Co-founder @ambrookag – we're hiring! Previously product @nytimes, @googledrive, @firebase. Engineering @thenext50us, @minimill_co, @columbia. he/him.
I'm always energized getting back to the office from a site visit – just this month our team went to Montana and Iowa to get to know our customers better and brainstorm about the future




speaking of lettuce, we started a ritual at @AmbrookAg called Bug Day, a weekly ritual for us to move fast while still shipping the little things that matter in the past 6 months, it's driven a crazy 56% reduction in reported bugs! plus, it's enabled deeper xfn empathy

America, the Beautiful Fresh off announcing $29 million in funding from Thrive & Dylan Field, Ambrook CEO Mackenzie Burnett joined me for a conversation on marrying American Dynamism with the American Dream. And we published her follow-up Founder's Letter. God Bless America.

Mackenzie is one of the most focused, quietly ambitious, and authentic people I’ve met. It seems they are building something very special at Ambrook. Long live the American Dream.

we sent some of our customers disposable cameras so they could document their lives for us through their own eyes, and just got the first film back. here's Double M Ranch in TX
nobody ever saw a lettuce party like this, believe me. complete success. best lettuce party of @techweek_. the energy, the people, the greens, absolutely unbelievable. big thanks to @BrooklynGrange and @nicholasgrows for supplying the best. everything’s lettuce.
Should I bring some local lettuce?
Two years ago, I spoke on a panel about building moats in the age of AI: start with solving real workflow problems with esoteric data, then layer in AI to speed everything up. @_brianshin’s latest post on Ambrook’s Vault is a great example of this playbook in action.
One of my favorite parts of working at @AmbrookAg is getting the whole team together for our team retreats. Love this retrospective of retreats 000-010 (that's 11, for those counting) ambrook.com/blog/company/t…




In the past year, @AmbrookAg launched out of a private beta and now serves thousands of farms and ranches across America. Building this company has revived my hope that the American Dream is possible. We *can* build a more profitable and resilient future for us all.

this is wild — kNN using a gzip-based distance metric outperforms BERT and other neural methods for OOD sentence classification intuition: 2 texts similar if cat-ing one to the other barely increases gzip size no training, no tuning, no params — this is the entire algorithm:
this paper's nuts. for sentence classification on out-of-domain datasets, all neural (Transformer or not) approaches lose to good old kNN on representations generated by.... gzip aclanthology.org/2023.findings-…
