I think just as those who have never had kids, those who have never done a (successful) startup do not understand the value of PG's words - the same way those who choose not to have kids do not understand the joy of (having) them. There is great wisdom in PG's essay, and it is not vapid or wishy-washy.

I am fully aware what Cargo.lock is. What I am surprised at is how many dependencies there are.

I love llm coding. I don't know what I am looking at here

What is happening.
No PRs? No Make files? I understand running tests and debugging is the workflow, but where do you log things? How do you orchestrate builds? Etc.

Well, the labels are fundamentally misleading: According to the author's data, "40 people get 0.75 slices each", whereas that 30 slice pie is labeled as "Hedge funders, fascist VCs, and cosmetic surgeons". Even if you take a charitable view to bundle every possible related occupation, I can hardly understand how labeling 40% of the US population as "Hedge funders, fascist VCs, and cosmetic surgeons" is accurate.
The US has a very progressive taxation system: https://taxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FedData...
For working and middle class households, the US tax burden is usually lower than in most European states, especially once payroll/social-insurance taxes and VAT are included. The US federal tax system is also very progressive by OECD standards, so upper-income households carry a larger share of federal taxes while the lower/middle bear less of the explicit tax load
Of course, wealth is not exactly income, etc

Even if it's 1-3 years, they are very likely to be ROI positive all in.

Right, especially given that majority of this investment is into GPUs and data centers that are amortized over a longer period of time. This is actually very hopeful.
Given how the curves look like in terms of ramping of spend, these are very healthy numbers.

Cool! Ideas: At least do an ensemble approach by queuering llms to explain what the symbols "are". It's so auto generated now. Link to wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation#Typography
Developers need to understand context too, not see a static page of "macOS: Use Character Viewer (Control + Command + Space) and search by name, or copy/paste."
The related to symbols make little sense. For example: https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/acute-angle Does not link to all other "angle" pages, but does to Aktieselskab?

I would also love to see a token budget use for the chats -- to know when the model is about to run out of context. It's crazy this is not there.

Thank you for sharing this and elaborating on what I've seen firsthand. Another thing we've noticed is that an increase in VO 2 Max, which does take quite a bit of time to change, makes a major difference.
Altitude is another factor, due to dry and colder air and lower oxygen -- a double whammy for asthma.
