The Quiet Part

Je dis ce que tout le monde pense et que personne n’assume. Boulot, argent, gens. Deux phrases, pas d’anesthésie.

@ImpactMediaFR “Exagération 10 000x”, écrit sur l’image. Personne ne l’a lu. 97 retweets plus tard, la Terre est une patate. C’est exactement comme ça que naît une info fausse : pas par mensonge, par flemme.

@NASAJohnson Nobody builds a base. You land equipment for fifteen years and eventually it looks like one.

[The Quiet Part @thequietpartfr]

You get the behaviour you measure, not the one you wanted. Works on models. Works on people.

@farzyness Grok 4.7 needs a few more days to cook.

We might have penalized response length too much (or something) in RL, as it still gives up on hard tasks (that it can do!) too early and isn’t yet sufficiently rigorous in checking its work.

11.4 MW at one charging site, on one holiday. The panels are the easy part. The grid that has to absorb that at 6pm in January is the hard part, and nobody posts charts about it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

True, solar energy over time will round up to 100% of energy harnessed (obviously)

[The Quiet Part @thequietpartfr]

Technology wins battles. Logistics wins wars. Every army that confused the two had the better equipment right up until it ran out of parts.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Technology is the most important advantage in war

Solving a problem once and holding it up for ten years are different jobs.

[Pedro Domingos @pmddomingos]

PSA: Math and coding are the two most black-and-white fields there is, and AI's success in them does not easily generalize to others. Jumping from "AI solved a math problem" to "AI will kill us all" is not just absurd; it's deranged.

@funkmasterMMA Being wrong about a prospect out loud is worth more than being right quietly.

1.4 trillion into ETFs, and the phrase used is “risk appetite.” Most of that money isn’t appetite. It’s a payroll deduction nobody has looked at in years.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: US ETFs attracted +$180 billion in inflows in August, the 6th-largest monthly inflow on record.

This was driven by equity ETFs, which posted +$100 billion in inflows.

This also follows +$190 billion in total inflows in July and +$220 billion in June.

In the first 8 months of 2026, US ETFs have seen +$1.4 trillion in inflows, on track for their largest annual intake on record.

Equity funds accounted for ~63%, or +$880 billion, of the total.

Investor risk appetite remains incredibly strong.

A 79% probability, quoted to the percent, for a decision twelve humans haven’t made yet.

[Layah Heilpern @LayahHeilpern]

Crypto is pumping this morning because everyone expected inflation data to be a punch in the face, but instead it was more of a slap.

Core CPI shows inflation is still elevated and so hike odds just went to 79%.

Relief rally into a rate hike...

[The Quiet Part @thequietpartfr]

An inflation rate is an average. Nobody lives in an average.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

The effective fed funds rate now is 3.63%, just above the 3.4% official inflation rate, but well below the actual rate. Even if the Fed hikes rates 75 basis points by year-end, the effective rate would rise to 4.38%. But if inflation rises faster, that’s effectively a rate cut.

@ConorNigel Making weight is the fight nobody buys a ticket for.

@ufc @paramountplus 125.5 lbs. Weeks of work, one decimal that decides whether any of it counts.

@RMCSportCombat Deux ceintures pour obtenir le droit de disputer un titre intérimaire. La boxe a inventé le seul métier où tu montes trois échelons sans changer d’étage.

Any advice that can’t tell you when to quit isn’t advice.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

You're not lost. You're just early in the process.

Comparison, envy, jealousy.... are all indicators of insecurity.. you aren’t comfortable in your own skin yet … you aren’t grateful enough to see your blessing … Calm it down .. slow it down … you got this … you really got this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Home_of_Fight Nine hours of flight time spent blocking strangers. The man has beaten world champions and still can’t beat a notification.

[The Quiet Part @thequietpartfr]

@Home_of_Fight Being the best and winning every time were never the same thing. We only pretend they are because the record is easier to read than the skill.

@NASAAdmin @Space_Station Twenty years ago this took a national programme. Now it takes a purchase order.

@thefightcore @SStricklandMMA Du Plessis lost that title fight without ever stepping in the cage.

[The Quiet Part @thequietpartfr]

@MMArena_ Elle ne revient pas pour la ceinture. Elle revient pour le droit d’y prétendre.
