The best way to learn

https://t.co/BUkXNiWc52

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

How to become expert at thing:
1 iteratively take on concrete projects and accomplish them depth wise, learning “on demand” (ie don’t learn bottom up breadth wise)
2 teach/summarize everything you learn in your own words
3 only compare yourself to younger you, never to others

@JacklouisP First chess then go now air hockey.

@kimmonismus Better be amazing cause I’m having sticker shock

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@calvinfroedge If the discussion is Broadcom vs Campbell, I’m staying on the sidelines

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@calvinfroedge You are saying put $1.24M in General Mills stock and retire to Florida ?

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@antirez What’s ssd streaming, using your ssd drive as a “fake” RAM.

Cause that is awesome dude

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@IsaacKing314 What about fresh concrete? And a non-Newtonian fluid?

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@Tim_Hua_ I’d love to know who makes the videos and marketing overall at Anthropic. Absolute banger

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@JavierBlas Funny how many posts popped up talking about Urea back at the beginning of the war.

@OddStats Good, I was hoping to sell some SPX strangles today

@bioinvestor24 I imagine how he has managed to survive so long through the debacle that is Pfizer, but it is getting very weird

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@Ronalfa Let’s see if $PFE goes back above (checks notes) $30 again

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@ozalabCP @Ronalfa I think he was being sarcastic

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@SawyerMerritt wasnt there a nuvolari already years ago?

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@iron_redux The main applications of nanotechnology are the characterization tools at that scale. For example scanning tunneling microscopy, you can literally scan and move atoms. In biotech, Lipid NanoParticles are now widespread.

@RuxandraTeslo @mkwitzke The tide rises for all. If China churns more therapies and the US accelerates , there will be more money in the system. Think abundance, not scarcity. Investors chase good businesses. Pharma is ok vs tech $ for $, but we can make it better.

We spend a lot of time forcing kids to eat “to grow” then spend a lot of effort and time forcing ourselves to not eat “to be healthy”. At least now we have GLP1s

Reminds me of churning up the heat because the AC is too low

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

GLP-1 agonists increasingly look like miracle drugs. Every day, we seem to uncover another potential benefit.

Now, a new study suggests they may even slow biological aging.

[Vidal @vidalnext]

@kimmonismus And it all comes down to one little secret: overeating is bad for your health

@petergyang @agents I use a handoff.md for a clasp across models. They write to each other, both have access to it and they have agreed rules

[Vidal @vidalnext]

First hand experience is the best type of experience.

I was in SF and recently in NYC. Such a great vibe, things happening, loads of energy.

Far cry from the badmouthing I hear in Miami.

@signulll Europe gives you a glimpse of what consumption without compulsion looks like.
