Great response, we’re like 98% aligned at a high-level. :) These next few years will be interesting.

Uhm, you actually just proved their point if you run the numbers. For simplicity’s sake we’ll assume DeepSeek 671B on 2 RTX 5090 running at 2 kW full utilization. In 3 years you’ve paid $30k total: $20k for system + $10k in electric @ $0.20

We probably work at the same company, given you used MAANG instead of FAANG. As one of the WAU (really DAU) you’re talking about, I want to call out a couple things: 1) the LOC metrics are flawed, and anyone using the agents knows this - eg

‘Desirable difficulty’ is the research term. To solve your problem, first understand your users need a mindset change. We need to connect their action to a “satisfying feeling” as you said. You want your users to be like weight lifters. No

Did you try scipy/numpy or any python library with a compiled implementation before picking up Go?

Immediately thought DDD too! DDD suggests continuous two-way integration between domain experts <-> engineers, to create a model that makes sense for both groups. Terminology enters the language from both groups so that everyone can

I oversimplified. :) Main gist is that SERPs are personalized and based on your targeting profile which makes the results non-deterministic, as we're experiencing. Google is the only entity who will ever truly know.

Google SERPs are personalized. Likely OP is a Midjourney user which is recorded in his targeting profile. When OP searches for Midjourney as a Midjourney user, Google’s algorithm infers he might want to consider an alternative because why w

Yes, I read your entire article and that section, hence my response. :) 1) Help me understand what you mean by “pure compute providers” here. Who are the pure compute providers and what are their financials including pricing? 2) I already r

Thanks for sharing! It's worthwhile to note that https://github.com/deepseek-ai/open-infra-index/blob/main/20... shows cost vs. theoretical income . They don't show 80% gross margins and there

Can you link to any sources that support your claim?

Thank you for narrowing your claims, you might want to update your post at the top of the thread to call out your ADV/ACV assumption. I appreciate all the experience and advice you’re offering on this thread! Take my feedback as a nitp

Correct. Kinda like it suddenly came up when Facebook started showing memories of dead friends and relatives to people that didn't want it nor enjoyed it. There's many instances of humanity plowing headfirst into some technology t

Can you talk through specifically what sprint goals you’ve completed in an afternoon? Hopefully multiple examples. Grounding these conversations in an actual reality affords more context for people to evaluate your claims. Otherwise it’s ju

So, instead of engaging in a discussion, and sharing your knowledge, with someone genuinely interested in learning from you— to improve upon the seeming misconception that bothers you — you link to paper and do nothing to correct your own p

In what specific way did this post misrepresent or abuse the Dunning-Kruger concept? (Btw, the graph used is the same one used on the Wikipedia page for DK.) If you’re able to explain what you understand to be misrepresented, you can clear

Yes, correct, you’re restating the “risk/uncertainty” in the form of various concrete hypotheses. :) Within the context of the original discussion around whether self-driving is here, today, or not, I think we can definitively see it’s

Analyzing Alphabet’s capital allocation decisions gives you all the evidence necessary. It’s safe to assume that a company’s ownership takes the decisions that they believe will maximize the value of their company. Therefore, we can look at

You’re narrowing the market for self-driving to the ridehail market in the top 10 US metros. That’s kinda moving the goal posts, my friend, and completely ignoring the promises made by self-driving companies. The promise has been that self-

It’s not even here in the product/research sense. First, as the author points out, it’s better characterized as operator-assisted semi-autonomous driving in limited locations. That’s great but far from autonomous driving. Secondly, if

Presumably you read the section where Brooks highlights all the forecasts executives were making in 2017? His NET predictions act as a sort of counter-prediction to those types of blind optimistic, overly confident assertions. In that conte

In what sense is self-driving “here” if the economics alone prove that it can’t get “here”? It’s not just limited coverage, it’s practically non-existent coverage, both nationally and globally, with no evidence that the system can generaliz

Thanks for linking me to the ICAP framework. ICAP and your “I do something else to learn” methodology generally jives with the same thing I happened upon by chance after spending a lot of time trying to “learn how to learn” the best way; la

Huh, thanks for that explanation, I didn't consider what happens when a grid generates excess energy that has nowhere to go. Makes sense that bad things would happen once you've exceeded your storage capacity, hence the real-time

Do you have any book recommendations to help understand the electrical grid and why you can’t just start pumping electricity into it? I find these type of systems fascinating.

Relax, you're on the internet not in a courtroom. u/sandspar made a claim, and it's well within reason to point out that their claim has no basis in the data they referenced.

You don’t provide any data to support your premise. There’s an intervening 10 years between acceptance into medical school and showing up at a surgery table. Show the connection between MCAT scores and surgery outcomes.
