What did you think about the Fountainhead?

The rise and fall of the third reich. Nazi Germany history tends to be looked from a far and trivialized, with phrases like "oh he attacked russia in the winter, what a dumbass", "it was another totalitarian government that got out of hand".

This book gave me a proper example and details on how horrible things begin, continue and end.

Yes, there are definitely better resources out there. This is just a WIP I had that I thought I’d share.

Do a masters in the US

Sure, but I doubt your average tradesman starting a business is targeting billion dollar markets.

Scaling software to the same level of revenue as a trade business is as easy if not easier. For one you don’t need that many employees

Starting a software business as a SWE requires almost no investment

I agree but he wasn't talking about predicting financial markets, he was talking about global implications in industries like law and finance. And LLMs as a knowledge retrieval mechanism can already be pretty useful in those areas.

No, but I bet his quants backtest trading strategies. His argument for dismissing LLMs is nonsensical, just because something uses information from the past doesn't mean its useless. In fact, every tool we have can match that criticism in one way or another

> “Here’s the problem with large language models: they are built on the past, everything we do is about the future,” Griffin said.

So Ken sees books and backtesting trading strats as useless too?

I really expected more knowledgeable answers

I agree

I agree with the spirit but saying that open source is on track to outpace OpenAI in innovation is just not true. Open source models are being compared to GPT3.5, none yet even get close to GPT4 quality and they finished that last year.

Can you share any revenue numbers?

Did you try TensorRT?

Whole company, its a very interesting approach.

Curious, how profitable are you doing this? Could you share some revenue numbers?

Yes, that would make the most sense, but why funds buy it? Are they really that oblivious?

I don’t believe it’s as simple as the articles puts it.

How is the alpha in this strats not exhausted? Either they don’t make money or it’s not fully transparent.

Hopefully this will lead to the closing of the Argentine central bank. Or at least a reform that lobotimizes it.

Continuously inflating the money supply kills an economy and slowly destroys its society.

How many HR employees do you realistically need for a company that is downsizing?

That's not completely true. Information asymmetry is a thing after all

Did you try it and couldn't find any boosts in productivity?

I sell software products I develop. Like another commenter wrote, you end up building what the market needs and not necessarily what you find interesting.

It's also tough mentally, you could wake up and your revenue is cut in half, a new competitor appears, your software can become obsolete, etc.

Having all this in mind, it's very fun and I love it.

Number #3 economy is Japan but it has less than half the billionaires. Germany's economy is 20% bigger than UK's but has more than triple the amount of billionaires. It's not necessarily correlated with GDP.

Unrelated but why does Germany have much more billionaires than the rest of the EU?

My take is that with AI productivity will increase significantly and reduce the price of developing software.

However this will only up the bar as now that software is easier to make more people want higher quality customized solutions, therefore increasing demand even further.

In the end consumers will have better quality software for the same price.

Are you gonna use whisper? Could you support other languages? I prefer to talk in my native tongue but I am totally fine with the transcription being in English. I found whisper to be excellent at this

Do you have the links to the videos?
