Unnecessarily gendered statement gives away the story here
āIf youāre an adult and you still hold a grudge against your teacherā says the same thing
But no just more misandry
Do you think he was having these backroom deals while twirling the edge of his new mustache?
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.
He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.
Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

Guys, I need a theory of mind here.
Who is this sort of individual, of which there seem to be many, that was not motivated to go to the polls in 2024 but was highly motivated to vote in a midterm election?
This isn't purely a Democrat versus Republican thing. There were plenty of Republicans that didn't vote in 2024, then showed up to pull red in 2026.
This is actually how we're built as humans. This is a feature, not a bug.
I've recently started studying anthropology, and one of the lessons I learned from the book is that young humans are intelligent, but not nearly as intelligent as you would expect.
Where we are incredibly capable, no other animal on the planet has anything close to what we have from social learning.
We are creatures that are designed to copy. We look for people who are doing things better than us, more prestigious than us, and then we copy what they're doing.
Sometimes, even to a fault, we'll copy stuff that's not helpful at all because somebody who is of higher prestige did it by accident.
And as a species, that's how we survived.
Data is not particularly persuasive because it's intellectual in nature. It's flat. There's no social element to it, so while we see information, it doesn't actually get us to move, whereas a great antidote will get us to move, even if the information is incorrect.
This isn't depressing. This is just how we're built.
I've come to this depressing conclusion about life:
People are much more persuaded by personal anecdotes than they are by large scale surveys.
"Huge study: Vaccines don't cause autism"
"But I know so and so and their kid got the shot and were diagnosed a week later!!"
Same in this situation. People talked to one college aged dude who had a radical conversion and became MAGA.
Therefore, lots of young men are doing the same.
I can't speak to being 35 and single, but I can speak to being 35 and having a family.
I never regretted having a family. However, when I was 30, I was getting calls from my friends about their vacations to some exotic place and one friend in particular who was in the Alps with a couple of models. At that point, I had a very fussy baby and a toddler living in Indiana in the dead of winter. It certainly makes you feel things.
By 35, I was actually quite happy with my family, and all my single friends were calling me and talking to me about the hellscape that is the modern dating world. I feel like a man who got the last copter out of Nom.
I feel I got the better end of the deal here.
when you get to 35 and you're single with no kids, you're going to regret it cos you should've already started a family by now. if you get to 35 yo and you've been married for 10 yrs with 3 or 4 kids, you're going to regret that cos you never got the chance to really live out your 20s. so if you marry, you will regret it. if you don't marry, you will also regret it. if you have kids, you will regret it. if you don't have kids, you will regret it. the big problem here is that choosing one life leaves another one unlived and where the regret festers is in our minds, when we romanticize the unknown of the path we didn't choose. we keep hunting for a choice that lets us keep every upside and pay no price but newsflash: it doesn't exist. so ask yourself, do i want this life badly enough to carry its cost? or did i only love it while it cost me nothing? think about that.
Just like Amazon are the economy
Just like Google ate the economy
Just like Microsoft ate the economy
Just like IBM ate the economy
Just like GE ate the economy
Just likeā¦.

Yes, it is, in the same way that everyone having a handgun in their house is a terrible allocation of resources when the government can make bigger, better guns.
But Sam seems to fail to understand why we're willing to be a little bit inefficient sometimes.
In other words, come and try to take it, fucker.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
āa lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of thatā
Occasionally, someone comes up with such a clever insult that you just have to sit in awe.

You do not turn your brain off.
You move the cognitive load from one set of problems you had to solve to another set of problems that can now occupy your attention.
Just like how once a calculator can perform all math operations for you, you stop calculating by hand and start focusing on a different part of the problem.
Iām sure there are a small sunset of people who automated their work and are playing video games, but the vast majority of AI users are working more and longer hours.
If you look at the history of the rise of new platforms you see an interesting trend:
1. A new platform comes alive, and the leading player appears to be the front runner in all the subsequent innovations sprouting from that platform
2. A whole host of new products and services not associated with the leading player appears anyway
Theyāre not stupid. At the end of the day a business is designed to do a few activities incredibly well, often to the detriment of other activities. Some businesses are so different from how you operate that you simply canāt get the organization to compete effectively.
And if you try to in too many diverse spaces youāll dilute your advantage and allow an opening for a competitor to do what youāre doing but more focused.
We donāt know where that line for AI exists, though. So weāre going to have to go through a few iterations of startups to figure out where the labās advantage end and the rest of the market begins.
Bro, they have an 80% profit margin on API pricing.
Inference is incredibly profitable. In truth, your $200 a month is getting you $1,000 in inference, maybe.
Not to mention, there's going to be about a billion service providers trying to undercut them.
You're going to be swimming in tokens.
