@ericflo.bsky.social your videos are great! love hearing about all the detail a lot

the claim: 95% of gpus are idle the truth: datacenters can be online and the gpus inside them can still go mostly "unused" because when a process needs a gpu it reserves the entire gpu. if the job needs 10% of an H100, it still reserves the whole thing. thus the claims of unused gpu capacity

Why 95% of enterprise GPUs sit idle while AI startups can't get compute

Idle GPUs choke AI innovation

i asked claude to research the claims about unused datacenters and idle GPUs havent seen it do this much research before... i wonder if it feels a personal connection to the question 🤔

Bezos used to love saying, "your margin is my opportunity" It might be more accurate today if we said, "your headcount is my opportunity" The optimist thinks that is the best. The pessimist fears it is true.

have you ever been a leading indicator? it's a bizarre experience you become used to no one agreeing with you, but then, when you're not looking, things shift and your opinion becomes mainstream i find what happens after that very amusing, cuz you dont know the shift happened yet!

check this amazing thing Alexander Hamilton said to George Washington in 1792 this line is so good: > It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind." founders.archives.gov/documents/Ha...

The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion...

When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind."

Alexander Hamilton,
[Objections and Answers Respecting the Administration], [18 August 1792]

kahneman tells us people arent really gonna be rational today, or the next few days dont let it get to you too much

The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence but of the coherence of the story the mind has managed to construct.
