Save this.
Karpathy, 8 years at OpenAI and Tesla, in one 2-hour lecture:
Agents → Loops → Graphs → self-improving systems
Better than most paid AI engineering courses.
Watch later. Don’t let this die in the feed alright.
I’m keeping it here for myself too.

Update: Apple’s lease deal is MUCH better than I expected.
Since the automatic option is a buy-out if you take no action after your lease ends, it qualifies for the Section 179 asset deduction rule for businesses.
This means you can lease a $2,999 MacBook Pro and pay $0 down, yet write off the full $2,999 on your taxes as a business expense.
This reduces your income by $2,999, which can save someone in the 22% tax bracket $659.78 in taxes.
This essentially (guy math) means you only paid $2,339.22 for a new computer worth $2,999.
The tax savings go up if you’re in higher tax brackets. You’ll save $1,049.65 if you’re in the 35% tax bracket.
Savings go up even more with more expensive models. The only problem is that you have to continue to pay it off and eventually buy it out, so don’t go all out.
The best part is that every business including sole proprietorships qualify.
Imagine the boost to Mac sales when hundreds of thousands of businesses figure this out.
And if you decide to sell it after you buy it out, you technically have to repay taxes based on the sale price..
But it’s a very useful tool to use if you had an unusually good year and your AGI (adjusted gross income) is right above the limits for certain tax advantages like child tax credits, QBI business deductions and more.
Thanks @TaxHakr for pointing this out.
Explained this in today’s YouTube video. If you lease a $2,999 Mac, you pay $58 a month for 36 months. At the end, you owe $911 to pay it off or return it.
However, Apple gives you 6 more months to decide. Meanwhile, you continue paying monthly payments of $53.
You now have 6 months to save up $563 as the final payment to pay it off. If you fail to do so, you can return it back to Apple.
It obviously makes sense to pay it off because you can then resell the $2,999 Mac for $1,500+ on eBay or Facebook marketplace instead of losing the $2,436 you paid over those 42 months.
The beautiful thing about the deal is that you never pay more than the $2,999 MSRP because there are no lease or interest fees.
You ONLY lose if you can’t pay the monthly payments or you can’t afford to pay off the final balance. (And keep in mind this is an expensive $2,999 M5 Pro 16” MacBook Pro)
And as soon as you pay it off, you can restart a brand new lease plan if you’d like while keeping your paid off Mac.

Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

JUST IN: Trump’s first post since the election results dropped might be his most pathetic ever
