@sundeep 1) Screw the grifting pedo sympathizers at the All In Scamcast
2) Look at the dipshit on the left taking notes like he's saying something that isn't just word-salad hype jargon & he needs to be sure to capture the details 😂

Caesar's engineer figured out in 25 BC that damp buildings make people sick.
Let that sit.
Not a doctor. Not a scientist. An engineer. With a chisel and a scroll.
He looked at swamps, looked at the people living near swamps, and wrote it down in De Architectura:
'The neighbourhood of a marshy place must be avoided… fogs and mists charged with unwholesome effluvia will diffuse over the bodies of the inhabitants and render the place pestilent.'
He even described how excess moisture entering the body 'introduces disproportion… the virtues of the mixture dissolved.'
That's immune dysregulation from environmental exposure.
Written in 25 BC.
With a quill.
Meanwhile, I spent 45 minutes in a doctor's office trying to explain that my building might be making me sick and got referred to a therapist.
He didn't have air quality sensors. He didn't have ERMI dust testing. He didn't have a single peer-reviewed citation.
He just looked at the evidence in front of him and connected the dots.
We have satellites. We have HVAC. We have the entire internet.
Vitruvius figured it out with observation.
We are not smarter than ancient Rome. We are just Rome with wifi and worse excuses.

if you were in crypto for the past few years, a horrible sense of deja vu should grip you
entire cycle of companies that raised too much at too high of a valuation, companies attempting to IPO with no liquidity in the market, companies that were just fraud all along, late stage funds open to the public performing like DATcos and echo rounds etc
recently turned down stakes in a late stage fund of 'hot' companies set to IPO this year
brace for impact
José Maria Macedo@ZeMariaMacedo
Robbinhood Ventures, which holds some of the best private companies (Databricks, Stripe, Revolut, etc), went public on NYSE and is trading at a ~10% discount to NAV Not a good sign for private market valuations when liquid wrappers trade *below* the illiquid underlying

Turns out the gang of migrants who tortured and raped the 12-year-old Anna, and were fully acquitted,had a second victim.
Lilly is also 12 years old. She was systematically groomed and raped by the gang. Among other things, they wrote to her: “Do you really want to be found dead in a dumpster, cut into little pieces?”
The Result: all were acquitted AGAIN and set free to prey on local girls in Vienna. Meanwhile, these judges are convicting Austrians for social media posts about “egg dumplings”, cause they claim it is a "secret nazi message"

@xwonde6 @stats_feed the membership fee also keeps out most of the shrinkage / 5-finger-discount crew.

@stats_feed Costco’s 14% markup cap is just brilliant PR. They still rake in billions while making you feel morally superior for buying a 50-lb bag of quinoa you'll never finish. Membership fee is the real markup, sheeple pay $60–$120/year to feel like smart shoppers

Costco has a company policy that no regular item will be marked up more than 14% over cost & no Kirkland Signature item will be marked up more than 15% over cost.
Costco runs "very lean", with overhead costs at 10% of revenue & profit margins at 2% (e.g. it has no PR dept. & buys no outside ads).

🚨 BREAKING
Bank of Canada study confirms what I mentioned years ago.
The decline in GDP/capita is because
WE ARE LOSING THE TOP EARNERS.
40% of Canadians who WOULD be top 1% earners have emigrated to the United States.
30-50% of the next tier? Gone too.
They’re more educated than native-born Americans.
They earn more.
They cluster in the top income brackets.
We’re not just in a brain drain.
We’re exporting our entire upper class.
And what’s left behind?
GDP per capita that grew 3.2% in TEN YEARS while the US grew 20.2%.
We fell below the OECD average for the first time in recorded history.
Food bank usage doubled.
Wait times hit 28.6 weeks.
Happiness ranking at an all-time low.
Government spending went from 38% to 45% of the economy.
We have more government with less results.
THE BEST PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.

BREAKING: Vitalik states that @Pumpfun has killed memecoins by turning new retail investors entering the crypto space into degenerate gamblers and with no real-world use, the industry will die fast.
He also stated that @pumpfun has been a net negative to crypto since it was released in 2024 by draining the $crypto ecosystem with coins like the $Trump coin eroding trust.

Take your card number and starting from the second-to-last digit, double every second digit moving left. If doubling a digit produces a number greater than nine, subtract nine from the result. Then add all the digits together, the doubled ones and the untouched ones. If the total is divisible by ten, the number is valid. If it isn’t, the number is mathematically impossible as a card number and the form rejects it on the spot.
This is the Luhn algorithm written in 1954 by a computer scientist at IBM named Hans Peter Luhn. It still runs inside every payment form on the internet today. And it turns out that valid card numbers are not random. They follow this mathematical rule, and any number that breaks it is immediately disqualified without ever touching a bank’s systems. No server contacted. No database checked. No network request made. The validation happens entirely on your device, in milliseconds.
The first six digits do additional work before the Luhn check even runs. They are called the Issuer Identification Number; the first digit identifies the card network (4 means Visa, 5 means Mastercard, 3 means Amex), and the following digits identify the specific bank that issued the card. This is why payment forms show you the Visa or Mastercard logo the moment you type the first digit. No server needed. The network is encoded in the number itself.
The last digit of every card number is called the check digit it exists for no other purpose than to make the entire number pass the Luhn algorithm. When a bank generates a new card number, it calculates what the last digit must be to make the sequence valid, then stamps it on the card. It is a built-in mathematical fingerprint.
Gracia@straceX
As a developer, have you ever wondered: You type a 16‑digit card number and the form instantly says “Invalid card number”. There are billions of possible numbers. How the hell is that check that fast?

@signulll @kahntweets A lot of models are heavy on confirmation bias to make people feel good about their conclusions and keep chasing down the same trails.
English
@kahntweets yeah i think misalignment of incentive structures of the makers is prolly a way bigger issue than misalignment of the model itself.
English
i just don’t think ppl still grasp how hard of a problem building a good model really is… esp since these releases come out so frequently now with greater & greater “benchmarks” a lot of ppl often just take it for granted.
e.g. take something like sycophancy.. ideally you want a good model to push back (requires something like conviction) but also adapt (requires something like flexibility) without the two collapsing into either rigidity or spinelessness. this is a tension humans often spend their whole lives failing to resolve.
this stuff is just genuinely the most baffling stuff i’ve personally ever encountered. i mean we in tech used to spend time mostly arranging buttons & text sizes, now we’re spending time building an entity that has to fluidly interact with everyone in the world. what a ridiculous problem space.

This case is insane. Black man on drugs crashes into a semi. He tries to get back in his car and flee the scene. Cop instructs woman to go get his license plate number. Woman jumps in her car to pursue him to get his license plate. She pulls her car in front of him while on 911, he approaches her and slaps the phone out of her hand and begins struggling with her. She pulls her gun out of her holster and the parties struggle for it and the man is shot and dies.
The woman is now being tried for murder. Unbelievable.

The alleged victim in this case, Kenneth Herring, blew through a red light and slammed into a semi-trailer, hard enough to make it tilt. An off-duty officer who approached him noticed that he seemed impaired. /1

Context: According to Grok the plaintiffs of this are basically trying to squeeze out an extra $2B or so out of Elon because they claim when he said “there are bots on the platform” it whipsawd the price of the then public Twitter stock and lost money or caused them emotional trauma or whatever.

At one point in college, I had an obese roommate.
After a few weeks, she complained about how lucky I was to be thin, since I ate more than her.
The thing is, however, that I absolutely did not eat more than her, in terms of calories or just amount of food.
She put ranch on everything. 600 calorie drinks. Endless snacking.
Maybe my plate was more full than hers at dinner, but it was obvious tp everyone but her that she was consuming more throughout the day.
I'm sorry, but after multiple instances of this happening with other overweight people, I just don't trust when someone heavy insists they're in caloric deficit.
Maybe some people lose weight faster than others. For sure. But it's simple science that if calories out exceed calories in, you WILL lose weight.

@anymanfitness I ate 1200 for 44 days straight. Measured and weighed everything. I gained weight. I wish was I kidding.

> New businesses are creating fewer jobs.. the startups that were supposed to absorb laid-off workers aren't hiring either.. AI handles the first 5 roles now
> Jensen Huang told tech CEOs to "stop scaring people about AI".. the man whose company made $216 billion selling the chips powering every layoff on this list.. his advice? "shh.. be quieter about it"
> Bernie Sanders sat down and recorded a podcast with Claude AI.. asked it about mass data collection.. and the AI confirmed everything.. companies tracking your location.. your purchases.. your browsing.. selling it.. and using political microtargeting to fragment reality.. the AI snitched on its own industry to a US Senator.. on camera
> They officially announced Val Kilmer is starring in a new movie.. Val Kilmer died last year.. they're using AI to resurrect him frame by frame for a film called "As Deep As the Grave"
> A WNBA player launched an AI clone of herself.. fans can call it 24/7.. it has her voice.. her personality.. she doesn't even have to be awake

> A guy from North Carolina used AI to make hundreds of thousands of fake songs.. botted billions of streams.. and walked away with $8 million before getting caught.. first-ever criminal AI streaming fraud case
all of this happened in ONE day, See you tomorrow. It'll be worse.

🚨 Do you understand what this man just pulled off..
> a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million
> 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to
real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience
first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started
the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.

It's sad to see former thriving towns in Middle America decay
No one wants to move here
Real estate is dirt cheap
So I bought up land and redeveloped one
Now we have hundreds of new citizens moving in, property values are rising again, and the residents have access to luxury amenities like a brand new Target
This is the template for what we're going to do all over the Midwest
