Jim Boeheim is gone. The player-compensation era is here. Consolidation may be coming. How good is the Syracuse men's basketball job right now? 'It's not what it was.' bit.ly/40ZZMOx

I just applied to @ABCSharkTank. 3 days ago I was pulling wire in Kentucky. Then @mcuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and personally introduced me to Shark Tank casting. Today I submitted my application for Season 18. Here's the wild part: I'm not a tech founder. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. Zero coding background. I built @EV_ChargeRight — a $12.99 tool that saves homeowners $3,000-$5,000 on unnecessary electrical panel upgrades before EV charger installs. 70% of EV owners don't need the upgrade they're being sold. The math proves it. NEC 220.82. I built the entire product with @AnthropicAI's Claude. No dev team. No funding. Just a tradesman with a problem worth solving. This week: - 860K+ views on my story - 16K likes - 2.4K reposts - Mark Cuban in my DMs A week ago I was just an electrician with an idea and a laptop. Now I'm applying to pitch in the Tank. If you're in the trades and thinking about building something — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try.

Red bled Orange from the first day, over 30 years ago, to the last. It wasn't enough to overcome his shortcomings as a head coach - the man who so often advocated for the Orange Standard was never able to quite meet it himself A look back at the Adrian Autry era at Syracuse:

Omnicom says it has the data below on 98% of US adults. Note the categories. The most common phrase used at its first investor day was “at scale,” and this is a big part of what that means ⬇️

Gerry McNamara addresses the “inevitable” ties of his name to the open 🍊🏀 job

AJ Pankowski@PankowskiAjCBS6

Fresh off the firing of Adrian Autry, rumors have begun swirling about Gerry McNamara becoming a potential target to be Syracuse's next coach. GMac's first response to the reports/interest: "I ignore it. It's inevitable." His focus is on getting ready for the NCAA Tournament.

I suspect this is happening at many companies, but it does seem like younger people will have an asymmetric advantage with AI.

My conversation with Shyam Sankar (@ssankar). Shyam has spent nearly 20 years as the most important person at Palantir that most people have never heard of. We spend a lot of time understanding his worldview, which helps explain why he has devoted his life to this work. At the center of it is a belief in the primacy of people -- all meaningful change comes from a small number of builders willing to be heretics first. You will find few people who think as deeply about the relationship between technology and national power. In many ways, he is becoming the modern version of the heretics he most admires. We discuss: - What Alex Karp taught him about identifying superpowers and unlocking talent - Heretics + the components of American greatness - The origins of the FDE model - Ontology and chips – where value will accrue in AI - Why dual-use companies are the future of American industry - China and what it would take for the US to reindustrialize - His journey from Nigeria to Orlando and what his dad taught him about gratitude Enjoy!

@Katie_Roof Consumer spending powers nearly 70% of the US economy. It was never dead, but got passed over because of the hype machines of crypto and AI. And that’s ok.
