Congratulations to the Frore Systems team on their recently announced Series C, led by Fidelity Investments and with participation from Prosperity7 Ventures and all existing investors. Frore is meeting the moment by building solid-state active cooling solutions that improve the performance of consumer devices, Edge AI, and Data Center AI platforms. One bottleneck in scaling Moore's law is heat! An issue I wrote about last year as Frore emerged from stealth. The ability to cool consumer devices and, soon, data centers give Frore a large TAM and an unprecedented opportunity to play a key role in the emerging 'AI Stack' by enabling higher compute densities. Frore's active cooling ability to dissipate heat is essential for all AI and compute applications. I am thrilled to work with such an amazing company, with phenomenal leadership in Seshu Madhavapeddy and Suryaprakash Ganti. There are no limits to Frore's potential, a company with a dream to address heat challenges in Semiconductors while serving the growing demands of power and performance in modern silicon systems. Thanks to the team for allowing me to be part of this journey from the start!

Ilya Sutskever's SSI Inc raises $1B by colesantiago via Hacker News: best/comments ([Global] Quantum Computing) URL: https://ift.tt/SeTGp9V gigatexal  2024-09-04T18:01:36.000000Z This being ycombinator and as such ostensibly has one or two (if not more) VCs as readers/commentators … can someone please tell me how these companies that are being invested in in the AI space are going to make returns on the money invested? What’s the business plan? (I’m not rich enough to be in these meetings) I just don’t see how the returns will happen. Open source LLMs exist and will get better. Is it just that all these companies will vie for a winner-take-all situation where the “best” model will garner the subscription? Doesn’t OpenAI make some substantial part of the revenue for all the AI space? I just don’t see it. But I don’t have VC levels of cash to bet on a 10x or 100x return so what do I know? jhylau  2024-09-05T03:42:18.000000Z VCs at the big/mega funds make most of their money from fees, they don't actually care as much about the potential portfolio investment exits 10-15 years from now. What they care MOST about is the ability to raise another fund in 2-3 years, so they can milk more fees from LPs. i.e. 2% fee PER YEAR on a 5bn fund is a lot of guaranteed risk-free money. To be able to achieve that is entirely dependent on two things: 1) deploying capital in the current fund on 'sexy' ideas so they can tell LPs they are doing their job 2) paper markups, which they will get, since Ilya will most definitely be able to raise another round or two at a higher valuation. even if it eventually goes bust or gets sold at cost. With 1) and 2), they can go back to their existing fund LPs and raise more money for their next fund and milk more fees. Getting exits and carry is just the cherry on top for these megafund VCs. rawrawrawrr  2024-09-05T04:30:50.000000Z Are you a VC? If they really didn't care about their investment exits, that would be crazy. jhylau  2024-09-05T14:36:57.000000Z It’s not that they don’t care, of course they want to find winners. It’s just that A) there is so much capital to allocate that they have to allocate to marginal ideas B) their priorities are to raise their next fund which means focusing on vanity metrics like IRR and paper markups C) The incentive structure in VC pushes them to invested based on motivated reasoning. Remember VC returns are cyclical, and many vintages underperform the public markets and particularly large funds do worse simply because they have too much capital to allocate and too few great ideas. aorloff  2024-09-05T04:48:54.000000Z I think they treat success and failure as mostly luck, with a tiny bit of hygiene The trick is being in the game long enough valval  2024-09-05T05:21:30.000000Z And you’d be wrong of course, like any other random guess you could make about a topic you know nothing about. andsoitis  2024-09-05T06:48:23.000000Z > about is the ability to...

In a galaxy not so far away, on a planet remarkably similar to Earth but with slightly more green stripes on purple skies, there existed a company called Interlaachic Weidko’ts Inc.. This company was renowned for its innovative products, like the Self-Cleaning Portalhopper and the Telepathic Toaster. However, deep within its labyrinthine corridors, there was a place where innovation went to die: the IT Department. Our protagonist, Zapsok Codeblock, was a software engineer trapped in this very IT … cost-centre. Zapsok was brilliant, but his brilliance was often overshadowed by the sheer absurdity of his surroundings. This IT Department was a place where logic and reason were as rare as mega-chicken hens teeth. One day, Zapsok was summoned to a meeting with the Grand High Manager of Budget Cuts, a being known only as Mr. Pokitpik. Mr. Pokitpik had the uncanny ability to make anything sound like a financial black hole. “Zapsok,” Mr. Pokitpik began, “we need to talk about your latest work, the Interstellar Bug Tracker. It’s costing us a fortune in hyper-space realisation vectors.” “But Mr. Pokitpik,” Zapsok protested, “the Bug Tracker is essential! Without it, our products will be riddled with glitches!” Mr. Pokitpik waved a dismissive tentacle. “Nonsense! Just tell the ux’lings to turn their devices off and on again. Works every time.” Zapsok sighed. This was typical of the IT Department's approach to problem-solving. If it wasn’t immediately profitable, it was deemed unnecessary. He returned to his sleep-pod-o-workspace-amatic, where his colleague, Sasha Byte, was busy trying to debug the company’s latest product, the Quantum Coffee Maker. “How’s it going, Sasha?” Zapsok asked. “Terribly,” Sasha replied. “Every time I fix one bug, three more appear. It’s like playing whack-a-mole with the laws of physics.” Zapsok nodded sympathetically. “I just had a meeting with Mr. Pokitpik. He’s cutting our budget again.” Sasha rolled her eyes. “Of course he is. Maybe we should just automate his job. I’m sure a simple algorithm could do it.” Inspired by Sasha’s sarcasm, Zapsok had an idea. What if they automated all the predictable repetitive mundane things that the IT Cost Centre was bogged down with, … like Mr. Pokitpik, for example? They could call it the Bureaucratron 3000. Over the next few weeks, Zapsok and Sasha worked tirelessly on Bureaucratron 3000. It was a masterpiece of programming, … More from Interlaachic Weidko’ts Inc. next week. We suspect the Bureaucratron 3000 will in fact be a terrible and horrendous mistake. Making for a good story. SO, tune in! We suspect the real answer will be found elsewhere …

At its core, combinatorics deals with counting and listing distinct arrangements of objects. In this video, we'll dive into the fundamentals of permutations and combinations, exploring the principles and formulas that underlie these concepts. Permutations involve arranging objects in a specific order, while combinations focus on selecting subsets of objects. We'll examine how to calculate permutations using factorials and combinations using the combination formula. We'll also discuss the difference between permutations and combinations, as well as the applications of each in real-world scenarios. #Combinatorics #Permutations #Combinations #Mathematics #Probability #ComputerScience #STEM #ScienceEducation Find this and all other slideshows for free on our website: https://lnkd.in/d3rv3gSA #Combinatorics #Permutations #Combinations #Mathematics #Probability #ComputerScience #STEM #ScienceEducation https://lnkd.in/dERVASAr
