Jeff Dean: The 1% Rule for Building in AI · Y Combinator
Multi-GPU Kernels, Intelligence per Watt, Heterogeneous Inference, and More | YC Paper Club · Y Combinator
- ▶ 38:25 unnamed speaker Uh, you know, you use data pointers to figure out, like, what the past state is in Python, and then you, like, return that. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 39:01 unnamed speaker Like, this just keeps happening, and it's just because, like, Python is a dynamic language, which makes it, like, a terrible choice for these things.
- ▶ 44:04 unnamed speaker And the idea was, you know, at first it was sort of, like, vibe coded in the sense of, like, it was a POC that ported Torch to Python, so basically it just, like, went from Lua to PyTorch Ops, and you could, like, it was verifiable,…
- ▶ 1:14:36 unnamed speaker Like, I see a lot of programming language systems are kind of trending towards, okay, it's still the Cuda programming model, but it's Python syntax on top, which is great, like, simplifies things, easier to look at, but it doesn't actually… 2 times in the scene
Recursion Is The Next Scaling Law In AI · Y Combinator
- ▶ 18:07 Francois Chaubard and you say, hey, there's this Python function called sort.
François Chollet: Why Scaling Alone Isn’t Enough for AGI · Y Combinator

- ▶ 14:28 Jake Heller Just Python code.
Andrej Karpathy: Software Is Changing (Again) · Y Combinator
- ▶ 3:34 Andrej Karpathy Um, so maybe, uh, to summarize the difference, if you're doing sentiment classification, for example, you can imagine writing some, uh, amount of Python to, to basically do sentiment classification, or you can train a neural net, or you…
Jeremy Rossmann of Make School on Income Share Agreements and the Future of College · Y Combinator
- ▶ 15:15 Craig Cannon Yeah, no, I mean, I got stuck learning Ruby, and then I often attribute Python to my learning, but I think actually it was learning Python while I was friends with people who were much more technical than I was.
Analyzing Billions of Transactions to Understand Consumer Behavior - Michael Babineau and Kevin Hale · Y Combinator
- ▶ 31:06 Michael Babineau We can, like, we're happy to help, uh, uh, to help people get onboarded with, like, using Python.

Startup Technology - Technical Founder Advice · Y Combinator
- ▶ 2:11 Ralph Goody We had to move everything into AWS over time on our back end, mostly Python on the back end, though we've got some Go and other things, and then one of our challenges is we actually write native for every platform.
Joan Lasenby on Applications of Geometric Algebra in Engineering · Y Combinator
- ▶ 37:01 Joan Lasenby And you won't have to install anything because it's an online, you know, Python notebook. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 48:58 Joan Lasenby So people, you can kind of get code for MATLAB, for C, for, um, Python.
Jessica Brillhart, Immersive Director, on VR and AR · Y Combinator
- ▶ 5:08 Craig Cannon And CS people are all learning Python.
Crypto Investors - Linda Xie and Avichal Garg · Y Combinator
