Excellent deep dive on GPU supply and demand. Covers everything from startups' needs to public cloud capacity to the chemicals required for producing GPUs (!!). https://gpus.llm-utils.org/nvidia-h100-gpus-supply-and-demand

I think it got a tad weaker each season, but overall I liked all of it. I.e. maybe it went from an A to a B+ over the years. I think it's definitely worth watching.

This guest post from @surilkantaria on @lennysan's blog contains some great company-building lessons. My two favorites: - "building in stealth is always a mistake" - "Pre-PMF you’re looking for overwhelming pull from the market or no sales at all."

Invest like the Best/Business Breakdowns by @patrick_oshag and team are great. One thing I've started doing is when I find an interesting guest somewhere, I'll search for their other podcasts, sort by length, and listen to the longest ones. Works well for VC and founder guests.

Great thread. Also, Des Moines (#24) is really punching above its weight!

Good thread on firing people. One of the best nonobvious pieces of advice I've heard about this topic: If you never fire people then you can't build an A+ team because no hiring process is perfect.
