OpenAI Compute Infrastructure VP Sachin Katti: Safety and alignment may counterintuitively become a major source of incremental compute demand
"I think it actually double underscores the need for more compute. The way we will achieve safety and alignment for these very capable models is by spending more compute on building the safety and alignment models that will make sure the frontier models are safe and aligned. The perhaps counterintuitive conclusion is that we’ll be spending more on compute. We will obviously continue to train and run inference on these frontier models, but in addition, we’ll invest in more compute to make sure these models are safe and aligned. If anything, we believe we’ll need more compute to ensure future models are safer and better aligned.”

Sequoia partner Doug Leone reveals he got a root canal with no Novocaine to see if he was really a badass
"I had to get a root canal. And I had to go to a meeting right after that. I told the dentist, drill without any Novocaine.”
“My whole life, I wanted to see if I was a badass or not. Am I a fake badass that has this envelope nobody could tell, or am I really a badass on the inside?"
"He drilled and I jumped. And I told the dentist, I won't move again. And I didn't move again. I used the trick of thinking what it must be like to go to war and lose an arm or two legs. That's pain with consequences. Mine was pain with no consequences."
“It’s just nerve endings from there to my brain to my spine, f*ck it I’m not moving.”
"I had to go home and change my shirt because I was a puddle of sweat. But I didn't move. And so I love fear. It does wonders for me."

The day you become comfortable missing a breakout, you will stop chasing stocks.
There will always be another setup.
Your capital does not need every move.
It needs the right risk.

I just fell in love W Florence for the second time. ❤️❤️
In May 2016, 15-year-old Karinya “Yaya” Chen was in hospice care in Austin, Texas after years of fighting cancer. She had tickets to see Florence The Machine, but by the night of the concert, she was simply too sick to go.
So the people at Hospice Austin reached out to the band.
And Florence Welch came to her.
Florence and guitarist Rob Ackroyd walked into Karinya’s room and gave her the concert she couldn't make it to. They sang “Shake It Out” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with Karinya singing and harmonizing right alongside them.
A few months later, Karinya lost her battle with cancer at just 15 years old.
But for one afternoon, none of that seemed to matter.
There was just a young girl, one of her favorite singers, a guitar, a room full of people who loved her... and music.
Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can become one of the biggest moments of someone's life.
This is what being human is supposed to look like.🙏

In 2007, a rival fund called Ken Griffin on a Sunday needing to dump a $30 billion book before Monday's open to meet margin calls. The senior banker on the competing bid went to bed.
Citadel owned all of it by 6AM.
This is him telling the whole story -- the 50-person team assembled in hours, the all-nighter, and the banker on the competing bid who called from Greenwich to say he was going to bed:
"And he said, look, it's getting late, this isn't gonna get done tonight. I'm heading off to bed, I'm telling my guys to go home, and we'll pick this up in the morning."
"And I said, there will be nothing to pick up in the morning. We're going to get this done. he sort of laughed and hung up."
"6AM before the opening of the markets, we bought that entire portfolio."
The quote he lands it on, from President Lincoln:
"Things may come to those who wait, but only those things left by those who hustle."

Jensen Huang founded Nvidia on the wrong graphics technology, and when no one knew the right way, he bought three textbooks from Fry's for a couple hundred dollars to rebuild the algorithm. Nvidia is worth more than $4 trillion today.
This is him at Y Combinator on the day he realized Nvidia was building the wrong thing:
Nvidia had chosen the wrong graphics approach, finished dead last, and run out of money. Then came the worse discovery. "Not only did we choose the wrong technology, we didn't know how to do it the right way." He said it to the whole company out loud, because the alternative was pretending it wasn't true.
"We won't have a company if we don't confront the fact that this doesn't work and start working towards the right algorithm."
There was no research budget and no expert to call, so he went and found the answer himself.
"I had a couple hundred dollars in my pocket. And so I went down to Fry's and I bought three textbooks. And the textbooks were about OpenGL and how to design OpenGL pipelines. I brought it back to the company and gave it to the engineers."
The engineers rebuilt the whole thing from those pages, and it became the foundation for everything Nvidia made after.
"Everybody would have thought that Nvidia started out as world leaders in 3D graphics. And we learned it from a textbook."
Decades later, he still tells it as a punchline against himself. "We actually started the company, raised money, and bought textbooks, when you think about it."
