@MParakhin @iruletheworldmo Same here. Interested to see what you find.

@YaelBienenstock Wow! Really nice job

@elonmusk I would like to get my mom, who has a disability, a Tesla. The summons feature would be incredible for her, but so too would having a reverse summons, wherein the car drops her off and then gos to park. Is that possible?

@MSchwaibold shared with me the most interesting part of this, which is a slack channel where you can watch how Tobi uses river.

Elon Musk: "If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly, and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist

Nobody's gonna try anything bold for fear of getting fired or being punished in some way. So risk-reward must be balanced and favor taking bold moves, otherwise it will not happen"

@tobi I use the link to the slack thread itself and it usually works quite well.

@tobi @calebfahlgren @badlogicgames It would be great if our teams could have collective second brains.

@MParakhin Is it trajectory length or the error-recovery loop specifically? Single-step reasoning seems to compress fine (Haiku holds up on GPQA). Multi-turn tool use with "notice, adjust, retry" feels like a different object to distill.

@katarinabatina Can product people play too?

@JacobShap Our call!

@tobi Hanukkah came early

Several hundred U.S. Special Operations Forces, including Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, have arrived in the Middle East, joining thousands of Marines and Army Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division in a deployment meant to give President Trump additional options to expand the current monthlong Iran War, with planning underway for possible ground operations, two U.S. military officials have told The New York Times.

If you can’t call out antisemitism clearly, you are part of the problem.

Canada is drifting.
And now the world is noticing.

“More synagogues… desecrated, burned, shot at… than in any other country.”
“We’re witnessing a polite pogrom.”

Read that again.

That should stop us in our tracks.

The U.S. Senate confirmed U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s judge nominee for the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana, Anna St. John, voting 51-45. St. John previously served as the president and general counsel of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute.

Chances that normal shipping traffic returns to the Strait of Hormuz by the end of April has plummeted in the last 48 hours, down over 30% currently sitting at around 44%, following a number of strikes by Iran on cargo vessels and oil tankers near the Strait, as well as an attack overnight on two tankers off the coast of Iraq.

@JacobShap This was really fun. Thanks for having me on @JacobShap

A different kind of episode…one of my best friends landed in Tel Aviv less than 24 hours before the rockets started falling. Here’s the story of how he escaped….and what snacks are like on emergency DHS evacuation flights.

@ASDylanJohnson @CBP @StateDept One critical person I forgot to tag is @GovMikeHuckabee. He’s running a word class team.

[Avi Swerdlow @aviswerdlow]

I was on one of those flights today and I can tell you the professionalism shown by the team executing our evacuation. They were meticulous, kind, and respectful. And more importantly, they got us out secretly and safely. Every single person from the Embassy staff, to the consular DOS task force, to the security detail. Thank you @SecRubio @realDonaldTrump @ASDylanJohnson
