An extremely rare dynamic you may only come across a few times in your life is when a brother and sister are part of the same social/friends group. These siblings will be extremely fun but will also ruin many lives.

"but im a white guy working on ai" you can only fucking lol at something so incomprehensibly ignorant and out of touch let me get this straight– you were born and raised in quebec, and had the good fortune to study at mcgill - literally one of the world's best universities - for less than $5000 a year. then you did graduate studies at waterloo - canada's top school for computer science, and earned a masters in maths and a phd there. you then went on to move to America, work for Google, and later started your own ai company. and the narrative you want to weave around your upbringing and training is that you ESCAPED canadian socialism? so the socialism was good enough for you to grow up safe, have healthcare, receive a literal world-class education that helped you into one of the top technology firms in the world, but is also so bad that america has a moral imperative to ensure you, a technologist working there, should be granted permanent residency. and if your lack of gratitude for your upbringing wasnt enough, you were promoting a presidential candidate who was vehemently opposed to immigration – while you, an immigrant, were staying in their country with a temporary visa. i guess you can be smart enough to work on ai and quantum computing but still be dumb enough to not only think these things, but actually post them on twitter expecting sympathy

@RMantri The discourse about the exchange rates makes me peel my eyes out. With this level of widespread (on twitter at least) disastrous misunderstanding of what the ₹ devaluation means to an average consumer, I have no hopes the problem will ever be solved.

The sheer nonsense being peddled on USD/INR exchange rate is breathtaking! I repeat, for the vast majority of Indians (over 99% of the population, perhaps more than 99.9% of the population) there is no need at all to consider foreign investments or be bothered by what the USD level is at. Beware, there are some motivated financial interests and typical “intellectual” retards, which are hectoring the Govt and scaring consumers about this non-issue, or trying to pressurize the central bank to “defend” the rupee - which as the erudite Prof. @APanagariya has laid out, would not be wise at all x.com/i/status/20574… x.com/rmantri/status…

@DivaJain2 I'll assume you're genuinely curious. India is extremely dependent on energy, petrochemicals and many other imports for its normal functioning. None of these goods are sold in ₹. India produces insignificant things for the world. Hence no one needs ₹ except India.

@ekgunn @RepThomasMassie @gabbylovesusa Massie has a spine and a brain yo.. Thiel don't like those two things on the same body he buys.

@RepThomasMassie @gabbylovesusa If only Peter Thiel had chosen you, you could've been VP instead.

.@RepThomasMassie is the real Hillbilly Elegy.

@parmita Irrelevant side note... Paramita has a much better ring to it than Parmita.

@jbulltard1 Stop pissing in the Elmo punchbowl, will you? Some people _really_ like the taste.

I like how Kathy thinks this is some slick pivot when it really just means nobody is using grok so it had a ton of capacity to rent out

@Flowslikeosmo @boros_fi 90% off the highs you mean?

$PENDLE is now +90% off the lows It's quite obvious that the structural thesis from my prior finding is accelerating, and the market is pricing in the fee engine rather than TVL. This is important for a few reasons: - @boros_fi is contributing to the growth story, having launched into a cycle where rates have been volatile, exactly the environment it was designed for. - @Plasma is now generating 25.6% of all Pendle fees ($212K/30d) and growing faster than any other chain (highest fee efficiency of any Pendle chain) - sPENDLE is yielding 12–17% APY from actual fees and buybacks - $STRC yield via @apyx_fi and @saturn_credit has put ~$100M in active Pendle TVL Pendle is no longer just a yield protocol. It's becoming the pricing layer for every yield primitive that matters. DeFi-native, RWAs, funding rates, and now Bitcoin treasury dividends.

@Dan_Jeffries1 All of this sounds fine. Problem is... I share this exact opinion and I am provably stupid. What are the odds of me being in the correct camp for once?

AI will create more jobs than any other technology in history. The doomers' fundamental error isn't just the lump of labor fallacy. It's deeper than that. They assume a finite problem space. This is the fundamental error of AI and job doomers. They look at the economy and see a fixed amount of work to be done, a pie that can only be sliced thinner as machines take bigger bites. They see humans a competitive resource for a finite amount of work and a finite amount of problems to solve that must be eliminated. This is fundamentally, totally and completely wrong. The pie isn't fixed. It never was. And the reason it isn't fixed is baked into the very nature of technology itself. Technology is nothing but abstraction stacking. And abstraction stacking is infinite. Therefore the work is infinite. The hammer didn't reduce the amount of work. It moved the work up the stack. And the new work was more complex, more varied, and more interesting than the old work. Complexity breeds more complexity and more variety. Once you have houses instead of mud huts, you have a cascade of new problems that didn't exist before. Plumbing. Wiring. Insulation. Roofing materials that don't rot. Drainage systems so the foundation doesn't flood. Fire codes so your neighbor's bad wiring doesn't burn down the whole block. Each of those problems becomes a job. A plumber. An electrician. An insulator. A roofer. A civil engineer. A building inspector. None of those jobs existed when we lived in mud huts. They exist because we solved the mud hut problem. Think of all of human technological development as a stack of abstraction layers, each one built on top of the ones below it. At the bottom: raw survival. Finding food. Building shelter. Making fire. These are the base-layer problems. Each major technology wave solved a base-layer problem and in doing so created an entirely new layer of problems above it: Agriculture solved "how do we reliably eat?" — and created problems of land ownership, irrigation, crop rotation, storage, trade, taxation, and governance. Writing solved "how do we remember things across generations?" — and created problems of literacy, education, record-keeping, law, bureaucracy, and literature. The printing press solved "how do we spread knowledge at scale?" — and created problems of intellectual property, censorship, journalism, publishing, public opinion, and democratic discourse. The steam engine solved "how do we generate mechanical power without muscles?" — and created problems of factory design, worker safety, urban planning, railroad engineering, coal mining, labor relations, and environmental pollution. Electricity solved "how do we deliver energy anywhere?" — and created problems of grid design, power generation, appliance manufacturing, electrical safety codes, utility regulation, and an entire consumer electronics industry. The Internet solved "how do we connect all human knowledge?" — and created problems of cybersecurity, digital privacy, online commerce, content moderation, network infrastructure, cloud computing, social media dynamics, and an entire digital economy that employs tens of millions. Notice the pattern? Each solution didn't just solve a problem. It created an entirely new problem space that was larger, more complex, and more varied than the one it replaced. The stack grows. It never shrinks. It's turtles all the way down and all the way up.

@parmita Holy hell Parmita.. You're ruining panditji's reputation by spending all your time arguing with idiots. I'm glad to be learning all this but come on... do something better with your time 😂😂

@AaronBergman18 I sorta know how this unit came to be. People will argue that the Voltage is not constant etc. Still doesn't make it any less stupid and/or useless..

milli-ampere*hours (mAh, what you see on charging banks) is a serious contender for worst unit of all time. It is almost never useful and serves exclusively to obscure rather than clarify It is NOT an amount of energy

@parmita Some things never change. You could change the world this summer and your mom will still give panditji 90% of the credit. BTW.. that was 100% an urgent call 😆

@amandalfischer You know you are bullshitting. We know you are bullshitting. You know we know you are bullshitting. Who is this performance for?

I like pointing policymakers to the Coinbase subreddit when they ask if stablecoins will make the financial system more accessible From 3 days ago, comparing a 2.8% transfer fee for stablecoins v 0.6% at a bank:

@RishiJoeSanu Pity those who cannot see beauty in the world. They all look like pleasant women. Love how happy the lady in the second pic looks with her semi-smile.

The woe of Tamil women to face the brunt of racism simultaneously from Pakistanis and North Indians despite being the most successful ethnicity from South Asia, geographically & culturally far removed from the legacy of partition & the vendetta between Pakistanis & North Indians

@HPluckrose Hmm.. I have no horse in this race but isn't it a crime against statistics when an opinion about the general is countered by an example of the specific?

I exist because just over a century ago, an Italian diplomat raped his 14-year-old maid & then dumped her in an East London Catholic home for unmarried mothers. She had no option of abortion. She was abused & blamed, gave birth & fled. Her son grew up there where he was abused 1/

@udiWertheimer I think the world needs DeFi- sincerely. I am annoyed by the question because I have had first hand experience of the amount of friction in finance in less mature economies. Defi can allow for the leapfrog opp similar to what cellphones did to primitively wired countries.

ok so this is going to annoy some people but why is defi necessary

@biancoresearch I'm convinced America never quite understood the word 'marginal'. That's the root of all the naive grasp on most concepts in the US.

Lots of posts in my feed crowing that empty tankers are sailing to the US for crude oil. I guess they forgot that this means demand for US crude and higher prices. Go to your local gas station and see if you can spark a "U-S-A" chant at the pumps. Let us know how it goes.

@beatsinbrief 110-140 in a year for a season that lasts ~4 months is about one a day. That's pitiful numbers. All that I'm taking away from this is that India needs to pump those numbers up by 10x at least.

India produces ~150–200 billion mangoes per year, but consumes almost all of it domestically, exporting less than 1% globally each year That’s roughly 110–140 mangoes per person per year

@jeffthedunker Why are we eulogizing something that's still actively being developed. I'd like ETH emerge due to its true neutrality but let's not pretend Tempo can be written off yet. I hate the duplicity of the team but let them have an organic realization of their mistakes.

remember Tempo?

@RobertJMolnar I don't buy the 'nobody is voting for a woman excuse'. Hillary was absolutely competent but lost due to overconfidence and DNC foolery. Kamala was incompetent and hoisted upon the ticket without a proper primary. Despite that, she came close.

when will you democrats figure it out Kamala had her shot....failed Hillary had her shot...failed Nobody is voting for a woman, and for sure not a minority woman....the country is not there yet The fact that this complete disaster dipshit moron convict criminal fraud conman beat both of them should tell you something
