@gardengirl125 Doesn't matter where you stand; the analogy doesn't work: Just on the numbers, I'd suspect about 50% of aborted babies are male, whereas 99% of combat casualties are male.

The curse of intelligence is restlessness, the curse of lacking intelligence is envy. The curse of courage is isolation, the curse of lacking courage is regret.

A Y Combinator company. Bay Area tech is like 1% tech, and 99% fraud. And the 1% is negotiable. You only need to prop it up long enough to exit with gains. So this one failed. The fraud took it down before anyone could cash out on a $20b valuation.

BREAKING: Delve, a compliance startup founded by two Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni that raised $32 million, has been accused of fabricating audit reports for hundreds of clients. A Substack investigation found the company generates auditor conclusions before any evidence is reviewed, and relies on Indian certification mills instead of the “US-based CPA firms” it advertises.

When Eisenhower was asked why the United States did not allow the 1956 Vietnamese reunification elections agreed upon at Geneva, he answered with unusual honesty. He said that if elections were held, Hồ Chí Minh would win with approximately 80 percent of the vote. So they cancelled the elections. Think about that every time an American politician talks about "spreading democracy." They cancelled the democratic election because the "wrong" person would win. They then spent the next two decades killing people to prevent the government that would have been democratically elected from taking power. And they called the other side anti-democratic. This is not ancient history. This is the logic that still governs every "democracy promotion" operation today. Democracy is acceptable when it produces the "right" results. When it does not, you cancel the election, back a coup, fund the opposition, impose sanctions, and call the government that the people actually chose a "dictatorship." Vietnam exposed this logic completely. Not with arguments. With history. With the receipts.

Aditya Dhar@AdityaDharFilms·
Dearest Sir, this means more than I can put into words. Coming from you, it feels like both a blessing and a responsibility. As filmmakers, we grow up learning from the worlds you build and the emotions you make us feel, so to see Dhurandhar resonate with you at this level is deeply personal. We only tried to tell a story with honesty and conviction, and push ourselves a little further in scale and more importantly in soul. Your words reaffirm that Indian cinema can dream big, feel deeply, and speak to the world without losing its roots. Grateful, humbled, and inspired to keep raising the bar. Lots of Love! 🙏❤️

This was the first SSC essay I read and, in retrospect, is by far the worst essay. Because I read it, got excited/interested about the topic, then bought one of Baumol's more recent books where he says at the very beginning "there's no mystery, this is just the math of averaging together exponentials and is thus unavoidable." So Scott's whole mystery hunt about What Could Be Causing Cost Disease comes across as a big flub, because bro, you didn't even read the primary source about this core issue? So the whole feeling of "I am smartly investigating this issue in depth" falls apart like a house of cards made from toilet paper. I do agree that there's a tremendous amount of waste in almost everything nowadays, and the waste keeps increasing, and we would do well to fix that, but this is actually a separate issue from what Baumol calls Cost Disease (and probably smaller in magnitude). I had a Twitter exchange with Scott relatively recently (within the past few months?) in which it seemed like he still didn't understand this basic issue of averaging exponentials, so many years later. At which point I have to ask, of what use is this intellectual bearing if it does not at least lead one to see obvious, major facts that have been sitting in plain sight the whole time?

@Dan_Jeffries1 I have been using the premium version(no agents yet) everyday for a variety of tasks for almost a year. At the same time I'm unable to see the kind of seismic shifts being advertised and I'm shocked at these valuations in spite of ample evidence of circular funding.

This is an incredibly powerful new report from Anthropic on what people want with AI. Most people outside the fear-mongering US are hopeful and see AI as something that can really help them do work, climb out of poverty, and deal with the thousand slings and arrows of life. We really need to choose hope and let go of fear and anxiety in the west. "I live hand to mouth, zero savings. If I use AI smarter it may help me craft solutions to that cycle. It still depends on me." - Entrepeneur, Nigeria “I live in a war zone... at night during shelling it's impossible to sleep, constant nightmares. The stress is sometimes so strong that memory deteriorates, and some body movements happen without control…The best way I found to cope using AI—to immerse myself in learning something as deeply as I can.” - Solo entrepreneur, Ukraine "“I receive 100-150 text messages per day from doctors and nurses. So much of my cognitive labor was spent on documentation...Since implementing AI, the pressure of documentation has been lifted. I have more patience with nurses, more time to explain things to family members.” - Healthcare worker, United States of America anthropic.com/features/81k-i…

@JohnSimpsonNews Didn't Iran send similar warnings to Saudi's et al who are not directly involved in the war?

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
The Associated Press@AP

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

They'll be surprised when they learn what an autopilot could do in the 1940s. Autonomous take-off, landing and navigation has been around since then. It's been improved since then, but still no fancy tech is needed. IMUs, GPS, radio navigation and control engineering is all you need. But of course a con man is raising money to reinvent it.

OpenAI is single handedly taking out all of Google's competition and sucking out VC money from other prospective Google competitors. Waiting to hear the news that Sam Altman is some kind corporate sleeper agent working on behalf of Google all along😂
