An impossible problem that Democrats face the is fact that they pay the electoral penalty for actions by activists who openly hate Democrats, do note vote for and do not support Democrats, but whom the public still associates with Democrats anyway.

DOGE employee says "I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was," fraud was minimal, and abuse was "relatively nonexistent"

Truly the best of Twitter, in this exchange.

1. I did not know that particulate matter air pollution from cars is more about brakes, tires, and road wear than tailpipe emissions.

2. I did not know that electric cars and trucks have more emissions-efficient brake tech.

3. I never thought to connect this to self driving cars: we could build lighter cars if they basically never crashed, which would reduce local pollution even more

This is why I’ll never leave!

From a16z’s latest report:

Startups in consumer gen AI are outpacing enterprise gen AI in revenue.

My theory: Big budget enterprise is often slower to adopt new tech. We’ll see this flip next year.

You should be a generalist. Generalists can make tradeoffs across the entire stack. It's better in every way, trust me. You can do things that other people couldn't have, you can be creative. The only cost to do so is your ego. You need enough humility to be a permanent amateur

"The reason humans are so useful is not mainly their raw intelligence.

It’s their ability to build up context, interrogate their own failures, and pick up small improvements and efficiencies as they practice a task."

I argue that LLMs currently lack this fundamental capability

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

What are we doing?

Incredible dynamic: Hamas keeps pushing for a provision that would see it relinquish power in Gaza and Israel keeps putting it back in to keep Hamas as the governing authority.

This is an incredible progress story

An aggressive type of cancer (Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia) used to carry a dismal prognosis, with 50% of patients dying in a year

New therapies have transformed it to a cancer that most people are cured of

I started reading the 120 page Claude 4 System Card and found myself unable to put it down. If you're in the mood for some excellent science fiction (or you miss Person of Interest on CBS) I cannot recommend it enough. I made detailed notes here: https://t.co/f97ZI9ult0

AIs evaluating résumés consistently favor applicants with female names over those with male ones, even when the résumés are otherwise identical.

Call me old fashioned, but this seems…not good.
