  • So I’ve been on both sides of this equation. I had a rich friend growing up and they would give me random gifts like game consoles and tickets to concerts that we’d go with them. It was “pocket change” to them. As I got older, I came in to money young and started to do the same thing with my friends, and I realized why they did it and why I did it.

    It’s nothing about power dynamics or holding it over others, but wanting to share in your joys and successes. I would buy dinner for friends at nice places because I wanted to enjoy something and I wanted them to also. They were my friends, I have money, why wouldn’t I want to share it? I hate when people are selfish and hoard money, so why not use it for everyone to enjoy.









  • To vintage’s point. The way I view it is there is no chance for AGI via the current method of hopped up LLM/ML but that doesn’t mean we won’t uncover a method in the future. Bio-engineering with an attempt to recreate a neural network for example, or extraction of neurons via stem cells with some sort of electrical interface. My initial point was that it’s way off, not that it’s impossible. One day someone will go “well, that’s interesting” and we’ll have a whole new paradigm






  • Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.

    The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on

    Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.
