That feeling when your team has hit your quarterly OKRs already so your team can take it a breather in the final week of the quarter 😏

I think newsom tanked his chances of winning the presidency with this position. I don’t think moderates want socialism. It’s crazy to me that democrats are running towards socialism when this country was built on capitalism. We won the Cold War bc capitalism proved to build superior economies

@ScottyP2RAGRETS And the importance of height in the position (you don't have to be the tallest to be a star for either NBA centers or NHL defensemen, but it helps)

@ScottyP2RAGRETS Actually switch all the wing references to center. Fits more the scarcity of the RHD position and the development time window for defensemen in hockey

@ScottyP2RAGRETS It's similar to OKC's 2022 draft where they got Chet Holmgren (2 overall), Jalen Williams (12 overall), Ousmane Dieng, and Jaylin Williams in the same draft .

Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet. The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.

Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old." "John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."

UC STEM faculty are absolutely right, and this change is long overdue. We’re doing our kids a disservice and putting at risk the reputation of the world’s best public university system. As Governor, I’ll bring back SAT/ACT scores as part of the admissions criteria for STEM degree applicants.

"Current admissions practices do not provide a sufficiently reliable check on mathematical readiness for STEM majors." Over 280 University of California STEM faculty have signed an open letter calling on the Board of Regents to reinstate standardized testing in admissions:

A new report shows that 30% of Berkeley Calculus students are severely underprepared. These students have “non-passing rates as high as 46%.” From 2021-2023, “over 800 students (or 24% of the total population) did not pass their Calculus I classes.” Of the 500 among them who were tested for proficiency, “-63.6% came from the proficiency tier with severe preparation deficiency (0-2); -30.2% came from the proficiency tier of underprepared students (3-6); -6.2% came from the proficiency tier of prepared students (7-8).” “Obscuring these preparation gaps does not provide access; it provides a near-guaranteed introduction to failure for our most vulnerable students.”

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents. “Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues. “Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with. The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

CEOs are the most delusional about AI. Detached from reality.

on AI and water use. You could ask a frontier model 4 questions per day every day for a year. Or you could eat a single solitary almond.

@MyFryHole Reminds me a bit of what I was reading about Celebrini coming into the 2024 draft. Complete game but not as high of a ceiling offensively as Bedard.

Two questions I get all the time: "What educational AI tools would you recommend for my kid?" "What adaptive apps does Alpha use?" Many of the apps we've built ourselves aren't publicly accessible yet. Here are ten third-party ones I do recommend.
