"You can cry all right, but you can't quit."
In his final interview, 99-year-old Charlie Munger spoke about losses that cannot be undone. His nine-year-old son, Teddy, had died of leukemia.
"I cried all the time when my first child died."
Munger said you cannot bring back the dead or fix every tragedy. If you have to walk through the streets crying for hours, you can keep going that way.
He called it "soldiering through." His words offer reassurance when you're struggling: crying doesn't mean you've given up.
Decades later, he described the pleasure it had given him to watch doctors learn to save children with leukemia. He couldn't bring Teddy back, but he could feel joy for families who now had a chance.
His words are in the two-minute clip below.
Steve Jobs' hero btw...
"My whole life has been spent trying to teach people that intense concentration for hour after hour can bring out in people resources they didn't know they had."

I livecoded for nearly 5 hours on stream and converted a Qwen3 model to a Jev-like decision model!!
We also did a deep dive into tokenization, and how to hack attention masks and positional ids to make this model choice-order invariant.
It was beautiful, highly recommend
@IndianTintin_ There is no deep strategy or insight here.
It’s simple conclusion that ChatGPT could have given.
But output of media management itself will be limited - when everyday India faces deep economic divide, class variance.
He can still do actual work.
@surjitbhalla If Gandhis were not at helm corrupt ED and BJP machinery would have co-opted Congress, leaving no room for Indians to have an alternate voice
Your suggestion can be deemed malicious unless you can show who else has stood up to corrupt ED BJP machinery in India
Jev may have its (narrow) use cases but the hype you see around is the perfect representation of the fact the greatest part of the AI bubble don't know what is important and what is not. Jev is a minor thing happening on AI compared to all the rest, yet the hype exploded.
I'm very sensitive to this feeling, cause I've been there.
Someone does something cool, gets a lot of attention, and you're frustrated cause you already did it, a while ago.
It's not enough to do things, you must also tell people.
Maybe it's not fair, but it's true
@lacker Also experimenting w/ invoking Muse from VSCode-Codex to split workload.
E.g. Invoked Muse for code labeling job - as part of fine-tuning dataset creation in a codex session
Video created from Muse 😅
In 1648, Blaise Pascal proposed an experiment to test whether atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude. His brother-in-law, Florin Périer, carried a mercury barometer up the Puy-de-Dôme in France while another barometer was monitored at the base.
The mercury column fell significantly at higher elevation, providing strong experimental evidence that atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude and that the pressure is related to the weight of the atmosphere.
The experiment was an important confirmation of the Torricellian explanation of the barometer and helped undermine the traditional Aristotelian account of the vacuum, often expressed as horror vacui, or “nature abhors a vacuum.”
