I've been sprinting 10-16 hours a day for almost a month now. I feel cool, calm, and collected though.

A lot is happening in the world and in our industry but I am doing all I can to be part of the cure, not the cancer.

This gives me peace of mind and helps me adapt regardless of if YC backs me or not. I'm moving to Palo Alto regardless, just being in the zip code alone will be enough at this point.

I strongly believe the von Neumann architecture is a premature optimization. I want to bring bit level systolic array chips into reality and democratize access to petaflops.

I'd be working on the same old things, but with a whole lot better luck :)

Why cancer specifically? Why not say, diabetes or heart disease?
