Once I found sour sop mangos are just boring

Also recommending soursop as upgrade to mango - although they are much harder to transport and much less widely available. Mango is also less... toxic.

If you are sharing revenue (royalties, licenses based on revenue, costs that scale directly with revenue) doesnt that count as cost of goods sold?

Typically R&D is not part COGS. It’s absolutely part of the bottom line when you will typically recognize the cost over some period of time to try to get a true picture of the business.

It’s also easier to strip it out of the picture to think about how much it costs to serve the next token. If you can have great economics to serve the next token (profitable) you can always figure out ways to further reduce your R&D costs.

Now they are absolutely intertwined but I don’t think this is ever as big of an issue that people make it out to be. Replace token with any widget, this is how businesses measure themselves.


A square (or cubic?) foot would be enough to house it

I had good luck with soldering repairs with them. The wires are super thin at the base of the brush where the wireless charging coil connects to the PCB and they often break.

Sri Lanka's lion has no sabre and looks like a terrier. UNUSABLE! /s


Higher than Belgium!

I've recently hiked to the highest point of Belgium, it's 693 meters but because humans have some ego thing attached to round numbers they built a 7 meter tall stone tower you can ascend to hit 700m.

Don't ever use that word outside of a Serious Screenplay.

Tell me you're from the US without etc.

It's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Which, funnily enough, is of British origin instead of American.

Bit of an odd comment overall. The fact that I know that the highest point in the Netherlands is in the Caribbean pretty much demonstrates that I'm not from the US.

> Bit of an odd comment overall.

It is, isn't it? Maybe there was a reason? :)

To make up for my tone (which wasn't intended to be snarky but without the missing fact probably came across as such), did you know Douglas once described the experience of trying to get Hitch-hikers made into a film as "like trying to cook a steak by having a succession of people come into the room and breathe on it" which is a description I treasure!


I know. Guess which country had "fuck" and which country had "Belgium" in the Rory's description.

WTF how does she measure 36km/h on the leisurely cycling people? And how does she measure the 28km/h guy when being so far from the direction he's travelling?

It's probably a device meant for and tested to measure cars, not arbitrary objects. Probably needs to be used in a specific way too.

vast.ai has H100 at 1.93/h, H200 at 3.8/h but no 2500$ minimum. It's also possible to get a DPA with them, see where the machine is, this feels a bit comparatively dodgy

Just get a tape drive. Then you will find out how nice and simple disks are
