#ChatGPT knows to build a CPU and execute instructions on it. Follow along...

First create a new basic 8bit machine with 32 registers.

Free spreadsheet that spells out all the computation steps in an LLM (Deepseek, Llama, Queen). Shows FLOPs and memory. Estimates latency of prefill and decode token rate, cost and energy/tok and for any GPU (H100,B200,AMD) https://t.co/DoVyNIlRYv

Way too much heat and not enough light on Deepseek. Here is my contribution to light first, then some opinions

#ChatGPT and it is not just spouting some textual code, it is actually correctly executing code on this machine.

#ChatGPT so game on. Let's get it to write a more complex program for this machine. no sweat

#ChatGPT and executes impeccably, remembering the state of the memory in locations 100 and 200, and even helpfully reminding me that if the memory content was different, the result would be different

#ChatGPT now I keep going and ask it to do some more execution and use some other registers

#ChatGPT now it proceeds to nimbly reason about how this machine will execute code and actually do it!

#ChatGPT Now I proceed to ask it to create programs for this machine - and it does it just fine!

#ChatGPT knows to construct assembly code with this machine

@paulg Good advice. Did this through 2 recessions. At .com bust, had just raised funds, but cut costs and pivoted. At financial crisis, had revenue and got to break even with expansion deals and salary cuts (which were later mostly returned via profits) and no layoffs.

@balajis Huh? While it's an interesting intellectual exercise to measure cost of goods in Joules, this is just cost based pricing. Certainly not fundamental. Whither supply and demand?

[Prasad Raje @PrRaje]

@genehack Raise your hand if you did the pcb layout and placed the Z80 cpu and memory in your first computer, and it's only i/o was a UART driving a few leds. And you were in heaven when your assembly code lit them up.

@micahjay1 3. Manage the Board expectations by asking for a *walk away* price, NOT a *want this* price
4. Cultivate alternatives. Another deal or keep running the business
5. Keep running the business first, do not distract others in the team until the right point and need to know

@micahjay1 Good tips, mine:
1. Don't let the bankers run the negotiation. Only CEO can, even if in the background.
2. You can create or lose more wealth than all the years spent building the company. Talk to experienced founder for guidance (DM me if you are in this, done 2 exits)
