We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
Naval Ravikant on the importance of hiring high-agency people
Naval defines agency as:
“People who just solve problems without even being asked to solve the problem—they identify the problem, they go solve it, they don’t even necessarily have to update you every step of the way, they’re not asking silly questions, and they’re just coming up with solutions.”
He believes this is important because “building a startup is an infinite set of problems that are being thrown at you.” And there comes a day where you can’t even look at every problem your company is facing—let alone solve every one of them.
He cites the Vinod Khosla aphorism:
"The team you build is the company you build, not the plan you make.”
And your ability to solve problems is based entirely on how many problem-solvers you have at your company. As Naval puts it:
“If you have somebody who takes 10% of your time and management to solve problems, you can only have 10 of those people working with you. But if somebody takes 5%, you can have 20 of those people.”
When building Airchat and AngelList, he thought of each team as a Navy Seal team:
“Everyone is just really good at what they do. They know their job. They do it. They don’t complain. They’re not egotistical about it. And if they have to constantly be corrected, led around by the nose, you have to clean up after them, or you question their judgement, it’s not going to work out.”

Elon Musk explains the connection between religiosity and birth rates:
”The more religious, the less educated, and the poorer, the higher the birth rate.
Low on the religion, high on education, and at high on inc
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest,
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
NEWS: Elon Musk laid out SpaceX's core mission in precise terms during his Forbes interview, describing the specific test he uses to define a genuinely self-sustaining civilization beyond Earth.
If resupply ships from Earth stop arriving for any reason, does the civilization on the Moon or Mars continue to grow or does it collapse? Passing that test is the actual goal, not simply putting humans on another planet.
To reach it, Elon estimates humanity needs to deliver roughly 1 million tons of cargo to the Moon or Mars to build sufficient industrial capacity.
He was careful to define what multi-planetary actually means. It is not about leaving Earth and relocating somewhere else. That would simply be a single-planet civilization in a harder place to live. The goal is for humanity to extend outward while keeping Earth intact, eventually becoming a spacefaring civilization spread across multiple worlds.
SpaceX's Starship, targeting full reusability as early as this year, is the vehicle Musk says makes the million-ton goal physically achievable. He described this as a "fundamental breakthrough" he hopes to see happen in 2026.
Some tiny lessons from this conversation:
1. You regret slow decisions more than wrong ones.
2. Mistakes are ok, fear of making them is not.
3. Saying yes feels good in the moment (people pleasing, acceptance, instant gratification), but saying no is how you actually do things - https://t.co/pntLiZ31OB
4. The people who decide are going to get paid, the people who execute are competing against AI.
5. Product is the only thing that scales.
6. Most people start to climb a set of stairs, realize it's not where they want to go, but keep going so they don't have to admit they are wrong.
7. Before accepting a meeting, write out why you're accepting it - https://t.co/tMWGvmfzz1
8. The 24 hour rule: You have 24 hours to feel the ick after a mistake. After that move on. (Same for success).
9. Prioritization is active, not something you do once. You make hundreds of adjustments a week.
