It must be acutely embarrassing for Google and DeepMind’s... top management that, despite having: 1) a multi-year head start, with most of the top minds in the field working there; 2) their own custom training and inference silicon now on its EIGHTH generation; 3) total investment in property, plant, and equipment of $281 billion; 4) over 80k engineers; 5) most of the world’s data collected and indexed for 20 years (including ungodly amounts of documents, emails, code, books, photos, videos, etc.); they have been utterly upstaged by Kimi, a company with fewer than 500 employees and founded by Zhilin Yang, who only received his PhD from CMU in 2019 (recall that Hinton had been working at Google since 2013!). Something is deeply dysfunctional and broken there to lead to an outcome this bad.show more

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A... Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?show more

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've... been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for The New Yorker. With my coauthor Andrew Marantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted? A thread on some of of our findings:show more

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Russian officials in Crimea have been ordered to... begin evacuating equipment and documents. 🔹 The occupation administrations of Kerch and Feodosia are preparing to remove documents by July 4th. According to sources from the "Atesh" movement, the occupation administrations of Kerch and Feodosia have received an urgent order from the so-called "authorities" of Crimea to fully evacuate valuable documents and equipment. The deadline for fulfilling this order is the entire month of July. 🔹 This directive has also been sent to several other departments. In light of this directive, some officials, who previously had access to official fuel, have suddenly "fallen ill" and have taken leave due to health reasons, quickly leaving for Krasnodar Krai. As a reminder, previously, "Atesh" agents reported that the occupiers were urgently relocating their operational headquarters to work around the clock and were preparing for something with increased intensity by June 21st. 🔹 The Crimean collaborators understand very well that accountability for their actions is approaching, and that Russian air defense will not save them.

Big news! Today we are announcing that Shopify is... acquiring the Threads team. There are a million feelings and thoughts from this journey, but nothing more than gratitude to all of our users and customers for building with us, my colleagues (both current and former) for making all of this possible, our investors, especially Mike Vernal, Elad Gil, Avichal - Electric ϟ Capital, and Jessica Verrilli for their unwavering support and guidance, and all of our friends and family who put up with the late nights, canceled plans, and the general roller coaster that is startup life. To our customers and users who have been asking, here’s how we got here: The past several months have been some of the most interesting and intense of my life. It all started with the rise of Instagram Threads, which presented us with the opportunity to sell our domains. Around the same time, a handful of companies approached us, wondering if we would be open to an acquisition. When this happened in the past, we would politely decline. However, this time, things were different. We weren't that excited about the time it would take to invest in a rebrand, and with mind-warping technological advances now being a commodity, we were excited about joining a place where we could tinker at scale. Each company we chatted with was incredible. However, what ultimately led us to choose Shopify over others was their culture; two distinct things in particular: 1) Craft-obsessed. Their obsession with not just building the right thing, but also building it the right way is inspiring. Sacrifice shows priority, and hearing stories about some of the hard decisions they made to ensure that what they ship is robust, scalable, and trustworthy, even at the cost of short-term metric gains, really proved that their obsession with craft was much more than a feel-good slogan. Their discussions and decisions have me truly believing they're going to be around for 100 years. 2) For entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. Just about every product and engineering leader I met was an ex-founder who grinded for years to turn nothing into something. They all still had that air of resilience, obsession with the details at every part of the stack, and a compelling vision of the future for whatever they were working on. Threads leadership is also made up of ex-founders, so the entrepreneurial focus at Shopify made it clear that it would be the best environment for us to grow and thrive. Very excited for this next chapter with the team and grateful for all of the support we’ve received over the years from those who believed in us. As always, thanks for (th) reading.show more

My opinion on Tour de France Champs Elysees route... change with adding Montmartre climb is clear… The last stage of the Tour de France is one of the most watched days of cycling for non-usual cycling viewers, if not the most. And you simply can’t have there a race where all you need is to watch the last 500 metres to know the results. And you also don’t want "unknown" riders like Groenewegen vs. Meeus to battle for the win. You want the biggest stars attacking there and battling for the win. Yes, it still might end in a sprint, but at least it won’t be 100% certain. Because the breakaway there didn’t succeed for 20 years now. Simply Paris and the Tour couldn’t refuse an opportunity to have one of the most beautiful races in one of the most watched cycling days of the year, instead of a regular boring race. And I am happy they did it. 🇫🇷❤️ #TDF2025show more

A man identified as Hardik has been detained by... police in #Moradabad for allegedly murdering his twin sister and attempting to kill his mother following a family dispute.

The incident reportedly took place around the time of #Holi, when Hardik had returned home with his twin sister. Following an argument within the family, he allegedly attacked them, resulting in his sister’s death and injuries to his mother. Hardik had been living in #Gurugram with his twin sister Himshikha, who worked as an officer in an IT company. Police have detained the accused and launched an investigation into the case.show more

The past year has seen me have a renaissance,... in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.show more

In 2026 there are 3 types of people left... on Polymarket. I have been all 3 and only one of them stopped losing money. Type 1: programmers. They write bots, make $11K to $120K a month. They are 2% of the platform. I tried to become one of them. Lasted two weeks and one broken script. Type 2: people who found type 1 and copy their trades. No code, no servers, no sleepless nights. They are 5%. Type 3: everyone else. Trading by hand, trusting their gut, and steadily handing money to the first two types. They are 93%. I sat here for 4 months and lost $1,800. The most frustrating part is that all the information is right there. The blockchain shows every trade from every wallet. I stared at it for 4 months and kept trading on my own. To become type 1 you need months of coding. To become type 2 you need to stop believing you are special. The team at PMX built a tool that copies the best wallets automatically: I did not get smarter. I just stopped being type 3.show more

We are already at war. Not with rifles or... tanks, but with replacement. This is conquest by other means, through the slow erasure of a people who no longer recognize they are being conquered. That is why I write—to remind my people that we are not living in peace, but in the midst of a war waged without banners. The invasion is not declared with armies but with flights and boats, birthrates and welfare rolls. It is demographic warfare, calculated, continuous, and increasingly irreversible. A people, and a civilization, does not need to be burned to the ground to fall. It only needs to be replaced. Throughout the Western world, we are witnessing not mere immigration but a deliberate population transformation, one that has been rationalized by moral cowardice and enforced by political elites who have long since abandoned the idea that their nations belong to their people. What you mock as conquest is already underway, and unlike the conquests of old, it comes with the full consent of those in power. But I do not write in surrender. I write as a warning, as an act of resistance. My writing is meant to exhort and to enliven, to reawaken what has been buried beneath shame and silence. It is a summons to remember, to reclaim, and to rebuild. We are in an existential struggle, not only for our land, but for our survival, and thus for the future itself. Those who sneer at the loss will one day find there is nothing left to sneer at. A people who forget that they exist will be replaced by those who do not. You may call this natural. So be it. Then let nature return, red in tooth and claw, and let the sons of Europe remember who they are.show more

There are some actions that must be taken with... extreme urgency. One of them is to begin firing gendarmes and former gendarmes. Leo XIV has started putting the “Pontifical Household” and his closest collaborators in order. Now is the time to remove the valets who in recent years have been wandering around the State with the envelopes of cash entrusted to them by Bergoglio to pay the bills. This smug, arrogant and dismissive attitude that has defined Zanetti for years has finally worn out many. It would be wise for him to be reassigned to St. Paul Outside the Walls as well.show more

🧵THREAD: RICHARD HEART IS WORKING WITH ALL MAJOR PLAYERS... IN ETH TO PULL OFF THE BIGGEST STUNT IN CRYPTO SINCE BITCOIN. YOU ARE NOT BULLISH ENOUGH. 1/ Eric Wall is one of the most well connected engineers in blockchain. He’s been dropping subtle clues, and even directly stating, that he’s been working with Richard Heart. In January 2025, he posted this PulseDoge picture of him and Richard imitating a scene from Scarface where Frank asks Tony to work for him. Since then, he has posted more directly about working with Richard, as evidenced below. “What would you do if I told you all the people saying bad things about HEX are actually my friends, and in on it, promoting through drama?” — Richard Heart, 2019show more

May be the most difficult hurdle for a wrestler... to clear—trusting that the same offense that built the lead is what protects it. The instinct is to protect the lead, but the approach that creates better odds, less regret, and is simply more logical is to keep wrestling the same way that created the lead. Stay on the attack, stay in position, and keep applying pressure. The one who needs to change and create opportunity is the opponent who is losing. So why would you go ahead and assist them in this by back peddling and lead protecting, opening up two windows that weren’t there before? 1 – Stall points 2 – Allowing your opponent to solely focus on their offense as they no longer have to respect your attacks. You hear wrestlers in post-match interviews “We do this all the time in the room! Down 2 with 30 seconds left and working to find a takedown.” Not so much the opposite… “up 2 with 30 seconds left and just have to find ways to back up to protect the lead!” So why resort to something you don’t practice in the most crucial moments of a match—or your season? This is from the excellent series “The Climb” by Stilly Boys on YouTube — a segment from Episode 2: Road to the Big 12s.show more

If wages have grown more than inflation over the... past 2-3 years, if real GDP per Capita has increased over the past 3-4 years, if the Unemployment rate hit the lowest it's been in 54 years, and if the Dow and S&P 500 are hovering at all-time highs, than by what actual economic measure are Republicans claiming that Bidenomics is failing or that there is something seriously wrong with our economy? It's a genuine, question. Anecdotes don't count because there is always a portion of the country struggling or doing worst off than they were in the years prior. Stats and facts matter.show more

Predicting the next word "only" is sufficient for language... models to learn a large body of knowledge that enables then to code, answer questions, understand many topics, chat, and so on. This is clear to many researchers now, and there are nice tutorials on why this works by Ilya Sutskever resorting to compression ( ) and by Geoffrey Hinton ( ). However, the emergence of types of understanding is not unique to language models. In by Misha Denil and Brandon Amos the authors trained models to predict the next few time stems of over a hundred robot hand sensors (Touch, Gyro, Accelerometer, Joint Info, Actuator Info, etc.). They ten found out that they could regress the shape of the thing the hand was touching from the activations of the neural networks using probes. That is, the model developed an internal representation of shapes even though it was simply used to predict "only" the next few senses. Awareness follows from simple predictions and interaction with the world.show more

The problem judging GM Chris Grier is clearly to... SOME degree Miami is talented. And now as frustrations w/ Mike McDaniel sharpen a little, we ask how Miami consistently beats the bad teams? Here's how: - They've had a good QB (when healthy). - They've had a bigger budget! Regardless of what you think about Tua Tagovailoa's ability to stay healthy, he is clearly a good QB and that buys you a lot in this league. He won with that circus show of offensive staff mismanagement under Brian Flores. He won with a more coherent staff under Mike McDaniel. He won with his offensive coordinator being changed every year since high school. He won with his offensive coordinator being stable for three years running. He won while never being asked to throw deep, then he won while being asked to throw deep more aggressively than literally every other QB in the league. And now he's winning while never being asked to throw deep again. He won learning from Ryan Fitzpatrick to just "throw it up" to zero separation vertical guys like Devante Parker and Mike Gesicki, and now he wins by pitting the ace to with max anticipation to road runners like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He won using Jaylen Waddle like O.J. McDuffie and he won using Jaylen Waddle like Alvin Harper. He won throwing the ball to WRs to the near exclusion of RBs and TEs at Alabama and in his first years with McDaniel. And now his leading receivers are RB De'Von Achane and TE Jonnu Smith. He won with his RBs combining for 27 rushing TDs with a league-leading YPC, and he won with his RBs scoring only 11 or 12 TDs and having piss poor efficiency. He won with a Head Coach who wanted him GONE and even went so far as to sabotage him (see: 2021). He also won with a Head Coach who cradles his head at night and does his daily best to convince him he's the most special boy in the universe. Sitting at #5 overall in the 2020 Draft there was plenty of debate behind the scenes whether Miami should take Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, or do some dealing for Jordan Love. And you know what? To some degree, there wasn't really a wrong choice. To some degree, no matter which of the three roads they went down, they'd have had a winner at the most important position in the sport. Which brings us to the other reason Miami has had the look of a talented team over the years: cheating. (Not REALLY, of course. Let's not get any more draft picks taken away by Roger Goodell.) The fact of the matter is Miami has had a bigger effective budget than almost any other team in the sport over the last 5 years. They were given the green light on a Tank Season in 2019. Like declaring Bankruptcy, they retired all cap accruals and started fresh with zero cap debt. And just 5 years later they probably rank 4th or 5th in the entire league in cash that has already been paid out to players but has yet to be expensed against the salary cap. Think about that for a minute. There are other teams out there, e.g. the Saints and Eagles, who have a massive amount of cap debt. But they have been rolling & massaging that cap debt for a decade-plus, with people like Khai Harley and Howie Roseman keeping them on the leading edge of creative financialization of the salary cap. Miami reached their level of debt in only 5 years after their tank season. They've had an operating budget effectively 20% larger than your average NFL team. They have the Yankees budget. Add on top their fortunes from the Laremy Tunsil trade, and yes Miami has been able to amass talent...because they had a LOT to spend. Do they win over and above what Lady Luck dealt them in terms of QB choices in 2020? Do they win consistent with their league-leading budget over the last 5 years? What are they left with going forward? The oldest Defense in the NFL, and an offense that needs a line rebuild. When you consider all of the factors, this is why Albert Breer recently suggested Miami will be looking at making a change at the GM position.show more

Loool😂 After leading a 6 year smear campaign against... the Royal family, especially the Wales family; After hiring and losing 11 publicists and 3 big US PR houses in 5 years; After PR stunts after PR stunts, chasing the Kardashians, cooking shows and holiday special; Instagram blitz of PR online and even throwing their Children in the spotlight to save Mummy’s brand..😮‍💨 Meghan ranked #1 on Rankers 2025 list of Most Disliked Celebrity in Hollywood😂 It reads: “Meghan Markle has claimed the top position on Ranker's 2025 list of the Most Disliked Celebrities, according to live, crowd-sourced voting data. The duchess's rise to No. 1 follows several years of sustained public disapproval, particularly in the United States, after she and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties."🤭 Harry was #5. Get this, she was first ahead of P Diddy, a known sexual offender. This is how you know your reputation is over😭 Even Buckingham Palace could not save H&M with their PR experts. No one can. Their true repulsive characters have been exposed to the world. There is no going back. As Socrates put it: “Consider your good name the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of”🔥 As a public figure especially, your good name and good reputation is your entire credibility. Once that has been tarnished and exposed as toxic, no amount of PR can rectify the course. H&M have been making that list of most disliked celebrity in Hollywood as top 5 since 2022🤷🏽‍♀️ Their credibility on the world stage is so shot that the DM was just reporting on how most of the 11 publicists who left their employment have “scrubbed all mentions of working for the couple on their CVs”🤯 Yikes. Staff who used to work for the Wales proudly display in their CVs that they were employees of the Prince and Princess of Wales because William and Catherine’s good name carry in the world👌🏽 However, Staff who used to work for H&M would rather scrub them off their CV in order to be taken seriously because NO ONE worth their salt, takes the clowns of Montecito seriously. I am not sure what lies Meghan’s medium in New York told her about the year 2025 but whatever she said, I know 2025 has been her “Annus Horibilis”😂show more

Yes, its been a terrible start for the token and execution has been incredibly poor, to say the least.. which is why the token deserves the price its currently sitting at.. But I have no doubts about Redbelly Network from a technical pov.. Formally verified, fork-proof, instant finality.. one of the fastest, most secure and scalable blockchains in the world, already securing assets in the billions on chain.. I could go on $RBNT was always going to be a long term conviction hold for me It’s been on my radar for 6 years.. and it’s one of those assets I fully expect to still be holding in some capacity 6 years from now It's not how it starts.. it's how it ends $RBNTshow more

The past six months have been some of the... most special in my life. 1.Ambrus was named Volatility Hedge Fund of the Year by HFM along with winning two other awards from HedgeWeek and HedgeFundJournal. 2.We got a few new great investors and were backed by a multi-strategy hedge fund that truly shares our philosophy around trading volatility. 3.We’re now approaching our soft close period, which is estimated to bring our AUM to roughly a little over half a billion. I share this not really as a milestone from the stance of someone who started a hedge fund team half a decade ago, but as a testimony to God’s goodness and faithfulness in my journey. I just want everyone to know that this is all to his Glory. I hope you find your passion and allow God to lead you into your calling with grace and favor. I love this game and wouldn’t change a thing about my journey in it.show more
