@KaiserKuo @haugejostein Don’t you think 蔡昉 deserves the honor? Oh maybe you’re thinking of someone else 😉

@haugejostein Don't give 'em any ideas that might result in that ONE economist based in China winning that award...
English
It's pretty wild that the Nobel Prize in Economics has never been awarded to an economist based in China.

@NeysunM The Sixers need more positive energy from their fans!
English
At this point, I think I have more faith in China democratizing someday than I do in the Sixers winning a second round playoff series 🤦♂️

@edzitron I dunno, Ed. Key insights in the piece, such as, "AI systems are instantiated via software and software is made out of code."

@maiamindel Go easy on Sir Niall, he’s upset that the woke kids don’t consider the British Empire to be an unalloyed good.

@david__moser It's possible that Trump views Ukraine as an obstacle to accumulating vast sums of personal wealth in partnership with Putin.
English
I simply cannot fathom why Trump sees Ukraine as the bad guys. It just seems incoherent.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
HEINRICH: Do you think China is helping Iran right now? TRUMP: I think they may be helping, but I don't think much. They could help a lot more. I'm not overly disappointed. We help people too. We helped Ukraine. We shouldn't have done it to that extent.

@vshih2 A crazy woman called my engineering friend’s work asking for help and got routed to him. She said “People are trying to pry into my brain with laser beams.” His answer, applicable here: “That’s incredibly unlikely.”
English
What’s really scary here is that finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities will happen in real time and done entirely by AI on both sides. Humans will only have the choice of taking entire systems offline or not
Rush Doshi@RushDoshi
"China’s best AI models currently lag behind leading US models by about seven months, potentially slightly more. Seven months is therefore the window to harden America’s entire digital infrastructure before Chinese cyber weapons surpass current US defences."

@kareem_carr With replacement, without replacement, it’s all so confusing.

I haven’t seen anybody say this but the true probability is roughly 63% because it’s approximately 1-1/e = 0.6321...
Leila Hormozi@LeilaHormozi
Becoming successful is not luck. It’s math. If your probability of success is 1/100 and you try 100 times, you have a 100% chance of success.

@nikhil_palsingh Thank you! I will read with interest. People can find a copy by searching. It took me about 5 seconds to locate one.

This is one attempt from me, an admittedly idiosyncratic genealogy. Sorry I cannot provide a link. cambridge.org/core/books/abs…
English
Many who pronounce on “racial capitalism” have not read what is now a large, varied and contradictory literature. Also the ideology critique that goes: “x,y,z corresponds to neoliberalism/class interests” has long been as simple-minded as the vulgar identity politics it rejects.

@MatthewSitman I've had a lot of painful things happen to me, but nothing as soul-crushing as that sort of dental pain. People think of root canals as awful, but my goodness what relief. Very happy to hear you got treatment and wish you all the best.
English
Finally, after nearly two weeks of trying to find somebody, anybody to help me with my infected tooth (and resulting complications), a very good endo, Dr. Levy on the UES, was willing to treat me and gave me Phase 1 of a Major Root Canal
English
@MatthewSitman My guess is that he calculated that a Catholic Church would look threatening somehow to evangelicals. Converting to Catholicism got him Theil’s money. Now he has to sashay over to generic Christian.
English
I take a backseat to no one when it comes to criticizing Vance, but the brouhaha over the photo of the church featured on the cover is slightly puzzling to me. Is there a general expectation that a photo of whatever church he regularly (?) attends would be used?
English
@kevinsxu Because you’re better than this, your tweet makes me very sad.
English
The rest of the world is down to two, and only two, choices:
Buy oil from America or buy batteries from China

Wow!
Warren Buffett said Tuesday that he has not spoken to Microsoft
founder Bill Gates “since the whole thing” with the Jeffrey Epstein files “was unveiled.”
“I haven’t talked to him at all since the whole thing was unveiled...I don’t want to be in a position where I know things ... to be called as a witness.”

@vshih2 @ryanl_hass If you ask the average American what the consequences of China displacing the US in the world, they’d have no idea. The experts could really help here. This requires predicting the future so the explanation will be mushy.
English
Hugely important indeed and @ryanl_hass articulates it especially well. I hate to say it but we too need to draw up some core interests and proceed from there
Ryan Hass@ryanl_hass
1/ Sharing my latest op-ed for Taipei Times/Liberty Times. I discuss my perception of a widening gap between US elite and public opinion on China and potential implications of this dynamic for Taiwan. Link in next post.

@gabydvj The worst case maybe is severe but non-fatal injury. I say lean into the dorkiness.
English
@gabydvj Very much so. I’ve been looking for a book on this precise subject.

@moorehn Given that no one in the WH gives one fig what Vance thinks (or even about his self-aggrandizing leaks) his positions can be blown around by the slightest breeze.

@lionel_trolling How many Substack subscriptions is that? C’mon people, we can crowdsource this!
