can't believe that just happened: Trump got a NASA question and deferred to NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, saying "the best man to tell you that is the man sitting right over here. You heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours ... He's got super hearing"

"my family and I can stay impoverished" oh no, better launch another SPAC to go -99% or you'll be stuck in the permanent underclass
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
Wow. Awesome. Thanks. Please also raise my taxes and destroy my children’s education more than you already have so my family and I can stay impoverished, uneducated and in your indentured servitude while we carry your branding on us.

NEW: For the first time since 2021, the Progressive Conservatives have fallen to second place in popular opinion polling.
The Liberals, who have yet to elect a leader, are now at 38% while Doug Ford’s party has fallen to 36% according to a Liaison Strategies poll.
This is part of a trend in polls. (338 graphic)

the reason why people are running out of usage on pro and max plans is precicely because enterprise is being given priority in a compute constrained environment
whether that translates into job disruption is an entirely different matter!
Conor Sen@conorsen
I burned through all my tokens in a session on Claude Pro this morning in maybe 10 minutes trying to pull data out of one PDF — there’s just no way there’s enough compute to disrupt a meaningful number of jobs this year.

Confirmed by a Consultant Runway Extensions required at Billy Bishop, for Jets will possibly be taking-off/landing nearly right over top of the @LiveNation outdoor Concert Venue & the proposed Luxury Spa (I thought it was about calm & quiet). How does this make any sense?
The Globe and Mail@globeandmail
Runway at Billy Bishop could need up to 900 metres of new landmass for jets, agency says theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Wild story by the great Canadian Broadcasting Company: A network of about 20 YouTube channels pushing Alberta separatism was actually run by a small group in the Netherlands. They used hired actors and “faceless” videos to make it look real.
And these weren’t small and meaningless channels, they got millions of views in total.
So what seemed like an organic grassroots movement was in reality cheap, mass-produced content farm to earn money, and push a political agenda on the side.
It's worth noting that both the US and Russia have been active in the Alberta separatist movement, and the key figures of the organization even met with Trump officials recently.

In leaked audio recordings, Peter Thiel revealed he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI.
He also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.
Here’s the full story.

Had a Jane Street interview in 2013 that still bothers me.
It was my 6th round. Final interview. The guy walks in carrying no laptop, no notebook, just a cold brew and what I later realized was a single IKEA tea candle.
He writes on the whiteboard:
food: $200
rent: $800
utilities: $150
candles: $3,600
family: dying
Then he turns around and says, “Optimize.”
I laughed because I thought it was a culture-fit bit. He did not laugh.
So I said, “Well, obviously you spend less on candles.”
He says, “Assume candles are non-discretionary.”
Okay.
I start building a model. Basic constraint satisfaction. Family survival as a soft penalty. Candles as a state variable. Maybe there’s an arbitrage where you buy wholesale paraffin and convert the $3,600 line item into inventory.
He stops me.
“You’re thinking like a consultant.”
That’s when I knew I was in trouble.
He says, “Give me a bid-ask on family dying.”
I say, “What?”
He says, “You’re long candles, short family. Where do you make markets?”
I try to recover. I say the real issue is liquidity: rent and utilities are fixed, food is elastic, candles are emotionally inelastic. Therefore the optimal strategy is to securitize future candle enjoyment and borrow against it.
He nods for the first time.
Then he asks, “What time do you sell the candles?”
I say, “Whenever the market is liquid?”
He says, “Be more specific.”
I say, “Uh… 10 a.m. Eastern?”
For the first time, he smiles.
He goes, “Every day?”
I say, “Every day.”
He says, “In size?”
I say, “In size.”
He says, “And what do we call that?”
I say, “Market manipulation?”
The room gets very quiet.
He looks disappointed and writes something down.
“No. We call it providing liquidity to candle ETFs during the U.S. cash open.”
I try to save it. “Right. Of course. The family isn’t dying because we underfunded them. They’re just experiencing temporary price discovery.”
He nods again.
Then he points back at the board.
I had missed it. The utility bill was $150, but candles provide light. You can zero out utilities.
I update the budget:
food: $200
rent: $800
utilities: $0
candles: $3,750
family: still dying, but now in a more capital-efficient way
He says, “How confident are you?”
I say, “0.95.”
He smiles and circles candles.
“0.95 huh?”
Then he asks me to estimate how many leveraged longs get liquidated if we dump $3,750 of candles at 10:00:01 every morning for 90 consecutive trading days.
Needless to say I did not get the offer.

Jane Street made ~$40B in 2025 with 3,500 employees, a ~2x from the year before. At ~65-70% profit margin, that's $8M profit / employee, the highest for a 1000+ ppl company. High-frequency trading continues to be the most efficient money making engine. I want to share an old story about my Jane Street interview in 2014. Jane Street was known for hiring a lot of math, physics and CS olympiad winners from top universities and putting them through many rounds - including, for trading roles, a gauntlet of mental math. It was my 6th interview and my final round and I recall being asked "What is the next day after today in DD/MM/YYYY where all the digits are unique?" They'd toy with you and say "You can use a pencil and paper, if you want" but you knew that was an instant no. Painstakingly and as quickly as I could, I came to an answer. "How confident are you that this is correct on a 0-1 probability scale?" the interviewer said. "0.95", I blurted out, not fully knowing how to answer that. "Are you sure?" After thinking harder for a few more seconds, I realized I could've flipped the digits around to get a closer date. I gave the interviewer my answer. It was correct. "0.95 huh?" he chuckled. That's when I knew I failed. Note: fwiw, other companies that come close in efficiency are - Tether ($90M+ profit/emp) - Hyperliquid ($80M+ profit/emp) and on revenue: - Valve ($50M/emp) - OnlyFans ($37M/emp) - Craigslist ($14M/emp) - Anthropic ($12M/emp, run rate) - OpenAI ($8M/emp, run rate) For comparison, Nvidia is very efficient at scale and is $4.4M/emp.

It's just so sad that there isn't more money in running cause this is truly such a superhuman achievement. Just unbelievable.

The 2-hour marathon was this generation's 4-minute mile. People debated whether human physiology could do it. The once-inconceivable achievement was broken today not by one runner, but two! Sabastian Sawe just ran 1:59:30 in London.
