Just had a call with someone on Forbes 30 under 30 list and came away really impressed.
He shared with me how he made VP at a top tech company before age 30:
1. 4:30 AM wakeup
2. Cold showers
3. Gratitude journal
4. Meditate
5. Dad owns tech company
Nvidia ($960B) is now worth more than:
- Facebook ($665B)
- Tesla ($618B)
- Netflix ($168B)
This is a company that started 30 years ago at Denny's and was for decades only a video game chip maker.
Here's why Nvidia is surging:
I've watched hundreds of Korean movies.
The best ones blend thrills, comedy, and tragedy into highly original stories.
Here's a list of 12 Korean masterpieces that you must watch:
Just looked up Prigozhin and the man had a wild life:
1981: Caught stealing in his early 20s -> 9 years in jail
1990: Sold hot dogs in a flea market
1995: Entered restaurant business
2001: Personally served food to Putin
2012: Supplied meals to Russian military for $1.2B a year.…
My mind is blown that this happened over a weekend with a logo from a user.
Doesn’t this corporate rebrand stuff usually involve paying expensive consultants a few million dollars to make nice strategy decks? 😂
Here's a wild stat:
43% of white students admitted to Harvard are legacy, athletes, or related to donors or staff.
86% admit rate for athletes is insane.
This is one of the best cold emails ever.
But here a 3 ways that it could be even better:
1. Create a hook
The subject line needs a better hook than "internship." e.g., "Snapchat feedback from 10 high schoolers + internship"
2. Add value
Give first, then ask. e.g., "I spoke to…
Who is SBF and how did he go from being crypto's savior to the man that brought a trillion dollar industry to its knees?

A personal story about Satya Nadella's superpower from a Microsoft VP:
"A few weeks after I joined Microsoft, Satya randomly called me and my manager to chat.
During those 30 minutes, he only asked questions. He asked about our thoughts on the product strategy, Microsoft’s…

The most interesting thing about OpenAI is:
How did the company build a culture that not only shipped GPT4, DALLE, and ChatGPT — but also made every staff willing to follow Sam out the door?
Do any OpenAI staff want to share?
Andrej Karpathy is a legendary AI researcher who helped start OpenAI.
He recently gave a talk on how to craft great GPT prompts that almost everyone missed.
I watched the 40 min talk - here's
@karpathy
's top 5 tips to make AI work better for you:
Love this clip from Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) on why innovation requires failure.
"Unless you have a tolerance for failure, you will never experiment. If you don't experiment you won't innovate, and if you don't innovate you won't succeed."
If these leaks are real, OpenAI will let you create and share your own GPT starting tomorrow:
You can give your GPT:
- A name
- A welcome message
- Example prompts to start the conversation
- Additional files for the GPT to reference
- Actions like web browsing, DALL-E, code…
My life changed for the better when I learned about the 3 forms of leverage from
@naval
.
It made me set new goals and redesign my life with intention.
Maybe it'll change your life too:
It never made sense to me why you need to be "accredited" (1M net worth or $200K+ income) to invest in the best startups, yet anyone can go gamble in Vegas or buy lottery tickets.
I hope crypto blows this restriction wide open. We need more education, not blanket rules.
It's wild that SF let its residents suffer for years under an open-air drug market and then cleaned it up in days the moment some world leaders come to visit.
Almost feels like the city's residents don't matter.
i’m downtown sf and there are heavily armed policemen everywhere — underground, drug stores, street corners. “how you doing?” one asked, super friendly, hand on his gun. all in advance of xi’s visit i guess, but crime has evaporated.
it could be like this every day.
When I worked at Facebook, Frank Gehry (the famous architect) stopped by and said something about Zuck that I still remember to this day:
"He's the most driven person that I've ever met."
Doing a 2 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 pushups, and 300 squats in 40 min is no joke.
Tony Fadell co-created the iPhone.
In his book, Build, he explains why product management and product marketing should be the same role.
"Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making."
I've always believed this as someone who did…
1/ Nvidia invented the graphics processing unit (GPU) back in 1999.
Its GeForce series was a perfect fit for PC and console games that demanded high fidelity graphics.
3/ It turns out that GPUs are also well suited for the data processing and model training demands of generative AI.
From an analyst:
"Training AI models demands chips that have large memory...Nvidia is the only company making those chips.”
Nvidia's A100 chips cost $10K each.
ChatGPT code interpreter is the best product to come out of
@openai
since GPT4.
It gives everyone a personal data analyst.
If you haven't tried it yet, let me show you exactly how it works:
Just told my kids that I had to cancel Netflix and they have to eat ramen for a while so we don't miss out on:
ChatGPT Plus $20
Perplexity Pro $20
Claude Pro $20
Microsoft Copilot Pro $20
Gemini Advanced $20
Nvidia almost died 3 times in its 30 year history.
CEO Jensen Huang shared these near-death stories at a commencement speech last night.
Here's what he said:
New to web 3 and want someone to "explain like I'm five" how crypto works?
I've written a single post that breaks down:
1. Web 3
2. Blockchain (wallets and keys, proof of work vs. stake)
3. Tokens
4. Bitcoin
5. Ethereum
6. NFTs
7. DAOs
Let's dive in...
I don’t understand how the people in charge of this city can call themselves “progressives” with a straight face when this shit happens everyday.
Does “progress” mean rampant crime?
5/ In a gold rush, sell the shovels.
Nvidia's GPUs could be the most lucrative shovels ever.

2/ Memories of Murder
Two detectives struggle with the case of young women being found murdered by an unknown culprit.
From the same director as Parasite. Every frame drips with atmosphere, from the rain falling on the rooftops to shadows lurking in the grass.
2/ But GPUs are just one part of the story.
Nvidia launched the CUDA computing platform in 2007 to make it easier for people to program GPUs.
This made it much easier for AI players to adopt Nvidia's chips vs. competitors.
From Nvidia:
4/ The market opportunity is huge.
From CEO Jensen Huang:
"The world has $1 trillion of data center installed, and it used to be 100% CPUs.
In the next 5-10 years, most of that $1 trillion...will be largely gen AI."
1/ Parasite
Greed and class discrimination threaten the relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.
The first foreign language film to win Oscars Best Picture - I've seen it 3x just to watch people's reactions to the twists.
Jensen Huang built Nvidia to $2.2 trillion.
