The plan is that over time this will gradually evolve from "Chat UI" to "Omnipotent growth hacking harness". It's been a very iterative process so far. Dogfooding it every day!

OctoLoops now lets you track progress in your grand plan for growth domination! The UI is embedded in the agent chat, and an action log lets you track your progress to-date. If you need help growing your latest app, I'd love to hear if it helps you! OctoLoops.com

En plein cœur des Pyrénées, un mur de verre haut de 54 mètres concentre la lumière du soleil jusqu'à 3 500 degrés. À ce point précis, même l'acier fond comme de la cire. C'est le four solaire d'Odeillo, à Font-Romeu, et c'est le plus puissant du monde. L'immense parabole est faite de 9 000 miroirs assemblés en un seul réflecteur courbe. Face à elle, sur la pente de la montagne, 63 autres miroirs géants suivent la course du soleil et lui renvoient sa lumière toute la journée. Tout converge vers une cible pas plus large qu'une assiette. 40 centimètres. C'est là que se concentre l'énergie de 10 000 soleils. L'endroit n'a pas été choisi au hasard. Ici, le soleil brille 300 jours par an, et l'altitude rend l'air d'une pureté rare. Construit dans les années 1960, il ne fabrique pas d'électricité. Il sert la science. Aujourd'hui encore, les chercheurs du CNRS y testent les matériaux des fusées et des rentrées atmosphériques.

@jtdavies I mean, LLM's are primarily limited by memory bandwidth, so all things being equal it's not a surprising result

@Mylovanov "No chance"? It only takes one guy to get close enough. One guy.

I see a lot of people implying Micron locking in high prices as meaning "because they expect prices to go back down again", whereas I look at it like a richly valued company doing an equity raise - economic opportunism like this is a good thing!

@GeoffreyLean What government

A retired paper merchant with no background in science decided to string a telegraph wire across the entire Atlantic Ocean. It failed so completely that people called it a hoax and a stock scam. He spent twelve years and crossed the ocean more than thirty times proving them wrong. His name was Cyrus Field. In 1854 he was rich and restless, staring at a globe in his living room, when the idea hit. Back then a letter from London to New York went by ship, about ten days if the weather held. Field wanted to drop a copper wire two thousand miles across a seabed no human had ever seen, and make that message land in minutes. The experts said it couldn't be done, and they had good reasons. Nobody had ever built a wire that long. It would weigh thousands of tons, more than any ship could hold. And nobody knew if an electric signal could even survive two thousand miles underwater. When Congress voted to help pay for it, the bill scraped through the Senate by one vote. Then came the failures. The 1857 cable snapped after three hundred miles and sank into two miles of water. In 1858 a storm nearly sank the ship hauling it, and the cable broke, and broke, and broke. Field talked his exhausted backers into one last try that summer, and it held. Queen Victoria sent the US president a 98-word note. It took about sixteen hours to crawl down the wire. New York threw a party so wild the fireworks set City Hall on fire, and Tiffany sold off chunks of leftover cable as souvenirs. Three weeks and 732 messages later, it went dead. An engineer had forced two thousand volts through the line trying to speed it up, and cooked the insulation. The mood flipped fast. By the end of 1858 people were calling it a fraud to drive up the share price, and Field went from national hero to suspected con man. The Civil War ate the next few years. When it ended, Field found fresh backing and a new ship: Brunel's Great Eastern, the only ship big enough to carry the whole cable at once. In 1865, with a few hundred miles to go, the cable snapped and vanished into the deep. He brushed it off. "We've learned a great deal," he said, "and next summer we'll lay the cable without a doubt." In July 1866, he did. Then his crew steamed back out, fished up the cable lost the year before, and finished that one too. Two working lines. The new cable carried words eighty times faster than the first one. A message between two continents went from ten days to minutes. Betting against Cyrus Field was the rational move, and the pessimists were proven right almost every single time. But the one outcome that rewired how the whole world communicates came from the lone man who stayed optimistic and was right.

It is very easy to be pessimistic and right. Most ideas are bad. Most markets are too early, too small, too crowded, too hard. You can build an entire worldview around seeing the flaw first, and be rewarded for it over and over again But the strange thing about startups is

1/ We have been treating GPU memory all wrong. What if the GPU didn't need to store your model at all? MegaTrain enables full-precision training of 100B+ LLMs on a single GPU by turning VRAM into a transient, stateless cache. The secret? Inverting the memory hierarchy. 🧵

Forget lidar. One single camera. Runs in real time & is open source: A streaming 3D model that reconstructs scenes live, at ~20 FPS, over long sequences. End-to-end. Optimization tricks, cleanup steps? Nope. And it beats both streaming and even some offline methods. Perception is becoming software-first. Closer to machines that see and understand the world as it unfolds.
