Imagine having someone, anyone, that you felt comfortable sharing your feelings with. Amazing.

I've known my best friend for 50 years now, literally since kindergarten. One person. I probably wouldn't talk about my top 5% of private feelings with him, not sure why. I've been married 28 years now. She doesn't understand me at all, and doesn't want to see or hear any "weakness" from me. So what the f@#$ is an emotional support network? Science fiction, I'd say.
Amdahl's law doesn't talk about throughput, but latency. You can absolutely get 32x more throughput by having 32 parallel backends. Each individual write won't be 32x faster e2e, but that's not really the point.

Even the idea repulses me.
This has been a real challenge in the early startup setting where everything is built to a prototypical standard with the belief that you’re basically buying time until runway is no longer a problem.

And whatever truth there is in that, it’s all out of balance and lacks pragmatism. Sometimes the pragmatic choice isn’t to keep slapping shit together, it’s to step back and see what the big picture is. Even if you don’t have PMF yet, you need to design for something on the off chance it succeeds or you need to pivot.

And it’s not even a pure tech issue, it can be as simple as thinking how a team of engineers could contribute, how you could onboard someone new and have them up and running quickly, what happens if you fire someone who kept everything in their head…
I don't need emotional support to get by, but society can expect nothing for free from me.
The Times also includes this unusual sentence. "There is no new intelligence behind the agency’s shift, officials said."

These loans have nothing to do with twitters value though. The question is will musk pay the debt off, not whether twitter will become more valuable. Right after the deal was done investors wondered musk might just let the loans default and give twitter to his creditors, but now that it seems so important to him politically he is less likely to do that.
I meant that it takes a long time to build and costs too much to build. But like another commenter said, externalities and the implicit subsidies that other modes of transportation get make it a difficult comparison.

Cleaner forms of transportation should be subsidized. The fact that it costs me $8 to cross the Bay Bridge into SF but costs $10+ round trip on BART is a shame. Especially when you have two or three people in the car.

I think there are kind of three tiers of financial services:

1. Payday loan tier. It's very extractive and uses lots of fees and interest because getting a cut of whatever money is there now is all that matters.

2. "Normal" tier. There basically aren't fees for typical services, everything is paid for indirectly via interest rates and card fees or marketing other services. The banks I've used since the 2000s have all been like this.

3. "Premium" tier. At this level there's usually a fee to keep out the "riffraff," like with most AmEx.

Do some normal tier providers have fees? I've seen credit unions where there are fees if you don't meet some threshold of services or usage. Or with some non CU accounts where there's a fee if balances don't stay above a certain level. But that's about it. I've also seen I think once or twice set ups where you had to opt in to things like free overdraft protection, but could get charged for it if you don't. But that seem like the fringes, not the norm.

I feel like "beginner" is at least as insulting, especially if it turns out not to be accurate. But the point is well taken - I tend to overthink this instead of just making simple changes.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around someone someone in business not understanding charging fees.

You charge fees to get money.

Banks are there to make profits.

You say that banks don't make much money off of it, but maybe your idea of "much money" and mine are different.

In my country, it is reported that bank fees make up approximately 5% of bank revenue, and I'm reasonably sure we have less fees than others. I don't know what business or country you're in, but there's a pretty good guess your country takes in more money in fees, and earning a marginal 5% on anything is not chump change.

May I humbly suggest that your premise is wrong. They ARE significant sources of revenue and profit and banks charge them because they are in the business of generating profits.
iSins and iVirtues
Why are we even picking 'sides' in what should be an objective scientific investigation? Who actually benefits from politicizing a virus's origin? The only winners in this false dichotomy are those who profit from keeping us divided - while the truth, and our ability to prevent future pandemics, gets lost in the noise.
The poor readability bit is quite interesting to me. While the model does develop some kind of reasoning abilities, we have no idea what the model is doing to convince itself about the answer. These could be signs of non-verbal reasoning, like visualizing things and such. Who knows if the model hasn't invented genuinely novel things when solving the hardest questions? And could the model even come up with qualitatively different and "non human" reasoning processes? What would that even look like?

That's what they claim at least in the paper but that particular claim is not verifiable. The HAI-LLM framework they reference in the paper is not open sourced and it seems they have no plans to.

Additionally there are claims, such as those by Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang on CNBC 1/23/2025 time segment below, that DeepSeek has 50,000 H100s that "they can't talk about" due to economic sanctions (implying they likely got by avoiding them somehow when restrictions were looser). His assessment is that they will be more limited moving forward.

I know a guy who's grandfather died and left him the contents of his basement. After his grandfather passed, he drove several hours to the home and found a floor to ceiling collection of comic books going all the way back into the golden age of comics - thousands upon thousands of books.

He rented a moving truck, and put them all in some storage units closer to where he lived. It turns out he had also recently lost his job, and so with nothing else to do, and the impending need for some money, he started cataloging and selling them on eBay, bootstrapped his way into opening a small comic book business, then opened a larger store selling other things, which turned into a small chain of stores selling all kinds of hobby and collector stuff in the local area.

When I decided to offload my small childhood collection, he made me a generous offer for it which enabled me to make rent month. As he was looking through what I brought he told me this story, I asked what happened to the original collection. He said he now had a warehouse full of inventory of people's collections like mine, and that he just continued to move them via his stores, shows, and eBay. It had made him a steady living.

What you do with these things very much depends on you and an ability to find positivity in the situation. A literal library's worth of books is not an easy thing to handle for certain. I grew up in a family printing business so I have a pretty reasonable idea of how difficult it is to handle and store 40-50-60k books so I'm not without sympathy. But there is often value in these kinds of things.
I mean, I talk to friends and family about stuff that's going on. But I don't turn to them for actual advice because usually my own advice is better

Deporting violent criminals now constitutes "attacking the blue states?" Most of the specific apprehensions are in so-called "sanctuary cities" the preponderance of which are located in blue states. That these violent illegal immigrants live in sanctuary cities is not a mystery, that these cities are in blue states is not a mystery. That you believe this is anything other than protecting lawful citizens and the government doing the job it's supposed to is baffling.

> As I understand it, Twitter is breaking even given all expenses

What I've heard is the opposite, that the cost of servicing interest on the loans they now have exceeds 100% of their total revenue.

(Not profit, revenue: even if they cut absolutely every other cost to zero they'd still be losing money).
Wait. No <script> element? An elephant went missing!
Beyond application performance, I've also found a non-trivial drag from the complexity of scaling Rails horizontally. Databases need connection pools, which must be external. Processes vs threads ratio need to be tuned and retuned and the application evolves. Deployments take longer to fully roll out a hundred containers. It's a bunch of tiny bits of complexity that add up.

Moving to a fully concurrent runtime (rust, golang, JVM, beam, etc) suddenly makes so much of that no longer a concern.

It's fun to compare it to "A blog post with every HTML element" [1][2], which gets at a (very!) similar thing but in a very different way. This post primary shows, and is a little more chaotic (meant positively!) whereas the other post is much more prose and explanation heavy (also good, but very different).

Oh dear
I've always been leery about outrageous GPU investments, at some point I'll dig through and find my prior comments where I've said as much to that effect.

The CEOs, upper management, and governments derive their importance on how much money they can spend - AI gave them the opportunity for them to confidently say that if you give me $X I can deliver Y and they turn around and give that money to NVidia. The problem was reduced to a simple function of raising money and spending that money making them the most importance central figure. ML researchers are very much secondary to securing funding. Since these people compete with each other in importance they strived for larger dollar figures - a modern dick waving competition. Those of us who lobbied for efficiency were sidelined as we were a threat. It was seen as potentially making the CEO look bad and encroaching in on their importance. If the task can be done for cheap by smart people then that severely undermines the CEOs value proposition.

With the general financialization of the economy the wealth effect of the increase in the cost of goods increases wealth by a greater amount than the increase in cost of goods - so that if the cost of housing goes up more people can afford them. This financialization is a one way ratchet. It appears that the US economy was looking forward to blowing another bubble and now that bubble has been popped in its infancy. I think the slowness of the popping of this bubble underscores how little the major players know about what has just happened - I could be wrong about that but I don't know how yet.

It's a little button counter in an iframe that you can embed on your website. It also looks great next to 88x31s.. I have one in my footer https://varun.ch/

FWIW, much value in talking about intense and traumatic experiences is in discovering that you're not alone in general, and often not even alone among your peers. Life can indeed go pretty smoothly for some people, at least for long stretches of time, but many more people than you might realize have experienced the kinds of things you describe.

Being open about it helps each of you spot the other amidst the crowd, provide a sense of community and comraderie that it sounds like you might be lacking. Not only do you both (et al) get helped by it, the experience of helping them can often provide yet another inspiration for feeling less burdened and alone.

Maybe look up some intimate group talk opportunities. These could be informal men's groups, therapy- or church- mediated groups, or 12-step groups (like maybe CODA, in your case). These are almost always private opportunities to achieve what I mention above, where nobody outside the group is going to hear a whiff of what you share, and many of them are free or reasonably priced. And they're lurking all over the place. If you're feeling as defeated and hopeless as you sound, it could make a difference.
It's amazing how different the standards are here. Deepseek's released their weights under a real open source license and published a paper with their work which now has independent reproductions.

OpenAI literally haven't said a thing about how O1 even works.
Maybe so, but I think the loans being sold have extra levels of credit protection and the banks are keeping subordinated tranches.
I like to talk to my friends about many things, my emotions just do not include that and at no point in my adult life have I ever felt any inclination to do so.
I love the idea of a completely open protocol that thwarts spam by being unable to post any text at all, only tiny predefined pictures, aka emoji.

The obvious abuse will be, of course, pumping some counters to ridiculous values, making them useless as a measure of readers' reaction. Though it can be lighthearted fun in the spirit of the Web form 1994, I suspect that implementing caps could be useful.

Less fun could be posting tons of negative emoji (anger, crap, etc). Some site owners will limit the set of allowed emoji to only positive reactions, as seen in some large Telegram channels currently.
We've been seeing success using it for LLM-as-a-judge tasks.

We set up an evaluation criteria and used o1 to evaluate the quality of the prod model, where the outputs are subjective, like creative writing or explaining code.

It's also useful for developing really good few-shot examples. We'll get o1 to generate multiple examples in different styles, then we'll have humans go through and pick the ones they like best, which we use as few-shot examples for the cheaper, faster prod model.

Finally, for some study I'm doing, I'll use it to grade my assignments before I hand them in. If I get a 7/10 from o1, I'll ask it to suggest the minimal changes I could make to take it to 10/10. Then, I'll make the changes and get it to regrade the paper.
Because the actions are against convicted violent criminals, with "red notices" as a priority.

> In all of these situations, you can figure out ways to get through them alone

That is not the point.

The point is that an emotional support network will help you in these situations and suggesting that someone build one is not "infantilizing" them but giving them valuable tools.

I could care less if you find one personally valuable or not (I don't have trouble imagining that there are people for which they are not), but I object to your generalizations and implication that men who pursue them are somehow lesser.
If they aren’t growing, and barely breaking even, the chances of going into the red are not low. Idk if the bonds have a rating but I don’t think X would have a AAA rating right now?

If it’s really worth 95%, it’s only held up by the political situation and investors’ general Elon bubble.
I don’t know that there’s a single answer, but the replies here are in the neighborhood. Fees of some kind are the only revenue model, so you pick the ones that work for your use case.

Two other thoughts, one speculative/general and one where I know of what I speak:

If you make most of your income off a small group of your customers, then it’s wise the charge some nominal fee on the other customers to get them to breakeven unit economics. (That holds in most any industry, not just finance. Consider the endless think pieces on the problems caused by a high proportion of free users at zoom and Dropbox.) No, you’re not “making big profits” from them, but the point is to make sure your customers aren’t adversely selected. That can mean, “let’s still make something off the people who pay their credit card bill every month.” It can also mean, “overdrafts create manual work in our back office; let’s make sure they pay for themselves and aren’t correlated to our profit margin on the real business, which is lending.”

Area I know more about: for credit cards in particular, don’t underestimate what the annual fee does for the issuer. The psychology of it for the consumer is huge. People will cancel accounts they’re not using, sure. That helps, because forcing unused accounts closed can draw regulatory headaches. But consumers also consider the card more valuable and may be more loyal to it if it costs as much as their Netflix subscription each year. The issuer is making money on other sources—interest, interchange, travel portals, etc. The fee is, for the right type of customer, a kind of marketing device.

It was never about eggs.

I think that it's partly the manifestation of a cultural trauma response to Obama's election, and mostly white, mostly rural Americans feeling alienated and misdirecting their anger at the effects of globalism and their loss of demographic and cultural hegemony. That aspect of it, at least, was well documented as far back as 2016. Now we've got Musk and the whole neo-reactionary dark enlightenment set cranking it up to 11, because they see a path to power.

A lot of the crisis is manufactured. Remember we live in a post-truth age - many people construct their subjective realities from platforms which have been feeding them conspiracy theories and right-wing propaganda for years. They believe Biden created COVID with the CCP. They believe hordes of rapists and killers have been swarming over the southern border. They believe the purpose of DEI and "wokeness" is white male genocide. They have been convinced that America is in the same position that Germans believed they were in was prior to the Nazis, having soaked up so many neo-nazi memes and so much agitprop specifically to make it seem reasonable when the "Nazis" do take over.
