@MartinShkreli Lightelligence filed to go public in HK earlier this week, fyi.

[TBPN @tbpn]

.@MartinShkreli says photonic computing's "time is coming" - "it's a pretty insane speedup versus GPUs."

"It's kind of like quantum's ugly little stepsister, but I think it's the belle of the ball."

"Recently in Nature, and a few other preeminent journals, especially Chinese companies, have shown you can do MatMuls [matrix multiplication] with light."

"It's actually pretty remarkable. Light goes to 100 THz. But more important than that is you can actually do 3D MatMuls, and they're O(1) in complexity," meaning they take the same amount of time no matter how big the problem is.

"More and more of the chip and entire global computer infrastructure is going photonic. And maybe the whole thing goes photonic someday. And electricity is actually the odd man out."

From his January appearance on the show.

Delighted to see that MIT Sloan was named by @FT as the world's best b-school.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”

1/ If DeFi is the Future of TradFi, What Did Friday Teach Us? Friday’s crypto selloff was a stress test for market infrastructure. It didn’t pass.  Here are the three big lessons the market needs to learn from the tuition it paid. 🧵

@DudespostingWs The kids will never understand that before TikTok you had to go to 2 dozen Celtics games until you fell into the Jumbotron guy’s lens and then get one take to make a viral dance video

@danprimack I have a feeling there will be a wave of schools that make an exception to take dislocated Harvard students

[Powers @srpowers]

All the hype is with LLMs and AI Agents automating everything. A whole lot of AI Agents need to see the real world. Plainsight has built the infrastructure for AI Agents to see, and it is open source.

🚨 Big news: OpenFilter is live!

Built for enterprise, now open source for every dev to build vision apps fast—using modular Filters with Python + PyTorch.

Commercial Filters include @chainguard_dev Docker images.

Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.

@danprimack 🤔 … wouldn’t there also be normal economic job growth in addition to bounce back job growth in the recovery time?

[Powers @srpowers]

@danprimack Also, today I learned either X or my keyboard completes math formulas for me.

[Powers @srpowers]

I've worked in "finance" for a year now. Don is a solid guy to learn from.
