Polymaths in this era will be undefeated
samagra14@samagra_sharma

@garrytan I heard you say at the retreat, long before Claude Code, that AI will bring back the Da Vinci polymath era. Not many sentences have aged this well.

Grok upgrades
X Freeze@XFreeze

The new Grok 4.20 Beta benchmarks are wild 🥇 #1 lowest hallucinating AI (22%) 🥇 #1 at following instructions (83%) 🥈 #2 in agentic tool use (97%) Grok 4.20 ranks #1 in the lowest hallucination rate ever recorded across all AI models tested globally Most models race to sound smart. Grok 4.20 was built to never lie and still dominates on instruction following and agentic tasks This is literally a 500B model performing top-notch in the things that matter most

@cordes_tax @grok I honestly love mechanical keyboards, the feel (of the physical switches) is unmatched. Buy a switch tester on Amazon as there are many options.

@AsAllocated @grok I already looked into this. But the timing of me also looking at a new mouse would allow me to bundle with Logitech. Plus, I'm interested in a slightly better keyboard.

Best keyboard for Mac users that also use Windows on Parallels? Everything I see keeps saying the Logitech MX Keys S. Anyone have this one?

Good private schools here cost $700K per child from kindergarten through high school. With 3 kids, that’s $2.1M. For a diploma. Just give each kid $700K at 18. That’s a house, a business, or a fully funded retirement account. No chance these schools beat that kind of head start.
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata

Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement. My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…

@AsAllocated @BongCapital Your experiences aren’t what most get introduced to. How many of your GPs even add new LPs? I think you should have some consideration for this, it is warranted.

@jonchimpo23 @BongCapital Yeah, there are for sure a lot of people taking advantage of HNW guys in the golf course and unsophisticated family offices

@AsAllocated @BongCapital I don’t disagree, I do the same thing. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be calling out the charlatans that target the masses either. All the predatory multifamily syndicators. Pop up PC shops. People starting VC funds that have no business doing that.

The cool part about rent control is watching tenants slowly become maintenance people against their will.

Nobody tells you that you can just not do the office job. You don't have to. You can work a physical job. It's absolutely okay. You may even prefer it. There's no shame AT ALL. You may even do gig work or remote work and work/earn less to enjoy life more. There's no blueprint. It's all OKAY and it's all up to you!

@jonchimpo23 @BongCapital The fact that this one example made the headlines supports that this is fairly rare occurrence and uncovered with basic diligence
