Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. " People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

My @muse this week: mapped 5,000+ engineers working on a key open-source tech, turned 290 podcast episodes into a searchable guest database, and built a 77-firm investor pipeline with full contact history.

It’s still so early. Much more to come.
BREAKING NEWS🚨: NVIDIA has just achieved 423 tok/s/user 🚀 on the 2.8T Parameter Kimi K3 model via a new upstream vLLM optimization. 1.68x Faster on the Same Hardware! This was done by NVIDIA CentML's Benjamin, who wrote NVIDIA's new decode-specialized kernels in Cute DSL via aggressive Megakernel fusion. This is a 12,000 LoC Megakernel and is the future of advanced AI-assisted kernel generation. NVIDIA is already working on DeepSeekv4.1 and other models for vLLM too. Someone should give this NVIDIA 10x engineer a raise for this great new major feature!
