So I promised to tell this story too...
I had a varied grad school career. Lots of twists and turns. Spent time at @IBMResearch doing interesting things.
But I never really had the “academic” drive. I was good enough at research but the tenure track didn’t hold all that much appeal for some reason, and less so over time.
🧵 "Il trucco degli aerogeneratori in “idling”
Scommetto che, quando vedete un aerogeneratore girare, penserete soddisfatti: «Che bello, quanta energia pulita che sta producendo!»
Questo perché forse non sapete che, per una discreta parte del tempo, gli aerogeneratori girano ⤵️

a vuoto come le girandole dei bambini perché la velocità del vento non è sufficiente per determinare produzione di energia.
Questa fase si chiama “idling”, “oziare”.
«Ma allora», vi starete chiedendo, «perché girano senza produrre un solo kWh?»
La ragione è duplice: ⤵️

quella tecnica è per essere sempre lì pronti a catturare la prima bava di vento sufficiente a generare energia; quella psicologica è invece dare l’impressione ai boccaloni che li guardano – e, credetemi, sono la maggioranza – che esse generino energia in continuazione. 😁 ⤵️

acc. me it is OK.
we know from beginning,
that obama and biden played the dirty theatrical treacherous piece about aid for Ukraine.
the money provided by Congres as bianko check
were used by biden's admin
not for direct aid for Ukraine but for some US companies.

biden's admin did everything not to help Ukraine in war,
biden stopped even the aid from
Allies and all the time he protected the russian aggressor.
he also did not use the Lend-Lease.
due to huge federal debt and no achievements in war
trump and House republicans decided...

..not to support those biden's connected bills.
it was clear biden's blackmailing of House reps.
in the bundle of bills was also the bill for increasing of federal budget/ ceiling due to the imminent shutdown of federal offices.
McCarthy helped biden's WH and

This is the verbal abuse that I received yesterday from Israeli journalist Elior Levy when I addressed his justification of an Israeli attack against Palestinian media workers in Gaza, that killed 10 people /1
The attack was against a media tent in Khan Younis. Gruesome images of the burning body of a Palestinian journalist killed are still circulating in social media today. But the target was apparently someone else, Palestinian videojournalist Hassan Aslih /2
According to Levy, Aslih "joined the Hamas armed wing and documented the 7 Oct massacres and kidnappings inside Israeli territory... Aslih is very close to and identifies with Hamas". Levy thinks that is a justification for killing, injuring two dozen people /3

What is Delta in Options Trading?
Delta is a risk metric in options trading
It measures the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in the underlying stock
Example:
$NVDA put👇👇👇

It tells you how much an option’s price will move for each $1 move in the underlying stock
For example:
If an option has a Delta of 0.5...
The option’s price will move $0.50 for every $1 move in the stock

What's the better business model for an AI lab, subscription or API? (1/4)🧵
Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)
The margin on a subscription plan is a function of the average utilization. If we assume both companies have 75% API gross margins, this results in the following subscription margins. (3/4)
Kuleba: The biggest mistake about EU accession talks is calling them negotiations. They are not. A benchmark is a task Ukraine must complete. The EU says what needs doing — you do it.

Es curioso como a veces hay obras que aparecen o demasiado pronto o demasiado tarde. Alejadas del sonido de lo que dictan las modas.
Hay trabajos así, que parecen estar al margen de lo imperante.
Y quizás por eso se convierten en algo atemporal. Rodeados de un aura diferente.

Microplastics are in your heart, brain, and 63 total places inside your body, with no way for it to clear most of them on its own.

So here are 7 cheap foods that flush plastic out before it reaches your bloodstream (science-backed):
1. Raw kimchi
A bacteria strain that grows during natural fermentation (Leuconostoc mesenteroides) has surface proteins that grab onto nanoplastics, holding a 57% binding rate even in gut conditions.
In mice it more than doubled the plastic leaving the body.
It has to be raw though, since pasteurized jars have dead bacteria that can't bind anything.

2. Chitosan (shellfish fiber)
A fiber from shrimp, crab, and lobster shells that carries a positive charge. Since most plastic particles carry a negative one, it acts like a magnet, clumping them together so they leave through your stool.
In rats it raised plastic excretion by 115.6%.

🧵 Hard-won Godot performance lessons from building a procedural open-world RPG (valenfeld)
1/ The single biggest lesson: real-time rendering cost is per-object (draw calls / GPU resource handles),
NOT per-triangle.
A "low-poly" world means nothing if it's made of thousands of separate MeshInstance3D
nodes.
We shipped a green build that crashed every Mac.

2/ Why it crashes: every unique mesh takes a Metal/Vulkan RID (resource handle).
Past the pool limit, vertex_array_create() returns null → "Element limit reached" → a hard signal-11 / MoltenVK crash
mid-frame, with NO GDScript error.
Full-procedural towns pushed us to 130k+ unique meshes. Every Mac died.

1/ El concepto clave aquí es "transferencia de rentas". En economía, el dinero no desaparece, cambia de manos. Durante la última década, las medidas del bloque progresista han supuesto un trasvase directo de recursos desde los beneficios del capital hacia el sector público y los salarios.
2/ ¿De cuánta pasta estamos hablando? Las estimaciones económicas sitúan el detrimento total para las grandes corporaciones y rentas altas en más de 30.000 millones de euros acumulados. Un "roto" a las cuentas de resultados que explica el enorme nerviosismo en los despachos del IBEX. 💼📉
Between 2015 and 2020, the PLA's National Defense University published three separate versions of its flagship strategic text, The Science of Military Strategy 《战略学》Since neither of the later versions explain the reasons for the updates, here is what I noticed is new ...
First, it should be noted that the 2015 edition was the first update NDU produced since its inaugural 1999 version. It was a significant upgrade--almost a third larger in content--including topics such as deterrence, war control & new domains that were absent in the 1999 version.
But what prompted the (relatively) quick updates in the 2017 & 2020 editions? The increase in content wasn't too significant--about a 6% increase in word count. For the 2017 update, the biggest change was adding "Biological" and "Intelligent" as new struggle domains.

Par exemple: "Le jour où sera dévoilée une ساق"
Il a dit — que Dieu lui fasse miséricorde: "Il a été dit : "une ساق", c’est-à-dire une affaire terrible et grave…"
De même, à propos de Sa parole : "Et ton Seigneur viendra", il a dit:

"...Il est obligatoire d'y croire, et de les laisser selon leur apparent ('ala dhahiriha), en se détournant de toute interprétation, en évitant toute assimilation,

This may seem obvious to a Christian, but to a modern antinomian, it's anything but. Here's why: ⤵️
This may seem obvious to a Christian, but to a modern antinomian, it's anything but. Here's why: ⤵️
Scripture tells us that all men have sinned and still sin. To this, soft antinomians add the false belief that all sins are equal.
But when everything is sinful, nothing is. That is the false gospel of the soft antinomian--their only source of hope & comfort.⤵️
But when everything is sinful, nothing is. That is the false gospel of the soft antinomian--their only source of hope & comfort.⤵️
However, this false belief that all men sin equally doesn't expunge human nature, which is compelled to weigh good vs evil.
To satisfy this need, soft antinomians invent a new sin: judging one sin as worse than another. This, they ironically believe, is the worst sin of all.⤵️

Carrie has Bulbar ALS & was declining so fast she stopped recording it so her family wouldn't have to rewatch it. With nothing to lose she tried DMSO and her speech, breathing, mobility, and even her smile started coming back.
But she's far from the only one. Over 2000 studies show DMSO treats conditions ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to brain fog, MS, chronic pain, paralysis, strokes, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome, and a physician who treats his patients with it estimates roughly 80% of what people see neurologists for goes away with DMSO.🧵

Carrie found DMSO after seeing this video. Inspired by veterinarians, Todd, a terminal ALS patient who'd just ordered a wheelchair got his life back with DMSO: breathing crises stopped in 3 days, he dragged 340-lb beams across a road, and brain fog completely cleared.
