Can't wait for the enshittification of Letterboxd.

Dear God, don't let Amazon do what it did to Goodreads here.

Yeah, I've heard of Taalas doing it. Not sure of others but I'm sure lots of companies are considering it, especially as we start to hit points of depreciating returns in training.

I just quit. A comically inept director who screamed at people and promotions given out for obsequiousness over impact. I'm guessing the second one will be more-or-less the same everywhere but I'd rather not deal with people I don't respect in the slightest.

Edit button exists but isn't clickable? Little boxes look exactly like Claude's UI.

Grade A slop.

That told me they wanted me to do this and I told them to pound sand. Doesn't help that their online reviews indicate its a sweatshop.

Anyway, they did layoffs like 2 weeks later so I guess I dodged a bullet there.

SpaceX and OpenAI? Market's gettin' frothy. Oh, this bubble is about to pop.

I always wondered why the equivalent of integrated mining didn't apply to LLM inference... now it turns out it does and there's a company making it fast and robust!

I really don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but it honestly feels like a pyramid scheme. The MBAs/consultants help out the MBAs/consultants. Their effectiveness isn't super important. It's very rare I see a coworker who is actually effective get promoted––it's always the ones who are loudest, steal credit from others, and who are really social/fun to be around.

Presumably the benchmarks? I'm also interested.

How did you get permitted without an inspection or adhering to code?

It's in the 98th percentile, lol. Yes, it's very high.

Didn't they do this before and brokers found a way around it?

California needs to just fully invest in nuclear. And regulate or use eminent domain to buy PG&E to socialize it. Costs would go down, executive pay would go down, reliability and issues related to forest fires would likely go down.

And they need to invest in better public transit. Imagine LA with SF-level public transit. Or SF with NYC-level public transit (or better).
