The news is out! HOW TO RULE THE WORLD will be published by @penguinpress on 5/19—about 3 weeks before my graduation. From slush funds to yacht parties to fraud, the book captures Silicon Valley’s training ground as never seen before. Meet the kids learning to rule the world.

How muted has the pushback been to anti-Muslim comments in the GOP? Asked Ted Cruz, who is vocal about antisemitism, if leaders should also speak up against comments like “Muslims don’t belong" in the U.S. -- “We need to be vigilant stopping radical Islamic terrorism," he said

"Nearly five years." Investigative journalism takes years and years. The investment is immense, and always worth it, and, in the era of "hot takes" and ephemeral "content," rigorously reported journalistic work is needed more than ever. We must keep supporting investigative journalism. From @mannyNYT, lead reporter of the blockbuster piece on Cesar Chavez ⤵️

I'm sad to hear that Prof. Takeshi Amemiya of @Stanford has passed. He was a brilliant econometrician and gifted teacher. As a student, I took several classes with him. My favorite memory: Whenever a student would ask him a hard question, he would stop short and stare straight up at the ceiling in awkward silence. Suddenly, when the answer came to him, a look of glee would appear on his face. "Ahh!" he'd say and meticulously write out a fully worked-out proof on the chalkboard. He had such a clean way of thinking about probability, statistics, and econometrics. I will always be grateful for everything he taught me. I wish all comfort to his family and to all who knew and loved him.

Takeshi Amemiya, a giant in econometrics, passed away. Rest in peace. economics.stanford.edu/news/takeshi-a…

If the journalist complied with the demand to change his story, he’d get a cut of the profits. Refuse, the bettor said, and we’ll “finish you.” My story today on how online gamblers allegedly tried to extort a war reporter so they could win a bet: wapo.st/4lI6Pon

The point is that Andreessen made a factual claim—and is factually very wrong. Tons and tons and tons of examples of introspection before the modern period and in many of history’s most important figures.

Or perhaps Augustine’s confessions? “And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.”

It's so weird to me that people keep posting exchanges like this and thinking they come off well... Like, congrats, you were rude to a reporter politely asking to hear your thoughts? Is that really such an impressive dunk?

San Jose State University is investigating antisemitic graffiti found on campus calling for “Jew eradication days.” Yes, you read that right. Other graffiti found included “Kill all Jews” and “Goal 5 Jews Min.” This is antisemitism, plain and simple. abc7news.com/post/san-jose-…

This was the only newspaper ad Y Combinator ever ran, in the Stanford Daily. Also the only time I ever wrote ad copy.

@adamconner That's fair, all of the distinctions are kind of blurry now. Microsoft also announced that they'd invest $5bn in Anthropic and continues to host on Azure. Still—their far larger stake is obviously in OAI which scooped up the DOD contract, so interesting nonetheless...

@jaybee484 Yep. ~27% or around $130bn (+ a reported 20% revenue share agreement). FWIW Microsoft also announced it would invest $5bn in Anthropic, so the whole ecosystem is pretty twisted/interconnected.
