Good morning baby!

Ran the full Gemma 4 family on AMD Strix Halo. The E2B hits 3382 t/s on prompt processing and 109 t/s generation at 2.9 GiB. It also scored 59/59 on LeetCode hard. Fastest model I've tested on this hardware.

Just published my new book "Mastering AWS Cost Management"!

After helping dozens of organizations optimize their cloud spending, I've created a practical guide for both finance and technical leaders.

I worked at Brex between 2019 and 2022. Hard to imagine a company better suited to the challenge of this week.

1. Years of investment in automated customer onboarding and risk management. Bringing on thousands of corporate customers in a few days can break you if you aren’t ready for it.
2. Big balance sheet. Finance team with deep networks in capital markets. If any startup can wrangle large amounts of liquidity right now, it’s them.
3. Built their own financial infrastructure from the ground up. Makes it possible to create new structures and products without waiting on third parties.
4. @pedroh96 @hdubugras

A summary of the changes made by @brexHQ in the last 36 hours. The latest one: Brex Cash now has $2.25M FDIC insurance, more than any bank. And we’re not stopping, every day bring something new. If there’s anything I can help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

@50amppro My wife has emailed you repeatedly at help@ email address and we keep getting told someone is looking into it, it'll be escalated, or for the last couple of weeks:

silence.

Looking at twitter, you guys have a lot of excuses. What is really going on?

A man went into an Aurora, Colorado, Waffle House three times in one day to order takeout, but was rejected each time for refusing to wear a mask. After the third rejection, he slapped a cook in the face and then opened opened fire. #coleg
