Intel is joining Terafab! SpaceX, @xAI, and @Tesla are launching the most epic chip-building effort ever - combining logic, memory, and advanced packaging under one roof → terafab.ai

FASTER AI WITH JUST A SOFTWARE TWEAK? Yes! I may have just solved memory crunch and stalls on GPUs running AI, perhaps by 50% with 20%-30% lower energy costs. The thing is, I wrote about it in 1988 in PC Magazine Lab Notes some folks liked it. I am bringing the receipts:

With AI & agents, people will be able to run companies with 20-40% fewer employees than they have today.  But I wouldn't panic... We'll create 4-5x as many more companies, just like we've done with every other exponential tech.

Thank you, @ericweinstein! 🙏🤩 Well-said, and what a great question at the end! My take: it all starts with us, humans. We create new technology, we "program the machines" so to speak. We set the stage. If we can cultivate this sixth sense of our deeper connection to each other (which is what my video is about!) - then new technological advances will likely bring us even closer together. That's my hope. 😃

SpaceXAI Colossus 2 now has 7 models in training: - Imagine V2 - 2 variants of 1T - 2 variants of 1.5T - 6T - 10T Some catching up to do.

This is much simpler than anyone imagines. It's literally a 1 line self-indictment. Senior Physicist: "42 Years later, String Theory/M-theory is still The Only Game In Town." That's not science. That's what science ISN'T. You either see it or you don't. That's mental illness.

"We will always choose each other." Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

If you’re wondering how I initially landed at 20 minutes at 200°F for a daily dry sauna, this protocol is supported by both large observational longitudinal cohorts and smaller interventional studies. These studies demonstrate significant benefits for longevity and healthspan, including reduced mortality and morbidity from all-cause and chronic diseases. Observational evidence suggests that using a dry sauna 4 to 7 times per week for more than 19 minutes per session at temperatures between 176F and 212F provides the highest level of health benefits. Here are some examples of the benefits (using comparable protocols to mine): > 14-40% reduction in all-cause mortality in middle aged men > 48-70% long-term reduction in fatal heart disease in both women and men > 47% Reduction in the risk of developing a high blood pressure in healthy men > 31% average reduction in hsCRP in healthy middle aged men. > 40% Long term sauna use was correlated with decreased all-cause mortality > 48% reduction in dementia risk. > Slightly improved well being, 83% reported better sleep, and 77% less risk of psychotic disorders. Important points to keep in mind While most dry sauna studies do not identify heat-shock response including HSPs, the ones that do only give directional hints of HSPs secretion, to our awareness intracellular expression of HSPs has not been addressed with dry and why I decided to start quantifying my heat shock protein secretion and expression myself. While HSPs are a major driver of sauna benefits, other mechanisms including increased cardiac output and blood flow (exercise mimetic), vascular remodelling and adaptation, as well as sweating all contribute to the benefits.  A strong hit at this are the smaller yet significant benefits observed even with shorter durations and lower frequencies (10–19 minutes, 2–3 times per week), conditions very unlikely to achieve any measurable heat shock protein response. Therefore, do not be discouraged if you aren't ready for the long sessions required for measurable HSP activation. Real health benefits begin with just 10 minutes at 176°F, twice a week. If you are just starting your sauna protocol, remember that reaching longer sessions (over 33 minutes) at extreme heat of 190°F or above requires time. Listen to your body, and progress gradually and be careful not to exceed your personal heat tolerance limits. Also, stay hydrated and if you’re a man, ice your boys. My benefits from my starting protocol were real and persistent over 232 sessions including > 10+ years reduction of my vascular age and functional improvement (central pressure markers showing increased vascular elasticity and compliance) > Full detoxification of 3 out of 6 environmental toxins, remaining 3 were slashed by 55% to 65%, one toxin was reduced by only 15% and persisted at a slightly elevated level (with 15 sessions only). > Elimination of 85% microplastics from my blood and semen > Fertility markers at all time high (count, motility, and morphology) in 24 iced sessions.

@karpathy good eye, THANK YOU

New supply chain attack this time for npm axios, the most popular HTTP client library with 300M weekly downloads. Scanning my system I found a use imported from googleworkspace/cli from a few days ago when I was experimenting with gmail/gcal cli. The installed version (luckily) resolved to an unaffected 1.13.5, but the project dependency is not pinned, meaning that if I did this earlier today the code would have resolved to latest and I'd be pwned. It's possible to personally defend against these to some extent with local settings e.g. release-age constraints, or containers or etc, but I think ultimately the defaults of package management projects (pip, npm etc) have to change so that a single infection (usually luckily fairly temporary in nature due to security scanning) does not spread through users at random and at scale via unpinned dependencies.

A Caltech colleague once asked Feynman to explain why spin-½ particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics in a way a freshman could understand. Feynman agreed enthusiastically and promised to prepare a freshman-level lecture. A few days later, he returned sheepishly and admitted defeat: “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t reduce it to a freshman level. That means we really don’t understand it.” He used this as a teaching principle, if you can’t explain something simply, you probably don’t understand it yourself. This story circulated quietly among faculty and students as a humbling reminder that even Nobel laureates should test their own knowledge against the ability to communicate clearly. It reflected his broader disdain for “cargo cult” teaching and his commitment to stripping away pretense in the classroom.

Oh wow! Figure quit on the OpenAI collaboration.

@karpathy that is a bug not a feature TERNARY > binary because TERNARY provides for humility I am not a switch

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

@doncmleon @Jeremybtc Coca-Cola's automated label printer accidentally printed their 100yo secret formula on a few cans that went to Walmart & before they could recall them a guy posted the recipe, now anyone with a soda stream..

@Jeremybtc Can someone explain this to me in NBA or NFL terms?

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history. > Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM. > A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it. > That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code. > A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X. > 21 million people have seen the thread. > The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up. > Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it. > That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up. > He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year. > His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine. > So he did what any engineer would do. > He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise. > Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub. > A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it. > The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history. > He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust. > It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks. > Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down." > The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back. Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.

For 6 months I woke up at 5 AM to catch Asian markets on Polymarket. During that time I lost my girlfriend, gained 8 kg, and got used to drinking coffee instead of breakfast Then I wrote an agent that monitors everything for me while I sleep. In the 1st month income went up 15% and I finally deleted the 5 AM alarm Turns out a half-asleep human trades worse than a 200-line script I thought discipline meant waking up early. In reality it was just stubbornness that cost me money and health. When I finally sat down to build the agent it became clear why Here is what is under the hood: 1. Sentiment analysis powered by Claude. Every 15 minutes the agent runs a feed from 40+ Asian sources: Reuters Asia, Nikkei, South China Morning Post, Yonhap 2. NLP tone classification. It compares sentiment shifts to open markets on Polymarket through the API, and if the news has already dropped but the odds have not reacted yet that is the entry window 3. Kelly criterion. A mathematical formula for position sizing instead of my usual "I will bet more, feeling lucky" 4. A hard stop at 5% of the deposit per trade so that 1 mistake cannot kill the entire account 5. A cooldown between entries so the agent does not stack up a cluster of correlated positions These are exactly the rules I was missing at 5 AM. I knew them perfectly well but consistently ignored them because on adrenaline and caffeine every bet felt like an "obvious opportunity" When I ran a backtest on my old trades it was genuinely painful: 60% of the bets I placed by hand in a half-asleep state would have been rejected by the agent for failing the expected value filter Those were the exact ones dragging the whole result down When I was building my agent I needed a benchmark. A wallet that already trades on similar logic so I could compare my results to someone else's Found 1 that works almost like a mirror of what I described: same Asian markets, same cold calculation without emotion. I still keep it bookmarked and periodically check how it handles the same situations: @gamblingisallyouneed?via=roovxKu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@gamblingisall… That is actually the wallet I started with when testing auto-copying through a bot before I launched my own agent. A useful thing if you want to see how a strategy works on someone else's example first and only then build your own: t.me/KreoPolyBot?st…
