- There are two more catches:
- Options usually expire within 90 days of your leaving — so you have to either pay up or give them up
- If you pay up, you also owe taxes on your paper gains — the difference between your strike price and the current valuation
- First order of business is the exercise window. Instead of taking the punishing 90 day window, ask for 10 years. You can frame it like this: “I believe in the potential of X and I’m excited to take part in the upside. It’s important that I can do that regardless of my cash position at a specific moment in time.”
- There are two more catches:
- Boring Problems Need Attention Too
- It was a busy summer day in June. I was trying to solve what seemed like a simple problem: counting the number of words in the first chapter of the American novel, Moby Dick. I decided to try out four different text editors, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Grammarly, and Apple’s Pages.
- The results surprised me. Each of the four text editors gave me a different word count:
- Google Docs: 1655 words
- Microsoft Word: 1663 words
- Grammarly: 1648 words
- Pages: 1679 words
- So, which result do I believe?
- This variation in result may not sound important, but it might depending on what you do. Imagine the variation in your earnings if you are a writer or editor who is paid by the word count?

- Measuring the Algorithmic Efficiency of Neural Networks
- Three factors drive the advance of AI: algorithmic innovation, data, and the amount of compute available for training. Algorithmic progress has traditionally been more difficult to quantify than compute and data. In this work, we argue that algorithmic progress has an aspect that is both straightforward to measure and interesting: reductions over time in the compute needed to reach past capabilities. We show that the number of floating-point operations required to train a classifier to AlexNet-level performance on ImageNet has decreased by a factor of 44x between 2012 and 2019. This corresponds to algorithmic efficiency doubling every 16 months over a period of 7 years. By contrast, Moore's Law would only have yielded an 11x cost improvement. We observe that hardware and algorithmic efficiency gains multiply and can be on a similar scale over meaningful horizons, which suggests that a good model of AI progress should integrate measures from both.
