History at Microsoft!
For 30+ years Chabad of Bellevue brought a Sukkah Mobile to visit Microsoft employees on Sukkot. Giving everyone a short window to shake Lulav and eat in the Sukkah.
This year is historic.
A permanent Sukkah throughout the entire holiday for everyone to enjoy!
Incredible work by JAMS and Chabad of Bellevue.

Hi @a16z I’m Perly,
Here’s my application to be your first ever cybersecurity fellow:
When I was 16 I made art all day and wanted to work in film
That all changed the day I watched a film about ww2 cryptography
2 years later I beat 800 industry professional at my first CTF
And then did it again beating 100 more at Amazon
I worked 5 jobs one summer to prove myself,
assisting phd research at Columbia, blockchain research for DHS while taking AI classes at Cornell
1 year later later I ethically hacked YC companies finding critical bugs exposing customer PII in 3 of those cases
Then in January, I graduated a year early and joined Ramp’s security team
Helping them push the boundaries of finance and AI securely
All while creating security content online to an audience of over 50k
I love security
But it’s changing, fast.
You guys are an organization that funds the frontier
That frontier has proven time and time again why they need better security solutions
And those solutions will come from practitioners
They just need the platform to dig in, but it doesn’t exist yet
Let’s build it
Announcing: the @a16z Ops Engineering Fellowship ⚙️
Because: operations (along with everything else??) is becoming something best approached with an engineering mindset.
We've been tracking this space closely, and are seeing a new kind of builder emerging inside companies... They connect internal systems, build agents, and redesign workflows across finance, sales, support, and everything between. @levie calls them "Internally deployed FDEs".. others say "AI Operations", "Agent Engineer"... I don't think anyone's agreed on the title yet, but there's something interesting going on - which to me means it's a good time to get the people who are at the frontier .. applying an engineering mindset to re-thinking how companies operate in an AI-native way - together.
So:
We're launching the a16z Ops Engineering Fellowship: bringing ~50 internally deployed engineers and AI-pilled operators to together over 6 weeks in San Francisco and NYC (+ group chats).
There's a killer crew involved already - Claire Vo (@clairevo) is joining as a Founding Fellow, as is Sebastien Goddijn (@sebgoddijn) - who built Glass at Ramp; Owen Williams (@ow) at Stripe; Ann Miura-Ko (@annimaniac) - deep in the trenches of AI-pilling operators via Floodgate; Brandon Gell (@bran_don_gell) - COO at Every; TK Kong (@tkkong) - who helped start Ramp Labs; Matt P (@MattnPortnov) - leading internal AI at Decagon; and several more we can't include in the announcement (but watch this space 👀)...
For now: Asking X
1- Who is leading "Ops Engineering" (or whatever you call it) at your company?
2- Who do you respect in this space, who should we know about, absolutely must have join the cohort and/or join us for a dinner ?

The real killer app at @OpenAI DevDay was the incredible sukkah on their rooftop.
So happy this happened!

“Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya said: When we would rejoice at the Simchat Beit HaShoevah, we did not see sleep in our eyes... We did not experience the taste of sleep, because we would doze on one another’s shoulders.”

We know what American Jewish material success looks like. But when a Jew walks down the street, what do you see?
What should you see?

He's doubled down on this. Adam wasn't the only person interrogated by Mostapha. Someone sent me the message he got as well - many hours after this whole affair began...
Adam, you still served in Unit 8200 during the explosive pager attack in Lebanon.
There's no way to know you weren't involved, since your activities are classified.

I've never seen a head that more desperately needed the spiritual alignment of tefillin. @DarioAmodei, let's wrap.
