If you're planning to buy a GPU I think this will be very helpful for you.

Recently we were looking at a lot of GPUs to decide what to buy for ML.

That's why we ended up compiling a comprehensive list that updates daily and ranking them.

My theory on people who are able to exercise consistently (in non-sport ways) and even perhaps enjoy it is that they have non-narrative mindsets. Psyche strongly shaped by current state rather than memories/history.

They also tend to eschew theorizing past and future. They view past as data and future as blank canvas for planning. They don’t see the two as strong,y connected by a theorizable narrative logic.

I can only exercise consistently in particular narrative phases. Otherwise even minor things can derail me.

I definitely strongly identify with non-narrative.

An aphorism I live by is "I'm always just a single decision away from an entirely different life."

Also think it's about psychological flexibility. I never get trapped by typical internal narratives like "I always fail at xyz (i.e. fitness routines)."

Cyberpunk 2077 has some pretty good graphics now... Oh wait no, this is Chongqing, an actual city in China

So who's building the on-chain everything app?

Shanghai first impressions:
- it's cold 🥶 
- public transport pretty good
- insane how hard the everything app goes here
- went to a 10 story mall and wasn't able to pay with Visa or MasterCard anywhere, only Alipay or WeChat 
- amazing food 
- so much cheaper than Hong Kong

Hey, I will be visiting Shanghai in 2 days, and I was wondering what do you use to access the internet in China? 

I heard most VPNs don't work reliably.
I will be working remotely so it's important I have stable access to the internet. Thanks!

A YouTube channel i would start:

“Cheese Please”

I would invite a guest and we would go to the countryside in search of cheese and harass cheesemakers for cheese and their secrets; Comté, reblochon, brie, Toma, beaufort, parmigiano reggiano, emmental, gouda, Gruyère etc you name it. we find it we eat it

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

The road is long, but decentralized AI is going to win

It's super annoying the Pytorch 2.5.0 is not supported on Intel based Macs... like why? Tons of people still use Intel-based Macs.

Now I have to run Pytorch in a Docker container everytime I develop on that machine.

Our landing page just got a redesign!
We removed a lot of stuff, tried to make it cleaner, simpler, focusing more on our mission.

Need some feedback, what do you think about our landing page?
Is the website clean enough and how well does it communicate the mission?

Cheap Compute --> God Machines --> Eternal Life. Working on this at /mercury

6. Remember that you are always a single decision away from a completely different life.

7. Always chase freedom, never chase greed.

Born too late to explore Earth, too soon to explore space.

Fuck that. We're the first humans to have a change to build God machines and live an indefinitely long time.

If you're alive at this point in time you're astronomically lucky.

Now let's get to work.
