This is perhaps an example of the hazard of metaphor: it can encourage inaccurate or even misleading analogic reasoning. The theme of technical debt is intertwined with organizational issues. Accounting for tech debt is not done at an organizational level, it's done on a team or individual level. The organization has little idea of how much technical debt it 'carries' in its code and paying tech debt is notoriously difficult to make visible to those setting business level priorities. There is an expectation that technical debt will be managed locally, with individuals and teams devoting just enough effort to keep the debt low while still keeping the velocity of development high. Critically, technical debt is, by definition, appreciated prior to its creation, visible in code, and can be eliminated by refactoring.

The velocity makes you think you're winning right up until the moment everything collapses simultaneously.

When models change every 42 days, buyers can't assemble a best-of-breed stack.

The obsession with fast build times: why one minute became the upper bound for the inner loop

frontier AI companies can run more of the best AIs to speed up their own AI research, relative to their competitors. Right now these gains are maybe noticeable but not game-changing, but that'll probably change in the next few years.

what I talk about is reaching what I call uh escape velocity from modernity just like reaching escape velocity from the gravity of Earth if if you're trying to get to the moon and you 00:51:45 don't reach escape velocity gravity will bring you back through the atmosphere and kill you in the process

Basically, all token pitches include a line that goes something like this: “There is a fixed supply of tokens. As demand for the token increases, so must the price.” This logic fails to take into account the velocity problem.

Thus, we definedgaze velocity averaged over the simulated exercise, usingthe harmonic mean, as:vg¼NfsPN1n¼11rgðnÞrgðn1Þwherefsis the sampling rate of the recording device (in thiscase, 30 Hz),Nis the number of samples recorded duringthe simulated exercise, andrg(n)is the(x,y)position of thegaze (in units of degrees of visual angle) on the samplen.Gaze velocity provides information about how fast the gazeis continuously moving through the exercises, indepen-dently of the spatial configuration of its elements.
