Richard Kuklinski was a contract killer for the Gambino crime family. He claimed to have murdered between 100 and 250 people. He earned the nickname "The Iceman" because he froze his victims' bodies in industrial freezers for years to confuse medical examiners and make it impossible to determine time of death.
He used guns, knives, crossbows, cyanide, and his bare hands. No signature. No pattern. Impossible to track. For decades he lived a double life in New Jersey as a quiet family man while working as one of the most feared hitmen on the East Coast.
In the video below, Kuklinski sits across from a psychoanalyst in a prison interview - and within two minutes the doctor pushes the wrong button and watches a man who killed over a hundred people start to lose his composure in real time.
The doctor asks how much someone would have to humiliate him before he'd become obsessed with killing them.
Kuklinski doesn't flinch. He says it depends on his mood. If he was edgy - it wouldn't take much. If he was passive - the person might get away with it.
Then the doctor says something and Kuklinski stops.
"You almost made me mad," he says quietly.
The doctor asks what triggered it. Kuklinski says he doesn't know. He feels a little flushed. A little annoyed. Then he says the one thing that makes the whole room go cold:
"I don't think it's gone to the point that I'm actually going to do anything stupid."
The doctor keeps pushing. Asks who used to criticize him most.
Kuklinski doesn't hesitate.
"My father."
A man who froze bodies to hide his crimes, sitting in a prison chair, still flinching at the memory of his dad.
Was Richard Kuklinski born a killer, or did someone make him one long before the Gambino family ever found him?
This is f*king insane. SpaceXAI engineer Lauren Tan on the thing that makes 100 agents possible:
"The most important skill in your toolbox when you work with agents is verification"
You can't run 100 when you can't trust the output of one
It took 5 months on that curve before the velocity came
So verification lives inside the agent: it runs the code and takes heap snapshots before saying done
Last month she shipped 1,000 PRs. this month she hit 800 by the 12th
Eval is just a unit test for an agent, and most people never write one
Meanwhile everyone else still hits enter and prays the answer is right
Save this before you trust the next output your agent hands you
Interestingly, Sinatra didn't want to collaborate at all. He didn't believe the partnership would work because their musical styles were too different. But it turned out great!!! 🔥The way Elvis moves his hand, his neck, it's just so charismatic. So fresh. Nobody compares.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
