There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

The same can be said about many other aspects of life.

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination" An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?" Kobe responds: "I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you." The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?" Kobe responds: "What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination." He explains with an analogy: "Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist." The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?" Kobe: "No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again." He concludes: "I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

An obvious place to start would be to rebalance my positions closer to the conviction and R:R metrics on Vive. The irony is that even if we copy every one of Derek’s trades, our return % would still only be a fraction of his if we get the size wrong. We can’t all be him. But we can learn.

During the peak of Covid when the entire planets came to a complete standstill the total demand destruction globally translated into around 22m barrels per day of oil supply for a brief period. We are now in the roughly the third week of around 11m barrels per day shortfall with no end in sight. Think about that very carefully…

@DelB0yTr0tter It’s incredibly sad. As a young father and husband and a student of history it worries me. Late stage empire vibes here. Cannot believe this man is the president of the most powerful empire to exist in human history.

@mcuban @DowdEdward I’ve seen countless health care startup trends over the years. From price transparency to Direct Primary Care; from InsurTech to EHR. They all promised disruption out of the gate, but not one could deliver. @costplusdrugs is the exception that proves the rule.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

Lazy Canadian Investor
Canadian real estate is getting DEMOLISHED 🇨🇦 If you bought a principal residence in the last 10 years, you lost money. Even if you bought all-cash you’re negative with inflation, property tax, insurance, and maintenance. And if you had interest payments, you’re even more negative. Dead money for the last decade, dead money for the next 2 decades. Your home is not an investment. Never was, still isn’t, never will be. We live IN a home. We live OFF our investments. That is why 66% of homeowners own their own home but only 1% are rich. I hate to say I told you so but I told you so.

Just made a spontaneous decision after seeing this… I will personally respond to any queries from new Vivé users - if I follow and interact with them here on this page already. Just @ me here so that I can arrange for the team to keep an eye out for your emails. If you’re willing to invest the time and energy to level up then I will do everything I can to help you achieve your goals with analysing the data and constructing portfolios, on a one on one basis and to the best of my ability. I will open this up to 50 people (I don’t think I can physically do more than that right now) for one month and we’ll see how it goes. All queries via email after onboarding on Vivé. I will endeavour to respond within 24 hours. I certainly don’t have all the answers but I will do my level best to help those people that want to learn and improve their lives and that of their families. I want to help as many people change their lives as possible. That was the motivation behind building Vivé… to pay it forward and package what I know works day in day out and share it with as many people as possible.

@DelB0yTr0tter Thank you for sharing your playbook. (Obviously, I didn’t see the memo)

@karpathy @grok what virtual environment best practices can limit the attack surface from similar pip install malware?

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

Denise Richards. 55 years old. 4.5 hours under the knife. ​Most of Hollywood lies. They sell you "skincare routines" and "hydration" while secretly getting their faces pulled back in the dark. ​Richards just did the opposite. She showed the bruised, stitched, swollen reality of buying back 20 years of youth. ​Her reason: She said she feels 12 inside, but the mirror stopped matching. ​Society demands women age gracefully, but completely ignores them when they do. ​So, is it better to fade out naturally, or pay the toll to recognize yourself in the mirror again?

John Taylor Gatto was named New York State Teacher of the Year. Upon receiving the award, he quit and spent the rest of his life writing devastating critiques of the educational system he had mastered. Gatto argued that regardless of the official curriculum, schools actually teach seven hidden lessons. The first is confusion. Students learn disconnected facts across dozens of subjects with no integration or meaning. The second is class position. Students learn their place in the social hierarchy. The third is indifference. Students learn that nothing is worth finishing because the bell always rings. The fourth is emotional dependency. Students learn to surrender their will to a chain of command. The fifth is intellectual dependency. Students learn to wait for experts to tell them what to think. The sixth is provisional self-esteem. Students learn that their worth depends on expert evaluation. The seventh is that they are always being watched and have no privacy. These lessons, Gatto argued, are the actual function of schooling. The explicit curriculum of reading, writing, and arithmetic is almost incidental. The real purpose is to produce passive, dependent, compliant citizens who wait for authorities to tell them what to do and think. Trad schooling amounts to thirteen years of training in being passive and dependent. I have seen this play out with hundreds of students. When I created Montessori middle schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, about half the students came up through Montessori elementary and about half came from public schools. When we opened, the Montessori kids immediately began doing their work, taking initiative, choosing what to tackle first. The public school students were lost. They would stare at their desks until we walked over and helped them plan their morning. It took at least a semester, sometimes a full year, before they could function in an environment that asked them to direct their own learning. These were not less intelligent children. They had simply been trained differently. For years, someone else had made all the decisions about what they would do, when they would do it, and how they would do it. When that structure was removed, they did not know how to operate. Agency is natural to children unless we train it out of them. When I coach parents on evaluating their children's education, I tell them to ignore grades entirely. The question is whether their children are taking initiative, being responsible, and becoming empowered moral beings. If a child is getting straight A's but has no initiative and no sense of personal responsibility, that child is being damaged by their education regardless of how it looks on paper.
