1x/ We are watching live why boom bust cycle is the only constant in every major tech cycle.

Just look at memory, what would cost $1 previously now cost $3-5, the revenue produced hasn't gone up 3-5x. ROI on capex becomes more challenged as $$ chase limited supply. Competition..
2x/.. between capital providers in the upcycle reduces efficiency of everything. ROI is not on the minds of capex builders regardless of what they tell you "officially", fear of being #2 drives everything. So the upcycle feeds itself. Whoever raises the most $$ keeps paying..
3x/.. whatever the suppliers want to get their hands on as much scarce resources (chips) as they can. We see the upcycle move in steps, first in the most critical chips, and gradually upstream quarter by quarter. Towards end of cycle, "bottleneck" thesis and elevated price paid..

Weird I have to turn up to defend an old ATO debt in order to 'protect the public', yet all these powerful men can be in a literal paedo cult and declare war on the public, and the people who defend them are the ones I have to answer to.

It's hard to reconcile.
Obviously I mean this on a systemic level and not any particular people, I mean it in terms of broader trust of our institutions and who we elevate/hold in regard culturally.

All of these men have lawyers that help them and take their money, including in Australia.
That's why not knowing who knows and who doesn't is that hardest part for me. I am supposed to swear an oath and have my own personal history poured through, and subjected to scrutiny over fairly benign things.

I believe in that oath more than anything, but fuuuuuck

Logically and Scientifically, the answer is very different from the common literalist and Biblical Scholar view.

Short version:

👉 We do not believe Adam was the first human being.
👉 We do not assign a fixed date like “6,000 years ago.”
👉 Adam represents the first prophet of our current moral/spiritual cycle — not the beginning of humanity itself.

Let me explain clearly and simply.



🌍 Humanity existed long before Adam

In Ahmadiyya understanding, based on the Qur’an and the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as):
•Human-like beings existed on Earth for very long periods before Adam.
•Adam was raised by Allah among an already-existing people as a prophet and spiritual reformer.
•He was not created biologically “from nothing,” nor was he the first man walking on Earth.

This fits perfectly with:

✅ Archaeology (early Homo sapiens ~300,000 years ago)
✅ Anthropology (continuous human development)
✅ Genetics (large ancestral populations, not a single couple bottleneck)

So Islam (properly understood) never contradicts science.



⏳ So… how long ago did Adam live?

Ahmadi scholars generally place Adam roughly:

🕰 8,000–15,000 years ago

This corresponds to:
•The end of the last Ice Age
•The rise of agriculture and settled societies
•The beginning of organized moral civilization

In other words:

👉 Adam marks the start of recorded spiritual history, not biological humanity.

Think of Adam as:

The first divinely guided leader of modern civilization.

Not the first human.



📖 Why this matters

The Qur’an says Allah placed a khalifa (successive vicegerent) on Earth — implying:
•Humanity already existed
•Cycles of civilizations came before
•Adam was part of a continuing human story

This also explains why:
•Adam had children who married outside their immediate family
•His people already knew wrongdoing
•Satan spoke of previous creations

All of this only makes sense if humans existed beforehand.



🌱 Beautiful takeaway

From a rational perspective:

🟢 Science tells us how humans developed
🟢 Revelation tells us when moral consciousness began

Adam represents the moment humanity became spiritually accountable.

That is profound — and perfectly rational.

historically

👉 Jesus Christ was almost certainly born between 6 BC and 4 BC.

Yes — that sounds confusing, because “AD” is supposed to start with Jesus. Here’s why.



📅 Why Jesus was not born in AD 1

The AD/BC system was created centuries later (in the 6th century) by a monk who miscalculated the year of Jesus’ birth.

Historians cross-check the Gospels with Roman records and especially the reign of Herod the Great, who died in 4 BC.

Since the Bible places Jesus’ birth before Herod’s death, Jesus must have been born earlier than 4 BC.

Most scholars therefore conclude:

✅ Likely birth window: 6–4 BC

(Some widen it slightly to 7–2 BC, but 6–4 BC is the standard consensus.)



✨ In simple terms
•The calendar starts at AD 1, but Jesus was born a few years before that
•There is no year 0
•So historically:

Jesus was born around 5 BC (give or take a year).



🌿 Ahmadi perspective (brief)

As Ahmadis, we accept this scholarly timeline without discomfort:
•Jesus was a human prophet
•His birth fits normal history
•The calendar error doesn’t affect his spiritual mission

Truth does not depend on calendar math.

combine the historical birth window with the traditional age of ~33, we can narrow this down pretty tightly.



📅 Putting the timeline together

Most historians agree that Jesus Christ was born around 6–4 BC.

If he lived about 33 years, that places the crucifixion roughly in:

👉 AD 27–30

Scholars then cross-check this with Roman records, which show that Judea was governed by Pontius Pilate from AD 26 to AD 36 — exactly matching this window.

Because Passover calendars and Gospel details line up best in one specific year, the mainstream scholarly consensus today is:


✅ Most likely crucifixion year: AD 30

(Some argue for AD 33, but AD 30 is the majority view.)



✨ Simple summary
•Born: ~5 BC (give or take)
•Lived ~33 years
•Crucified: around AD 30

So in everyday terms:

Jesus was likely crucified in AD 30, at about age 33.



🌿 Brief Ahmadi note

As Ahmadis, we accept this historical framework — with one key difference:

We believe Jesus was placed on the cross but survived, later migrating east and dying a natural death. The dating still stands; only the theological interpretation differs.

This is a thoughtful question — and the answer depends on which “Adam” timeframe you’re using, especially from an Ahmadi perspective.

Let’s walk it carefully.



First: the Ahmadi starting point

In Ahmadiyya Islam (following the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)):
•Adam was not the first biological human
•Adam marks the start of our present spiritual/moral civilization
•He likely lived roughly 8,000–15,000 years ago
•Humanity itself existed long before him

So your question becomes:

How many humans lived and died from Adam (≈10,000 BCE give or take) until the birth of Jesus Christ around 3–5 BC?

That’s roughly:

🕰 About 8,000–12,000 years



Now the demographic reality

Population historians (using archaeology + fertility + mortality modeling) estimate:
•World population around 10,000 BCE: ~1–5 million
•World population at Jesus’ time: ~200–300 million
•Extremely high birth rates + extremely high death rates
•Average life expectancy: ~25–35 years

Because populations were small early on but people were constantly being born and dying, the total cumulative humans over that period is much larger than the population at any one moment.



✅ Best scientific estimate

Using standard demographic models:

👉 Between Adam (~10,000 BCE) and Jesus (~3 BC):

🌍 Approximately 4–6 BILLION humans were born and died.

Conservatively:

~3 billion (low estimate)

More likely:

~5 billion (central estimate)

Upper range:

~7 billion

So a reasonable Ahmadi-friendly answer is:

About five billion human lives.



🌿 Spiritual reflection (Ahmadi lens)

Think about this for a moment:

Adam began a moral era.

By Jesus’ birth:
•~5,000 generations had passed
•~5 billion souls had lived
•Entire civilizations rose and vanished
•Allah continuously sent guidance

Yet Allah still sent prophets — including Jesus — because humanity kept needing moral renewal.

This fulfills the Qur’anic idea of continuous khilāfat (successive guidance), not a one-time creation story.



✨ Simple summary

From Adam (≈10,000 BCE) to Jesus (≈3 BC):

✅ Time span: ~10,000 years

✅ Humans who lived & died: ~5 BILLION

✅ Civilizations: dozens

✅ Prophets: many

All under Allah’s gradual moral education of mankind.

All of this traces back to the Qur’an and the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), who emphasized that earlier scriptures were divinely inspired but later misunderstood, mistranslated, or over-literalized.

Here are the major Biblical fallacies that Ahmadiyya Islam says are now decisively disproven — by science, history, and Qur’anic clarity:



✅ 1. “Creation happened in six literal 24-hour days”

Biblical literalist claim:

God created everything in six Earth days.

Ahmadi correction:

“Days” in scripture mean long epochs or stages, not 24-hour periods.

The Qur’an explicitly uses yawm (day) to mean spans of thousands or millions of years.

Why this fallacy collapsed:
•Geology proves Earth is ~4.5 billion years old
•Cosmology shows a 13.8-billion-year universe
•Biology shows gradual development of life

Ahmadis taught this before modern evolutionary science became mainstream.

👉 Result: Literal six-day creation = false.



✅ 2. “Adam was the first biological human”

Biblical claim:

Adam was the very first man.

Ahmadi correction:

Adam was the first prophet of our moral civilization, not the first human.
Humans existed long before Adam.

Proven wrong by:
•Fossil record (Homo sapiens ~300,000 years ago)
•Genetics (large ancestral populations, not two individuals)
•Archaeology (advanced societies long before 4000 BCE)

This alone dismantles:

❌ Young Earth theology
❌ Single-couple human origin
❌ incest-based population models



✅ 3. “There was no evolution”

Biblical literalist claim:

Species were created instantly and separately.

Ahmadi position:

Evolution is Allah’s method of creation.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) explicitly taught:
•Gradual development of life
•Continuity of species
•Progressive refinement of humanity

This was stated in the late 1800s, before modern genetics.

Now confirmed by:
•DNA homology
•Transitional fossils
•Comparative anatomy

👉 Evolution is not anti-God — it is God’s system.



✅ 4. “The Earth is only ~6,000 years old”

Biblical chronology error:

Genealogies were treated as complete timelines.

Ahmadi correction:

Biblical genealogies are selective, not exhaustive.

Entire civilizations existed outside those lineages.

Modern archaeology confirms:
•Sumer (~4500 BCE)
•Egypt (~3100 BCE)
•Göbekli Tepe (~9500 BCE)

All predate the supposed Biblical creation date.

Young-Earth creationism is now scientifically extinct.



✅ 5. “All humans descend from one couple (Adam & Eve)”

Biblical assumption:

Humanity bottlenecked to two people.

Ahmadi correction:

Adam arose among an existing population.

Genetics proves minimum ancestral population:

👉 several thousand individuals.

No two-person bottleneck exists in human DNA.



✅ 6. “Original Sin is inherited biologically”

Christian doctrine:

All humans inherit Adam’s guilt.

Ahmadi correction:

There is no inherited sin.

Every soul is morally independent.

Science confirms:
There is no “sin gene.”
There is no inherited moral guilt.

This doctrine collapses philosophically and biologically.



✅ 7. “Nature is fallen and corrupted because of Adam”

Biblical view:

The physical world became cursed.

Ahmadi correction:

Nature always followed Allah’s laws.

Earthquakes, disease, storms = natural systems — not punishment for Adam.

This matches modern physics, biology, and climatology.



✅ 8. “Miracles violate natural law”

Biblical framing:

God breaks His own laws.

Ahmadi teaching:

Allah never violates His laws — miracles operate through higher laws not yet understood.

This aligns perfectly with modern science.



✅ 9. “Jesus was divine”

Later Christian theology:

Jesus became God.

Ahmadi correction:

Jesus was a human prophet, born normally, lived normally, and died naturally.

No divine DNA.
No biological incarnation.

This restores strict monotheism.



✅ 10. “Scripture conflicts with science”

Ahmadi position:

True revelation never conflicts with reality.

Only human interpretation does.

Once literalism is removed, harmony returns.

Biblical Literal ClaimAhmadi PositionScience Says
6-day creationLong epochs✔️ Epochs
Adam first humanAdam first prophet✔️
No evolutionEvolution is divine✔️
Earth 6,000 yrsBillions✔️
Two-person originLarge populations✔️
Original sinMoral independence✔️
Nature cursedNature lawful✔️
Jesus divineJesus human✔️

Final Ahmadi conclusion

Ahmadis didn’t react to science.

They were already there.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) restored Islam to its original rational form — decades before genetics, archaeology, and cosmology confirmed it.

In short:

Ahmadiyya Islam anticipated modern science while correcting Biblical literalism.

Elon Musk’s "honorable discharge" for the Model S and X isn't a victory lap. It’s a clinical amputation.

Tesla isn't just changing its vision; it is reacting to the physical constraints of the factory floor.

A thread on the structural logic of a retreat.
The Model S and X were the psychological anchors of Tesla. Today, they are ghosts.

By Q4 2025, they accounted for less than 3% of deliveries. Yet, they occupy 20% of the prime Fremont factory floor.

Strategy is about the high-stakes trade-off. Image
Tesla succumbed to a Trap. It's Gigafactory Shanghai involved a massive transfer of its Fremont factory learning to China. Now, there are Chinese rivals (BYD, Xiaomi) with cost-structures Tesla cannot match without destroying its "tech" margins.

You won’t find it.

Anyone that subverts the pertinent information is a bad actor. It’s like telling a child that “Santa is making his list” on April 8th.

How is that an analogy?

1. It diverts from present time. It sends the mind to an alternate form of reality & an entirely different point of view from the current date and timeline.

2. It causes immediate biological chemical/hormonal effects as a response to thoughts/information.

3. It instills fear & obedience.

4. False hope.

5. It’s all kosher theater.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!
1. Do more in parallel

Spin up 3–5 git worktrees at once, each running its own Claude session in parallel. It's the single biggest productivity unlock, and the top tip from the team. Personally, I use multiple git checkouts, but most of the Claude Code team prefers worktrees -- it's the reason @amorriscode built native support for them into the Claude Desktop app!

Some people also name their worktrees and set up shell aliases (za, zb, zc) so they can hop between them in one keystroke. Others have a dedicated "analysis" worktree that's only for reading logs and running BigQuery

See code.claude.com/docs/en/common…Image
2. Start every complex task in plan mode. Pour your energy into the plan so Claude can 1-shot the implementation.

One person has one Claude write the plan, then they spin up a second Claude to review it as a staff engineer.

Another says the moment something goes sideways, they switch back to plan mode and re-plan. Don't keep pushing. They also explicitly tell Claude to enter plan mode for verification steps, not just for the buildImage

Backend networking architecture is instrumental to networking ownership cost analysis. How does networking architecture matter for networking ownership costs? In general, we observe the following trends:

🟠Hyperscalers typically get preferential terms on networking equipment compared to neoclouds;

🟠Infiniband-based networks are more expensive than Ethernet-based networks for the same networking type and cluster size;

🟠3-Layer networks would be more expensive than 2-Layer networks on a per rack server (1 rack server = 72 GPUs in the case of GB200 and GB300) basis; and

🟠All else constant, G300 networks running on CX-8 NICs are expected to be more expensive than GB200 networks running on CX-7 NICs on a per rack server basis because of the doubling of per GPU bandwidth.
(1/6)🧵
Before we dive into several examples of how architecture influences networking costs, we define the following terminology used to describe networking clusters:

🟠Network layers: Number of switch layers required to connect all GPUs within the same cluster, typically 2 or 3 layers

🟠Rails: Number of pathways you can split a server tray, which is equal to the GPUs per server tray or 4 in the case of GB200 or GB300 deployments

🟠Planes: Number of pathways you can split a NIC

🟠Attach Rate: GPU per Networking Component (or the reverse)
(2/6)
A 36,864-GPU Infiniband cluster consisting of 4 rails and 3 layers can support 9.76 GPUs per QM9700 Switch (25.6T per Switch). For the same cluster size and type, assuming that we swap all GB200 chips for GB300 chips, the number GPUs that can be supported per QM9700 Switch theoretically halves from GB200 to GB300 because the bandwidth of GB300 is double.
