I am building out Meta's compute desk. I am looking for folks with background in any of: deep learning, supply chains, commodities, semiconductors, sovereigns, energy, Excel, prediction markets, monitoring situations, etc. Candidates should have experience in at least one of these domains, and novel ideas on how to apply LLMs to their work. If you'd like to help manage $100b+ of compute spend, please DM and include information about why you're a fit. (If you're in doubt about being a good fit please apply! Epistemic humility is in short supply these days.)

@karkarlyly Oreo cow

@ash_locked Are the gigawatt-scale fluctuations in consumption driven by demand for inference or training services? Why don’t datacenters optimize training workloads to smooth energy consumption?

Just dropped my third Power Bytes note introducing a new metric I developed: Data Center Reserve Margin (DCRM). It’s designed to quantify how much additional AI/data center load a region can realistically absorb before grid reliability breaks down.

I have decided to become a twitter influencer! Can all 2 of my human followers and my 1 bot follower please like this post to help me achieve this goal

@karkarlyly Lowkey English’s fault for not being phonetic lol

@adam_k_glaser @focalplane_jcs It’d be really awesome if you could write a thread on how you developed this, it’s so cool! I think even among microscopists we’re really curious about the ins and outs of how lenses are designed and manufactured.

We are excited to share our development of a new 10X lens with NA=0.50 over a 7.2 mm FOV and a 35 mm working distance (water), fully corrected from 400-850 nm. This lens will power our upcoming ExA-SPIM "2" and is available for dissemination - please get in touch if interested!

@thesidsridhar Rail rodeo >> subway surfing

@opticuddle The real rodeo was the high speed rails we saw along the way

Rare US high speed rail sighting 🚂

A simple idea to build the @UCBerkeley startup alumni network has grown beyond my wildest dreams into #AccelScholars, a tight-knit community of the most ambitious, talented, kind-hearted people, whose individual stories we’ve been fortunate to support for the past eight years

@ash_locked No u

this is cool.

I think I found the worst picture in the ImageNet training set today

@ash_locked It just needs a sea star on top

tell me it’s a san diego christmas without telling me it’s a san diego christmas 🎄

@oldestasian Oh rough maybe some oil got in?

@opticuddle Lemon juice yea

Chickpea juice will hold stiff peaks but will NOT make meringue ;(

@isaacfrench_ @ash_locked @n_durvasula for the backyard 👀

We turned a lifeless field into a lush, thriving orchard in just 3 months. The ingredients? - 15 friends - 200 saplings - 75,000 dollars Here’s how we did it—and why you should plant one, too. 🧵

@ash_locked @rbfasho Wait yes please let’s try this

@rbfasho yes please

My friends seeing and commenting on my screen time every day is the most productive force in my life DM if you want early access

@kbarley66 HOW DO THEY DO IT?!?

which sounds fine but if you saw how they do it you might throw up a little

my high school group chat red teams the meta AI bot for 5 hours a day

@JustinMSolomon Update: we chased it out, down the stairwell!

Never a dull moment in the office 🐿️
