@Kogs_edits@FarzaTV@heyclicky when eventually it will be, things like these will add a lot of value.
right now it may seem like very expensive.
like memory was in the past.
huge tapes-> 1tb on a fingernail size chip. it was expensive then. not now. and ecosystem developed to make what's worth viable.
@vinaykesari@pHequals7 "constrained by the Indian forex architecture"
doesn't it incentivize them not to or delay the set up of local entity in India instead ?
@avipat_ but they are making it easier for non-techies to understand what it does, how they can benefit etc with this approach -->

sure, they could be copycat, be called out. but can't ignore where they seem to be doing better. after exploring both websites.
@petergyang Building my company from Amsterdam. Office is a 12 minute bike ride, kids in school down the street, dinner with friends two nights a week. Still shipping.
The tradeoff Americans assume exists mostly doesn’t.
@mcuban wouldn't they already be doing it as it's in their benefit anyway -
optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization
can't think of a savvy business not trying to do/doing it already
Almost three years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer.
After ~50 rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and a life-saving liver transplant, I am cancer-free.
This is my story:
I was 12 years old when I first heard the words "Fibrolamellar carcinoma", a rare and aggressive liver cancer that primarily affects children, teenagers, and young adults.
It is said that FLC occurs in about 1 in 5 million people.
We caught it early, at Stage 1, and surgeons were able to remove the tumor.
For the next 10 years, I was monitored closely through bloodwork, CT scans, and MRIs, and I showed no evidence of disease.
Life went on the way you hope it does after a childhood cancer. I genuinely believed it was behind me.
Then, in November 2023, 18 years after my original diagnosis, sudden and severe abdominal pain sent me to the emergency room.
What we discovered changed my life and the lives of everyone around me forever.
The cancer had come back, and this time, aggressively. Stage 4.
Multiple tumors throughout my liver and lymph nodes, and potentially my pancreas.
Surgery was ruled out completely.
I moved through clinical trials while the disease continued to progress.
The conversations with my doctors were not optimistic.
"There's not much we can do."
"We're looking to extend your survivability."
These were the worst of moments. I was newly married, with life turned upside down and options narrowing. It really felt like there was no hope.
That's when my brother found FibroFighters - a patient advocacy and education foundation for those impacted by FLC.
From the moment my family connected with Tom Stockwell and Dr. Paul Kent, the organization's medical director and one of the world's leading experts on Fibrolamellar, everything started to change.
They gave us direction, a plan, and a sense of possibility we had lost.
In no uncertain terms, I am alive today because of them.
Over the next 18 months, I underwent nearly 50 rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation.
Remarkably, the tumors began to shrink.
In October 2025, almost two years after the night I walked into that emergency room, I received news that was originally impossible: I was eligible for a liver transplant.
My sister-in-law, Luisa, stepped forward as my donor, an act of love and courage so profound that I am still, every single day, searching for words large enough to hold it.
In the same operation, surgeons performed a Liver Transplant and a Whipple procedure, a one-of-a-kind surgery.
I sit here today, seven months later, with no evidence of disease.
When you're discharged from the transplant floor of the hospital, you ring a bell. There's a plaque next to it. It says:
- I ring it once for myself, to commemorate my journey so far and to reflect on this moment.
- I ring it again for those who have supported me and been by my side.
- I ring it once more to honor my donor, who has given me a second chance.
- I ring it lastly to encourage all of those who are still waiting on the list.
This post is my attempt to honor the fourth ring, to help and encourage those still in need.
I'm raising money for FibroFighters, the foundation that saved my life.
They do extraordinary work for a disease that is still desperately misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated.
Your support helps them do the same for the patients and families going through what I went through two years ago.

If you can give, please consider giving. If you can't, please share my story.
Either one helps someone still in their fight.
Most importantly, to all those impacted by Fibrolamellar, there is reason to be hopeful.
I am proof.

@MrokGrok@levie but isn't electricity usage in a heavy metals industry a cost factor ? they won't assign same cost to the electricity consumed in their own sales office. the economics of sales would change if it cost the same electricity just to sale it.
@VijarKohli@levie it could be like UA/ad campaigns.
eg. advertisers send events data to facebook. facebook then uses that data to optimize their ad spend.
so OpenAI->enterprise->token usage-> openAi-> dashbaord for enterprises -> optimization (historical data+predictive analytics)
@levie LLM providers will eventually help enterprises solve this. they are in better position to monitor it, so have necessary data.
and as facebook event app gets feedback from advertisers about installs and optimizes campaigns, LLMs will provide dashboard of token economics
For everything we’ve seen about agents so far, it’s clear that they will make it far easier for people to get into previously extremely complicated fields. That will most certainly mean far more people will build software, explore creative work, research spaces they couldn’t do before, and so on.
Yet, equally, we’ve seen that people with experience in every one of those fields have a huge edge with the right judgment and historical context to leverage these tools in ways that exceed the output of the novices (if they choose to). They know when the agents are making catastrophic mistakes, can give the agents the right context to do the job better than they otherwise would have, and so on.
The combination of these two facts essentially means that we will continue to get the same lift as we’ve seen in any other technological revolution. More democratization, but similarly greater output from the experts. This then makes the experts continue to be in higher demand because over time our expectation for what we can get out of any field will just go up.
This is going to be true in essentially every important field. You’ll trust a lawyer using an agent for legal advice over someone who’s never had to experience how well a contract holds up. You’ll trust an engineer developing and running software over someone who’s never seen a production system. You’ll rely on the important instincts of a designer using agents over the average prompter.
The quality and volume of output we expect from these functions will certainly go up meaningfully, but the person with experience will always have a leg up, which is why the jobs don’t go away.
