A friend once told me that virtue is like going to the gym. You practice daily, start with smaller weights (virtuous acts), and review how well you did on a regular basis. You ask "am I getting better at this?" rather than "am I morally perfect?"

If you aren't on the level of the moral greats, you start small and try to build up, the same way you'd start by running a 5k before running an ultramarathon.

I hope others out there find this viewpoint as helpful as I have.

Thank you for the pointer!

Are these companies developing InfiniBand-class interconnects to pair with their custom chips? Without equivalent fabric, they can’t replace NVIDIA GPUs for large-scale training.

One fun trick for this is to commit to writing a check to a non profit you dislike / would be embarrassed by if you don't complete your task.

I wrote up a short post on large language model scaling laws. Let me know what you think!
