The current governor’s only argument is that she doesn’t like Trump. Her record shows that doesn’t matter and Oregon is terrible in about every category that matters. Forget about Trump. Our state needs a change. Voting for more of the same is insane.
Welcome. They have done it every game for a couple of years. It’s called world class marketing. You all will get there in 3 or 4 years. By then it will be old and we will be innovating on to the next thing. @oregonfootball
If they keep mentioning that they sold out, is it really a big deal? Social littered with videos of fights in the stands and players celebrating dirty hits. You are not the throne of West Coast football.
Some of the Chad Powers “Russ” highlights were actually @BoNix10 and @tezMania15 @oregonfootball #goducks
Foundational models earn more when your AI runs in circles. Focused context gets the right answer the first time, at about one percent of the cost.
Everyone's impressed by AI. Few understand how the math works.
Nitin's latest article breaks down why AI unit economics are stuck in beta, and how we built Tellagence as a solve.

Somehow @AlaskaAir moved my family’s entire seats around. We ended up paying more to get everyone semi close together and I’m in row 11 with no legroom. How does that happen? How is row 11 from Maui to PDX premium?
Just a reminder that you can collect ✨MUMBOT WORLD✨ plush @HotTopic and about 40+ other fine retailers... y'know... in case you have been looking for something soft to cuddle! 💖
This low posting is the wrong way to look at it. If you are looking at averages and his is true but this is not how the algo works now. #socialmediaweek .
How are you understanding social conversation at scale? To drive attention you have to understand and plug into community since followers are less important. Anyone need help here? #SocialMediaWeek
Well Oregon just killed QSBS for startups. Thanks @TinaKotek. I love this state for many reasons but it is one of the worst run states in the country. It’s just embarrassing.
She wants her council to work on a fix but there is not a single startup on the council. Oops. If I achieve what we hope at Tellagence this decision could cost me millions. For what? To go back to a state government that will mismanage it.
Unfortunately Oregon is a state with a few very condensed centers of population. Which means they control election outcomes in our state. Those centers have very specific views and the bubble they live in, keep us in this cycle. They just can’t get out of their own way.
Oregon needs help. Unfortunately I think things have to continue to get worse before people wake up and realize they may need to make different choices.
This is a state that doesn’t have a robust startup community, so why pick on it? You just feel like crushing it?! We don’t have many large companies because this is an expensive state to build a business. Historically companies like Nike and Intel were shining stars but both are at extremely low points right now.
I guess now I need to add a call to my lawyers to talk about options. So frustrated with our leadership.
This is from a book called The Goal. Everyone should read it.
Marc Andreessen explains the "Elon Method" of leadership, and it completely contradicts how most CEOs operate today.
Most leaders get bogged down trying to manage every single moving part of their business. But according to Andreessen, Elon's approach is actually the exact opposite: he delegates almost everything. He isn't involved in 99% of what his companies are doing on a daily basis.
Instead, his entire focus is hunting for one specific thing: The Bottleneck.
In any manufacturing chain, there is always a bottleneck keeping the line from running the way it's supposed to. It could be a lack of raw materials at the beginning, or a shortage of warehouse space at the end. Whatever it is, that bottleneck is holding everything up. Job number one is to remove it and get things flowing again.
Elon has universalized this concept. He looks at every company like it's a conceptual assembly line—sometimes a literal one making cars and rockets. He knows that on any given week, there is guaranteed to be one main bottleneck holding his people back.
So, what’s the secret to his management paradox? He relentlessly micromanages the solution to that one specific problem. He doesn't need to manage everything else because, by definition, the rest of the company is running better than the bottleneck. Once it's fixed, he moves on to the next biggest problem.
But here is the part where most non-technical CEOs would completely fail trying to replicate this method:
When Elon identifies the bottleneck, he has zero patience for bureaucracy. He doesn't ask the VP of Engineering to ask the Director to ask the Manager to ask the individual contributor to write a report to be reviewed in three weeks. He would throw that entire chain of command out the window.
Instead, he bypasses the middleman completely. He goes straight to the manufacturing line or the software group, personally finds the exact line engineer who actually understands the technical nature of the bottleneck, sits in a room with them, and fixes the problem together.
