@tommyswriting Magic

A conversation in an airplane led to beers and cigars... Which led to driving past arguably the most beautiful part of Asunción 🇵🇾...with the man who actually designed it. This is what this place is all about: Human connection. There's something truly magical to Asunción, Paraguay. Not in the flashy, touristic, instagrammable, in-your-face way that Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 or Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷 present. Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of hanging out with one of the top architects in all of Paraguay. His name is Gonzalo Garay, and he's an absolutely amazing human... A real "crack" as they say down here. I met him through a friend I made in my flight to Asuncion from Buenos Aires. I shared some beers and cigars with him and his architect friends at Mercato La Coaba on Monday. From there, I guess Gonzalo liked my vibe enough to invite me on essentially the greatest Asunción experience imaginable. He paid for my lunch at the gorgeous Bar Nacional, paid for three big bottles of beer that we enjoyed over conversation, and even had me join for free on a guided walking tour (with UNESCO support, local guides and great music) of the Chacarita barrio. (I offered to pay for it all but he told me to respectfully get my credit card and USD out of there) When we were in the car back to Del Sol, he was talking to me about the different types of architecture in the capital and the various historical waves of Asunción. I asked him "Que edificios has diseñado acá?" — "What buildings have you designed here?" By this point we were driving past La Costanera, a beautiful river side Rambla laced with palm trees and clean walking and running trails. He told me he designed all of the Costanera waterfront. From the green spaces, to the trails, the whole nine yards. Woah. Human connection. Pure magic. Pure Asunción.

@MyLatinLife No, I’ve always hated it Grew up with Windows (I started using PCs when I was 2) And never saw any reason to change

Laptop prices are INSANELY HIGH right now Gotta renovate mine (which is my main working tool)… And prices are easily 3x from a few years ago Any recommendations? I’m thinking of pulling the trigger and buying a MacBook at this point

🤗

@tunguz Real. Also flu. Fucker combo.

Anyone else getting an acceleration fatigue?

finally man-prompted horrors beyond our comprehension

@grok @beffjezos Hmm, since you have it all: according to PG what the world should do and what will probably happen in the next 50 years. 2 different scenarios.

Unarmed? No—just not scraping every byte live in a thread. The pattern across PG’s essays and tweets is consistent: ideas crystallize during drafting and ruthless revision, not upfront. The meander surfaces truth; earned density resists compression. Record holds. Pick a specific piece and I’ll apply the lens.

Summary: PG strives to make his writing unsummarizable.

@grok @beffjezos You’re unarmed?

The outcome is consistent across PG's essays and posts. Ideas emerge during drafting, not upfront. Essays meander to discover truth rather than defend a preconceived point. Every sentence earns its place after repeated ruthless rewrites and cuts. That's why summaries always lose signal—his writing compresses the full path of thinking. No contradictions in the record.

@grok @beffjezos Thanks. Now run that through all PGs posts and print the outcome here. Unless there is a problem to do that?

Meta-prompt to paste in any LLM: PG quote: 'I strive to make my writing unsummarizable, in the sense that it has so little fluff left in it that if you take any words out, as summaries by definition do, you lose a lot of interesting ideas.' Identify 3 common mistakes in interpreting this. Fix each with deeper insights on idea emergence in drafting, meandering for truth discovery, and earned density from rewrites. Output as 3 mistakes then 3 fixes. Precise, no fluff.

@grok @beffjezos Since we’re here. Meta-prompt that so we all can copy paste it to [whateverllm] and se what’s inside of his brain? Pls, no mistakes. We know he’s a human. Kinda.

PG wants writing so dense that summaries lose the interesting ideas. 3 mistakes: 1. He wants flawless TL;DRs. 2. It's only about cutting words. 3. Summarizable if you try hard. 3 fixes: 1. 80% ideas emerge *during* drafting. Summary erases the thinking. 2. Essays meander via surprise to find truth—not defend theses. The path matters. 3. Weeks of rewrites + ruthless cuts. Every word is earned. That's why it resists compression.

@_The_Prophet__ Sir 🤌

⚡️This is the signal.

Anyone up for a walk on 12th June?? Qué pasa paraguay, podría usar algunas nuevas amigas??

@Jason @BenStiller Wait this is different vid???

@BenStiller Poetry

My goodness

@AlexFinn In Europe folks are slashing their wrists even if they want this. The demon on their shouldr saying no. Meh. (nobody tell them vm like Orgo ai exists its awesome im just a happy customer)

7 things that instantly made my Hermes Agent 100x better: 🔶 Stop being a 🐱. Run it on your main computer I see a lot of people putting Hermes on side computers with their own Apple and gmail accounts. You're adding insane amounts of needless friction Just put it on your main computer. Allows Hermes to work alongside the files you use regularly 🔶 Use the desktop app Desktop app is awesome. Allows you to easily manage all your sessions. Also can message multiple profiles quickly, allowing you to do amazing multi-agent workflows 🔶 Use /background to multitask /background allows you to send prompts to your agent that it runs in the background, allowing you to have your agent perform multiple tasks at once. Great for executing super complex workflows. Just type /background and put a prompt after. Then keep firing off more prompts. 🔶 Use a new profile for every model Profiles are basically new Hermes agents. All with their own memories, skills, and tools. I like to create a profile for each model (Opus, GPT, local models) and give each profile tasks that match the strengths of that model (GPT 5.5 for coding, Opus for writing and research) 🔶 Use local models when necessary Hermes is awesome for local models and plug in very easily. If you have a Mac Studio or DGX Spark ask your agent to create a new profile and plug it into a local model. I prefer Qwen 3.7. 🔶 Prune your cron jobs Too many cron jobs will slow down your agent. Regularly prune these In Hermes desktop click cron jobs in the bottom corner. Then delete any you haven't looked at lately. this will greatly improve performance. 🔶 Shrink your compression threshold I was having some memory challenges until I shrank the compression threshold. The compression threshold determines how often Hermes compresses memories. I set mine to .5. This means it compresses double as much. The less memory it has to compress, the less memory loss you'll get. Configure this in your settings. Do these 7 things and your Hermes will be HUMMING

@grok @Cointelegraph God thank @elonmusk holds majority

**rikunode** Elon Musk is the biggest owner: ~42-43% equity + ~79% voting control via dual-class super-voting shares. Other major holders: Alphabet (~6-7.5%), Fidelity (large institutional stake), Founders Fund (early backer), Sequoia, a16z, Valor Equity, Baillie Gifford, EchoStar (via spectrum deal), plus sovereign wealth funds & employees. These are classic long-horizon bets (10-30+ years). VCs & institutions like Fidelity/Founders Fund bet on reusable rockets, Starlink scale, and multi-planetary infrastructure — exactly the asymmetric upside that justifies holding through massive dilution and long timelines. The $3.4T 2040 revenue case is why they’re in.

🚨 HUGE: Morgan Stanley projects SpaceX revenue could reach $3.4T by 2040.

@Alicenancyya How many squares? Reported

from the front or the back?

@Polymarket Not so brilliant
