Whether or not you think he’s an idiot for not forcing his way out of town - Mike Trout will have no debate over what hat he’s wearing during his Hall of Fame speech 🫡
Baseball Is Dead@baseballisdead_
For all those wondering, Mike Trout still wants to stay with the Angels and has no interest in being traded, via @BNightengale.

@DaltonJ_Johnson Let him workout and get in with the vets and coaches, he will be fine

Maybe it's just him being admittedly out of shape, but Yaxel Lendeborg's defensive awareness just isn't there right now

Rocket Lab can indeed go back to a $25b market cap.
But as soon as they land a medium lift vehicle the moat is worth atleast $75b before inclusion of any of their other businesses.
Prove me wrong.

@Billbrowder @BillAckman Shouldn’t the actual answer be that no one jumps to any conclusions - or “alludes” to any for at lest 48 hours. Everyone needs to give it some time before becoming a freaking doctor or geopolitical Sherlock Holmes

I agree with this. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but Lindsay Graham was the leading driver of the devastating sanctions bill against Russia. Yesterday, he announced that president Trump agreed to it. He had just returned from Ukraine where it’s not unknown for Russian agents to operate. Russians are expert at administration of poisons that look like heart attacks. All tests should be done immediately to rule out foul play. I’ve seen enough Russian related suspicious deaths to know this is the only course of action

Regarding Senator Graham’s tragic passing, “cardiac arrest” is not an adequate answer. Cardiac arrest tells us how his life ended. It does not tell us why his heart stopped. Given the threat environment, the identities of America’s adversaries, and Senator Graham’s prominent role confronting them, the American people deserve certainty. That means a complete forensic autopsy, preservation of all relevant biological specimens, comprehensive toxicology and histology, and consultation with federal law enforcement and counterintelligence authorities.

"SpaceX ended up being the best investment I'll probably ever make. It's completely changed the trajectory of my life."
Rockets were blowing up on the launchpad when @LukeNosek convinced Cyan Banister (@cyantist) to go all-in on SpaceX:
Nosek (@LukeNosek), co-founder of PayPal & Founders Fund, was one of SpaceX's earliest believers. He led Founders Fund's $20M investment in 2008 & has served on the board ever since.
Today he's estimated to own a .22% stake worth more than $4B at the $1.77T IPO price.
Here's how he got Cyan in:
"He went to college with my husband Scott Banister & Max Levchin (@mlevchin). They met in a computer lab back at University of Illinois."
"Luke formed a relationship with @elonmusk, & I would say probably was his strongest second believer. I've never seen anyone champion a company or a person with more heart than Luke."
"He came over to our house. He's a very emphatic person. Wears these Vibram shoes, & gets on the floor, & he's like, 'Banisters, I need you to dig through your couches, whatever money you have that's spare. Anything liquid you have, I need it. SpaceX needs it.'"
"At this time, the rockets were blowing up on the launchpad. People all around were just like, private citizens have no business in space, and that's why it's failing."
"I had just exited from IronPort. I had my first liquidity event. So Luke and Scott convinced me to put everything that I made in IronPort, when we sold to Cisco, into SpaceX."
"I just literally put all my chips on a color & just let it ride for 20-some odd years now."
"It ended up being the best investment I'll probably ever make in my life. It's completely changed the trajectory of my life."

@BayAreaTrev Just has to sell his position - of course it’s probably appreciated a lot since he bought it and will cover a decent chunk of this purchase (his piece anyway)

@AravSrinivas Imagine really great SLMs running at the edge or locally with the context and data to return frontier level results - this already exists

Imagine a fable 5 quality model that’s 3-4x less expensive in less than 6 months. And an Opus 4.8 grade model that can run on a local device in less than 12 months. Greater than 50% chance that these events will happen. Worth keeping in mind when you make predictions about the future.

Insider threats are one of the hardest to defend without killing productivity or spreading a vibe of distrust.

The Apple v OpenAI case is a good reminder that everyone sucks at insider threat detection.

Far too generous, it's really closer to something like this. 60-80F, a lower dewpoint, and a max cloud cover rule.

Bryce Eldridge’s defense has looked pretty good this year. Probably helps the fielders that he is a large target to throw to.
English
@GiantHotTakes Easiest decision - Bay Area needs to lock up Bryce and Macklin Celebrini asap

The Giants and Eldridge should be having preliminary discussions about something of this nature.
