I grew up watching my parents build a multi-million dollar business. They weren't handed anything and worked tirelessly ensuring it was successful - not for their own gain - but because they had hundreds of employees that depended on their hard work.

Most people underestimate that the responsibility of business ownership includes being responsible for other people's livelihood.

It's something I am humbled to now be responsible for and it's why I work so hard for a consistent and successful future of the company and the employees that are a part of it.

@chamath As an employer, how can we help our employees and invest in these Trump accounts?

An insane rules story happened this weekend at the Maekyung Open on the Asian Tour/KGA.

Inhoi Hur from Korea, who won the event in 2021, hit a drive yesterday on the 7th hole at Namseoul Country Club that looked OB, so he then basically abandoned the ball and went to play his provisional which was in the fairway. The forecaddie/spotter then picked up the original ball because it was judged OB, and handed it to his playing partner’s caddie. But the gallery, who were all there in support of Inhoi, argued that the ball was in bounds and a referee had to be called.

One eye witness said it was “very animated”, and several rules officials then had to come to the scene to help calm the situation. After around 30 minutes of heated discussion and the group behind being called through, the Chief Referee judged there was conflicting information and applied Committee Procedures Section 6C(6), which somehow meant Inhui played the provisional ball temporarily without penalty until a decision was made. But what should have happened, is the original ball should have been replaced and a decision made from there. Inhui finished the hole with his provisional ball and signed for a par and a 3rd round 69 to be just outside the top 10.

Overnight, as the story was breaking, Flushing It Golf reached out to multiple well placed sources for clarity on the situation. Several players were prepared to speak on anonymity due to the nature of the situation:

“It’s fucking bullshit. He basically got a mulligan”, said one.

“Obviously he got a mulligan. How is that possible?” Said another.

Another player questioned his integrity and others called for disqualification:

“What kind of ruling is that? The guy keeping his score just signed his card? It’s just an integrity situation, as a player he should know it’s a bad ruling, but he just listened to the officials because it’s in his favour.”

“He should be disqualified.”

Inhui wasn’t disqualified. In fact, he actually went out today in the final round and shot a bogey free 7 under par 64 to post the clubhouse lead. At the time of him posting, his score was good enough to make it to a 3 way playoff.

Then came the real drama. As Inhui was signing autographs for his large group of supporters thinking he would shortly be making his way back down the 18th with a chance to win the event for the second time, the KGA rules team deemed his ball was OB the previous day and added the 2 shot penalty meaning his score on Saturday was altered to a 71. That knocked him down to T3 and he missed out on the playoff by 2 shots. There was then another altercation between Inhui’s support and the officials.

Inhui’s wife has since posted on Instagram questioning the officials and asking for video evidence of the situation. One message translated from Korean reads:

“I won’t accept it. Are they just brushing over the fact the competition official lied?”

Minhyuk Song went on to win the playoff over Mingyu Cho.

@Mike_kim714 Prefer Masters logo’d gear or ANGC logo’d gear more?

@thetripathi58 Do not follow this advice.

@elonmusk This will continue to occur. The ease of the tool doesn’t equal the most efficient/safe solution.

[Phillip Wilson @FlipWilsonOTS]

When prompting for modifications to a section of code or script, Grok often doesn’t get it right on the first attempt because it makes assumptions that the section of code/script given is the entirety of the code/script.

I almost always have to provide additional context or provide the entirety of the script for it provide a corrected version.

@Jason the statistic from last week’s episode on the average home affordability age rising from 33 to 40 from 2021 to now. Wouldn’t that suggest homes are arguable more affordable now because the people that are aged 40+ were previously priced out, but are now entering the market?

The average age rising 7 years in a 4-year period doesn’t necessarily correlate to what I think the statistic was intending to prove…

@Jason @Tesla I think people struggle to understand this because they immediately think “I don’t want a robot in my house” when the application and upside of the product has 10-100x more applications outside the consumer space.

@SawyerMerritt Would love this.

@SMB_Attorney IRAC for problem solving. CRAC for persuasion.

[Phillip Wilson @FlipWilsonOTS]

@Jason @america What makes you so sure of this? I’m not questioning his ability to execute because the track record speaks for itself. But why on this and why so sure about 10%?

@Tx_smb That’s how we get better! Share insights and thoughts with each other to grow and develop!

[Phillip Wilson @FlipWilsonOTS]

100% agree with your point on ownership. Nobody likes to fall short of expectations they created themselves because there are no “socially acceptable excuses”.

But I disagree with the hiring the right people point. Is having high performers and a high standards culture a measure of management practices or is it a hiring practices problem? Bezos has a great annual letter that dissects these issues and I agree wholeheartedly with.

@WallStreetApes Okay, now do the one where someone has met the deductible and what their bill would be with and without insurance.

@steaakfriend Basically two different ML bets then

@SMB_Attorney Gotta have some kind of new consideration
