but they are failing and will continue to fail as long as they persist in their naïve view that this is just a big real estate deal and that their backgrounds in real estate give them an advantage. It is utter nonsense on multiple levels.

For starters, yes, you could say that Vladimir Pootin is in the real estate business in Ukraine, but not in the way Trump or Witkoff or Kushner have been in the business.

Simply because I did my very best that not just the German police but also "others" - not necessarily Germans - put me under surveillance, and after I made absolutely sure what I think of the competence of regular police forces and trolled them in Berlin, BW & Bavaria among other
other places (ask Nella if you don't trust my words, she got some proof the moment it happened), I also didn't make their job easy because honestly, I am no fan! So I started sending ridiculous whatsapp messages to confuse them and the criminal scum, drove to Freiburg first and
gave everyone who was watching or listening the impression that I am on a hurry to visit Nella in Switzerland - being completely aware of that she was in a safe spot that moment - and crossed the border at Basel. 🤡 I took the route on the south side of the "ĺake "Bodensee" and
SitRep - 09/12/25 - Trump -once again- pressures Zelensky
An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In another attempt to force Ukraine into a PR-stunt 'peace deal', Trump is pressuring Zelensky, and openly discredited him again.

SEVEN SIGNS YOU’RE IN DEEP TROUBLE
(If 4+ of these hit, you’re no longer the man — you’re her emotional support pet)
1. You make excuses for her
She flakes, disrespects, lies — and your brain instantly spins: “She’s just stressed/had a bad day/her ex hurt her.”

You’re rationalizing away red flags. That’s how good men end up with broken frames and cheating wives.
2. You put her needs before yours
You skip gym, cancel friends, pause your business grind “because she needs me tonight.”
Every time you choose her comfort over your mission, you drop one notch in her attraction meter. She feels it instantly.

So... after I made SURE that EVERYONE is aware of WHAT is gonna hit them very soon: I told both, the police AND the criminal scum that I don't give a shit about their usual criminal activities. I'd never rat anyone out for selling drugs... even weapons or whatever and I could
NOT care less if they shoot themselves, who gives a shit really! I also told the #FCKNZS that I have ZERO interest in their little propagandists on the streets demonstrating OR voting for #fckAfD or #fckFPÖ or whatever party which is LEGALLY on the paper & can be voted for! I am
no CLOWN like all those muppets here for example who are sometimes incriminating themselves by attacking people on "the other side" what the fuck guys, that is in my opinion a waste of time and simply stupid. But what I am after when it comes to NeoNazis are CRIMINALS who don't
There are competing views on whether RL can genuinely improve base model's performance (e.g., pass@128). The answer is both yes and no, largely depending on the interplay between pre-training, mid-training, and RL. We trained a few hundreds of GPT-2 scale LMs on synthetic GSM-like reasoning data from scratch. Here are what we found: 🧵
Takeaway 1: RL helps extrapolation only when there's headroom left by pre-training and with the right RL data at the edge of the model's competence.
1) When RL is applied to very in-domain tasks, it never improves pass@k beyond the base model.
2) When RL targets the edge of the model's competence there are substantial extrapolations to even unseen OOD-hard tasks.

2) When RL targets the edge of the model's competence there are substantial extrapolations to even unseen OOD-hard tasks.
Takeaway 2: RL incentivizes contextual generalization only when the base model already contains the necessary primitives.
RL can incentivize new composition skills, but it cannot invent new basic skills. Minimal but well-placed pre-training exposure provides the necessary seed coverage—RL then unlocks strong transfer across contexts by combining these known primitives in novel ways.

Someone, and it absolutely will not be @Wikileaks, will one day reveal that Trump & Prez have discussed something similar.
For the personal use of the State Secretary only. For the High Command of the Navy, Wehrmacht. The Soviet Naval Committee informs in strict secrecy that a submarine blockade against Finland is planned in the Baltic.

In reality today, the “best” universities tend to be those that have become like clubs with members holding that degree having a best chance of entrance into the world of wealth.
To a great degree, “best” is a better of “seeming to be” over “being”.

🧵 Tate Reeves says Mississippi was second in the nation for real wage growth from July 2024 through June 2025. That sounds great!
Let's pull up the data to see what insights we can gain from it. Tate says his underlying source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Met with a prospect who’s been paying himself $60K since 2019.
His business now makes $600K.
That frozen salary is costing him $25,000 in unnecessary taxes.
Every. Single. Year.
Many S-Corp owners have this exact problem and don’t know it:

Many S-Corp owners have this exact problem and don’t know it:
When you formed your S-Corp, your CPA said “reasonable salary.”
So you threw out a number and went back to work.
Your business grew and your salary stayed frozen like it’s 2019.
December 31st is your deadline to fix this.

For high earners, the math is simple:
Take total business income
Add back all salaries
Multiply by 2/7
That’s your optimal total salary for QBI for you and all other employees.
$600K business, $60K salary?
He should be at ~$170K.
Every year he waits costs $20-30K.

Ever heard someone say that modern Bibles have “removed” or “taken out” verses from scripture? Let’s talk about it… a 🧵.
Although it's almost always phrased as "who took this* verse out of the Bible, and when?" it's actually a case of "who put this verse* into the Bible, and when? It's not so much the case that modern Bibles have
