Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died.
Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981.
A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer.
According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.

“I hate that word - ‘lucky.’ It cheapens a lot of hard work. Living in Brooklyn in an apartment without any heat and paying for dinner at the bodega with dimes, I don't think I felt myself lucky back then. Doing plays for 50 bucks and trying to be true to myself as an artist and turning down commercials where they wanted a leprechaun. Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who's freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn. So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason, I found them, and they found me.”
Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"
It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.
The law of attraction in the way that the movie the secret and books like that describe it is bullshit. You can’t simply think positive and then it magically happens without hard work and changing your actions. However, your mind is very powerful. I do believe that the way that you think sets in motion certain actions that lead to certain outcomes.
I have done this for years with my business and my career. I always had a knowing that I would be successful. I had the notion that I had something to offer and I wouldn’t experience lack forever. I had no reason to think that. I was a heroin addict on the street until I was 24. I truly believe without this knowing I would not be where I am today. For years I only did this with my career. I was negative about everything else and guess what? Everything else in my life went to shit. My health, both mental and physical. My relationship with my wife, etc.
I see the same thing happen to others. My own sister is constantly talking about how broke she is and how she can’t make it. She is an INCREDIBLE tattoo artist. Her thinking gets in her way though. I try telling her to change her way of thinking but she’s stubborn and just can not stop complaining about money and how bad her luck is.
I am writing this post for people like her. It can feel good temporarily to vent to people about your problems, but just try for 1 month to not complain or think in lack. Try thinking in abundance. Abundance of money, success, love, health and so on. Even if it feels fake. I think you will start to see things turn around and start to see new opportunities. It isn’t magic. If you change the way you think, the things you look at change.
I’m not selling a book or anything lol. I have just been doing this a lot lately about my health, my relationship and other things. I see a huge difference and I just want to share and help anyone that I can. Especially people that are like how I was about a lot of things and have negative thinking patterns.
Sorry for the rant, and I don’t know if I conveyed what I wanted, but I felt the need to share that.
Our ocean temp is a chilly 53° along the San Francisco coast but things are likely about to change. Just 350 miles away is warm water in excess of 70° (due to El Nino) and it is moving in our direction. Over the next month I would expect to see our local waters start to warm.
