🇮🇷💥🇮🇱 Great breakdown of the recent Iranian strikes on Israel and Iran's ballistic missile capabilities

Dear investor,

If 30%+ IRR is your dream…stop everything and listen to this.

Here's the secret to success from Uni of Wharton:

„If I could come back (after death) I probably come back as a roll up specialist.

Because some of the wealthiest people in the world did roll ups.“

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

One has to be reaaaaaallly (I mean really) ignorant of history to believe that Israel & Political Zionism are representative of "Western" values; those arose from the universalism, compassion, & introspective self-correction of Christianity.

Israel is the anti-West.

The @nytimes has finally published an objective piece on China that reveals the truth about America's relationship with the Middle Kingdom. While every day US politicians preach the message of "decoupling" from China here is why there is ZERO chance this will ever happen. A thread 👇

🇺🇳🇮🇱‼️🚨 LMAO: Netanyahu brought people to cheer for him at the UN!

Remember those cheers for Netanyahu during his UN address? I thought, weird most people left … so who is cheering?

-> Turns out Netanyahu brought people to the UN to cheer for him … LMAO

HAHAHAHA

NotebookLM is quite powerful and worth playing with

It is a bit of a re-imagination of the UIUX of working with LLMs organized around a collection of sources you upload and then refer to with queries, seeing results alongside and with citations.

But the current most new/impressive feature (that is surprisingly hidden almost as an afterthought) is the ability to generate a 2-person podcast episode based on any content you upload. For example someone took my "bitcoin from scratch" post from a long time ago:

and converted it to podcast, quite impressive:

You can podcastify *anything*. I give it train_gpt2.c (C code that trains GPT-2):

and made a podcast about that:

I don't know if I'd exactly agree with the framing of the conversation and the emphasis or the descriptions of layernorm and matmul etc but there's hints of greatness here and in any case it's highly entertaining.

Imo LLM capability (IQ, but also memory (context length), multimodal, etc.) is getting way ahead of the UIUX of packaging it into products. Think Code Interpreter, Claude Artifacts, Cursor/Replit, NotebookLM, etc. I expect (and look forward to) a lot more and different paradigms of interaction than just chat.

That's what I think is ultimately so compelling about the 2-person podcast format as a UIUX exploration. It lifts two major "barriers to enjoyment" of LLMs. 1 Chat is hard. You don't know what to say or ask. In the 2-person podcast format, the question asking is also delegated to an AI so you get a lot more chill experience instead of being a synchronous constraint in the generating process. 2 Reading is hard and it's much easier to just lean back and listen.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

It’s possible that NotebookLM podcast episode generation is touching on a whole new territory of highly compelling LLM product formats. Feels reminiscent of ChatGPT. Maybe I’m overreacting.

a reporter asks Chomsky if he believes Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. He responds: No, the actual terrorists are the US and Israel, and the only reason Hezbollah is labelled as such by the Western media and political class is because they dare resist their genocidal mania

Did you know JFK was about to force AIPAC to register as a foreign agent in 1963?

And then, that November, right as it was about to happen he magically got pew pewd

and to this day AIPAC openly brags about how it buys our politicians on behalf of Israel because that’s “good for democracy”

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

I appreciate how @DavidSacks frequently has a novel take on things. You can tell this mind is unshackled from the default "reasoning by tribe" and can generate more dispassionate thoughts.
