Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don’t want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?

He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11

He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11

He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization

He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?

His dad has justified “suicide bombing” (like the ones in 9/11) as “first and foremost a category of soldier”.

Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada” which is exactly what 9/11 was

During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing

He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement

Yeah I wonder why the families don’t want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?

Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.

They pay nearly no property tax because of Prop 13, while you pay for their healthcare + other benefits you'll never enjoy.

Build the damn houses over Marina Safeway. Younger people in SF need a shot at family formation that doesn't hinge on getting liquid from OAI / Anthropic.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

I've seen no greater irony in my entire life than Anthropic complaining about distillation. They trained on the entire corpus of human knowledge and are now selling it back to us, compressed. All while desperately trying to game regulators into providing them with a business model and claiming the moral high ground, haughtily and with great condescension

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Tricking the US Government to protect frontier labs’ business model by using a China boogeyman is a mistake.

It is protecting the equity of 5,000 people who are investors in OAI and Ant at the sale of everyone else. This would be a terribly stupid decision.

Let the market sort this out!

The events of the past few weeks may simply mean that the frontier labs’ business model is not good and that their revenues aren’t sustainable.

That’s ok. It’s ok to have a business model that worked for some time then all of a sudden didn’t (remember Groupon)!

This still leaves a lot of value for a lot of other American companies:

- CPUs
- GPUs
- hyperscalers
- neoclouds
- rack manufacturers
- electricity and power
- skilled trades
- application layer AI

None of this value goes away. In fact, if the model layers’ costs decrease by 10-100x, competition would accelerate and I would argue that the value to everyone else will go up more than what is lost.

Let the free market sort this out vs allowing two companies whose stock is owned by less than 5,000 people decide this for America.

If something is genuinely decentralized, it should not be regulated like a bank. Getting that distinction right took years of work, and we finally have the opportunity to make it law. Let’s pass the Clarity Act.

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.

Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.

This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

My call, next 30-60 days:

-Irans IRGC will collapse.

- Oil into the $50’s.

-Pure disinflation will become the primary trend (well into the 2030’s) as rates plummet. Sub 4% 10 yr in Q4 and 3.5% in Q1 2027.

- No, Kevin Warsh is most certainly NOT a hawk.

-Interest rate sensitive names will begin a parabolic
move higher into year end.

-Groups to own; semis/tech, small caps, gold, silver…especially gold miners… housing, Bitcoin.

This is the intellectual version of a COVID Mask. You may think you’re doing something smart but you’re not.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

This is likely our last chance to get real legislation for digital assets on the books before 2030. If we fail to pass the Clarity Act, we are ensuring another country will write the rules for digital assets and we spend the next decade catching up.

Tesla on Cybercab in new report:

"We plan to deploy Cybercab as the primary vehicle in our Robotaxi fleet. It eliminates the need for a steering wheel, pedals and traditional controls, freeing up cabin space and ultimately reducing weight and operational costs. It is designed as al compact two-seater because more than 85% of ride-hailing trips carry one to two passengers, * while other autonomous Tesla vehicles serve larger groups.

Cybercab incorporates numerous in-house advancements including our 4680 battery cells, steer-by-wire technology and 48-volt architecture, with the latter enabling the delivery of power to different parts of the vehicle more efficiently.

It also leverages our "unboxed" manufacturing process that builds the vehicle in parallel (instead of using traditional sequential manufacturing lines),| leading to a more efficient use of the factory space.

Furthermore, Cybercab is manufactured from lightweight reactive injection molded (RIM) panels that eliminate the need for a traditional paint shop. Cybercab also includes a new drive unit that eliminates reliance on critical minerals that can be costly and difficult to procure. These innovations deliver a step-change reduction in vehicle bill of material and manufacturing costs while aiming to meet and, in some cases, exceed the global safety standards."

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

We need a bit more shame.

People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.

Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.

It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.

@BaldyNFL Baldy!! Love all your analysis , thanks for the reply. I know the game well. Differences of opinion. Keep up the great work!

[djsenseix @djsenseix]

@BaldyNFL IMO it’s not a penalty. The portugal player just made it look like he couldn’t get to the ball. Exacerbated in slow motion VAR review

[Arsenal Chizzy @ArsenalChizzy_]

🚨 Thierry Henry on Germany's disallowed goal against Paraguay after VAR review:

🗣️ “Listen, that decision is a bad one. An absolutely insane decision.

Tah wins the header cleanly. He attacks the ball, gets there first and puts it in the net. For me, that's a perfectly good goal.

Then VAR gets involved and suddenly we're chalking it off because of the softest contact on the goalkeeper.

That's not football.

If every little touch on a keeper is going to be punished like that, then defenders might as well stop challenging in the box completely.

Germany have every right to feel robbed because that goal should have stood.

And when you look at what happened after, it's even worse. That decision has effectively cost Germany qualification to the Round of 16 after they went out on penalties.

VAR was brought in to correct clear and obvious errors, not to search for excuses to disallow good goals.

For me, that's a shocking call.”

This is why no one in any Western country can cut any welfare spending ever and why we keep going further and further into debt.

Because any time anyone reduces spending on anything, an example can be wheeled out of a person who suffered or even died as a result.

On this basis, there can never be too much spending, too much aid or too much tax.

Indeed, the author of the tweet I am quoting will almost certainly oppose paying taxes of 100% or having 100% of his country's GDP be used in aid to the developing world. Despite the fact that his failure to give all his/his country's money away is demonstrably killing people right now. How many lives could be saved by having all of his money go to Africa? How many millions could be saved by having all of the federal budget be sent to the poorest parts of the world?

@iMiaSanMia Giving Sane a 3 just because he scored a goal means you wrote the summary without reading the book

@Bri_an2 To be fair, you can’t be benched if your coach is too incompetent to ever let you start
