Decided to put my heart and soul into my work, if to lose my mind in the process is what is required so be it rather than my sanity if I fail to acquire my desires all while my dreams hunt me as nightmares caused by a lack of dedication to no one’s but my own passions and desires
I had a young man stop me in the street when I was walking who said he followed my advice made $80,000 in sales but stopped because it wasn’t his passion.
He asked me “what should I do with my life?”
I didn’t have time to answer him then so I’ll say this:
Most people think following your passion means doing something you love, but that’s not true. It means loving the outcome enough that you were willing to endure suffering in order to achieve it.
And it’s usually because people don’t understand what the word passion means. Passion comes from the Latin root of passio, which means suffering and endurance. Ex: the Passion of Christ (his crucifixion story).
So of course the young man who stopped me didn’t love taking sales calls all day. Almost no one does. But no matter what your “passion “is you’re going to have to do way more stuff that you hate in order to pursue it. So thinking about the percentage of your day you dedicate to doing things you love is a very poor measure of whether or not you are pursuing your passion.
And I think simply clarifying that for people who are on their search for what they want to do with their life might make all the difference between picking a goal worth suffering for vs jumping from fleeting interest to fleeting interest until the work becomes hard and never really making progress.
If you aren’t willing to suffer for it, your love is weak.
Google's recent Gemini 3 release has shocked the world with undeniable proof that the TPU is a powerhouse AI chip, leaving many to wonder what lays in store for companies like @NVIDIA & @xAI.
Listen to @GavinSBaker lay out the exact strategy that Jensen Huang & @ElonMusk are going to roll out over the next 12 months to beat @Google at AI.
The world is in for a HUGE surprise.
----------
We'll see the first models trained on Blackwell in early 2026.
I think the first Blackwell model will come from XAI. And the reason for that is just, according to Jensen, no one builds data centers faster than Elon.
Jensen has said this on the record.
...
So if you're Jensen or Nvidia, you need to get as many GPUs deployed in one data center as fast as possible in a coherent cluster so you can work out the bugs.
And so this is what X AI effectively does for Nvidia because they build the data centers the fastest.
They can deploy Blackwells that scale the fastest, and they can help work with Nvidia to work out the bugs for everyone else.
So because they're the fastest, they will, they'll have the first Blackwell model.
...
We know that these Blackwell models are gonna be really good.
...
Then something even more important happens.
So the GB 200 was really, really, it was really hard to get it going.
The GB 300 is a great chip. It is drop in compatible in every way with those GB 200 racks. Now you're not gonna replace the GB 200s there.
Just any data center that can handle those, you can slot in the GB 300s, and now everybody's good at making those racks and you know how to get the heat out. You know how to cool them.
You're gonna put those GB 300s in and then the companies that use the GB 300s, they're going to be the low cost producer of tokens.
Particularly if you're vertically integrated.
If you're paying a margin to someone else to make those tokens, you're probably not gonna be.
I think this has pretty profound implications because I think it has to change Google's strategic calculus.

This was me after working 58 hrs in a 72hr period (10hr rest in 3 days) because of severe manpower shortage.
I almost collapsed mid-surgery and had to drink coke using NG tube as straw so I could stand long enough to complete the case.
Now I'm finding out I'm "useless" on X.
Botswana has declared a public health emergency as it faces a shortage of essential medicines and medical equipment. President Duma Boko has set out a multimillion-dollar plan and the military has been tasked to oversee an emergency distribution drive.

@SeverinoTheWolf Well put, unfortunately we have a poor understanding of what health pertains and even a less regarded agency towards a translation of mind.
To stretch your point, however, ones Agency-Arena relationship cannot be separated from the felt reality of the resulting experience.
@Lewis_Mulinda I see, that's with a framing of the econconimic environment as a condition of some negligence, and maybe that's a stretch, but well and good.
How do alternatives be made as more than just, as it seems, all but actualized from the observations you've had ?
