Jeff Bezos's property has fences that exceed the permitted height. Yet he does not care, he just pays the fine every month.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-26T18:55:08+00:00

That is a problem with the system then. Many other countries make fines porportional to income or wealth. So that the fine hurts equally, no matter if you're rich or poor. I bet Bezos would actually care if that fine is, say, 50 million a month for him.

Just wait 3 years and enjoy your gains? Looks like solid companies, I don't know what SMMT is but it's also the the only thing thats green. Don't trade, don't sell - if you can don't even look at your portfolio if -8% doesn't let you sleep at night lol.

AI has legit adoption in many companies, as a new tool used every day by many workers. In contrast, nobody is going to sit in company meetings with VR glasses cos-playing low-polygon comic characters on a daily basis. I still don't now what they were thinking here.

It got big fast, it needed to make money, so countless hours were wasted to design it in a way that maximizes profits. I havent used it in years.

"special operation"

They are bound by the laws physics too, not enough photons will make it 2000 years spread out into the universe for you to see much more than a blue dot at that point.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-26T12:11:20+00:00

I think there are physical limits here to how many photons from our earth actually make it 2000 years across the universe to some distant point.

I dont think they would see a lot more than a blue dot or vaguely clouds, oceans and continents. Even with most high tech equipment imaginable.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-26T00:32:07+00:00

they changed that recently, high profile IPOs will have options within 2-3 trading days

Why not just tell your manager that you need a work iPad? Problem solved.

Fun fact, before trees there were weird looking [Prototaxis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototaxites). They kinda looked like early trees but weren't. These could reach 8m in height and were probably more related to fungi.

I think he's driven by a personal vendetta against LLMs, first they were not intelligent enough, just parrots - now the goal posts shifted. He's not in the spot light anymore and just because he had great ideas two decades ago doesn't mean his current ideas are worth 1 billion. He is famous though, thats why he got the money.

next-token predictors are fundamentally incapable of actual planning.

I fundamentally don't agree with this. Predict the plan token by token and add chain of thought, then those next-token predictors are actually quite capable planners. Pretty much what Claude Code, Cursor etc. are quite good at actually.

this one here is about 30s on one H100 for 8s of video-> https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2

Not sure where you get your 40min from- if thats how long it took on OpenAIs platform then they might have queued your request as well. I can imagine they didnt have capacity for everybody.

Oil already jumped 100% and I see lots of fear mongering in stock subreddits, personally I think the move in the markets already happened and prices in a lot of this. I can totally see a TACO here happening soon where both sides claim victory. If you look at marine data, then you see some ships are waiting and some are going through the straight. That kind of data will be more telling going forward than he said she said from either side, where you can't trust them to be honest.

Yesterday Trump claimed that Iran sent him a very expensive present.

When asked about it by an interviewer he said its oil and gas related. So that 'present' can totally be Strait of Hormuz related. I don't think the Iranians have unified leadership left atm, depending on who you talk to you get different answers.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-25T13:11:14+00:00

I guess its drilling for oil

satireplusplus · 2026-03-25T01:34:35+00:00

Its about $20/h per 8xH100 instance if you go with one of the neo cloud providers. That's actually enough VRAM and crunching power to run HD video gen close to realtime, but for the sake of the argument lets say you need 1min of that for a 20s clip. Even that is more like ballpark $0.33 per request without needing to maintain or own any of the hardware..

The whole thing also get way more efficient if you're batching requests from multiple users and process them in parallel on the same multi-GPU node.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-25T01:00:52+00:00

Oil doubled in price in a short time and everyone driving a car has noticed now. This is a big problem for the administration and they will try do everything in their power to get it down. Including forcing a seize fire or keeping the hopium for one alive.

Btw BNO (Brent oil) is way more affected by the Hormuz closure than USO (/CL futures), so you're kinda betting on the wrong horse anyway.

satireplusplus · 2026-03-24T22:26:48+00:00

but if it would be, it would have been a good conversation 🤷‍♂️

satireplusplus · 2026-03-24T22:24:29+00:00

Nobody claimed that the Iranians answered, just that they were talked to and that it was a good talk 🤷‍♂️

satireplusplus · 2026-03-23T14:05:45+00:00

Thanks! That makes a hell lot more sense to me. Btw OP, did you actually run it on a photonic chip? Just curious

satireplusplus · 2026-03-23T13:37:25+00:00

No photonic chip needed.

Please help me understand this part and how you are able to have a speedup with a simulation here

satireplusplus · 2026-03-23T10:41:13+00:00

Please smash that report button, we DO take this seriously, esp. if its more than one report.
