  • I’d be interested to know if toast came before the end of the frequent consumption of stale bread.

    Many of our recipes are based around using and eating stale bread, and in modern times require you to toast bread as most don’t keep bread that has gone stale.

    If you think of things like French Onion Soup, that traditionally used stale bread, not toasted bread.

    So I wonder if toasting was a way to compensate for not having stale bread, or if folks were in fact toasting bread long before the norms changed.















  • Cashburn is like projecting profit but instead of profit you are just going to burn the pool of money you have so much your profits won’t mean anything. Anything black on this line is profit, red is cash burn. All companies start in a cash burn state, but if you look at the ones listed, the initial cash burn when they launched was relatively small.

    OpenAI is planning to burn more money than most of them profited.
