Another “30 under 30” grifter goes to jail.
Separately, I hope a few folks at JPMC got fired over this. Even the most basic of due diligence should have caught this.
Readit NewsI see the string of “30 Under 30” being a statistically valid predictor of future likelihood to go to prison continues. These lists feed on the narcissistic tendencies of grifters who are desperate to get on the list and then tell you about it on LinkedIn.
These lists have such a bad reputation these days that legit top folks are asking their PR people to keep the off!

Impressive round but it seems unlikely this game can go on much longer before something implodes. Given the amount of cash you need to set of fire to stay relevant it’s becoming nearly impossible for all but a few players to stay competitive, but those players have yet to demonstrate a viable business model.
With all these models converging, the big players aren’t demonstrating a real technical innovation moat. Everyone knows how to build these models now, it just takes a ton of cash to do it.
This whole thing is turning into an expensive race to the bottom. Cool tech, but bad business. A lot of VC folks gonna lose their shirt in this space.

It’s unclear why Swami is put in charge of this stuff. He’s not a recognized leader in the space and hasn’t delivered a coherent strategy. However, per the article Amazon is struggling to hire and retain the best talent and thus it may just be the best they have.
Who is “Swami?” Although I suppose that’s just making the point that Amazon’s folks aren’t recognized leaders in this space.

This is a pointless feature that’s easily bypassed if you know what you’re doing. It’s there so someone can check a compliance box to make an auditor that doesn’t know much about tech feel better. That’s it.

I paid $400 for a plumber to do 30 minutes of work this week.
A doctor has more training and a lot higher infrastructure costs and overhead, and thus a higher hourly fee.
And yet ironically, in the US at least, there’s a decent chance that plumber actually makes more than a physician.
Do you think this could effectively render vaccines completely useless, if they have novel spike proteins that aren't targeted by the vaccines?
Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, this is not my knowledge domain.
That’s the doomsday scenario and thankfully “completely useless” is quite unlikely. However all viruses mutate and so it’s only a matter of time before the current vaccines become gradually less effective. We give people 3-4 new vaccines a year (usually in one “flu shot”) in the never ending battle against the mutating influenza virus. So it’s really important we get as many people vaccinated ASAP. Every new person infected makes millions upon millions of copies of the virus, each one being a new opportunity for mutations to develop. Stopping infections exponentially slows down the rate at which the virus can mutate simply because it’s being “photocopied” fewer and fewer times.
Haven’t gotten a chance to dig in in-depth: how confident are they that the initial prevalence study was solid?
It’s based on a sample and extrapolated out so it’s entirely possible initial immunity was overestimated. Possibility for bias in the sampling of who was tested and such. Hopefully it’s just a statistical fluke but everyone is sort of on edge at this point watching for this starting to happen.
It’s not really a question of if the virus will mutate to reinfect people again (or infect those vaccinated) but more of when and if we can get to herd immunity before that happens.
Maybe times changed since it became more of a running joke. At one point it was a selling point for fundraising that people would compete hard over.
