I started dying when I saw how many goalies the kiddos had 😂

But this is brilliant!

3 Japanese National Team players vs 100 elementary school kids!

So fun!

@levie Isn’t another obvious implication that this gives government a mechanism that enables them to disburse favors and exact tribute?

@hsu_steve Seems pretty vague? “possible that the drone formation in some way enabled Iran to shoot down the American jet”

@lennysan But is it correct? I don’t see “wear an N95 mask or run air purifiers to filter out aerosol transmissions and reduce your viral load”.. @sri_srikrishna

@agupta I often use the podcast feature to generate an audio overview based on a paper or a folder of docs or a Deep Research report, so I can consume the gist of it while I’m driving..

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.

I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.

Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.

In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.

This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.

The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.

So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.

The owner asked if everything was okay.

"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."

He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"

I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.

I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.

So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.

And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.

Reborn.

A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.

@JPWeiland @TheMr_Cohen Was that predicted at any point? I seem to recall hearing that it was going to be endemic and we would have these cycles from here on out, with everyone getting infected 2X/year on average. Am
I misremembering that?

@aniketsaoji @shreyas Speed is great, but only if you are pointed in the right direction :)

Pretty amazing

[Thang Luong @lmthang]

Thrilled to share: #Aletheia, our math research agent, just solved 6/10 notoriously hard FirstProof problems autonomously, the best result in the inaugural challenge! To me, this is even bigger than our historic IMO-gold achievement last year; these problems challenge even top mathematicians. We share our results transparently, see paper and full thoughts in the thread. 👇

@doristsao Wow amazing! I assume you’ve had many years’ experience..

Prediction: In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense: iMessage, phone calls, Gmail.

And we will have no way to stop it.

@realroseceline Hence the argument for drone-based delivery. No need to navigate through traffic either, just get from A to B in a straight line, with minimal fuel consumption and drop the package off on the doorstep or back yard

[chari @anchari]

great post by @stevesi, applying a broader historical lens to technology transitions, such as the current one, to suggest that there will be more need for software than ever before

It turns out that all those awkward and embarrassing moments we suffer through during the course of life are simply due to the absence of background music.

The Ukraine war is leading to a number of innovations in drone tech: autonomous targeting (to evade wireless jamming attacks on the controller comms link), visual positioning for GPS jamming resistance, drone swarms to maximize shots on goal..
