@chookchookflea @EndgameaiChess I think you were dropped on your head, it's okay though, maybe one day you can get Neuralink and be whole once again 🙏

🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura criticizes anti-cheating measures at the Candidates.
Speaking live on Kick with Jon Ludvig Hammer and Fiona Steil-Antoni, Nakamura called the security protocols “nonsense,” arguing they’ve gone too far.
Players are scanned before and after games, with strict controls and multiple checks in place.
“At some point you have to ask… who are we? Mossad agents in Iran or what? We’re just chess players.”
He added that he hasn’t raised it with FIDE, saying he doesn’t see the point, and believes concerns about cheating at such a tightly controlled event are being exaggerated.

@stringking42069 @EricRWeinstein You don't know what you're talking about. The majority is the culprit. Eric is of the minority who has put his reputation on the line in spite of the consequences, for the benefit of the field. He is one of the few people who is objective and still open to new perceptions, chill.

Anytime my theoretical physics colleagues want to admit to the abysmal state of the field (DEI, Q. Gravity, Stagnation, Ethics issues, abuse, etc.), I’m prepared to use every channel to help in both the U.S. & UK.
It’s really important that we don’t lose everything achieved.

“…theoretical physics grants will be almost 70 per cent lower from October 2026” These are catastrophic cuts that will end the careers of many UK researchers and dismantle theory groups in several UK Universities researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-res…

@chesscoachandra This is a matter of percentile and population. The reflection of the best is reflected in the decimal points. @grok please provide an explanation for percentile and population from 99.9999999 percentile down to 99.9 percentile, how many people are in each bracket? Use global pop

If you are 2900++ on chesscom it makes you better than 99% of players on the platform. If you cross 2100 , you are also better than 99% of the players on the platform…🤷♀️

One of the things I *love* about @claudeai CoWork mode is that it learns me. My actual voice. Who I am and what I expect. As a mind. As a coder. As an author. As a partner.
And then, it just TOTALLY disregards that very personal knowledge base to do whatever the fuck *it* wants.

@elonmusk Did you just say atom-shaping form? Bro is describing the Iron Man suit with no passenger 😅 Elon will control fleets of these things. Didn't @StephenAtHome ask Elon if he was a super hero or a super villain? Did we get a clear response on that? Lol 😆

@PeteButtigieg The cheering, celebrating Iranians look very threatening with tears of joy running down their faces 😒

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day. This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian women are DANCING in the streets with NO hijabs to be seen
The Islamic regime's oppression of women is coming to a close!
It's disgusting so-called "feminist" liberals at home would call this "Islamophobia."
FREEDOM 🇺🇸🇮🇷

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Mr @NYCMayor,
I say it as an Iranian New Yorker: You are a human garbage.
When our people were getting slaughtered and hunted like animals by the Islamic Republic terrorists, you stayed silent. You didn't say a word. Now that the regime, the murderers of our people are under attack, you came out of the woodwork to defend them.
You are an Islamist human garbage and I fight your agenda as long as I breathe.

@BernieSanders @grok how much money and seized assets did Obama give Iran in the Iran Deal? How much equipment did Biden leave behind in Afghanistan?
English
This Trump–Netanyahu war is unconstitutional and violates international law.
It endangers the lives of U.S. troops and people across the region.
We’ve lived through the lies of Vietnam and Iraq.
No more endless wars. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people.
Congress cannot allow Trump to drag yet another generation into a forever war.
