I know what you're thinking.

How long will this take?

When will it end?

A literal bioweapon is destroying brains around you.

Focus on avoiding infection for another year, then re-evaluate.

I've got an extremely high OQ and I've always looked for high-OQ people to hire — over experience or credentials.

[Adam Shuaib @adamshuaib]

After 15 years of investing, we realised that truly exceptional founders have something impossible to fake: deeply unconventional lives.

We analysed 15,000 founders using five binary signals to measure this: odd hobbies, early signs of exceptionalism, extreme life choices, unusual geographies, non-linear careers. These sum to give a 0-5 score per founder. Whether someone started coding at 10, speaks five languages, climbed Everest or quit a safe job to live in Chile, the signal was deviation from the mean.

Rather than focusing on IQ or EQ, we call this metric the Outlier Quotient, or “OQ”. When forecasting founder success, it turns out that OQ was the single most predictive variable in our entire classification model, trained on ~70 different factors.

Our OQ score had zero correlation with having worked at a top-tier company or attending an elite university. The signals most VCs rely on aren’t just noisy, they’re blinding. The best founders don’t signal like everyone else, they don’t think like everyone else, and they certainly don’t build like everyone else.

If you want to spot breakout talent before the rest of the market, stop screening for conformity. Back the founders the system was built to filter out.

With the help of Claude Mythos Preview, the Firefox team fixed more security bugs in April than in the past 15 months combined.

Ya sé que Uds usan ChatGPT para cosas muy serias.
Pero prueben como asistente de cocina.
Al detalle. Incluso dándole alguna foto (del pescado, de la carne, de la composición) para ajustar tiempos e instrucciones.
Todo lo que siempre quiso cocinar pero nunca se atrevió a hacer…

@tlbtlbtlb Good. I'd agree. Is there a way we don't give machines power over humans that doesn’t start by 'If only every country and person agreed on not using the most powerful tool available to them...'?

Once best possible CEOs and commanders are machines, will we not use them?

[StopYourLimits | Looking For A Vaccine 🤯 @limits_stop]

@tlbtlbtlb While you're right, this only applies effectively because humans have the power (and only to the extent power imbalances between societies are not huge). It's a description of power.

What if machines had power over humans?

🚨 US–Iran talks are underway… as Israeli strikes on Lebanon continue.

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

Looks like I’m planning my summer trip to Spain and perhaps even considering a move for good. I’d rather spend my hard-earned money in a country where values are not just empty rhetoric, but something genuinely lived and implemented. Who’s with me?

Sanchez is a statesman with vision and moral courage

Starmer, Macron, Merz are mere myopic, timid politicians

@teortaxesTex Destroying Israel takes 2 nukes.

You can't destroy Iran, not even with 200 nukes.

[Policy Tensor @policytensor]

This is the only way for Europe to not become a playing field of the four great powers. Get it done.

[StopYourLimits | Looking For A Vaccine 🤯 @limits_stop]

@kevinnguyendn @ashwingop I disagree that natural language / semantics has finite dimensions.

You can navigate it as infinite-dimensional if you model semantics as fractal.

IMHO graphs are the most efficient representation for that -- BM25, dense embeddings, ColBERT, .md, etc. should play a role in this

[StopYourLimits | Looking For A Vaccine 🤯 @limits_stop]

@francoisfleuret Fair point

[StopYourLimits | Looking For A Vaccine 🤯 @limits_stop]

Yes. 100%. And it also applies to agentic memory.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Understanding is not the opposite of memory. It’s memory wired together so well that it feels like something qualitatively different.

Case in point: More than 70 transport planes landed in the Middle East within 24 hours of the ceasefire taking effect. That scale suggests possible preparation for a ground offensive, solidifying suspicion that Trump is using the truce to regroup:

[StopYourLimits | Looking For A Vaccine 🤯 @limits_stop]

@policytensor Your analysis arguably omits Israel's nukes, existential goals, Nazi ideology, influence over the US and internal politics.

Is the US going to bomb Israel?

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The world can have peace or Israel. It can’t have both.

[Robert Barnes @barnes_law]

Precisely.
