It's basically an Israeli spin on YC (fit an archetype and raise later rounds based on that). That said, Gili also likes picking younger and inexperienced founders because Cyberstarts ends up run…

No but for different reasons. Israeli cybersecurity startups funded by Cyberstarts such as Irregular always call out being Israeli because Cyberstarts' whole marketing shtick is making 8200, Isra…

I'd recommend reading the history of Autodefensas and FARC/FLN in Colombia. Anti-Drug militant groups have a habit of turning into drug lords as well.

Idk. I'd probably put it the other way - part of the state turned into gangs. Most of the core leadership of major cartels who haven't been arrested were mid-level officers in the DFS (Mex…

100,000 jobs were still lost and there is no one else who can absorb them. And the experience of the VFX industry is probably the best example of what would happen to a heavily unionized software driv…

Unions don't help with that as can be seen with Volkswagen or much of Detroit. Or, from an IP-driven industry perspective, the offshoring of Hollywood following the SAG and WGA strikes in the ear…

"Still Indians, actually Though the technology is making life still harder for many graduates" To quote the byline, which is the most apt description of AI's impact in most markets.

Not OP but they're supposedly secular. In action, much of their leadership defected to join ISGS, AQIM, JNIM, and other Islamist groups in the Sahel and Maghreb in the 1990s to 2000s that have pu…

You were at the lower end of the TC scale. When I started as a SWE my TC was around $150K and that was in the early 2010s. And the Levels numbers line up with new grad salary bands from back in 2019-2…

Those 40-60 universities graduate around 50k undergraduate CS, EE, CE, ECE, and EE majors a year . Overall, the US graduates around 125k-150k CS/EE/CE/ECE/EE/EECS majors a y…

There are too many new grads and the quality bar outside of target programs has dropped nor never existed to begin with. And the target programs graduate around 15-20k EECS adjacent majors a year. It&…

Yep. That's the premise of this article. The writer used to be the dean of humanities at University of Utah (great school, much of AI exists thanks to their work on CompGraphics, HPC, and Teapots…

Depending on the type of question being asked and the complexity, human intervention is still needed because LLMs still face an information retrieval problems.

They do. The top 20 CS/EE/CE/ECE/EE degree programs (MIT, CMU, Stanford, Cal, UIUC, GT, UT Austin, Purdue, UW, UCLA, UCSD, Ivies, UChicago, NYU, UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, USC, UMinn, …

> The elite research layer of higher education (Stanford, Berkeley, MIT) is still an AI accelerant. But across the country, as Scott Latham told me, “the vast majority of institutions are in a stat…

It's an irreversible fact of how naturalization works in the US. The only way to naturalize is by getting a green card, holding it for 5 years, and then applying. But GCs have a country cap, and …
