How do we get to 38oz of gold? 15k sestertii at 8g per 1k would be 120g of gold (aka 4.25oz), right? Also, where do the silver numbers come from?

Interesting approach!

Speculations on the media ecosystem when AI tools make movie creation as accessible and individualized as self-published fiction.

The idea of sorting/curating by number of hours of prompting required to produce the film is promising (and probably very game-able).

Biggest danger of code reviews is bikeshedding. Bonus on top of that is wall-of-text bikeshedding. Avoid if you want to get anything useful done.

What is going on with the section numbering in that blog and infographic? Super interested in the content I can't focus when we start with section 7 then jump to 9 then 13 then back to 8.

2Pac's Hit Em Up if anyone else is trying to remember the original that Tan's tweet adapts.

Tldr:

- take a VERY low dose (0.3mg, most pills are 10mg)

- it drags your sleep period towards when you dose

- to move your sleep period earlier, dose 7 hours before your target bedtime (e.g. 5pm for a midnight bedtime)

- to move your sleep period later, dose immediately on waking up

- dose just before target bedtime for jetlag (alternatively, just follow the above dosing schedule)

More of a press release than anything else. Could one actually train something interesting on a processor like this? I assume you'd need a pretty custom toolchain. Hard to imagine where these processors would have a competitive advantage (but would love to hear if anyone has encountered something like this in the wild)

Makes sense. Yeah, not clear how best to track/predict large one-offs. And your original point still stands: without that 8% growth, retirement going to be a lot harder for a lot of us.

savings rate is about 50%

couldn't go more than a few months without working

How are you calculating your runway? Naively I'd think a 50% savings rate means 1 month off for every month worked.
