Whose f*cking permission are you waiting for?

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.

The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

Mental masturbation. When you tell other people your plans so you get approval and validation. But only do so to get dopamine. That then makes you less likely to do the task because you’ve already gotten rewarded from it. Better to stay quiet, do the task, then get dopamine.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

You’ll lose money chasing impact. But you won’t lose impact chasing money.

Money gives you leverage to do more.

Better to run a non profit like a business than to run a business like a non profit.

My For You page has now turned all into AI/vibecoding/SaaS shipping/end of humanity doom posting slop (which I guess is still an upgrade from seeing people getting murdered).

Anyway, I think it's pretty easy to get heavily influenced by this view of the world as you know it ending when you live in the algorithm bubble.

I see especially a lot of AI games and videos being posted with comments about how this is going to completely change those industries.

It's good to remember that if there is a group of people who absolutely despise (and rightfully so) AI, it's people who love games/movies/music etc.

I think the only thing AI is going to bring into this is just an unfortunate amount of brainrot videos, but for so many of these creative fields, the authenticity will be even more valuable.

When it comes to coding, I am not going to lie, it has been extremely impressive. I was able to make things which would have taken me months if not more to do manually within much shorter timespans.

But at the same time I am seeing all these posts of people setting up OpenClaw so it automatically posts for them on LinkedIn and cleans their email, peak creativity I guess.

Obviously same for trading. I see dozens of especially prediction market bots each day popping up. Goes without saying these actually don't make money; if they were making money, people wouldn't be posting about them on the internet.

We definitely do live in very exciting times, but the tools are only ever going to be useful for those who know what they want to do with them, which I guess is not that different from how the world works now, with you being actually required to learn things on your own and use your head instead of telling "make no mistakes" to a terminal.

dear schizos and conspiracy theorists. the good news is you were right. the bad news is you were right

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

A businessman once bought a massive diamond in South Africa, about the size of an egg yolk.

But to his disappointment, the stone had a crack inside.

He took it to a skilled jeweler, hoping for advice.

The jeweler examined it carefully and said:

“This diamond can be split into two perfect gems, each worth more than the original stone. But one wrong strike and it will shatter into worthless fragments. I won’t take that risk.”

The businessman traveled the world, showing the diamond to jewelers in many countries.

Each one gave the same answer: "Too risky".

Finally, someone told him about an old master jeweler in Amsterdam known for his golden hands.

He flew there the same day.
The old jeweler studied the diamond through his monocle and warned him again of the risk.
The businessman interrupted:

“I’ve heard that story before. I’m ready. Just do it.”

The jeweler nodded, agreed on the price, then turned to a young apprentice working quietly nearby.

The boy took the diamond, placed it on his palm, and struck it once, clean and precise.

The stone split beautifully into two flawless gems.

Without even looking up, he handed them back to the master.

Astonished, the businessman asked:

“How long has he been working for you?”

The old jeweler smiled.

“This is his third day. He doesn’t know the real value of the stone, that’s why his hand didn’t tremble.”

Sometimes the more we fear losing something, the less capable we become of doing what needs to be done.

Treat life’s challenges as if they are lighter than they seem, and your hand will stay steady.
