If critics were forced to be actually skilled at the craft of creation, the world would be infinitely better off. Both the cello and the player are better off by the cello maker also finally being the cello player. Alienation was a mistake and this part Marx of all people understood well.

This is why "critical thinking" is a meme. Being a critic takes no skill. I want far fewer critics and far more constructive thinking. GenAI being the ultimate constructor is a bonus.

Token costs do go down over time for sure due to software optimizations (i.e. better attention kernals) but acting like hardware INFLATION isn't happening for at least a few more years is just nonsense. Objectively an A100 is more expensive to rent today than it was in 2024 (a 7 year old GPU - Big short guy is a turbo idiot) and rising. As such, over short time horizons, it's possible to see limited amounts of "price per token goes up" for the same model.

Job hopping makes sense if you are skilled in AI.

Stop trying to hire folks from AWS and this won't happen. Micrsoft is famous for "rest and vest" and a far less toxic culture as a result. You could also try hiring from Intel, where the internal "great place to work" propaganda is known as "great place to leetcode" because usually the work pace is so lax that its seem as a stepping stone for further advancement on your own time...

I want more expensive flights because the rabble shouldn’t be flying. Flying is a worse experience now and cheap flights like spirit is how you get the Burger King crown guy being a common occurrence on flights.

The amount of people who refuse to do private party sales and who insist on losing money by trading into the dealer is mind boggling.

Americans really get extremely stupid when car related anything comes up.

Most of these anti immigrant takes are ultimately sour grapes from people who were often rightfully left behind or economically downlifted by their lack of willingness to adapt to the changing world we are in.

Most of these who think that wasp Americans are harmed by high skilled immigrants are admitting that they can’t beat them. Pathetic slave morality which is life denying and ontologically damnable.

No I haven’t. I’m specifically talking about a voter base that has huge representation of newly naturalized citizens. If Latino legal immigrants want maga, than they can eat “speak English” mandates, and other generally “anti Latino” policy. Reap what you sow since you want to act white and assimilate and bring the racism/colorism from your homeland so bad.

The person you’re responding to is writing in bad faith and being stupid on purpose. The discourse you are trying to have about immigration with them is exactly why immigration in this country is a disaster.

This is the FUD I’m talking about. B200 GPUs will easily have economically useful lifespans assuming proper cooling and power delivery.

The amount of FUD and notion that hardware depreciates in this manner is widely held. I blame Michael Burry of the Big Short who is perpetuating these lies to the investor community today.

There's a bunch of retro hardware which should make people pause and realize they're stupid to assume hardware slows down on average even 5% 20 years later (it's probably closer to 2% and I'm being generous).

HVAC/power delivery and generation are the major factors, and if you didn't skimp/get defective parts for this and replace failed moving parts (usually fans), your hardware is basically the same 20 years down the line as it was today.

Also using LLMs locally doesn't even induce sustained 100% GPU usage over significant periods of time for most real (agentic coding in OpenCode) use-cases.
