Curious: what are people using as the best open source and locally hosted versions to have agents browse the web?

Yeah, there’s a ton of information. https://epsteinsecrets.com/network is another tool to pursue the data dumps.

The best part of the largest healthcare conference of the year is usually the satellite events.

I started keeping a personal spreadsheet and it snowballed - so I've started publishing it to save others the same scavenger hunt:

Would love recommendations for good events to add this year that I'm missing so far!

We're teaching another workshop on prototyping with LLMS at Harvard Business School at the end of this month.

Would love suggestions from folks here on how we might update the assignment and what tools we might include.

So much has happened in several months that the original assignment already feels dated!

True. I usually don't find this limiting in my use cases.

This is a good point if you have a static IP address for pointing the URL, but sometimes this isn't the case (e.g. if you are pointing to a site with DDNS or a site with multiple IPs)

People have kept pressing me on the commercial potential behind my latest hobby. I took some time to dig and was surprised how the renaissance in self-hosting actually opens up a lot of new possibilities further accelerated by the latest AI tailwinds.

Curious to learn about others who are self-hosting. What's your use case?

Does AI have a place in validating product market fit?

I'm helping teach a workshop at Harvard Business School on using AI to prototype and test business models.

What are some "wow" use cases you've seen using AI to validate startup hypotheses or rapidly prototype an idea that can be picked up by a nontechnical MBA student in under an hour?

Condor Software | Software Engineer, Full Stack (Django, React) | Remote, San Diego, New York, or Boston | Full-time

Condor is building a world where finance accelerates human progress in medicine.

Our mission is to help biotech finance teams save time, money, and lives by bringing more cutting-edge therapies to market, faster and more affordably.

We started Condor because we realized that the life-saving treatments needed by our loved ones were held back by billions of dollars in complicated, time-consuming, and inefficient financial processes, which consistently delay clinical trial deployment and growth.

With more demand than we can currently service, we're looking for product leaning software engineers interested in tackling a big, hairy, complex business domain, value building "code that is easy to delete," and geek out about going "six levels down" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-1-six-levels-d...) and skilled people who are also "good humans" interested in our mission.

I had the same experience as the author when I first started learning about clinical trials from the perspective of the software world.

The amount of money invested in clinical trials and lack of visibility is staggering. We've companies that spend the entirety of their $100Ms in funding and not realized until month(s) after the fact when their accruals caught up!

A lot of it is messed up and can be improved. Indeed, we've have more demand than we can service since we productized what we're working on at Condor (https://condorsoftware.notion.site/About-Condor-d8a466f7722e...).

However, similar to what others have alluded, Chesterton's Fence is a relevant concept here (https://fs.blog/chestertons-fence/). It's critical to understand the rational reasons why the industry is so apparently messed up before you can fix them affectively. I wouldn't be working on the problem we're tackling today, if it weren't for my cofounder's deep knowledge across several disciplines in the industry.

One thing that continues to make a meaningful impression on me is the mission driven motivation behind so many people working in the industry of all levels. Consistently from the chief scientist to the entry level accountant you hear people talk about how they tie their work to the patients. Many software companies say they are "changing lives," many life science workers can actually point to saving them. It's been a big motivating factor for my cofounder and I to realize the same companies we are helping extend R&D runway are the ones making cancer drugs for some of those close to us.

Messy industry dynamics and backwards software means there are lots of BHAGs (https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/bhag.html) to tackle.

Always down to talk shop on clinical trial finance, software, or ways to collaborate with good people whose interest this piques! Contact in bio.

Built a site to connect startups with free MBA interns for the summer (https://hireastartupmba.com/intern-stipend).

I’m an engineer exploring “the dark side” and saw a lot of classmates losing internships because of covid.

Contrary to the bad rap I feel that MBAs get amongst hackers, I’ve been pleasantly surprised how kind, scrappy, and effective my classmates are when applied to the right work “around the tech” e.g. marketing, running numbers, and fuzzy stuff that is important as companies grow.

Grew larger than we expected to a lot of other schools.

One disappointment: I wanted to call it “Hire the Dark Side,” but couldn’t find a single MBA who understood the joke!

This is pretty funny.

Excited to see this up and running!
