@realEstateTrent 100%, closed a deal last week, neither parties would budge, paid for repairs myself, took commission cut, scraped paint off floors for hours, grouted , caulked , deep cleaned and more just to get across finish line… home had intercostal waterway access so was desirable property

@therealtblake Congrats, well played

And make 75k, huh … my wife and I both have masters degrees in EDU and teach/counselor for 15+ years and don’t make 75k, we also didn’t get a 500-600k jumpstart ….. please tell me what the NCAA needs to care about, and also tell me why this would be a fail. My kids have great opportunities, a wonderful house, I do work multiple jobs but am grateful for what I have.

Ding. Ding. Ding. It’s not the top kids that this system will fail. It’s the kids who make $500k and then $600k. They graduate, their careers sputter out and then go to get an office job and make $75k. What are they going to do then. The ncaa won’t care…

@CryptoTaxSucks Idk man, sounds like your falling into the range of things AI is replacing 😅

My wife ripped into me today when I didn't remember a conversation we had. I usually have a great memory and win these fights. But she was bringing up specific talking points, and it was hard to argue. I thought I was done for. Then I remembered to ask "Are you sure you didn't have this conversation with AI?" Turns out, the conversation was in her chat history 🤣 I live to see another day.

@ltrd_ Great read, thanks for sharing your thoughts

@aakashgupta Incredible to me how a high % of the comments immediately go to “clearly a creator, intelligent design, etc…” if there is anything at all to conclude by reading this, is that we understand nothing.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output. The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice. Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet. And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.” This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one. We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that. The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

@realEstateTrent My favorite is when they inevitably come back to you because they know you will actually close the deal. This after the best and highest buyer who won backed out due to failing at post contract negotiation of driving down the price they didn’t want to pay in the first place.

I don’t do Best and Final. We’re real. We’ll close. We don’t play games.

@RealSlickNickk @DuncOnDemand He saw the safety was going to close, he str8 lines that it’s an INT… great throw

@DuncOnDemand i feel like that drifted on him he throws that straight it’s prolly a TD

Bro

I get the sentiment and you do foster a great discussion with your posts, but I will add this post doesn’t seem to be taking into account how many HORRID bosses there are and how those experiences could absolutely drive this type of response from the guy your frustrated with. I think people of quality (certainly how you present yourself on X) tend forget how they are the 1% not the norm.

Side note: Can't tell if it's the new algo or people getting bored on BluSkie and returning, but I'm getting more of these unhelpful responses lately. As a reminder: I *always* welcome good-faith disagreement, objections, clarifications, questions, etc. But this kind of response just worsens the experience for everyone.

We should normalize a good employee talking to his boss almost immediately after he has tentatively concluded he wants a new job. 1. Gives the boss time to prepare some kind of counter-offer (another position, more compensation, etc.) 2. Gives the boss time to find a replacement and ensure a smooth transition (in this model, the employee should work hard over remaining time in the position to help!) 3. Allows the boss to use her network to help the employee find a suitable new role (thus benefiting the exiting employee, earning the boss credit with the new employer, and strengthening the boss' "alumni network" in the industry) Note this only works if the boss (1) is motivated by enlightened self-interest, or (2) is a decent person).

Great Question. Privileged answer *corrected Yes this makes a great reel, great sound bite etc… reality is the opportunity of getting that $$, coming out of college debt free with investments, a degree, and the ability to buy real estate/home immediately is what is life changing…. It’s the #1 most important aspect, not 1 of 10. It’s what parents should be parenting on, not “competing” to be a pro athlete with an infinitesimal chance of going pro.

Great question. Awesome answer.

@girdley @MrDylanCollins @moseskagan Doesn’t help now , but AI agent customizable launch platforms will solve this in the near future…. Google/Meta will eventually buy the startup that is the winner if they don’t do it first themselves.

@MrDylanCollins @moseskagan I'll take the under. This is a non-mission-critical personal SaaS feature that only a few power users want. The best hope is that Gemini gets good enough to add it to Gmail for you. But that's a long time away, I think.

Recently, I can't escape feeling like I'm allowing unbelievable amounts of value go to waste, bc I don't do a good job of keeping in touch with people in my network. Is there a piece of software that: - I give it access to my email - It scans all of my messages and creates a CRM w the names of everyone with whom I've ever interacted, their contact info, a bit about them (both from email context and LinkedIn / web search), when we last emailed and what we emailed about?

@girdley @MrDylanCollins @moseskagan I don’t think you’re considering the agentic ecosystem that is being built out and how customized it will be. Google will be all over this with their distribution

@_zkmike Depends if you did any balance sports prior, if not it’s gonna take a good year+ to get to the point where you can ride waves consistently … if you have balance experience one summer is plenty

How longs it take to get good at surfing realistically?

@NickStevensHS Then Horn said nope I’ve got you both covered

Bryce was like… hold my beer 🍺

Cool study, love the depth of it. But a bit of pushback to it. The best soccer players in the world come out of the European clubs, that’s not opinion, plenty of data to correlate. They specialize early and are consistent through childhood. The variation is the top players in the 8-14 age range at a top club “usually” aren’t the best when they are in their 20s and pro. Those come from others in the same club who don’t burn out/peak and out work the top players. That’s the nuance that correlates with this paper. But not being in those top tier groupings at all and not specializing during the 8-14 age range DRAMATICALLY reduces chances a player plays professionally from a mathematical perspective. To add it is personality dependent IMO. If a kid wants to specialize on their own accord, then support it, if they don’t , pushing it is the worst thing you could do as a parent/coach.

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.

@cobie In Real Estate it’s always the guy who looks homeless with the beat up truck who buys multi million dollar properties 😂

Everyone at the CB event kept telling me that I look like I am homeless. Nice to meet u as well

@therealtblake I’ve read these books especially Polar Bear and Brown Bear to both my boys many times… classics

Best known for the Very Hungry Catepillar, his work was never publically sold and majority of originals exist at his family run museum.

@lBattleRhino If you read rhythmically you can tell which are bots. They all have smoother/repetitive/predictive rhythm meanwhile the 2iq crowd is much choppier and unpredictable imo

@RmadridElRey Elite players create new movements/adaptations, specific to their style, that eventually is adopted by the masses. The James Harden step back/sideways movement to get his shot off in the NBA is a great example in recent history and comparable IMO to what Mbappe has created.

Except he is not actually off-balance. It’s a shooting technique where he directs all the force from his upper body to his lower body in a sort of “falling over” posture. Hope this helps😘

@CryptoTaxSucks butler for example on Virtuals

@CoachsCornerILM Got all that covered except AI agent wallet…wut dis?
