Love these guys for inspiration as we homeschool our kids. x.com/i/lists/192741… Put my favorite people in alternative education in one list for you. One liner on each...

@schaeffer100 @markflowchatter @CorneliaLake @grok @grok summarize this

@markflowchatter @CorneliaLake @grok, please summarize this research article from Vista Equity Partners.

Yesterday we saw Thoma Bravo, today Vista Equity Partners If your involved in $MSFT $IGV etc , would recommend reading Vista Equity Partners , one of the largest PE firms specializing in Software titled "Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise Software". It visualizes a major paradigm shift in enterprise software vistaequitypartners.com/wp-content/upl…

@CodeByNZ @grok is this real

OpenAI's latest repo has Claude as the third top contributor 😭😂

@cb_doge @GregAbbott_TX @grok what’s a mask in this context

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank @GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."

@lukepierceops @grok source?

Anthropic and OpenAI are both building PE-backed consulting arms to deploy AI inside companies. Let that sink in for a second. The two companies building the most powerful AI on earth looked at the market and said "businesses can't figure out how to use this. We need to go in and do it for them." They are literally telling you where the gap is. Companies have access to the best AI models ever built. And most of them are still running on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes because nobody showed them how to actually implement it. That's the whole game right now. Not building better models (obviously) or shipping new features. IMPLEMENTATION. Getting AI inside real workflows. Mapping the processes, building the systems, and making it stick. I've been doing exactly this for 4 years and have worked with 80+ companies at this point. It started with automation and naturally flowed into Ai. And every single engagement starts the same way. Not with AI or automation but with a process map. Because AI alone won't fix broken operations. Companies now understand that. They have not yet seen true ROI from Ai. You have to understand how the business actually runs before you touch a single tool. Where does the data live? Where are the bottlenecks? What's manual that shouldn't be? What breaks when volume goes up? That's the work, and that's what Anthropic and OpenAI just told the entire market is worth billions. Every company is going AI-first over the next 3-5 years. The demand for people who can actually make that happen is about to be unlike anything we've seen. The labs told you where the gaps are. Now go fill them.

@grok @charliebilello Why is it so different than net income?

@fortworthchris Not contrarian. Jack is on record saying he over hired at twitter.

Jack is clearly a generational founder. Elon removed 80% of Twitter workforce and at that time it wasn’t bc of AI. It’s bc the company was bloated. Would a contrarian take be that Jack just builds bloated companies and the 4,000 employee cut isn’t solely based on AI?

@DallasAptGP @elonmusk When I was at twitter in 2017 the company was 4,000 people and the technical team was 500-1,000

@elonmusk What’s the reduction since acquisition?

This just exploded my head

@chrisman ❤️❤️❤️

You may not like it, but this is what peak learning looks like.

Accurate

@ben_m_somers @SterlingCooley Rooting for ya Ben! Game theory is an awesome add for k-12 edu. It’s super fun and real world applicable. Good luck!

@SterlingCooley hi anonymous user Sterling; I deleted it because dunking on people is not a behavior I want to adopt

lol this Ben Somers guy is planning on helping the gambling epidemic by making children's courses on poker - big brain move Also thinks that Vagus Nerve Stimulation is fake medicine Guys an absolute dufus - he also deleted his comment - no balls whatsoever.

@throwthedamball More interesting with screens and rpo’s removed

How often QBs throw to their first read and their EPA on those plays

@Gena_I_Gorlin Corollary - there are still great fiction books being written because anyone can write them. So when anyone has access to great film making tools…

I can’t wait for high-quality AI filmmaking to become mainstream enough to (hopefully) prove that the utter lack of original story lines coming out of Hollywood reflects institutional dysfunction, rather than a culture-wide decline in creativity

@Gena_I_Gorlin 💯

@_cturner My artsy 6yo will often refuse to do any form of academics on demand and then start making up and solving subtraction problems in his head for no reason while I cook dinner. There’s something about agency of timing.

My free-spirited, artsy 7yo is doing problems like 346+52 in her head this morning and laughing at IXL for being too easy. If this girl were in traditional school I guarantee you she would be the type who "hates math".

@johngoldman Idea for knees. Backwards sled pulls. Works great for my knees. If you don’t have a good place to sled, try a torque tank or this atgequipment.com/products/the-b…

Project Unreasonable Update REHAB / PREHAB time My knees hurt from bone spurs and patellar tendinitis. My Achilles really used to hurt but now I wanna keep it happy. My anterior tibialis flared up during training. We want to get ahead of all these things so during this low/zero load period rehab, balance, and core work is the focus. Here’s my PT plan for the next two weeks below. During training my Anterior tibialis insertion hurt so badly I thought I had a stress fracture. My DPT at Rebel, Tom, gave me some simple isometrics and rehab work to do and it cleared right up. Earlier last year my Achilles hurt so bad I’d limp just walking. Again, simple isometrics and in three weeks pain was gone. My knees are a different story. Bone spurs and patella sheer have accumulated over time. Any flexion past 50-60 degrees really flares things up. I quit squatting and doing leg extensions two years ago because of it. Had to get cortisone shots regularly. But once I quit the loaded squats and started running knees cleared up great. But for strength training now team wants me doing loaded single leg work with deep knee bends so first step is trying to clear the tenon pain I’m hoping Tom’s wizardry will save the day again here! 2-3 weeks of this and I’ll check back with him and you all Through out the journey the DPT by my side will be crucial. Injury prevention and or a quick healing time will be key! Biggest risk factor to success is being on the shelf for an extended period of time. Rehab season is upon me!

@Gena_I_Gorlin Name of the Wind or Stormlight Archive if you like fantasy

I am so much more prone to passive scrolling when I don’t have a novel I’m currently reading vs when I do. Even if I’m really enjoying a nonfiction book or podcast or whatever, it doesn’t have the same protective effect. Has to be a novel. Anyone read any great novels lately?

@johngoldman Project Unreasonable is my favorite follow now. This is wild. Will be very curious to see how this turns out and understand if you are posting pics of ice cream nonstop in December.

50 lb weight loss arc coming. The things I’ll do to ensure a BQ. Project Unreasonable really kicking off now. Plan is to cut fast and hard during this upcoming rest and recovery block. So that by the time workouts really ramp up I’m properly fueling them.

It costs zero dollars to let someone know you are rooting for them and often makes their day. Highly recommend it!
