I am finally starting to understand why Europe, Canada and most western countries imported cheap labor - it was because they knew a war was coming and they would need bodies - bodies they could entice to fight for them for the promise of a “better” life!
Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:
"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist."
"I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra."
Elon breaks it down:
Step 1: Question the requirements.
"Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question."
Step 2: Try to delete it.
"Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there."
Step 3: Optimize or simplify.
"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete."
Step 4: Speed it up.
"Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist."
Step 5: Automate.
"And then the fifth thing is to automate it."
Elon explains why the order matters:
"I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."
Anthropic Claude Code engineer:
"If you're watching Claude write code, you're the QA tester. That's not what you're paid for."
In 37 minutes he lays out how to get your keyboard out of the hot path entirely.
The shift is /loop. You tell Claude to wake up every 10 minutes and babysit your PRs, and it just does it, while you're nowhere near the laptop.
Routines do the same in the cloud, so the work keeps running with your machine closed.
He caps it with remote control: any session, on any surface, driven from your phone.
Watch the full talk, then grab the setup below.
Anthropic pays $750,000+ a year for engineers who can build LLM architectures from scratch. Stanford taught the entire thing in 1 hour lecture & released it for free.

🚨 Hackers found a way into Palo Alto’s GlobalProtect VPN without a password.
The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-0257, lets attackers bypass PAN-OS authentication and establish unauthorized VPN sessions.
Palo Alto says it’s already being used in real attacks.
If you run GlobalProtect, check this now.

Pieter Levels makes over $250,000 a month -> alone, from a laptop, with zero employees
no co-founder. no investors. no team. just him and a backpack, moving between countries
he started by daring himself to launch 12 startups in 12 months. then he kept going -> 70+ products over the years, and most of them flopped
he doesn't plan. no roadmaps, no polishing for months. he ships before it's "ready" and kills anything that gets no traction within weeks
one throwaway experiment -> an AI photo app he built the day after a tweet went viral -> hit $77,000/month within a year. today it does over $130,000/month on its own
he still writes everything in old-school PHP. every error gets piped straight to his Telegram. ~95% of the revenue is pure profit
even Andrej Karpathy said this is the model for the future: one person running multiple companies
the clip below is him explaining exactly how ↓
I've said this before, but Mark Carney is a pitch-perfect Third World political leader. Randomly parachuting into the top job in his home country despite no prior political experience. Spending disproportionate amounts of time in Europe. Grand, unrealistic schemes with no chance of success.
@wanted4mogging A ton of them are butthurt redditors who duped themselves into believing he’d go bankrupt after all of the political controversy. They genuinely believed he’d be karmically punished (see Tim Walz rally celebrating a TSLA correction).
Now they’re just broke and wrong (still).
A woman was having her photo taken by her husband in Monaco when a group of women jumped in to warn her, saying "Someone is taking your picture." They quickly relaxed when they found out the person filming was actually her husband.
Let's do the math, guys. Here is my answer to the post below.
Imagine your country spends $2 trillion more than it earns every year, and has done so for decades. That's why it owes $39 trillion.
Now someone says: "Just take all the billionaires' money and we're saved."
Add up every billionaire's everything houses, companies, stock, all of it and you get $8.4 trillion.
That pays off about a fifth of the debt. Once.
Then it's gone forever. Four years later, you're back to broke, and you've got no billionaires left to raid.
And most of that $8.4 trillion isn't cash; it's ownership of companies. Try to sell it all at once, and the price collapses, taking everyone's retirement savings down with it. ( A stock market crash and then a depression)
The debt isn't a "rich people" problem.
It's a "we spend more than we make, every single year" problem.
Seizing a one-time pile doesn't fix a yearly hole.
