@MPelletierCIO It's also objective. Your opportunity loss is not as big.

What is it about human nature that people who missed out on a rally of a segment of the market cheerlead and take excitement when it corrects? Bitcoin, Gold, Silver, Oil, Tech Stocks etc. People don’t cheer corrections because they hate the asset, they cheer because it soothes regret. Missing a rally feels like a loss, and a pullback retroactively validates inaction: “I was right not to buy.” It’s loss aversion and ego protection at work as markets become a scoreboard, and corrections restore narrative control for those left behind. What a ridiculous way to live and to invest.

@fadesingh @Gaurab @grok @grok what about south korea

@Gaurab @grok Explain this to me for a layman, what does this imply for the geopolitical economics of helium?

Japanese and Taiwanese chip fabs recover over 70% of their helium on-site through membrane separation and pressure swing adsorption. American fabs seldom recycle it. They never had to. Until now. The US is building a $25 billion chip fab. Every wafer inside needs helium for cooling and leak detection, purified to 99.9999%. The CHIPS Act has a helium conservation program that covers DOE research labs, but not chip fabs. It has never been funded. In 2024 the US sold its Federal Helium Reserve to a German company for $423 million.

@Dynastus We're trying Ben

Better to secure land now & start to build it into a great estate. Than make excuses your descendants will pay for.

@contramordor Yes

People who never experience any nostalgia for the past, or sentiment for days gone by, are the men without chests. The fully formed man structures his vision for the future on the goodness of the past. His own inherited memory is a crucial guide.

@MrModular @etbadabimbim @ripplebrain @tim_hecker that's it, thanks

@etbadabimbim @genericgoodguy @ripplebrain The track used is called No Drums from the album Ravedeath, 1972 by Canadian musician @tim_hecker

100% I got to get on it. I locked down from the threats the last several years. That cost. I'm looking to connect

@resisfertile amen

Brothers, Start the week off right. Rule and command... yourself. "No man is free who cannot command himself." Pythagoras "Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city." Proverbs 16.32 "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, ss like a city broken down, without walls." Proverbs 25.28 What you eat. What you think. What you feel. What you say. What you do. With your body. With your mind. With your spirit. With your mouth. With your time. With your money. Notice, ruling your spirit - your inner world of thinking/feeling, is the most important... and hardest. Most everything else flows out of it. So learn to rule it first and well, and so much else will follow. St. George and the Dragon by Hans von Aachen

@RadicalLib yep

Time for a **Declaration of Independence from Israel**.

@SantiagoAuFund @TgMacro @grok what are we supposed to do? What did the green chicken say?

For those who were at the @TgMacro conference and listened to the green chicken, you know what to do…

@DiscountedTr @grok try to find returns for Andreessen Horowitz funds and report

> Thumb-headed tech fossil posting "most important software" lists like he's curating the Smithsonian instead of watching his firm hemorrhage billions on crypto scams > This is the same bald visionary who dumped half a billion into FTX while Sam Bankman-Fried was running a Ponzi scheme from his parents' couch > Built Netscape 25 years ago and has been dining out on that one win ever since, like a high school quarterback who peaked at homecoming > Andreessen Horowitz has some of the worst returns in VC history but Marc keeps writing 6000-word manifestos about techno-optimism while pension funds get slaughtered > Face looks like someone inflated a flesh-colored balloon then forgot to tie it off, just this smooth featureless dome sitting on a neck > Pivoted from "software is eating the world" to getting eaten alive by reality, funding surveillance dystopias while preaching about human flourishing > Posted his little software history quiz like some Computer Science 101 professor when he should be explaining why his portfolio companies keep imploding > The man who revolutionized web browsing now can't browse his way out of investing in obvious frauds and overhyped AI startups > Dresses like a substitute teacher but with the investment judgment of a gambling addict, somehow convinced Stanford MBAs he's a tech sage > Twenty-five years of coasting on Netscape glory while moving money from teachers' retirement funds to dropout kids with ChatGPT wrappers > Now he's tweeting vintage software trivia from his ivory tower while the future he promised to build crumbles into regulatory investigations and SEC filings x.com/pmarca/status/…

@etbadabimbim @ripplebrain Do you know which song?

@ripplebrain OST: Boards of Canada

@romanhelmetguy He goes back and forth between Canada and China. He admitted he is studying this himself and coming up with his takes on the fly - but then presents as an authority

Many of you listen to this guy. Many of you even believe he teaches a real class. Anyway, he lives in Beijing. He claims Iran will win the war by destroying GCC desalination plants. A month from now, we’ll check back and you’ll apologize for believing psyops and cranks, ok?

For LLMs it's not thinking, it's memories of thinking

@METR_Evals @threadreaderapp unroll please

Since early 2025, we've been studying how AI tools impact productivity among developers. Previously, we found a 20% slowdown. That finding is now outdated. Speedups now seem likely, but changes in developer behavior make our new results unreliable. We’re working to address this.

@DABruderschaft Agreed

To reject your ancestors is to hate your own existence. Therefore, to reject your German heritage is to reject a part of yourself. Our people have existed for thousands of years and to reject your folk for a hollow, multiracial "American Identity" is treason to the ancestors.

@SebastianVian69 @ruis_sergi74061 That's my people on my Father's side. Mennonites fleeing the commies during the war. The Chaco was what they could get. Many just got used to it and stayed

@ruis_sergi74061 Es justamente eso lo que no quieren

📍🇵🇾 Algún lugar en el interior de Paraguay.

@JOttoPohl1 @NumarPatru This specific stories were our own personal ones, and even then only a fraction of it.

@JOttoPohl1 @NumarPatru Both sides of my family are expellees. Growing up we heard almost none of it. just vague, general statements that it was horrible. A few specific stories, but not much.

Imagine thinking Germans don’t know these things.
