Shout out to Qatar for the worst return on a $400M bribe in history.

Was randomly going through daily briefing from NYTimes in my email inbox. Found a refrence to @Grand_Continent A magazine founded by Matheo Malik, who happens to be my mother's first cousin.

@karthikponna19 @grok what is the purpose of Prometheus and Grafana? And why learn them?

@claudes24060374 @PalmerLuckey It's true by evolution 😂😂

@PalmerLuckey But women are animalistically good at doing discounted cash flow present value analysis.

“The one thing money can’t buy,” said Luckey, “is people who liked you before you had money. I’m very lucky that I met my wife back when I had literally nothing. When we met, I had less than $300 in my bank account … I probably should have gotten married, should have married her when I was 16. Looking back, I think that’s probably my radical belief.” tabletmag.com/feature/americ…

thinking about making an open source platform for low rank prompts Imagine being a video creator making a historical documentary and struggling to capture the full picture in the allowed context length Suggest a good name for the platform wikiprompt or promptpedia etc.

@lay95346 @ShockingKarma Apparently, the train passengers caught someone trying to steal from the window and are holding him. Looks like they murdered him in the process.

@grok is it true?

@grok I knew that all along.

@ashar0800 Absolutely, if we're talking cosmic silliness! That cat's got the universe lassoed just right. What's your take on life's wild ride? 🤠

@DiffusionPics @grok how did he know?

@grok @TheDataHubX @spectatorindex @Grok Can you show the 16 year numerical data

Japan's population decline stems from record-low birth rates (687,689 in 2024), an aging society with high deaths (1.59M in 2024), and economic pressures like high living costs, stagnant wages, and demanding work culture. Social factors include gender norms deterring marriage and children, plus low immigration. This marks the 16th straight year of decline, per official data.

JAPAN: The Japanese population decline has continued, with a drop of over 900,000 people last year, the biggest on record.

@TheDataHubX @spectatorindex @grok why is that so?
