The problem isn’t multiplying bits of matrices. The problem is getting those bits to the right memory locations at the right time at the right speed.
Sounds like what Dani explained about refactoring models to fit chip/netowork arch

Charlie: Well, they're starting to do it. The endowments have started to say to all these people that charge 3 and 30 or whatever they charge. They said, we'll pay you 3 and 30. We're going to put in twice as much money. Then the next half, you'll get nothing on it. We're just going to ride pari passu on some of your investments
How does this impact behavior of existing funds?

But healthy moral ecologies don’t just happen. They have to be seeded and tended by people who think and talk in moral terms, who try to model and inculcate moral behavior, who understand that we have to build moral communities because on our own, we are all selfish and flawed.

“The breakdown of an enduring moral framework will always produce disconnection, alienation, and an estrangement from those around you,” Luke Bretherton, a theologian at Duke Divinity School, told me. The result is the kind of sadness I see in the people around me. Young adults I know are spiraling, leaving school, moving from one mental-health facility to another.

“Moral communities are fragile things, hard to build and easy to destroy,” the psychologist Jonathan Haidt writes in The Righteous Mind.
-
The other guiding premise was that concepts like justice and right and wrong are not matters of personal taste: An objective moral order exists, and human beings are creatures who habitually sin against that order.

When the HTML parser finds a <script> tag, it pauses the parsing of the HTML document and has to load, parse, and execute the JavaScript code. Why? because JavaScript can change the shape of the document using things like document.write() which changes the entire DOM structure
This is why you put script tags at the bottom of an html document.

- “We are as forlorn as children lost in the wood. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and tell you, what more would you know about me that you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful?”

As thought experiment, imagine that inbox.google.com stops working (oh, wait, it will…😭). Theoretically users could pick up the phone, call google, identify themselves and ask a google employee: please tell me, what messages do you have waiting for me? This mental exercise is a great way to figure out what your business is about. If a customer walked by your office, what questions would they ask? What pieces of information would you try to save if the office is about to burn down? What user interactions ultimately generate money of your business?
Thought experiment to identify your business logic.

People understand what they can see. If a programmer cannot see what a program is doing, she can't understand it.

One of my favorite writing tricks is to only write my introduction. Then I hand it to friends and ask:"After reading this, what do you really want the rest of this article to cover?"
Begin with the end in mind

You only get 52 weekends with your 2 year old. If Christmas-as-magic lasts from say ages 3 to 10, you only get to watch your child experience it 8 times. And while it's impossible to say what is a lot or a little of a continuous quantity like time, 8 is not a lot of something. If you had a handful of 8 peanuts, or a shelf of 8 books to choose from, the quantity would definitely seem limited, no matter what your lifespan was.
