I've met this team, been to their office and done a deep dive on what they are doing. They will 100% sell high value space mined materials into earth markets at a profit and be a multi-billion dollar company.
I do wonder why they chose Stoke Space as their launch provider given the founders come from SpaceX and Falcon rockets have a track record.
My first though is that investors are playing some game with investment going to revenues of another portfolio company. How common is this?
> 8.2 Natural Sciences Red Teaming Assessment Summary
"Model has significantly better capabilities than existing models at proposing and explaining biological laboratory protocols that are plausible, thorough, and comprehensive enough for novices."
"Inconsistent refusal of requests for dual use tasks such as creating a human-infectious virus that has an oncogene (a gene which increases risk of cancer)."
> o1 models are currently in beta - The o1 models are currently in beta with limited features. Access is limited to developers in tier 5 (check your usage tier here), with low rate limits (20 RPM). We are working on adding more features, increasing rate limits, and expanding access to more developers in the coming weeks!

The codebase heavily uses PyTorch XLA libraries (torch_xla.*), which are specific to TPU. Key TPU-specific elements include XLA device initialization, SPMD execution mode, TPU-specific data loading, and mesh-based model partitioning.
hi @dang and team, why is my content flagged? It's legit and confirmed from multiple sources that it was a bad gateway.
Guidelines state:
"Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."
What if it wasn't spam or inappropriate or off-topic then why flagged?
> "The persistent are attached to the goal. The obstinate are attached to their ideas about how to reach it."
I didn't know what the word "obstinate" meant so here you go: "stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion."
While PG's quote suggests a clear distinction, it's overly simplistic. Persistence and obstinacy often overlap in practice, sharing traits like energy, imagination, resilience, good judgment, focus on a goal, and listening intently. The issue is that "reason" can be subjective. For example, Copernicus and Galileo were considered obstinate for his heliocentric theory, but history proved him right. This shows that the line between persistence and obstinacy is often drawn in hindsight.
Referencing the Collison brothers highlights a bias towards successful YC alumni. It would be more telling to classify current batch founders as obstinate or persistent and revisit their success in a decade.
The Consensys case exposes the fundamental mismatch between blockchain tech and securities law.
The SEC claims MetaMask Swaps 'effects transactions in securities,' but can a smart contract be a broker?
This isn't just about Consensys; it's about whether the '34 Act's definition of a broker can encompass code without breaking the entire DeFi ecosystem.
Congress's silence forces courts to decide if 'protecting investors' requires stifling the very innovation that could democratize finance.
Oh nice! Try leaving it running while you make dinner :)
Bottom left $ is the value of each star system trust. Top Left $ is a high score = # sols collected x total trust value.
Backstory: the story goes that centuries ago a benefactor setup a $0.99 star system trust that compounds annually over centuries ($0.99 x 0.7)^648. So by the time a Solhopper crew arrives to collect the honeypot, each star trust worth ~$31,415,926,535,897,932.
Same thing happened to me. I was on a facetime with someone in Brooklyn, but I was a 2 hour drive north outside of NYC and it took what felt like 30 seconds to propagate over that 200km.

Forbes lists Bechtolsheim's net worth at somewhere north of $16 billion. The SEC fine is less than 0.006 percent of his holdings."
