> The worse it performs, the more you pay. That’s a hell of a business model. Will users tolerate that for long? I mean, AWS seems to be doing fine with that business model.

Or, an (over)simplified way to put it: "All money is made up, but some are more made up than others."

When it comes to things like this, as cliche as it may sound, your best bet is to probably bring up those fears with your psychiatrist to evaluate the pros/cons with them. Like mos…

I think of it more from the perspective that, there are likely people with far less material wealth than him who have achieved much greater heights happiness and lead a more fulfil…

I don't mind the commute if I live close enough that I can just walk 30-40 minutes to the office, because then it serves as a good exercise (okay, fine. Grass-touching) that I don'…

I've honestly been surprised by how fast these "AIaaS" companies are competing to bring performance up and prices down. It really feels good to wake up the next morning to find out…

Is it just me or is the new embeddings model (v3 small) insanely cheap? It's coming out to be ~$0.02/mil tokens (if I'm mathing right), whereas other "embeddings API" services are …

Is it just me or is it kinda weird that a org mostly known for its AuthZ libraries is branching out into seemingly unrelated areas?

This is really interesting. For a project I was building I figured out that having a sort of "universal access layer" for all types of storage was a requirement, and this looks lik…

I mean also just adapting to rapidly changing environment and requirement is hard. It's a skill, just like anything else. Best not assign reason to why others have trouble doing a …

I think for mathematics a good suspect is probably the Riemann hypothesis, which many other results rely on. We don't know that it's "undecidable", but from what I've read it's pro…

For those interested in this topic, Ben Rich has a book of firsthand account called "Skunk Works" (this is mostly after the Kelly era). I personally found it to be a good read - a …

The way I see it is, it's not going to matter if I "care" about it in one way/outcome or another, so I just focus my attention on 1. How this could affect me (for now, the team see…

If the change in $MSFT pre-open market cap (which has given up its gains at the time of writing, but still) of hundreds of billions of dollars is anything to go by, shareholders pr…

So the discussions are definitely happening it seems: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1726345564059832609

This is a great point. I get that companies want to price their products in a way that they don't leave surplus value on the table (i.e. the more value a customer gets out of it, t…

I wonder if this is going to be like the SVB situation where a bunch of people are putting out fires behind the scenes over the weekend and then somehow on Monday we go back to bus…

Another good example he had brought up was with Arm China. Would love to see what he has to write about it on Monday's newsletter.

Experience heading a company that builds high performance AI, I presume. I reckon the learnings from that should be fairly valuable, especially since there's probably not many peop…
