Breaking Bad was a powerful lesson to young men, as we are all constantly on the journey to becomming old men.
The drug dealing? The wife cheating? The treachery and the danger? No, none of that.
Just the first part of the first episode.
One day if you're lucky enough, somebody is going to give you the news that you are soon going to die.
What have you left behind?
Broke in a dead end job with a wife who won't sleep with you and your financial and family affairs in tatters?
No, not me.
You could get that news in 10 years, or you could get it tomorrow.
Build.

“This is a moment where I struggle!
There must be a bigger purpose!
But I can't see it!
I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André.
Diogo was a not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father!
We will miss you so much!
All my prayers, thoughts and power to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them!
Rest in peace - Love”.
@KakandeAlex Number of days between getting 49.5m and payment of last installment is 2160. This comes to 49.5m if not withdrawn turning into 98,367,344.
That is 22.8% more than the 80m that was paid back ( both principle and interest)
@KakandeAlex 1,112,307 x 72 is what gives us the 80m
(80,086,104 to be precise)
Assuming loan processing fees of 1%, it means only 49.5m hits the account and available for investing in a UT.
Assuming the UT has a return of 11% per year. If pro-rated and paid daily, daily rate is 0.032%
@zuena_kirema The best solution is a better public transport system. It can be in the form of buses with designated routes and fixed time to be at particular stages. Why would one still opt for a boda boda if they are sure there's an efficient alternative?

“Reality doesn’t care about winning arguments; survival is what matters.” —Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (page 13).
A reason we need beneficial AGI:
After five years of pain across many systems in her body (a broken foot from stepping off a curb, debilitating migraines, fatigue, joint pain and instability, etc), my wife was recently diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
Because the medical system is designed for individual specialties while hEDS affects every system in her body (orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, dermatology, etc), we spent five years seeing more doctors and specialists than in her whole life prior. Most doctors would only focus on what was relevant to their own specialty. We were lucky that her allergist (!!) put together the pieces after observing and hearing her full set of symptoms and issues.
As human medicine has progressed, it seems like we increase doctors’ depth at the expense of breadth. We need better tools to be able to deliver depth and breadth simultaneously to patients. This is one promise of AGI if built right — reliable, individualized, affordable healthcare in your pocket, like a panel of today’s top doctors across every speciality working together in concert to keep you healthy (and without you needing to fax forms between them).
There’s still a long way to go on the technology and on learning how to deploy it beneficially along with appropriate professional human oversight in high-stakes areas like medicine, but the promise is getting increasingly clear. Thoughtfully approached by technology developers, healthcare providers, governments, and society, there’s hope for much better care for every member of all of our families (including our non-human furry ones).
It’s an exciting time to work at the intersection of biology and AI across the spectrum from pure atoms to pure bits

People who are unwilling to admit their mistakes are unable to learn from them.
Acknowledging yesterday's error is a prerequisite to correcting it today and preventing more tomorrow.
When we get it wrong, arrogance insists "I was right." Humility says "I want to make it right."
