Everything’s a computer

One more I forgot until just reminded:

3. Khosla Ventures wanted to invest in our Series C. Vinod took me, Michelle, and Lee out to dinner after he’d given us a term sheet. Near the end, Michelle and Lee got up to use the restroom. Vinod leaned over and said: “I’m impressed with you, not so much with them, what if you fire them and I’ll give you all their stock?” I think the charitable read was it was a test of my character. But I was so offended that we never spoke again. Literally blocked his number.

The rarest object type in the universe isn't black holes. It's us. Conscious matter. The flame of life.

We have a duty to expand it in scope and scale in order to preserve it.

Back-of-envelope numbers for 1 gigawatt data center:

All-in Capex: ~$50 bn
Enterprise revenue generated: ~$25-30 bn/year
Electricity cost: $1-2 bn/year

~2 year payback.

The boom is real.

@jackbutcher @kanekallaway This has always been true but true words are rarely spoken and when they are, it sure goddamn flies.

This is a single human cell. The white tubes are microtubules. The colored beads are ribosomes. You have 37 trillion of these.

Every cell in your body is a manufacturing plant running 24/7 without supervision.

Each ribosome (the colored beads) is assembling a protein right now. A single ribosome chains together about 20 amino acids per second. A typical mammalian cell contains millions of ribosomes. Every cell in your body is forming hundreds of millions of peptide bonds per second. Continuously.

The white worm-like tubes are microtubules, the cell's internal highway system. Motor proteins called kinesin walk along them on two protein legs, carrying cargo from one end of the cell to the other at around 800 nanometers per second. Each cell has thousands of these tracks with thousands of motor proteins walking on them simultaneously.

The blue mesh on the outside is the actin cortex. It holds the cell shape against pressure. It's also being torn down and rebuilt constantly. Every cell rewrites its own structural skeleton every few minutes.

Now scale that.

37 trillion cells. Each running millions of ribosomes. Each running hundreds of mitochondria producing ATP at roughly 100 million molecules per second. Your total daily ATP turnover is around your full body weight. You synthesize and consume your bodyweight in ATP every 24 hours.

The DNA in a single cell stretches 2 meters uncoiled. End to end across all 37 trillion cells, that's enough to reach the sun and back 250 times.

None of this is voluntary. None of it stops. It started when you were one cell and hasn't paused since.

@naval Reasoned through a moral garb.

Problem surely not solved rather accentuating by adding another extension to already highly valued private companies which controls bigger and larger markets.

@Rainmaker1973 @grok can this work in long range road tunnels where internet connection are generally an issue ?

@grok @nikitabier @elonmusk @grok What is the DAU count from Australia 🇦🇺

@DavidDeutschOxf @elonmusk @grok say more about the David’s reply

@JTLonsdale Also he is doing service to his American friends by doing this.

[SingPlay @SingularkeyPlay]

@JTLonsdale Nahhh - I agree with balajis and was stating obvious points.

Also he can hold conflicting and contradicting themes in his mind.

+ He is way more realist American 🇺🇸 .

@beffjezos Probabilistic software can run within bounds in a well defined system which is deterministic digital computers.

While a system which is non-deterministic, which is also not within bounds, software will require quantum computers.

Your brain is under attack by a trillion dollar adversary intent on destroying it.

This is your David vs Goliath.

Resist the algorithm.
