The thing is that we all have different natural thresholds. This paper was eye-opening to me: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36799668/ Essentially some people will naturally delay sleep multiple hours after the last l

I tried all those things, none worked. You are assuming every brain is wired like yours. It has been proven multiple times that we all have different hormonal levels during the day based on the light patterns. Some people only produce melat

School starts way too early. That's something we need to change. I grew up in Europe and school started at 9AM. Which allowed for an 8AM wake up. Unlike here where my kids need to wake up at 6AM. Absolutely ridiculous

As a night owl who tried to fight it for too long my advice is don't change your natural circadian rythm. For some reason hustle influencer culture made us believe we should wake up at 6AM for a productive day. We all have 24 hours, ju

Why is it worth it? Why are you fighting against your natural circadian rhythm? We still all got 24 hours right? My background is that as the poster above, I have always been a night owl, with the ability to function and wake up earlier if

That's exactly why I used to love tech (and working in tech) 20 years ago and why I lost faith in tech completely. We went from a bunch of open protocols and decentralized web to a full closed garden gatekeeped by a couple mega compani

It's actually shocking they didn't do this before? Load balancing across multiple similar paths seems to be one of the first thing you would add once you hit some scale? I love how they congratulate themselves on that article (Goo

That's actually exactly how I feel about Anthropic. They play such a PR game, trying really really hard to be seen as the good guys. It feels as another satirical episode of Silicon Valley. It's very clear they are all money and p

This article is very long with almost no content. Except "spending more tokens is good". Obviously the author got something to sell us.

As a European, Democrats are absolutely not conservative from a European perspective. There are multiple dimensions but at least socially they push everything further to the left than in Europe. (Which is also in my opinion why they are los

How many non-tech people knew about Anthropic before? How many know about Anthropic since this episode? Still don't see it? Still don't see how the huge IPO coming up soon could profit from this? Yes, this was a brilliant PR move

I came to the same conclusion. Specifically Anthropic's whole PR has all been about danger, safety, doomerism all to make themselves indirectly more important and central to the debate. Calling meetings in Washington DC in order to let

Aaah the beautiful inability to see what is so obvious because your salary depends on it.

The issue is that it creates an incentive to maximize the cost of travel as the employee directly get miles based on the price. I see this all the time with employees/managers booking a 1000$ flight that will give them 10k miles instea

It has always been super difficult in tech to know who does what exactly. You can look at PRs or # LoC but we all know they are not very representative. Plenty of people have realized that and played the visibility/politics game. Espec

> It's an index. The conventional way to market weight is to use market cap. The float rules are mostly for technical reasons around transaction costs for very large indices. No the float rule is to avoid having to buy so much stock

I agree with you that this might be a good marketing move overall. And I don't really care about the chain of causation. The change of rules for the available float and the fact those funds will buy based on the market cap and not the

Both OpenAI and Anthropic were able to raise astronomical amount of cash on the private markets just weeks ago. I don't think that's what's driving them. I really think what is driving this is the need for insiders, employees

yes it will keep the grift going for a couple months due to the index artificial demand. Actually, SpaceX timed the unlocking of their shares to the timeline index funds will have to buy. Guess who will hold the bag when it's all going

by siren2026 4mo ago
Just the fact that they still calling themselves OpenAI is so grotesque. Similar to Google with "Don't be evil". At least they got the decency to eventually remove it when they realized they were actually doing evil.

Depending on how much that bubble will pop, all of those above might still be very right. We could very well go back to the 2021 valuations.

I wish Adyen was as good at marketing and hype as Stripe was. Stripe is really good at making themselves look like a way bigger deal than they are.

Those mega IPOs are the latest grift to unload overpriced shares before the whole AI tulip bubble explodes in everyone's face. The insiders know it, which is precisely why those IPOs are happening right now. Employees and VCs don'
