GOOG was a $20B company against a $10T S&P 500. SpaceX is going to be a $2T company against a $60T S&P 500.

Sure, it'll only be ~2% of the index if it opens where they want to. But in the downside case where it meanders long enough for significant amounts of its stock to make it in to public hands and…

I mean catch and release is better than being dinner, and the prevalence of fly fishing as a hobby goes a long way toward garnering public and financial support for restoration activities.

The Bar is also a not-great signal of actual ability. It is a great signal for 1) base knowledge and reasoning capacity and 2) sticktoitiveness / willingness to meet ~arbitrary expectations to w…

Internship etc. proposals miss that status quo job seeking is a parallel process for applicants. An internship model means each candidate can only “consider” one employer at a time. I think this is wh…

Implicit in the human to human to AI conversational chain is the second person’s assumption that the first person didn’t think to ask AI. The mere fact of asking another human a question (absent a str…

I don't know if it counts as a 'pixel' font, but https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ has hand-drawn bitmaps for a huge swath of unicode (and hand-hint…

DeepSeek claims to have trained on something like 2k H800, this is ~0.5k GH200 … it’s not nothing. Sure they’re not going to _serve_ it at scale, but that’s not the point? Also the line between “finet…

Because greater Los Angeles is the USA's (post-)WWII aerospace hub disguised as a megacity and cultural production center? All sorts of folks spent the 40s-00s (scientifically) blowing stuff up …

I’ve made the same argument On Here. Paying the full price (should!) make you consider you usage, pick the right model, delegate to cheaper/local providers, …. It makes you use the models the way…

I suspect subscription limits are quite a bit higher than the equivalent tokens their dollar cost could purchase. I similarly feel like I can get a lot done with a $20/mo Claude Pro subscription…

Some clarity about existing users/SDKs would go a long way. Otherwise this reads like "we just bought OpenAI's front door and we're EOLing it. Hopefully no one was planning to us…

One can't help but observe the contrast between counterparty behavior here vs. the crypto boom. A counterparty service had a secret worth 400K in-hand and just passed it back to the user. Meanwh…

You may want to take a look at `man ed`, `info ed`, or [0]. ed is many things, but verbose is not one of them. In particular, it's designed for the teletype era, when (a) the user would have a tr…
