    I don’t think it would - tokens are so profitable and the race dynamics make the deployment timelines for most renewables untenable. Throughput for solar projects is very high and …

    It’s an industrial supply bottleneck and rollout timeline incompatibility rather than a Dr Doom Evil Genius Complex that prevents everyone from deploying solar. The race dynamics m…

    Aren’t month over month gains and losses aren’t particularly surprising nor noteworthy when you’re operating a leveraged fund? Shouldn’t one expect higher volatility, but also high…

    If you watch the Dwarkesh interview with Dario, he is extremely conservative with compute allocation as of early 2026, where Sam has been compute-pilled for at least 3 years[1] and…

    What’s the value of having a ton of silo’d accounts, especially for the use case demonstrated by the readme where there are multiple staging and production accounts?

    Right but their payback period is insanely short - a $5M GB200 NVL72 cluster is expected to generate $75M in revenue over 3 years for inference providers. That's a 3 month payback …

    I think Tibo was just keeping all else fixed and it’s an illustrative example rather than a perfect real-world trajectory.

    The chart makes sense and is describing the cumulative cost of a trajectory. Cache tokens are created when a trajectory’s prefix is used more than once. A larger pre-compaction con…

    RLHF is an increasingly small part of training though? From what I understand most of the capability gain is in RLVR

    I think money’s marginal utility just changes from a vehicle for material comfort to a way to keep score.

    Totally agree with you. K8s ends up being the simplest solution for a very complex problem

    Comment #48549052

    In addition to all of OP’s points, another reason k8s is getting popular is that LLMs have made them easier to use! It's reasonably well represented in the dataset and there are pr…

    This morning, while putting in daily contacts, I realized I was down to my last few pairs. Still standing at the bathroom sink, I used the ChatGPT app on my phone to voice-command …

    We can look to other forms of automation to get a sense of what to do. For example, planes largely fly themselves and a loss of life due to manufacturing errors from the manufactur…

    Yeah I think this is more coherent than people realize. Economically relevant knowledge work is things that humans find cognitively demanding. Otherwise they wouldn't be valued in …

    I wouldn’t really call it “DIY” per se, k8s has the resource API and you can create whatever scaling policies you want to with it, but I do see how that’s not obvious when it’s adv…

    Thinking in counterfactuals, how would the hype around Codex would be different if it was organic and because they had built a genuinely good product? Asking as someone who genuine…
