Underrated that Peter Thiel’s interpretation of One Piece was pretty spot on thematically given the final antagonist reveal

@afalkhatib 4.5? you're on crack

For the first time in three decades, the dollar is collapsing against the Israeli Shekel, which is used in the Palestinian territories and upon which the entire Palestinian economy is built in Gaza and the West Bank. 1 USD is 3 New Israeli Shekels (NIS) after normally being in the 4.5-3.3ish range for the past three decades. This is causing problems for the Palestinian Authority, employees, public sector, NGOs, and the financial sector, which already suffers from several serious issues. This is driven by robust economic growth in Israel, the perceived strengthening of the country's geopolitical position in the Middle East, and the massive growth in defense exports. Some will point to this as evidence of Israel's remarkable resilience after two and a half years of wars and the worst attack against the country in its history, while others will use this to argue for reduced foreign assistance to an already rich and capable state. Regardless, definitely something to keep an eye out for.

Just to be clear: You copy and paste. You do not add any unique commentary. You leverage your follower count to take impressions from other posts. Our users derive no value from this. You are welcome to continue to do this, but it does not create any business value for X or enrich our timeline.

I mean its pretty genius what x is doing because they just won’t have to pay anyone out and they will hope the creators will stay because they aren’t going to leave their fanbase

@centristpeater No one in our family can tell ideologies apart with their eyes closed. We all thought we could, but no one could

@tszzl Was it Oct 7th?

this weekend sealed the deal for me that Elon’s X takeover was actually a civilization critical purchase rather than some silly distraction or a way to center himself free speech in all its glory and all its horror

@animalologist you must have missed the last 30 times this cycle with him has happened.

the function of your professional life is to find the most natural structure that allows you to turn the things you do as naturally as breathing or walking into compounding capital and joy over decades this, necessarily, requires rotating quickly out of things that aren't it

the reason why emotional intelligence is extremely rare is simply cuz it is expensive. actually modeling another person’s internal state in real time is computationally brutal.. it requires suppressing your own frame, running a parallel simulation, & updating continuously. the “inference costs” of eq in humans are likely much higher than the most expensive ai model in existence today.

@conductr_ Where did you get that picture

I’m in love with this sentence: "Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare."

I remember having my dad put down his book on philosophy to listen to 13 year old me read cradle of filth lyrics to him because of the depth I wanted to share, and my father just positively nodding along and getting into it with me and discussing its deeper meanings that beautiful man, I bring that patient energy with me into fatherhood now, loved him Never talk down to kids, get into it with them

“I’ll figure it out” has gotten me further than any plan I’ve ever made
