Cerebras is truly one of the maddest technical accomplishments that Silicon Valley has produced in the last decade or so. I met Andy seven or eight years ago and I thought they must have been smoking something - a dinner plate sized chip wi

Beans dude. Beans are absolutely delicious. They grow in the ground by accident. A good bean burger is way more appetizing than a biosludge patty. Unfortunately nobody is getting rich selling beans. But they are all we need here

Sama clocked this way back. He has used this exact analogy - that new GPT models will feel like incremental new iPhone releases c.f. the first iPhone/GPT-3.

Right now there are thousands of apps getting built with AI that are going to work surprisingly well, will get embedded into all sorts of fundamental processes — and will start to perform unacceptably badly in two or three years. God knows

This is cool! I have been really enjoying using Meshtastic and LoRa lately. It feels like a blessed relief from the toxic swamp of the regular internet. I love pinging stupid radio messages across the bay without depending on any third-part

Dude I have three thousand dollars net total in my bank account. I don't own a car or a house, don't have kids etc. I literally used to co-own 97 camry with bees in the trunk. I paid about $2500 for it. Hence why I say it costs th

Good point. You have to ask yourself — would you rather have a '97 Camry or a raman spectrometer and a pushbike ;) That said this is getting into Christmas present territory: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167319991806?_
