Okay. Thanks for the nerd snipe guys. I spent the day learning exactly how DeepSeek trained at 1/30 the price, instead of working on my pitch deck. The tl;dr to everything, according to their papers:

- This guy lived in the 1500s. So he had to learn all the physics before Newton, all the philosophy before Descartes, all the music before Bach, all the chemistry before Lavoisier. This guy knew less than the average modern high school studentWhat happened to this type of man
- Nobody with an IQ over 130 has algo pull. Their posts are too niche. Nobody understands them. They never go viral. I think the cutoff is 300 followers. If you have more than that, you are a midwit
- Cost of storing 4 tb on a hard drive: $80 Cost of storing 4 tb in an S3 bucket: $94.21… per month
- So a web server is just. - A loop that never ends - With a request queue - That is capable of http requests Why do you need seven different frameworks to do this?
- 160 IQ people should find a way to make money with software that don’t involve targeted ads or high-frequency trading
- The way I envision Google: Some manager MBA type decides a product is a good idea. Then two 130 IQ devs throw C++ at it while hundreds of 150 IQ devs pretend to work. Every day, the manager rolls three six-sided dies, and if they are all 1, they cancel the project.
- Isn’t this literally just a Leetcode problem?Thinking about software involved in making this happen makes my palms sweaty and my heart beat faster
00:00 - “I know a million CS grads who can’t do _____” Computer science is a decentralized mess of applied math, networking protocols, and design principles haphazardly collected over the past 50 years. It doesn’t and shouldn’t have a “canon” of key parts that everyone should know
- Replying to @nikicagaThis looks fun but also extremely homoerotic
- Rust was designed for people good at coding but bad at math. Python was designed for people good at math but bad at coding. Haskell was designed for people that are good at both. JavaScript was designed for people that are good at neither.
- OpenAI spends $5 bil running experiments. But to compete with Anthropic, they keep their results secret. So Anthropic spends $5 bil running the same experiments. But to compete with Google, they keep their results secret. So Google spends $5 bil running the same experiments…
- Okay I’ll bite. What is agency?
- I read the DeepSeek papers and I think. “None of this is complicated. I’m just way too lazy to write my own Cuda code. I’m American. This is America. Programming your GPU at 100% efficiency? Mfer if my PyTorch code is shitty, I’ll just buy more GPUs”
