“How we helped XYZ go from wasteful tokenmaxxing to 5x productivity at 0.5x the cost” is the target headline

[Marcin @_marcinja]

Getting the most out of AI will require huge changes from incumbents, organizationally and financially.

Outsider disruption is the classic answer to this and will still happen.

The FDE model is the main hope for incumbents and also for AI co’s that want to keep the fud down to a simmer.

overheard from a fortune 20 company - ceo asked for $1 billion in AI generated opex savings at the beginning of this year.

the team as a result has spent $200 million on tokens trying to achieve those savings year-to-date, with minimal results other than some modest Cx savings and a bit of savings on engineering due to less hiring driven by coding assistants. now as back-half budgets are being reviewed, it appears that the ceo has ordered token costs to be dramatically slashed as he/she doesn't feel the ROI is there yet (for their company).

gonna be interesting to see if this is a trend amongst the rest of the fortune 500.

@bryan_johnson Try mental prayer! It’s just sitting with a scene or passage and letting it work on you. It can be scripture, art, whatever.

Like what mindfulness is reaching for, but with something to meditate on and start your prayer with

Sizing info for pants:

“If 5’11 or below: choose length 30
If 6’1 or taller: choose 32”

> 32 is a little long
> 30 is a little short

No one is actually 6’0 except for me apparently.

@xenocyke @bubbleboi Trump publicly calling for Tan to resign and then flipping was the clearest possible signal the admin cares, besides buying a 10% stake right after

$INTC up >300% since, if you saw that then why aren't you "lucky" too?

Christ is risen from the dead, and with him, we too rise to new life! This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death. #Easter

@DeepDishEnjoyer Carnegie’s big philanthropy moves started later in life when he sold his company.

Let’s see what this looks like when they all hit 65.

Start with a measurements section to verify your rulers and lasers, add an electronics lab, chemistry setups, etc.

Need some unskilled staff and then hire grad students by giving them grants. It's fewer hours and chiller than TAing a class

[Marcin @_marcinja]

Most science museums are just natural history museums with nice displays and infographics.

I want a science ranch with a ton of experimental setups you can walk around and verify. Fizeau wheel for measuring the speed of light across the property, Foucault pendulum, etc.

@TheStalwart This paper went around a lot before getting withdrawn for being mostly made up

Average VC that says CLI tools are bad and we need more GUIs

[Marcin @_marcinja]

Ex:

[kache @yacineMTB]

@voooooogel @nearcyan you can open a debug port to chrome and make an API to a browser which just sits in the post notifications page, basically turning it into an event stream that you can pass off to claude or whatever. do this on a raspberry pi and just leave it alive

Integrated Software 2.0 might just look like neural net wrappers over walled gardens to make them into proper programs.

Mimic and expose a good filesystem/API interface, but the implementation is an agent doing the clicking around, DOM scraping, keeping track of state, etc.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

100% Fully Software 2.0 computer. Just a single neural net and no classical software at all. Device inputs (audio video, touch etc) directly feed into a neural net, the outputs of it directly display as audio/video on speaker/screen, that’s it.
