Nîmes - Nemausus - The colonia Nemausus was founded in 27 BC by Augustus. During the Augustan era the city got its walls, a forum with temples, Nymphaem, and later in the Flavian era an amphitheatre. Today the city still has many Roman (and some other) remains - Thread 🧵 🧵🧵 Image

Augustan gate - 16 BC - in and outgoing gates for carts and people in foot. Two bulls head decorate the large arches while the smaller arches are topped by an empty space where presumably statues were located Image
Image
Image
Image
The amphitheatre was built in the Flavian period simultaneously with the Colosseum in Rome. Compared to the slightly older Arles, the building has fixed some structural problems with stone vaulting in the galleries. Two galleries and an attic create a space for 20.000 people! Image

How to Think Like a Farmer, Not a Hunter:

(A thread that will change the way you think) Image
Most people think like hunters - chasing quick wins and immediate results.

Farmers think differently.
They plant, tend, wait, and harvest.

Here's why you need to adopt the farmer mindset:
Hunter Mindset:

- Seeks immediate results
- Chases the next opportunity
- Focuses on short-term gains
- Gives up when things get tough
- Lives in constant urgency

Bolton: Ukraine aid and the Iran war show US stockpiles of weapons and ammunition are too low.

Defense spending should rise further, and America should restore the ability to fight and win two regional wars at the same time.

1/
Bolton: Trump is in a panic and wants out of the war. If he thought Iran would be quick and easy, he was wrong.

Anyone who understood Iran knew stopping its nuclear threat was always going to be hard.

2/
Bolton: Trump hopes Iran blinks first, but the regime is driven by ideology.

Its priority is staying in power, not helping Iranians after decades of misrule, repression, and economic damage.

It's official:

The world is now experiencing its biggest energy crisis in history, with 600 MILLION barrels of lost oil supply.

US gas prices are up +47% since December and inflation is nearing 4% in a similar path to the 1970s.

What happens next? Let us explain.

(a thread) Image
Today marks day 51 of the Iran War.

With ~600 million barrels of lost oil supply, ~$50 billion ​worth of oil has been removed from the global market.

This is the same amount of fuel it takes to run the world's international shipping industry for 4 months.

Truly unprecedented. Image
And, the US actually has it good.

Jet fuel prices in Europe surged over +100% amid the Iran War's disruption.

New data shows Europe has just 6 weeks worth of jet fuel remailing with many flights set to be cancelled.

Europe is urging people to work from home to conserve fuel. Image

One year ago, I ran the Boston Marathon after being threatened, harassed, and ultimately kicked out of a club I had worked so hard to build. All for saying this storied race - the most competitive amateur sporting event in the world - should keep the female category for females. Image
I registered for boston when I was 8 months pregnant and in so much pain I could barely run 2 miles let alone 26. But I believe in the strength, tenacity, and power of women (and moms!).

And I wanted this race to reflect that. And so I spoke out with @xx_xyathletics Image
@xx_xyathletics now - one year later - we have a run club of over 100 women from around the country who believe in that strength too. We celebrate and support each other because we know that there's something special about being a woman and an athlete that you can't just don like a costume. Image

New paper with @PatrickButlin, from my time at @MATSprogram . We propose two new candidates for LLM individuation: the (virtual) instance-persona view and the model-persona view. 🧵 Image
Are there multiple minds inside one LLM? Both views formalise the idea that the relevant individuals might exist at the persona level, which means a single LLM can host many minds. Image
We first argue the virtual instance view comes out ahead once you notice that attention streams, not just the transcript, carry mental-state-like representations across token-time. Image

Gianni Vio | A Thread of the Set Piece framework that guarantees 15 goals a season 🧵

A deep dive into the work of the former Italian national team (Euro 2020), Tottenham Hotspur & ACF Fiorentina Set Piece coach with video examples

@Effmatch Image
Image
Gianni Vio has often claimed that being good at set pieces is like having another 15 goal a season striker

This is his impact

Catania 2008/09 17 goals | 44 total

Fiorentina 2012/13 29 goals | 72 total

SPAL 2018/19 12 goals | 44 total

Tottenham 2022/23 17 goals | 70 total Image
Before analyzing routines it’s important to understand the framework behind Vio’s work

The Italian has a 3 step process for creating an advantage at set pieces

• Objective

• Strategy

• Tactic

Movement patterns & variations come from structures not just isolated routines Image

People think this post bearish. It's not bearish.

Let me show you the difference. $SPY
What the models actually say on $SPX right now:

3-Day prob up: 90%
10-Day prob up: 94%
20-Day prob up: 96%
20-Day crash prob: 2.3%
Model consensus: 9 bullish, 0 bearish

Every single model. Aggressive risk-on. Image
Breadth isn't breaking. It's confirming.

78.7% of SPX above 10DMA
82.2% above 20DMA
63.3% above 50DMA
4-week new highs: 32.5%
New lows: 1.4%

These are zones where names digest large moves, small pullbacks. Buyers and sellers must find equilibrium.

Rallies die when breadth thins. This isn't that.Image
