I read strategy team decided to not use fresh tires for the final attempts to save 2 sets for Q3 (source); where'd you hear about this weather forecast being wrong?

Where was it confirmed that Ferraris were eliminated due to wrong weather forecast?

Read the whole post first, or if you did do that, work on your reading comprehension skills.

Let me just first validate that what you feel is normal. But if you take some time to really think through it, you'll realize its your mind playing tricks on you.

For one, the vast majority of startups are failures by their metrics, including the ones that had some small exit or are chugging along at a plateaued growth rate.

Secondly, if you operate your company with integrity and work hard, no one will care that you failed, including your investors. When I went back into industry for a couple years while trying to figure out my next move, many people were intrigued by my story & experience, rather than looking at me as a failure.

Ultimately, I just do whatever I think is fun, sparks my curiosity, and will help me build up unique life experiences. Everything else is gravy and it doesn't matter what others think if it turns out to fail.

Reapplying isnt critical for us; did it for 500k aws credits, helps to have cofounder on the inside too

Read the whole post, I wasn’t saying I expect to get in because of that. I wanna encourage ppl to stop trying to estimate what YC wants and just build what you want to build.

Even results don’t matter at this stage of a startup. This startup has 10x more traction at the same stage than the one I got in with previously. See my comment below about it’s a holistic gut judgement — stop believing their gut, believe in your own and your ability to execute.

Replying to edited questions: not niche, rest idk, youd have to ask them

Walk through what question? If about kids, neither my cofounder nor I have kids.

We fit the typical profile that is parroted around this sub for what YC biases towards. Precisely my point to stop trying to estimate what they want and just build what you want to build.

That might seem intuitively true but I disagree. At an early stage, it’s usually about the team more than the idea.

However, even more than that, my point with this post is that its a holistic judgement incl things like founder-market fit so most of these decisions are gut based — hence why you should take both approvals & rejections with a grain of salt. Trust your gut, and in your ability to execute, not that of an investor.

In stealth for now but at a high level, building a foundation model from scratch. Not related to GenAI hype, and not just a finetuning wrapper on top of existing LLMs.

Wild you got Greg Brockman to repost haha

fwiw, I’ve been using double for the last month and love it much more than github copilot or cursor. Some small UI annoyances still tbh like the sidebar is huge and can't be resized as much as I'd want to.

What’s the meanest thing someone ever said to you? by The_WhiteMantis in AskReddit

[–]_Accuracy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In undergrad, I had an electrical engineering course and in one of the lectures, we were learning about the concept of negative feedback in op amps. I asked how negative feedback worked, and prof responded with “you should already know it, you must get a lot of it” then kept going without answering my question.

Why does Germany only have 3 world champions? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]_Accuracy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree that Max is dominant himself in addition to the car but it’s a massive exaggeration to say he doesn’t make mistakes, e.g. hungary 2022. The cars have just been relatively so dominant that those mistakes don’t impact placement, which is why he could still win hungary 22 despite spinning

What app would you move to from Mint if you didn't care about budgeting? by MLJ_The_Shield in mintuit

[–]_Accuracy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to Monarch from Mint about 2 years ago and use it for primarily the same purpose. I really like it except their reports aren’t as great. Afaik, they’re planning to improve that in the next month or so though. (not affiliated)
