Luxor, Egypt offers the longest totality at about 6 min 20 sec near the maximum, with near-certain clear skies (though very hot). Other top spots: Gibraltar (~4.5 min), Tangier Morocco (~5 min), southern Spain (easier access, 2-4+ min), or Tunisia/Libya for 5+ min. Path runs Spain to Somalia. Book early and use proper eclipse glasses.

Have you ever tried reading the Holy Quran?

[The Macro Strategist 🌐🏛️🔍 @KhaalidCayto]

@tweedledue @RayDalio So, how could someone living in the desert—at a time devoid of civilization, formal knowledge, or modernity—speak of facts that science has only discovered today or recently?.

Ans question without offending anyone.

@seescoop @RayDalio How, 1,400 years ago, did a prophet emerging from a place devoid of civilization describe stages that science has confirmed today?

[Gavin Baker @GavinSBaker]

Regret the tone of my post on data centers yesterday.

What I should have said:

There were reasonable concerns about data centers 18ish months ago: water, taxes, jobs, electricity prices, the environment and what they would do to small towns. Well-structured data center projects have largely addressed these concerns today and we should be celebrating this.

On balance, data centers are awesome for America in every way.

On water: U.S. data centers use a fraction of what golf courses use. A lot of the numbers from 18 months ago were off by over 1000x. Newer data centers use closed-loop systems or recycled water. Should be required by every town approving a data center project.

On taxes: looking only at sales-tax exemptions, as Ronan Farrow did, is the wrong way to evaluate this. Data centers pay significant property taxes. Loudoun County, which is the wealthiest county in America, now collects on the order of $1 billion a year from data centers. In Quincy, WA, data centers are more than half the property-tax roll. Over time, property taxes can go to zero while government spending increases in these towns.

On jobs: this has been unambiguously awesome for blue collar Americans. Demand for electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC techs, and contractors has gone vertical, and it is not a one-time construction job. These buildings get upgraded and expanded over time. That is why the building trades are fighting for them, and why some unions are now treating opposition to data centers as a reason not to endorse politicians.

On power: the original fear was that households would pay for the incremental electricity demand in the form of higher prices. That is why the ratepayer-protection deals and the new large-load tariffs exist. The right structure is: the data center brings or pays for new generation and signs a contract long enough that existing customers are protected. Where that is happening, utilities are cutting or freezing residential rates and saying so on the record. Where it is not, people are right to object. Electricity prices are going down *today* in a number of large states because of data centers.

On the environment: data centers overwhelming use natural gas today, which is the cleanest power source outside of nuclear, solar and wind. And the companies that are building the data centers are committed to carbon neutrality such that an equivalent amount of solar will likely be built. Maybe more importantly, the data centers need batteries to function effectively and these batteries can also sell energy back into the grid (which recently prevented blackouts in Texas). Over time, data centers will run on solar plus batteries.

On the towns: Poverty in Quincy, WA fell from 29% to 6%. Data center taxes paid for a new high school, a hospital, a library, police and fire stations. This is happening in many left for dead former mill and farm towns that had no other bidder for the land.

Data centers are actually reindustrializing parts of America and creating the kind of working-class jobs both parties have spent decades claiming to support. That should not be a partisan issue. Data centers can and should be awesome for America and they increasingly, overwhelmingly are. Supporting the outsourcing of data centers to China will likely age just as well as support for the outsourcing of high quality, blue collar manufacturing jobs to China has aged.

When the facts change, I change my mind. I hope that reasonable people who had good faith reasons to oppose data centers at least consider updating their beliefs given the change in the facts over the last 18 months. This really matters for America.

I will say I also think the idea of making data centers beautiful is a good one that has yet to be implemented. Data centers should be just as beautiful as Grand Central Station. We can learn a lot from the railroad buildout. Neoclassical revival ftw.

Might write up open-weight AI tomorrow as this is equally essential to America.

Waa maxay CPI

CPI waa halbeeg ama indicator lagu cabiro
Is badalka ku yimid, qiimaha macayshada
Si loo ogaado kor miyuu u kacay qiimaha,
Macayshada,sida cuntada karida shidalka
Korontada,iyo dhamaan wax kasta oo si joogta ah loo isticmaalo

Hay ada, Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS)
Ayaa si joogta ah ula socota is badalka
Ku yimid Qiimaha alabata si ay ku cabirto
Isbadalka ku yimid

Waxaa loo qaybiyaa CPI labo qaybood

Headline CPI wxuu cabiraa qiimaha
Macayshada oo dhan sida shidalka korontada kirada cuntada iyo wax walba
Oo si joogta ah loo isticmaalo

Core CPI wuxuu cabaraa marka laga rebo
Labo shay mahan eh,inta kale Shidalka iyo korontada,waayo labadan qiimohodu
Wuu is is baddalaa si joogto ah sidaa darted
Ayaa looga rebay si loo helo inflation ka saxd ah

@JameSmithorienn @AJEnglish @grok Distinguish between the peoples to whom the various prophets were sent and the message they proclaimed—which is Islam.

[The Macro Strategist 🌐🏛️🔍 @KhaalidCayto]

@JameSmithorienn @AJEnglish @grok There was a unified perspective—one that every prophet proclaimed—which is: "Say, 'There is no god worthy of worship except Allah.'"

[The Macro Strategist 🌐🏛️🔍 @KhaalidCayto]

@JameSmithorienn @AJEnglish @grok Simple question.Ask Grok what Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, and all the prophets who have ever lived called their people; you will then realize that Islam is the world's oldest religion and the true one.

[The Macro Strategist 🌐🏛️🔍 @KhaalidCayto]

@JameSmithorienn @AJEnglish @grok Do you know the oldest religion is "islam" jesus is amuslim, noah is amuslim man, moses, ibrahim and muhamed peasce upon him are all muslim mans.

2️⃣ Deep learning project
3️⃣ Production RAG application
4️⃣ Agentic AI application

At least 2 should be genuinely impressive.

---

EVERY WEEK

Don't spend 100% of your time watching courses.

Use:

30% → Learning
50% → Building
10% → Reading papers/docs
10% → Interview preparation

And code EVERY DAY.

---

THE INTERVIEW STACK 🎯

Alongside AI, keep your SWE fundamentals alive:

• DSA
• OOP
• DBMS
• OS
• Computer Networks
• SQL
• System design basics
• Python

AI Engineer ≠ “person who knows ChatGPT.”

You still need to be an engineer.

---

WHAT NOT TO DO ❌

Don't spend 6 months collecting:

• 20 certificates
• 50 prompt-engineering courses
• 15 frameworks
• 100 tutorials
• Copy-pasted GitHub projects

Instead:

Learn → Build → Break → Debug → Deploy → Explain

Repeat.

---

YOUR 6-MONTH END GOAL 🎯

You should be able to:

→ Train an ML model
→ Build a neural network
→ Understand Transformers
→ Work with LLM APIs
→ Build RAG systems
→ Build AI agents
→ Evaluate AI systems
→ Deploy AI applications
→ Monitor production systems
→ Explain your architecture in an interview

That's the difference between:

“I know AI”

and

“I can build AI systems.”

6 months is enough to become job-ready, not an AI research scientist.

The roadmap is simple.

The execution isn't. 🔥
