Here’s the honest read. Here’s the real consideration. This is the genuine tradeoff. Here’s the honest answer. Here’s the key insight. This is the crux of the question. It’s worth flagging this. It’s not one or the other. Here’s what’s actually happening.

Shut the fuck up.

🔥 AWESOME! El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said he DESTROYED Soros influence in his country — USA needs to do the same

"Who elected Soros to dictate policy and laws? Why does he feel entitled to impose his agenda? Soros and his cronies hit a BRICK WALL in El Salvador. Thank God...Salvadorans are now IMMUNE to his influence. No one believes his lies anymore over there!"

@NayibBukele is a pure masterclass for Latin America. 👏🏻

Impeach the judges, rule crime with an iron fist, and BLOCK SOROS' ASSETS AND INFLUENCE! 🇺🇸🇸🇻

🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.

First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.

And that's just the warm-up.

Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.

No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.

De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health.

That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease!

We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

I recently bought this book on Amazon, mostly out of curiosity. It goes next to Polya's, Hilbert & Courant, and other classics. It covers the equivalent of the infamous math 55a/b Harvard sequence. Written by *amazing* Russian mathematicians (I studied analysis on Nikolskii's two volumes--awesome). It's 60 years old. Not a vice, these days. It is also unique in that every chapter has a historical context in the historical materialism tradition, very interesting and useful. And it's instructive to read how a great mathematician presents standard material. Some parts (the use of computers in mathematics) are dated. It's ok. Most aren't. And there is a lot of geometric intuition in Russian analysis descriptions! Which I like.

1120 pages. $42 paperback (recommended), $17 kindle.
If you are a high school student, or an autodidact, I can't think of many other books that will make a better intro. Polya sells for $25, Hilbert-Courant $27. They can be found on the internet, but paper is so much better. Per dollar spent, these books, and the hundred hours you'll spend on them, will make you an incommensurably more cultured and happier person.

There is no AI for that.

If not, realize that the proposal is designed to harm, not help, individual privacy."

just binge-watched all(?) 25 episodes of Solo Leveling, an anime brave enough to ask “what if our protagonist just kept becoming more powerful and just kept defeating everyone effortlessly and also became handsome and sexy and rich and everyone fears and respects him?”

فجأة، يتم إغلاق مضيق هرمز، وتتوقف صادرات قطر و الإمارات من الغاز المسال إلى آسيا، وتقوم الولايات المتحدة بزيادة صادراتها من الغاز المسال لتصل إلى أعلى مستوى لها تاريخيا... ويتم تحويل شحنات عديد من أوروبا لآسيا لبيعها بأسعار أعلى....

وفجأة يتم الانتهاء من محطتي غاز مسال في الوقت نفسه، واحدة على الساحل الغربي للمكسيك، الموصولة بخط أنابيب غاز من تكساس، وهكذا يتم تصدير الغاز من تكساس، الولاية الجنوبية الشرقية، من الغرب... إلى آسيا للتعويض عن الغاز المسال القطري والإماراتي....

يا أخي إيران أغلقت مضيق هرمز لأنها تريد أن تفيد أميركا بقطع الإمدادات عن الصين وتوسيع أسواق الغاز المسال الأميركي! صح؟

Mr President,

It took everyone in the global investment community about 20 minutes after your Tuesday evening ceasefire announcement to notice that Iran's published version of the terms sheet included BOTH tolls for transiting the strait AND US and Iran respecting Iran's 'right' to continue enriching uranium.

Your latest statement seems to indicate that you have only just now noticed the bit about the tolls, and that you STILL haven't noticed that their version of the terms includes continued enrichment.

Now would be a good time to catch up with the rest of us, Mr. President. There's a lot at stake here.
