Sameer reTweet King Mohan

@RollingStone Why are all the mainstream media calling this a conspiracy themed movie? It's literally a true story?

Something is wrong with the algorithm. I have barely seen any pet pictures today. I blame Dom. Hopefully, this adorable puppy face will help fix it.

Boring away

Jupiter up close... NASA

It was the best of times

Nancy Pelosi hasn’t just outperformed Warren Buffett in the stock market… She has absolutely DESTROYED him. Her net worth before Congress: $785,000 Her net worth after Congress: $133,000,000 Literally how is this legal? Where are the investigations?

If we don’t pass the SAVE America Act, this November is going to be one of the biggest losses in American history. If Senate Majority Leader Thune does not give us the SAVE America Act, I promise to lead the charge to defeat his allies in the Senate one by one — peacefully.

Yes

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

In 1948, a 32-year-old at Bell Labs published a paper nobody fully understood. Engineers found it too mathematical. Mathematicians found it too engineering-focused. One prominent mathematician reviewed it negatively. That paper - "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", became the founding document of the digital age. The man was Claude Shannon. Father of Information Theory. At 21, he wrote the most important master's thesis of the 20th century. Working at MIT on an early mechanical computer, Shannon noticed its relay switches had exactly two states - open or closed. He had just taken a philosophy course introducing Boolean algebra, which also operated on two values: true and false. Nobody had ever connected these two things. His 1937 thesis proved that Boolean algebra and electrical circuits are mathematically identical, and that any logical operation could be built from simple switches. Howard Gardner called it "possibly the most important, and also the most famous, master's thesis of the century." Every digital computer ever built traces back to this insight. At 29, he proved that perfect encryption exists. During WWII, Shannon worked on classified cryptography at Bell Labs. His work contributed to SIGSALY, the secure voice system used for confidential communications between Roosevelt and Churchill. In a classified 1945 memorandum, he mathematically proved the one-time pad provides perfect secrecy, unbreakable not just computationally, but provably, permanently, against an adversary with infinite power. When declassified in 1949, it transformed cryptography from an art into a science. It laid the foundations for DES, AES, and every modern encryption standard. At 32, he defined what information is. His 1948 paper introduced one equation: H = −Σ p(x) log p(x) Shannon entropy. The average uncertainty in a probability distribution. The minimum bits required to encode a message. Three things followed: > He defined the bit - the fundamental unit of all information. His colleague John Tukey coined the name. > He proved the channel capacity theorem, every communication channel has a maximum rate of reliable transmission. You can approach it. You can never exceed it. > He unified telegraph, telephone, and radio into a single mathematical framework for the first time. Robert Lucky of Bell Labs called it the greatest work "in the annals of technological thought." Where his equation lives in AI today: Cross-entropy loss - the function training every classifier and language model, is derived directly from H. Decision tree splits use information gain, which is H applied to data. Perplexity, the standard LLM evaluation metric, is an exponentiation of cross-entropy. Every time a neural network trains, Shannon's formula runs inside it. He also built the first AI learning device. In 1950, Shannon built Theseus, a mechanical mouse that navigated a maze through trial and error, learned the correct path, and repeated it perfectly. Mazin Gilbert of Bell Labs said: "Theseus inspired the whole field of AI." That same year he published the first paper on programming a computer to play chess. He co-organized the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop, the founding event of AI as a field. The man: He rode a unicycle through Bell Labs hallways while juggling. He built a flame-throwing trumpet, a rocket-powered Frisbee, and Styrofoam shoes to walk on the lake behind his house. He called his home Entropy House. When asked what motivated him: "I was motivated by curiosity. Never by the desire for financial gain. I just wondered how things were put together." In 1985, he appeared unexpectedly at a conference in Brighton. The crowd mobbed him for autographs. Persuaded to speak at the banquet, he talked briefly, then pulled three balls from his pockets and juggled instead. One engineer said: "It was as if Newton had showed up at a physics conference." He died in 2001 after a decade with Alzheimer's, the cruel irony of information slowly leaving the mind of the man who defined what information was. Claude, the AI model, is named after Claude Shannon, the mathematician who laid the foundation for the digital world we rely on today.

What about second Easter?

My friend got laid off from his software engineering job in 2022. 42 years old. $195k salary gone overnight. Meta, Google, and Amazon had just cut 200,000 jobs and the market was flooded with engineers. He spent 14 months in an electrical apprenticeship. Last year he made $160k as a journeyman electrician specializing in data center builds. 2026 at 46 years old he make $270k with over time. The same data centers his former employer runs. He told me he will never work for anyone who can lay him off with a Zoom call again. Neither would I. Day 97 tagging @mikeroweworks because I want to bring awareness to the trades.

Jose Canseco: Had a 40/40 season on steroids. Darryl Strawberry: Had a 39/36 season while coked to the gills and fucking people between at-bats. Advantage: Strawberry

Backstory: George Harrison wrote it. Beatles dissed it (as usual). So his pal Clapton came & rocked: White Album ‘68. Rolling Stone Mag snubbed Prince, omitting him on “100 Greatest Guitarists” list. So he snubbed THEM with this performance.

Don't ask Pedro Pascal why his dad had to flee from Chile in such a rush

And you…didn’t think that was worth mentioning as a journalist? For 13 years?
