@MostlyMonkey Rick Rubin on David Senra’s podcast reminded me of this. In a lot of life, concentration can lead to outlier outcomes.

Some degree of risk management is required, however

@JayaGup10 Has to be @Bonecondor

@petergyang I think the issue is there’s a large swath of people that feel they can’t do that Europe or Asia lifestyle without the nest egg that the labs or FAANG offer

@teortaxesTex How can they, when they keep selling it al!?

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@TheStalwart While the models are objectively useful, it takes time to learn how to use them effectively. Most of these folks (esp at Amzn) are already stretched; taking more time to invest in learning, during work hours where your responsibilities are only increasing, is a tough sell

@peterrhague The biggest things killing small local business are commercial rent (which doesn’t seem to adjust down for a cities macro environment) and permitting

@simpsoka @Dimillian Stability when using Excel. Seems to make the files corrupt unless it’s actively open (without autosave)

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@dkundel @AbduRahmanSb Curious why not Atlas? Any plans for support?

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@jaminball The best folks to poll would be the ones at the hyperscalers actually selling capacity, no?

@dawanahidua @digitalix Idk, having an always on ambient ai device is something I’d use. Hate reaching for my phone. Glasses seem like the best medium for this though

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@MostlyMonkey Everything in moderation. If FIRE is forcing you to live on beans and rice, not worth it. If FIRE is forcing you to to stop eating steak every night, it’s worth it

It’s essentially a way to think hard about “is this lifestyle worth it”

@catehall @iankar_ % tax on every token

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@TheStalwart Is this any different than a random source found via a google search?

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@petergostev It’s tough to supply compute to both a revenue generating customer / competitor, and also fun your own internal efforts. In that sense, the private cos are better off since they aren’t beholden to quarterly reports

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@martin_casado @seyitaylor People get obsessed with output, and tokens/PRs/etc. are the most readily available, if fallible, indicators. It is starting to feel like token usage is getting gamified, though

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@karrisaarinen Hopefully they run with interoperability vs bundling. Feels like Codex threads are a wealth of context on what I’m up to. I’d love to reference those threads in a chat

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@andrewchen Spreadsheets are effectively point-and-click programming. The input-output is standard and inspectable no matter who is using the spreadsheet

So long as AI code gen is non deterministic, it’s hard to see it replacing Excel. It will augment it, but not replace it

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@emollick The models are at a place where, with the right workflow, we can accelerate a lot of white collar work.

The compute isn’t there yet though, and that is the chief risk with the bubbling anti-Datacenter sentiment

[Jeremy @JeremyVarkey]

@ArrowSynthesis @NostalgiaFolder Sterilized feels like the operative word. It feels like every cool new thing that gets launched gets immediately neutered now. Case in point: bing copilot when it was Sydney
