Every tech CEO for the last 30 years: College is useless. drop out of college and build something. Find a trade. Also every tech CEO: *only hires from Stanford/MIT/Harvard* Also every tech CEO: *spends millions getting their mid kids into Stanford/MIT/Harvard*
Molly O’Shea@MollySOShea

BREAKING: Chris Power CEO of Hadrian says “Everyone should tell their kids to quit college & get welding degrees” "The country needs you." “The next 2 decades is blue collar.” Hadrian is also bringing back Pepperidge Farms & baking. “All the white-collar jobs are going to get automated.” “We’re gonna see massive hyperinflation in blue-collar salaries.” "I think one of the greatest opportunities for private capital — apart from public-private investment alongside the Department of War (@DeptofWar) — is to build Chick-fil-A’s & bars around all of our factories. That’s free alpha. Please come set up franchises around all of our factories. We need to eat so we can work harder for the country."

@timsoret Simpler, board normally and then launch 1-2 sections right before the train passes and unhook the back cars at each stop. Whole train is a FIFO queue, people have time to board slowly and slowly walk backward to their stop

Many people recognize that the Jones Act is a very bad law that inflicts considerable harm on the US. So why is it so impervious to change? Let's take a deep dive, starting with an overview and then getting into the nitty-gritty of JA influence ops. (warning: *very* long 🧵)

@roman_koshchei @chris_dalke visual is geogessr, photo -> location, often “photo taken looking down from a drone to hashed satellite photos”. inertial is things like accelerometers and gyroscopes -> location, often “gyroscopes into kalman filter”

@EricDLombardi the art deco water treatment plant, or even derelict structures just upstream of niagra falls, are glorious. Meanwhile uoft is unironically referring to an underground parking garage with sod on top as a once-in-a-generation “landmark” project

Like in building this, did anyone in the city really think that we could leave a cultural institution that future residents would think as beautiful 100 years from Now? Mostly cheap execution and a lot of money spent!

I think St. Lawrence Market is a great example of Toronto’s civic and institutional cultural decline. St. Lawrence Market North, which we spent nearly $150M building, literally looks like a prison concourse. At least you can see St. Lawrence south built 100yr+ ago!

In many ways, one of the most under-discussed symbols of western decline is the loss of cultural spirit in our bureaucracies (and in many businesses in our private sector). Toronto may be one of the best examples.

Project Arrow, @APMACanada’s groundbreaking all-🇨🇦 prototype concept vehicle is at @hannover_messe in Germany this week. Our COO Lauren Tedesco & team presented it to 🇩🇪 Chancellor @Bundeskanzler. He asked “when will it will go into production?”. ‘We are building a fleet!’ 🇨🇦

@kareem_carr this a bad visualization though. It should be a % of census numbers or some other expectation. At least log it or label the last three or sth? The noise among the 40m cols is not interesting. The last three bins are the most interesting, this rounds them to zero px. unhelpful

Took one for the team and made a histogram of the Elon social security data. Not sure why his data scientists are just giving him raw tables like that.

@surelyagerbil @littmath Wait quant funds? I agree, but that's a perfect example of universities out-researching a whole industry. The last big innovation was a math dept spinout that dunked on everybody so hard they're all RenTech knockoffs now. The innovation that obsoletes RenTech won't be from a fund

There are actually more functional institutions. However, they are mostly highly specialized and completely ill suited (and often have little interest) in this type of venture. I don't see quant funds taking on 99% of University research... That said, if someone proposed a serious idea, I'd listen.

@aidangomez The military just closed an 'ITQ' for a 500,000,000 CAD health record system. They required an insane "integrator with a half dozen subcontractors who 5 years ago billed 20M+ at least twice". Their plan (before 'managed expectations') is to have a web portal in 6 years. Wild.

the 4th most painful bit of trying to use Julia are the amount of abandonware. somebody has forked convex.jl and just pasted the entire CVX documentation into a README in a "CVX.jl" github and then abandoned it a decade ago

world expert on cities “For example in Canada in Edmonton close to Toronto”… Ah yes, while not as close as Toronto exurbs like Denver and Miami, but certainly closer than say, Paris or the moon

@JustinTrudeau @cohere Love that we’re taking swings, but what about supporting startups as well? They just raised 750m in a series D, dumping 200m into that pot won’t change much. I feel like one hundred $2m bets on founders may result in a couple coheres. let’s do both

@CharlotteDuLan The CDO is an RA. You sit (sleep) in the dorm closest to the meal hall, people bang on the door if toilets are backing up, you jot down ambulance rides in a book, in the morning you go wake up whoever is supposed to have reported to put up the flags.

@CharlotteDuLan each sqn has 3 flights, each flight has 3 sections. In practice only the 1st year flight during FYOP is special/has much 'command', afterward most everything happens at the SQN level. CSLs and CSCs are not strongly linked to year other than the 1st year flight.

Well that can’t be the case. I was told 15 years ago by the top network engineers that it was theoretically impossible for wireless to be better than wired internet.

@CouchMicroscopy it’s too vague to answer. where are you now? do you need a “how to install, what is a dict?” course? or “my custom python handles <100TB of fastas but I need help distributing” course? probably something in the middle.
