7. “Invert, always invert”: always ask what’s the opposite of the problem that I’m dealing with and try to solve for not-that.

I wrote an essay on the lessons I learned from Charlie Munger, the legendary investor and philanthropist. Here’s the 7 big ideas:
1. You will come across limited opportunity in life: if you find one Bet Big on it.
2. Become a little wiser every day

[F. Melih Dal @ferhatmelih]

3. Learn important concepts from every field. Just the basics.
4. Have a sense of humor. Life’s going to be rough, learn to enjoy it.
5. Learn human tendencies. Humans act like animals in dominance hierarchies.
6. Realize the important of compounding returns

Batman’dan Hollanda şirketi için uzaktan çalışınca bir günde 4 dilde konuşup yazıp, okuyorum; Kürtçe, Türkçe, Felemenkçe, İngilizce. Beynim yandı cidden.

@levelsio No, the board is making a stronger emphasis on engineering. Exactly the action to not make it a Philips.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a team match for the 2026 Summer Student Researcher program at @GoogleResearch and @GoogleDeepMind.

I’ve passed the first stage and am now looking forward to connecting with potential host teams!

A bit about my background: I’m a 4th-year CS PhD student at UNC-Chapel Hill studying LLM interpretability, reasoning, and safety, with extensive work on CoT faithfulness. I’ve published 5+ papers at top NLP/ML venues including ACL, EMNLP, and ICLR.

I’m particularly interested in teams working on interpretability, safety and reasoning this summer, but I’m also open to related areas. If your team at Google is looking for a student researcher in this space, I'd love to connect!

Additionally, I am also open to other research internship opportunities on similar topics this summer!!

Please feel free to DM me or check out my recent publications here: https://t.co/OLEWKwXSI2

Any likes, comments, or retweets would be greatly appreciated!!

@bryan_johnson @mrmikeMTL How often do you get sick @bryan_johnson

Hastanede başhekimlik yapmış arkadaşımla konuşuyoruz. 6 yıldır görev yaptığı hastanede 1 kere birinin birinden özür dilediğine yada hatasını kabul ettiğine şahit olmamış. İnanılmaz bi istatistik 😅

Here’s the link to the paper that gives this example. It’s a funny story with his parents in law and a hot day in Texas. https://t.co/QTs5oRQkas

I love this concept. Abilene Paradox. Everyone in the group agrees to the plan assuming it’s what others want. So they agree to ‘going to a trip in Abilene’ instead of staying at home, which each of them would actually prefer instead of the trip.

@JonasTischer @marclou Nice to hear I’m not alone in my thoughts. Thanks for sharing this.
A suggestion I got from @ThisIsSethsBlog is this; what’s the one thing that you would do even if you knew you were going to fail? This ties the endeavor to your values.

The irony of starting with hiring people and making government bigger when your job is to make government smaller. Not to mention, they have 2 head of department unlike any other department.

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.

Looking for a summer 2025 research internship in vision generative models. Published at CVPR, interned at Adobe on video diffusion, and exploring model interpretability with Deloitte's grant support. DM if you’re hiring! 👇

‘Öldürülmediler’ İsrail tarafından Filistin’i destekleyen Amerikalılara gözdağı vermek adına soğukkanlılıkla katledildiler. Soykırımın bilinçli bir stratejisi bu. Filistin’e gidip destek veren aktivistlerden, gazetecilerden nefret ediyorlar. Çünkü meseleyi uluslararası zemine taşıyorlar. İsrail’in ‘medeniyet savaşı’ savsatasını varlıklarıyla çürütüyorlar.

@JonasTischer I’m reading Elon Musk biography atm. I see this “being difficult to work with” pattern as well. Has absolutely no patience for feeling of others. It’s about getting things done. Example, his best friend decided to stop working with him, otherwise they wouldn’t be fiends anymore.

@elonmusk Bad news for IDF spam accounts. I used to get followed by a few fake accounts every time I like a tweet that says anything against their genocide. I will see how it goes now.
