My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset.

72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute.

What a time to be alive…

Traveled to Patagonia to find spots for more data centers, what do you guys think

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@DaoOfMorphy Yes, the problem is that too many people on the internet don't know a joke when they see it

Why do I never read about Kayleigh from ASU deepseeking state secrets out of the Alibaba CEO? Where is the patriotism? Do we even want to win?

"I Was Unfaithful To My Wife": Jensen Huang Admits Affair As Nvidia Board Launches Chinese Spy Probe https://t.co/XntoOqiRyw

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@Cos_or_Jefe I'm technically suggesting the same thing but my version is way more enjoyable for him

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

Wait I thought Jensen hated Chinese models

@Kendylberna Not you

I'm all for curing illnesses and saving nature but those aren't the only goals worth doing. We can't force children to pick the things they're passionate about doing to help society. It's okay if some of them pick curing cancer, others pick renewable energy, others pick protecting us.

Do you believe that we don't need soldiers or a military? If you don't believe that, then surely you believe that it's reasonable to give them the best tools available to do the things you believe they should exist to do?

Of course I would love it if all humans on earth loved each other and never wanted to harm each other, but that's not the case. It's not the case for us as a country, and it's not the case for our allies. Would preventing 9/11 with technology that made it impossible to hijack the planes not have been worth it? Would preventing Japan from attacking Pearl Harbor not have been worth it? And why should we not care if the 19 year old with good intentions who joined the military dies because the armor they were wearing wasn't good enough? Why should we not care to protect ourselves from the possibility of a drone attack in America from sleeper cells who seek to do us harm?

I don't disagree with the things you think are important, I just don't think they are the only things that are important.

@arthurkatcher Why is it bad if a kid who listens to his podcast episode gets motivated to build a counter-drone defense system when they growsup? Or a distributed, ruggedized compute container on wheels? Or a replacement for kevlar that protects our soldiers from even more danger?

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@chamath What is your solution to this?

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@itsabera Thanks for randomly tagging me in this video of this guy dying

This is basically the right’s version of hateful far left people who alienate the rest of their party because they don’t conform to 100% of their world views

New customer support benchmark - can you close a ticket faster than the Houthis can coordinate a tanker crossing?

[tyro @DoubleEph]

You have to email the Houthis if you want your ship to cross the Red Sea. They reply within 24hrs

This is always based on a fundamentally lazy understanding of crime that attempts to shift the conversation from crime to poverty via the “underlying problems” catch-all.

Solving for poverty is a noble cause, but using it to gate-keep crime-fighting discussions is counterproductive.

[Benji Backer @BenjiBacker]

America is not a far-left or far-right country.

We are a moderate country of people who largely want the same things:

Safer streets.
Better schools.
Healthier environment.
Stronger economy.
Opportunity for everyone.
Focusing on problems within our own borders.
No culture wars.

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@Carl_tech9 I don’t either. My main driver’s a BCM and it’s great. I’ve got DDs too and the differences are negligible.

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

@TaylorLorenz @CommunityNotes Yes. There are companies that use real accounts to manipulate community notes in whatever direction the clients choose. Huge issue.
