I'm surprised people didn't mention this, but I find it to be unbeatable in these two areas: 1. Japanese community 2. Porn (good god, so much porn)

> The worse it performs, the more you pay. That’s a hell of a business model. Will users tolerate that for long? I mean, AWS seems to be doing fine with that business model.

Or, an (over)simplified way to put it: "All money is made up, but some are more made up than others."

When it comes to things like this, as cliche as it may sound, your best bet is to probably bring up those fears with your psychiatrist to evaluate the pros/cons with them. Like most things, there is most likely a tradeoff - but your do

I think of it more from the perspective that, there are likely people with far less material wealth than him who have achieved much greater heights happiness and lead a more fulfilling life. All that wealth, power, and influence, and for wh

I don't mind the commute if I live close enough that I can just walk 30-40 minutes to the office, because then it serves as a good exercise (okay, fine. Grass-touching) that I don't have to do separately in the day. But I realize

I've honestly been surprised by how fast these "AIaaS" companies are competing to bring performance up and prices down. It really feels good to wake up the next morning to find out your stuff is better and cheaper automatic

Is it just me or is the new embeddings model (v3 small) insanely cheap? It's coming out to be ~$0.02/mil tokens (if I'm mathing right), whereas other "embeddings API" services are typically charging at around $0.1&#

Is it just me or is it kinda weird that a org mostly known for its AuthZ libraries is branching out into seemingly unrelated areas?

This is really interesting. For a project I was building I figured out that having a sort of "universal access layer" for all types of storage was a requirement, and this looks like it's right up my alley.

I mean also just adapting to rapidly changing environment and requirement is hard. It's a skill, just like anything else. Best not assign reason to why others have trouble doing a thing (not just this) based on our own experiences (r

I think for mathematics a good suspect is probably the Riemann hypothesis, which many other results rely on. We don't know that it's "undecidable", but from what I've read it's probably true and (even more in

For those interested in this topic, Ben Rich has a book of firsthand account called "Skunk Works" (this is mostly after the Kelly era). I personally found it to be a good read - a mix between government politics, the fight for f

The way I see it is, it's not going to matter if I "care" about it in one way/outcome or another, so I just focus my attention on 1. How this could affect me (for now, the team seems committed to keeping the APIs up and

If the change in $MSFT pre-open market cap (which has given up its gains at the time of writing, but still) of hundreds of billions of dollars is anything to go by, shareholders probably see this as spending a dime to get a dollar.

This is a great point. I get that companies want to price their products in a way that they don't leave surplus value on the table (i.e. the more value a customer gets out of it, the more expensive the product gets), but the fundamenta

Another good example he had brought up was with Arm China. Would love to see what he has to write about it on Monday's newsletter.

Experience heading a company that builds high performance AI, I presume. I reckon the learnings from that should be fairly valuable, especially since there's probably not many people who have such experiences.

Honestly would be super interested to see what a hypothetical "SamAI" corp would look like, and what they would bring to the table. More competition, but also, probably with less ideological disagreements to distract them from bui

I mean, I don't see how anyone can expect him to come back after the public bridge burning and condemnation. I think it's reasonable to think that, if anyone were in his shoes, they, too, would feel too hurt/exasperated to go

Again, I'm not sure why you and the other person are just out for blood and keep trying to make it personal, but you can clearly feed it into NLP/ChatGPT and co and even the machines will tell you the actual wordings are aggressiv

The wording is very clearly hostile and aggressive, especially for a formal statement, and the wording, again, makes it very clear that they are burning all bridges with Sam Altman, and it is very clear that 1. it was done extremely sud
