@DavidSacks “threaded” >> you need to get the tense right.

By large majorities, the American people don’t want Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb. They also don’t want another Forever War in the Middle East. President Trump threaded this needle perfectly.

@Ike_Saul this.

A lot of people on this website clearly didn't watch this entire meet, much of which was pretty run of the mill. At lest watch the moments leading up to it going off the rails, then be the judge of whether Zelensky crossed a line: youtube.com/live/BDfwc-zTz…

To be clear: this entire thing went off the rails because Zelensky made the catastrophically offensive move of pointing out the reality that Putin broke a ceasefire in 2015 and that when Vance talks about diplomacy, he can’t explain how Putin is a trustworthy partner. Zelensky simply spoke the truth, which Vance deemed totally unacceptable and offensive because he was trying to “litigate” the issue in front of the press. And then it unraveled from there. Just wild.

@blueorigin fantastic, congratulations

Second stage engine cutoff confirmed. New Glenn’s second stage and payload are now in orbit. Another burn coming up...

The corner of my office still holds some mementos from that historic first launch of Starship 🤣

Charlie Munger fans would be able to understand this. A friend has messaged me this morning: Sadly Charlie has nothing more to add.

@QVHenkel Curious: How is Elmer FEM dynamic EM modeling nowadays? I worked with it about 12 years ago, started to get some decent results, but had to break off to do other stuff…

The 3D models of inductors provided by Würth electronic are detailed enough to model the eddy currents that form in the copper planes under the component. I use the Elmer FEM transient magnetic solver to simulate the eddy currents under an inductor at 100kHz

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.” He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time Y: Good fortune / ill fortune He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.” Point 1: Stories have defined patterns. In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes. Each story, he said, fit one of the 8. Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for. Point 3: End on a high note. Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you. *** “There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” I wrote this with @RobbieCrab. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising. And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow @nathanbaugh27 for more like that.

@AstroMikeMerri 99th percentile SAT, vs 60th percentile SAT - which one likely to better diagnose your problem? (hint; not the 1st)

I seriously doubt I would even get into a good US PhD programme these days. I wasn’t particularly focused on it, so didn’t collect a whole heap of pre-doc experience. I am not at all convinced that it is healthy to recruit from such a hyper-focused pool.

You forget sometimes how good Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were together. This sketch would be nothing on paper but my word, the execution. Top notch.

@VonGeisler 😳

Ciao for a few weeks.

@hugowiz @threadreaderapp unroll

Maybe you started the year by making a resolution and a plan to execute on. A list of books to read, like Lex Fridman, a weight target, a healthy lifestyle, a side project, a career change or a change in behaviour. 1/n

FIFPRO is shocked and sickened by reports that professional footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani faces execution in Iran after campaigning for women’s rights and basic freedom in his country. We stand in solidarity with Amir and call for the immediate removal of his punishment.
