I don't get this. I installed the tesla app and was approved to book a drive in 1 week (last week). I've been in the Waymo waiting list for at least 6 months, and still haven't gotten approval and can still only book in SF. They do move slow.

best course: don't. they have a shitty structure so don't bother. find users who are also buyers.

your comment is not aligned with how science is done. For discoveries you certainly work with limited approaches and certainly don't know if there is a "clear trajectory".

I don't see this to be a problem worth solving.

Some problems are problems but for a startup to succeed it needs to be a very important problem.

Having a unique insight is also not enough. It needs to be a highly leverageable insight or advantage. One that you can use in this startup; as you grow your leverage it will help you get users and revenue.

Neither seem true here. When that happens, the journey is a grind, you try to push hard but people don't seem interested.

how do I get motivated? well I have to believe there is a 'leverageable' insight or angle that will grow when I make progress ;) belief that it's a big problem people care about and that I am growing unfair advantage over time solving it.

these examples are all exceptions. how much do the exceptions contribute to the discussion?

there is so much skepticism on quantum computing that instead of inflated marketing words one should always start by what the biggest problems are, how they are not still solved yet, and then introduce what the new improvement is.

Otherwise there is no knowing if the accomplishment is really significant or not.

well I wouldn't be so sure. if you cook with it or add it to dishes (not drink it on its own, who would do that) it certainly has beneficiary effects and it is less of a cause for weight gain than all carbs.

question is DOES OLIVE OIL HAVE THIS COMPOUND? HOW MUCH?

very cool, also the coding style looks good.

Yes, he was first like, we're totally doing this on AMD! A few weeks later he's like wtf@#! this is the buggiest thing ever

"it’s not that hard for a customer to get their software working on a competing hardware platform and cut out a bunch of Nvidia’s enormous markup"

Agree and yet none of the contenders were able to work out their software play (Intel, AMD, chip startups) for more than a year which shows how corporates move slow.

Google is not selling their TPUs AFAIK and their tooling is completely focused on internal use.

So really interesting to see no one else is properly addressing the need even though they have chips (and the chip itself is much simpler than a cpu, a systolic matrix multiplier array).
