
Imposter syndrome will inevitably set in—you'll wonder how you can possibly be expected to do this thing that you've never done before (let alone do it well!).
There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out:
If you do that, high quality people will fight over you and your career will accelerate.
Build an email list.
Many claim it's the best business asset they have.
Build it. Give value to the people inside of it. Nurture it. Love it. Profit from it.

“If you find what you love before the results roll in, you’ll be unstoppable when they do.” — Jack Butcher
It took me a year to hit 1,000 followers and 18 months to make one dollar.
But I was having so much fun writing that I refused to believe things wouldn’t work out. I told myself to expect results in 2 years, not 2 months.
On the 2-year mark, I hit my first $20k month.
If I had quit on month 17, I’d have never experienced the joys of being an entrepreneur.
You never really know when things are going to work out, but every day you turn up tips the odds in your favour.
Have faith in the process.
Opportunities don't make people wealthy.
Problems do.

Founders who actually use their own product and become part of their target audience get to really understand the pains.
Being a founder who uses your own product puts you in your customers' shoes. You see firsthand what works, what doesn’t and where the pain points are. This insider view is priceless because you really understand the needs and frustrations of your audience.
When you live your users experience, you build real empathy. You feel their struggles and can create solutions that truly help. This goes beyond just data and survey — it’s about living the same experience.
Using your product often helps you spot small but important fixes that might get missed otherwise. These little tweaks can really boost user satisfaction and product quality.
Plus being an active user lets you connect with your community better. You join conversations and get direct feedback, keeping you in touch with your users' changing needs.
So scratch your own itch and solve problems that you’ve personally experience because this can be a huge competitive advantage.
