@hrojantorse Agreed, the last person I would’ve expected to emerge NBA resident philosopher

Brilliant articulation of why LeBron sustained greatness when so many stall at “good”: a coach hands you a map, you follow it till you forget it’s a map and stop checking it against the territory. LeBron still plays like he’s seeing the game for the first time.

Iman Shumpert says LeBron James still hoops like a curious 17 year old cuz he got paid before the league could "break" the creativity out of him

"They say you act exactly how you act when they handed you money. You could tell LeBron got paid at 17"

"It's the reason that he that cold cuz he think like a child"

"Before you get to college and they break you, where it's like that creative mindset the coach explain it to you and then you stop even questioning the coach"

"Bron went at 17 while he was still curious and got to navigate through that now. He ain't get to keep one coach. That's how he got there"

Kryptos is a sculpture at CIA headquarters with an encrypted message on it. The final 97 characters of it have never been solved.

Here's what we're doing with the solution.

[Arjun Balaji @arjunblj]

@mdudas no brother, this is just how they call basketball in june. first time?

@rabois By playing defense? Brunson should hit the weight room and leave foul baiting to the reg season

one of the surest signs that we’re on a singularity timeline is how quickly people begin forgetting what used to be impossible

we've been using Centaur by @gakonst and the rest of the squad @paradigm/@tempo for a week now and it's great.

we ask a lot of questions about our code, our data, and our analytics, and it's nice to not have to answer them ourselves.

Using Codex app recently has been the first indication of what the future operating system looks like, where every “app” on your computer is just a backend for the model
