Today I learned the people who make pure silicon are basically the Samurai sword makers and master blacksmiths of our era and that even if China gets Taiwan they wont be able to make chips anywhere near as good as the US can because we have the purest quartz in the world.

The famous "invisible hand of the market" at work, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow one idiot from Idimu whose crowning accomplishment in life was getting a US visa, will start yapping "iS iT tHE iMF tHaT tOlD yOu nOT tO bUilLd iNfrAsTrUctUre aNd dEvEloP tEcHnoLoGy?"

If you were to guess the most radioactive place on earth, where will it be?

Get you a girl that loves your culture

As an EU Erasmus alumnus who got selected on my first attempt, I am offering to support people interested in this opportunity. I will review 10 applications & offer feedback for improvement. Goodluck to everyone.

Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith. First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul. If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her. Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them. A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward. He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now. Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar. Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity. Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do. Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight. Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break. Allah knows best.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

Sam says the issue was simple: the model didn’t have access to a timer tool. Fair. But the real problem? It still answered anyway. That’s the classic LLM move, no tools, no clue, but full confidence. Instead of saying “I can’t do that,” it just… vibes an answer into existence. This is how we end up with AI that sounds like a genius but occasionally behaves like a very convincing bullsh*t artist😅

@DominiqueCAPaul That’s impressive, just to be clear, there’s no need to send any documents by mail? And does it matter if it’s an UG, GmbH, or mini?

Today I incorporated my startup - and where else than in Germany 🇩🇪 All without leaving my house and getting a German notary appointment in under 24 hours, thanks to the electronic ID. Long Europe 🇪🇺

SubhanAllah!! May Allah allow us to serve our parents for all the sacrifices they've made for us and make us the coolness of their eyes, Aameen.

What I would give to watch a long-form discussion between @DavidHundeyin and Professor Jiang Xueqin for hours, diving deep into Africa amid global events like empire decline, resource wars, BRICS momentum, debt traps, etc., followed by a separate video of David’s monologue and dissection.

I really want to take twitter seriously and start publishing articles, but every time I open the app, I see something crazy that I literally have to talk myself out of commenting or quoting. I close the app for the day, come back the next, same thing all over again, it’s a vicious cycle!!

@_GlobeObserver I don’t think god will give him such a easy way out.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Unconfirmed reports are circulating that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been killed in an Iranian attack.

@GPX_Press Imam getting fixed up 😂😂 that masjid is about to upgrade to tarawee premium (3+ hours)

Late night, Friday night hacking Just finished the networking, and agent implementations for the research pods! Got NICE looking amber dashboards inspired by @ShimazuSystems recent posts... I've always loved that retro amber look. The sensor arrays aren't hooked in yet, so we still have more work to do but they are looking CLEAN. I'm very happy with how these are turning out. The big monitor is where you can see the lead research agent- and the smaller ones are the displays for each research technician. We are VERY close to automation of plant science. Also have a bit more to share about this- some really cool mechanics/robotics that Claude will use to optimize lighting and energy usage. 🍅🏴‍☠️🦾

J Cole is exactly who yall think he is, & he is exactly who he says he is. He leads w/ love in every interaction. last night, we rode around bumpin the entire Disc 39 of The Fall Off. Legendary, truly.🔥 ‘Thank you’ doesn’t capture the level of gratitude I have. God moments.

I went back to Ibiza

What do you mean Halal Vanilla?

They bought our platforms, rigged the algorithms, and silenced dissent. This censorship backlash is a turning point. The people are waking up and boycotting. Free speech doesn’t belong to Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, or Netanyahu. It belongs to us.

WHAT!!! One MILLION!!! 🤯🤯🤯 YOU did this. Our founder @issamhijazi shares why he built UpScrolled - and what's next. "This is yours. We're just building it."
