Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:
"show me an athlete who did well academically."
"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."
talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.
same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.
Today, more than 2,500 Palestinians ran in Gaza as part of the 10th Palestine International Marathon sponsored by Egypt and held simultaneously in Bethlehem and the Strip for the first time.
I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and synagogues in Queens, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear. There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.
Neros is excited to announce our collaboration with @anduriltech as the hardware provider for the AI Grand Prix, a global autonomous drone racing competition conceived by @PalmerLuckey. In conjunction with @DroneChampionsL, teams from around the world will prove their autonomy software in real-world flight, competing for a $500,000 prize pool and a job opportunity at Anduril.
Competitors will race on identical Neros drones — no human pilots or hardware modifications will be allowed to ensure any competitive edge is gained entirely by optimizing the best code for the race. As the leading American manufacturer of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), the Neros hardware provided to teams is durable, precise, highly-performant, and designed for the rigors of extreme autonomy challenges.

Eg the soybean lineage predates humans by millions of years and has ~56k functional genes vs ~20k in humans. No reason to believe complexity follows from time to begin with
Lots of errors here. Notably this chart is log linear not linear, so genome size would be exponential with time. Can't extrapolate 10 billion years backward on 6 extremely rough dates and massively oversimplified bucketing of species categories
This is probably my favorite graph
If you look at the complexity of genomes on Earth over time, there's a linear relationship between genomic complexity & when it shows up in fossils
Yet if you go back it implies Earth did not start life from scratch, e.g. an asteroid seeded it
AI can now predict your future — before you’re born.
@nucleusgenomics just launched Origin, disease models trained on 1.5M genomes combining 7M genetic markers.
Origin predicts human longevity from embryo DNA more accurately than any model ever built.
And it’s open-weighted.
@slimeballdopjon@thinking_panda "ShanghaiPanda" is tweeting from which country in demographic decline fueled in majority by what fossil fuel?
Not saying we shouldn't build more solar but let's be fr about our competition
