Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha after his man-of-the-match display against Spain: "I cried after the game because I grew up with my grandparents when I was a kid, and they could not be there. They passed away a few years ago. "My mum could not be here either for a VISA issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time."

The BIG difference between cricket and football is that the European Union consists of different countries, whereas the Indian Union consists of different states. That is why football appears to be a global sport. Otherwise, it is largely a two-continent sport, and because it is easy to understand, it has built a diverse fanbase around the world. Cricket could easily have a 48-team World Cup if the Indian Union were made up of different countries like the European Union. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and several other states could become proper Test nations within a few years. If the West Indies were split, they could field 6 international teams that would be highly competitive in T20 World Cups. And if Wales were separated from the ECB, cricket would gain another European World Cup team. So, Cricket if not to football levels still is far more global than many people think.

Dumb guilt-tripping as ever from the Indian Football community. Football fans in India will automatically become Indian Football fans as well, in large numbers, if there’s something in Indian football to actually be a fan of.

Oh my friend... That was at the discretion of the refree... This is mandatory. Know the difference...Also - Be informed. You are welcome to look that up 👍

Six ODI World Cups barely moved Australia, but one FIFA World Cup victory had them celebrating like it was their first major trophy. Insult to cricket.

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

To train a GPT class 1T model from scratch - including failed runs, data acq clean rlhf, post-training, team/people will likely req $250M of compute on an aggressive 3-4mo schedule (i.e. more reserved GPUs), $500-600M all-in IF you do a dense one. MoE fp8 will cut costs by 1/10th depending on how many active params you have. If you want SOTA however, the budgets go significantly higher on test-time compute, post-training RL, and data/synthetic generations..and v. high on talent. Maybe $2-4B all-in. After that comes serving the model. The talent is key to get to SOTA/beat it - and then you have to ensure this is useful enough to have inference vol over time - for which the capital will come if there is usage / TAM. So this is not as much about raising $50-60B, or raising it all at once as the OP says - we are investors in mistral, sarvam, reflection and anthropic - and they all scaled capital over time as models got adoption, but the early bottleneck is more on talent GPUs at that scale where you can do interesting things.
