    Day 24 of llm.c: we now do multi-GPU training, in bfloat16, with flash attention, directly in ~3000 lines of C/CUDA, and it is FAST! 🚀 We're running ~7% faster than PyTorch nightly, with no asterisks, i.e. this baseline includes all modern & standard bells-and-whistles: mixed

    No taxes on first $1M of lifetime income Let individuals establish a financial base before you start taking from them A 23 YO SWE at Google with $100k net worth paying the same tax rate as a 60 YO lawyer with 5M NW doesn’t make sense imo

    People under 25 shouldn’t pay taxes on income. What’s the point? Doesn’t help anyone. Tax them later when they actually make money. Turn up some tariffs a little more. Let them work as hard as possible for employers and earn as much as they can. Better for everyone.

    Meta stock going from $92 to $730 in about a year is so insane in hindsight

    Reading Atlas Shrugged and all of a sudden everything going on in the world is way more terrifying It feels like we’re teetering on the edge of death by bureaucracy - can’t build high speed rail in California - can hardly build new buildings in many major cities - rampant

    This year I had to pay ~15% of my *net worth* in *only federal income taxes* I don’t have a wife and kids or a home that I own. I’m still trying to build a life for myself and my future family. I think it is deeply evil that our bureaucracy believes they are entitled to so
