".@pmarca's recipe for a great founder: two traits and one choice. The traits: intellect and energy. The choice: courage. Courage is pain tolerance. A huge amount of what people have to do is just get used to getting punched. And the reason people don't understand this is because when you're a founder you cannot let on that this is happening because it will cause people to think that you're weak and they'll lose faith in you. So you have to pretend that you're having a great time when you're dying inside"

But can they go beyond that to make new discoveries and move the needle on scientific progress Distinguished Columbia computer science professor Vishal Misra argues against. LLMs compress the extremely complex world into Bayesian manifolds and while confidence is high on the manifold LLMs hallucinate when reasoning outside of their training data.
