Traditional narrative is that you need tons of traces of actual execution to post-train and get models right. Nobody seems to use Kimi API from Moonshot, I bet everybody is using them on neoclouds/inference providers like Together, Nebius, Fireworks etc. where unlikely they will get traces (in fact, thats the whole promise of these inf providers). How are Kimi models improving so quickly? Is this just distillation (though Sol/Fable just came out so I find it hard to believe)

An exploration of ways in which you can hold the bar for technical decision making as a company and engineering team scales.

OP here. We all know leadership behaviors that lead to success, but what do we need to watch out for? How do we really prioritize what activities to focus on for new managers? I was recently helping somebody through this question, and decided to pen my thoughts for a broader audience.

OP here. Always a good place to be in. Hard numbers is more valuable but you need to think about how to address the concerns else you will hit a glass ceiling, or the moment they find an alternative they will jump. Thinking about lock-in is very important.

OP here. This was in the original tweetstorm that got me thinking: https://twitter.com/ibringtraffic/status/1319732207410237440

Strongly believe that you should ask for payment - until then everybody gives nice feedback. But the proof of the putting is in pulling your card/checkbook/Purchase Order out and eating the pudding.

OP here. Superhuman's framework is great, but in many enterprises the buyer and decision maker is different - most times you have to build a stronger justification for the exec sponsor to pull the trigger using the value/RoI framework unless the product is cheap enough to flow below the radar. You also need to justify why it makes sense to yank out what you have right now and replace with something else causing a lot of disruption.

Superhuman is not a b2b purchase but more of a prosumer purchase, so the framework works really well for them.

OP here. Agree with this. Lack of logos means that you need to do a lot more due diligence so the buyer has to really sneak their head out and put a stake on the ground to buy the product. References & logos make it far easier to justify that the product is well respected and make the process easier. It helps avoid the question: "am I the sucker?"

What is fascinating is that the Indian economy as a whole hasn't been doing too well lately. Verdict is out and you'll read both interpretations but here's one from a Nobel Laureate: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/ind...

The startup activity in India is the bright side of the story. We are still riding the boom that came due to Jio and mass adoption of "data" - but I worry that the overall slowdown in the economy will catch up with the startup ecosystem at some point.

Shamelessly sharing my own post on HN to see what people think. I've been thinking about this a long time. We make decisions all the time - but what need quick execution vs slow deliberate thinking?

I'm a bit confused on whether its appropriate to share your own writing on HN. I haven't done so earlier as a result. I searched a bit but couldn't find any clear information around it, so taking a chance to see what people say about it.

Great question @vividjoy.

First up, we work with licensed caterers and restaurant kitchens to ensure the food production kitchen is safe from a food safety perspective.

Secondly, we curate and personally taste each individual menu to ensure a high quality experience in terms of taste.

Thirdly, we transport all the food cold to ensure that it maintains its quality and consistency a lot better. We provide detailed heat and serve instructions so you can create the most authentic experience.

We'd love for you to try it out!

Thanks @arania for your interest. At this time, we have a single menu every week, but with time, as the interest grows, we hope to add more options.

We have a combination of caterers and authentic restaurants on our platform. Amongst those, we choose the ones who represent the cuisine best.

One of the challenges we see customers face is being able to find the really great authentic dishes that go well from a cuisine they are not familiar with - which is why we put in a lot of effort to curate the menus and ensure a high level of quality in the food.

If you visit the URL, you can sign up to receive every week. Delivering all over Bay Area only for now.

We've been delivering authentic, unique food to families in the Bay Area over the past year. In Taro Gourmet, food lovers get to enjoy a curated experience from different parts of the world every week and experience new cultures through food - unique dishes and rare micro-cuisines that skip the local restaurant. In this journey, we may go to Japan to try the famous 5-course Siawase Menu, then go to Cuba to try Beef Empanadas and Polenta like the locals, and perhaps take you to Coastal Gujarat for a Kathiawadi Thali.

Once you are onboard as a Taro Gourmet, you will have option to receive specially curated meal for two every Tuesday. In a week leading to your delivery, we will send you all the information on this cuisine, chefs and story behind each item. As we embark on this gastronomic journey, Taro will satiate your palate as well as bring out the story the restaurants don't tell you.

Our first menu - exploring the Peranakan Chinese cuisine (called "Baba Nyonya") from the Malay Peninsula is live - we'd love your feedback :)

Really unfortunate development. I preferred using them to Stripe earlier primarily because they made the job so much easier (order level escrow so we din't have to maintain them ourselves). Not looking forward to the migration!

Wish Matin and the team at Balanced the very best for their future endeavors.
