.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:

“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”

“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”

“I never take in any negativity.”

Canada is the fourth largest oil producer on earth.

It sends virtually all of its oil to one customer at a discount because it has no other outlet.

The United States refines it and sells it back.

Despite a decade of regulatory attack, ESG-driven financing restrictions, and a net zero banking alliance built by the man now running the country, Canadian oil companies did not collapse.

They adapted.

They lowered their break-even rates to levels nobody imagined possible fifteen years ago.

They deserve an incredible pat on the back.

They get a carbon tax instead.

The needle grasps and inserts each electrode thread of our implant into the brain.

We've built the technology to produce these needles in-house, using lasers to mill features invisible to the naked eye.

@FBIDirectorKash @FBI I don't give a shit about Venezuela. Let's focus on America and our neighbor Mexico that is poisoning our population. Or how about working harder for justice for the Epstein victims?

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask:

"What do you think about xyz"?

There is no "you". Next time try:

"What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?"

The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

Great list! 👍

Should young Canadians under 30 leave Canada in search of greener pastures also known as the U.S.? I argue, yes. Watch my opening statement in a debate with physicist Lawrence Krauss, and hosted by @AristotleFdn . And here's the full debate. https://t.co/2E0vEt6drd

@SethDillon Whoever owns the filter owns the narrative. We must be very careful who we allow to build the guardrails and where we place them.

We reiterate our view that global oil demand will grow by 1.48 mb/d in 2024!

Looking at IEA's report: It is funny how slow economic growth affect oil only!

🚨 ELON: STARTING A COMPANY IS BRUTAL

“A lot of times, people think creating a company is going to be fun. I would say it’s not.

There’s no point in spending your time on things that are going right because you’re only spending your time on things that are going wrong.

A friend says ‘Starting a company is like staring into the abyss and eating glass.’ Most startups fail—90%, arguably 99%, of startups fail. That’s the ‘staring into the abyss’ part.

The ‘eating glass’ part is that you will work on the problems the company needs you to solve, not the problems you want to work on.”
