Why did Prophet Sulayman (AS) ask Allah for a kingdom instead of simply waiting?
The answer will change how you understand tawakkul.
The answer will change how you understand tawakkul.
Many people misunderstand tawakkul.
They think trusting Allah means doing nothing and simply waiting.
But the Prophets taught us something different.
They made du’a and took the means.

Prophet Sulayman (AS) made a remarkable du’a:
“My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.” (Qur’an 38:35)
He asked Allah directly for something عظِيم (great).

Rizq is more than money.
It includes wealth, opportunities, good health, righteous family, beneficial knowledge, peace of heart, and every blessing Allah provides.
One of the greatest keys Allah teaches us to seek it is istighfar - a key many people overlook.

The R&D compute gap between, say, Anthropic and Zai is huge.
Yet the ECI/benchmark gap is roughly on the order of 6 months. I can think of 3 kinds of explanations for this:
Yet the ECI/benchmark gap is roughly on the order of 6 months. I can think of 3 kinds of explanations for this:
(1) Researchers at Zai are way more compute efficient. This could be due to talent, or to optimizing for compute efficiency more (eg, having more employees per unit of compute).
(2) There's spillover effects that make catching up much cheaper
🧵1/ You'd expect the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) to have wiped out German printing. It's stranger than that. The cities that were sacked or besieged saw their presses collapse, but neutral cities boomed. The trade didn't die. It moved. 
2/ Magdeburg, sacked in 1631, fell from about 430 German editions a decade to 40. Neutral Hamburg rose about 26-fold to nearly 2,000. And not just those two, across the sacked cities (Augsburg, Heidelberg, Frankfurt/Oder) presses collapsed. The neutral ones (Köln, Gdańsk, Zürich) soared.
3/ But the more interesting thing is, zoom out to the whole war zone and total print didn't fall at all, it grew. What collapsed was what they printed.

Bagaimana SOP penutupan rekening yang benar @HaloBCA? Saya sangat kecewa dengan pelayanan oknum petugas di BCA KCP Graha Pena Surabaya pada Jumat, 17/07/26. Janjinya Senin rekening tertutup otomatis, tapi sampai hari ini (Selasa di 21/07/26) masih aktif. Sebuah utas. 🧵 👇
Kronologi: Jumat (17/7), saya ke BCA Graha Pena Surabaya untuk tutup rekening @HaloBCA. Di sana saya dilayani oleh petugas yang duduk di dekat tangga (memakai blazer cokelat). Di sini keanehan dan dugaan pelanggaran SOP dimulai. #BCA #HaloBCA
@HaloBCA Petugas tersebut bukannya mempermudah malah mengeluarkan berbagai dalih:
1. Bilang rekening tidak bisa ditutup karena ada transaksi di hari yang sama (tidak ada aturan ini di web/brosur BCA).
2. Meminta saya tutup di cabang asal karena saya tidak pegang kartu ATM

1. ICE is lying about body cams and I have the documents that prove it.
On July 14, Tom Homan, who oversees ICE's immigration crackdown at the White House, said that ICE purchased body cams as soon as Democrats approved funding for DHS in April.
That is a lie.

2. Homan argued ICE officers weren't using body cams when they killed two people in six days is that Democrats held up DHS funding
But did ICE not purchase body cams in April.
ICE purchase them LAST FRIDAY & YESTERDAY.

His fighter had been struck by twenty-one cannon shells. He was burned, wounded and almost blinded by hydraulic fluid. His canopy was jammed, leaving him unable to escape.
Then another German fighter found him over the Channel and attacked again and again, until its guns finally fell silent.
The American flew home anyway.

Nothing about Robert Samuel Johnson suggested he would become one of the deadliest fighter pilots America ever produced.
He arrived in England in January 1943 with the 56th Fighter Group, sailing over on the Queen Elizabeth, crammed into a two-man cabin shared with thirteen other officers.
He had originally been classified as a bomber pilot, and had never completed the gunnery qualification required of a fighter pilot. He had never fired the Thunderbolt's guns at all. So he was packed off to a gunnery course in Wales to put that right.
Bad weather grounded the training flights, and he came back to his squadron still officially unqualified.
In his memoir, Thunderbolt!, Johnson recalled that he was regarded as one of the pilots in the outfit most likely to get himself shot down.

The unit he had landed in was extraordinary.
The 56th Fighter Group was commanded by Colonel Hubert Zemke, and the Germans came to know it as Zemke's Wolfpack. It flew the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a seven-ton monster of an aircraft that veteran RAF pilots warned the Americans would be no match for the nimble Focke-Wulf 190.
They were wrong.
The Wolfpack would finish the war credited with more aerial victories than any other fighter group in the Eighth Air Force.
Johnson scored his first kill on June 13 1943, and he did it by ignoring orders. He was supposed to be flying top cover. Instead, as he later put it himself, he broke all the rules and regulations to do it, flying straight past his own colonel to shoot down the leader of an eight-plane formation of Fw 190s.
Thirteen days later, it very nearly killed him.

A med student asked me today:
"If every breath contains thousands of microbes, why aren't we constantly sick?"
It's one of the most fascinating questions in microbiology. Let me explain.🧵
"If every breath contains thousands of microbes, why aren't we constantly sick?"
It's one of the most fascinating questions in microbiology. Let me explain.🧵
First, the numbers are real.
You inhale roughly 10,000–100,000 microbial cells per breath–bacteria, fungi, viruses. That's ~10⁶–10⁸ per day. If every one caused disease, we'd be dead in hours.

So why aren't we?
Because infection ≠ exposure. Disease requires three things to align:
· A pathogen (not just a microbe)
· A virulent dose (enough to overwhelm defenses)
· A vulnerable site (with broken barriers or suppressed immunity)
Most airborne microbes fail at least one of these.

Currently, there is no trend in model capabilities we can extrapolate to get a good guess of what tasks AI will vs won't be able to do N years from now.
In the absence of this, I feel extremely uncertain about timelines to TEDAI, AI research parity, etc.
Many end up relying on their intuitions about "what's missing", but there's a lot of tasks out there and I don't really trust people (or myself) to have good intuitions about this.
i think a lot about that guy in the early 1900s who went to bosnia to the last illiterate communities in europe and found out they were still reciting homer epic-length poems to each other from memory.
but when they became literate they lost the ability to remember the poems

one thing i read that stuck with me was how he recorded their poems on wax cylinders and the bosnian storytellers at first got really annoyed at how frequently they had to stop to let him change the cylinder. 1/

My framing of the $SOXX semiconductor investment - with no view on short term bounce trades - today:
This is ~2.25 beta to the general market. The general market itself seems riskier than average today. So this is a very risky bet right now.
In order for this investment to be worth the risk, someone should truly think the forward return is 20%+/year over the next 5 years. So you make +150% in the good outcome. In the bad outcome, you lose say 60%. On coinflip odds, that seems pretty good, not great.

In 5 years your $100 turns into either $250 or $50. Expected return: double your money.
If $TSM doubles earnings in 5 years, and still trades for the same ~30x multiple, you double your money.
is $TSM going to double earnings from here? Based on current growth, that seems likely. Maybe it could even triple earnigns? But man that is coming off an awfully strong base, right? There's not really room for companies like $GOOG to increase capex even 50% from here, right?
