@natashatenggoro Hi Natasha, would you have another email I can reach you at? The one on your website bounced. Thank you!

@bgurley @mcuban @RakeshSFNYC 👌

@mcuban @RakeshSFNYC I would argue get all employers out of the healthcare system. Run the other way. The United States is the only G20 country where the majority of healthcare coverage is provided through private employer-sponsored insurance. And employers are reluctant unnecessary third parties.

When a large employer pays so little that their full time employees qualify for Medicaid , (or any public assistance ) we the taxpayers are effectively subsidizing that big company. That’s wrong

@BrandonDavisR2R The crazy deficit situation; the reckless borrowing is in large part to pay for ballooning entitlements. Here’s a good overview: archive.is/3nHDH

@pierrelegrain Explain

America’s debt crisis is like a long-term drug addiction. Instead of confronting the root problem…reckless spending and unsustainable borrowing…it historically keeps chasing the next high by printing more money and raising the debt ceiling. Every time withdrawal symptoms (economic downturns, inflation, market instability) start kicking in, policymakers administer another hit of stimulus and deficit spending to numb the pain. The temporary relief feels good, but the tolerance builds, the dependency grows, and the crash becomes inevitable. Eventually, without real intervention, the overdose….financial collapse….becomes a matter of when, not if. There is an actual date and time at some point in the future that the country collapses. It won’t matter what party is in charge. What matters is the failures of decades and decades of bad decisions from elected (and unelected) officials. Conflict delayed is conflict multiplied. Even If you dont like Trump, maybe it will set a precedent for future administrations to actually care about the country’s financial health. The short term pain is going to be immense, but try ripping drugs away from an addict cold turkey, and see what happens.

@AdamInHTownTX @SenAdamSchiff Article III Section 2 and Article IV Clause 2 are good places to start. Then look at Marbury v. Madison (1803) – established that courts have the power to declare laws unconstitutional, implicitly extending this to executive actions.

@SenAdamSchiff Where in the Constitution does it grant the judiciary the right to control the executive branch, Shifty?

JD, we both went to law school. But we don’t have to be lawyers to know that ignoring court decisions we don’t like puts us on a dangerous path to lawlessness. We just have to swear an oath the constitution. And mean it.

@johnrushx I tried some of your products a month ago. Nothing worked, all broken, loading states stalled etc.

@abuchanlife @akshay_pachaar *scraping

@abuchanlife @akshay_pachaar I’ve tried it. It’s cool. It just doesn’t solve the nasty part of crawling, which is overcoming the various obstructions websites put up to prevent crawling…

Web scraping will never be the same! Crawl4AI simplifies web crawling and data extraction, making it ready to use for LLMs and AI applications. Here’s why it’s a game-changer: 🆓 Completely free and open-source 🚀 Blazing fast performance, outperforming many paid services 🤖 LLM-friendly output formats (JSON, cleaned HTML, markdown) 🌍 Supports crawling multiple URLs simultaneously 🎨 Extracts all media tags (Images, Audio, Video) 🔗 Extracts all external and internal links But that’s not all: 📚 Extracts metadata from pages 🔄 Custom hooks for auth, headers, and page modifications 🕵️ User-agent customization 🖼️ Takes screenshots of pages 📜 Executes custom JavaScript before crawling Link to the GitHub repo in next tweet! _____ Find me → @akshay_pachaar ✔️ For more insights & tutorials on AI and Machine Learning.

@albertwenger @jacopogio I could just about agree with “they contain a compressed map of a particular language” but not knowledge.

@jacopogio @pierrelegrain Yes they do. They contain a compressed version of the world's knowledge. And of course they make mistakes at times because they will hallucinate things that don't exist but that's not really a big challenge for a site that will have humans in the loop.

Instead of making this exactly like Wikipedia, one idea is to extract ontologies from the big models and publish them back in human editable form

@albertwenger @jacopogio I would say they capture something closer to 'meaning' (relationships) than 'knowledge' (facts). Grossly simplifying, obviously

@albertwenger @jacopogio numbers representing the 'nearness' of pieces of text (of varying length), given vast numbers of examples.

@soyhenryxyz @jtaby I'd say work bite-size. It's fine to ask big sweeping questions but when it comes to implementing, zeroing in, and working step by step helps stay familiar with everything you end up committing.

@jtaby Def agree Any tips on how to make this better?

One problem I feel coming is that as I plow through the product, Cursor/Claude are changing the code faster than I can mentally integrate it into my understanding. I double-check the code generated at each step, but the time between the steps is short, and I'm not writing the glue code between the components which is typically where you integrate the new APIs in your head/mental model. I catch myself sometimes feeling like I'm jumping into a codebase that a coworker wrote

@jacopogio @albertwenger i don't get it either. the models don't contain knowledge...

@albertwenger I try to understand your concept but I don't grasp it ...

@round Love this take

@t_blom @LinkedIn Ended up going the gmail filter route

Unsubscribing from @LinkedIn email updates might be the most hostile UX I've ever experienced You have to click into each section to unsubscribe. Several sections have sub-sections that you have to individually click into to unsubscribe. Over 100 clicks to full unsubscribe.

@fchollet Block words are your friend. I have about 20 and it strips out all the politics so you can focus on your interests

I miss when this app could be used to share links to your work, find interesting people with shared interests, that sort of thing. I enjoy being on the receiving end of a nonstop unhinged political propaganda machine as much as the next guy, but this is a bit too much.
