Gavin Baker on SpaceX's booming datacenter business: $15B from Anthropic is just the beginning @jason: “ Gavin, your take on the S-1, and I think specifically Elon Musk Web Services?” Gavin Baker: “$15 billion (from Anthropic), that means (SpaceX’s) AI business is going to quadruple. It has already effectively quadrupled. Their first data center was 122 days. For the second one, it took them 91 days. The third one was, I think, 66 days. They build data centers dramatically faster than anyone else at a lower cost. And now that you have a clear offtake partner, and I would expect ‘partner’ to become ‘partners,’ there is no reason they can't start stamping these data centers out really fast. And having watched Jensen for a long time, it is important to Jensen that his GPUs be used. And so GPUs will be allocated to who can plug them in, turn them on, and start converting electrons into tokens. And so I think this business can grow dramatically faster than maybe what anyone could have contemplated three months ago. But $15 billion from Anthropic is extraordinary.”

Physicist Avi Loeb just told me that futuristic technology could enable humanity to travel “faster than the speed of light.” But we would have to move beyond the three dimensions we are familiar with. And he speculated that advanced alien civilizations could already have access to these dimensions. You need to hear his fascinating theory: “Think about living on the surface of a balloon.” “That is two dimensional.” “You might not be aware that there is a third dimension because you are just living on the surface of that balloon.” “If there is another being that is capable of taking advantage of the third dimension, then that being will cross the distance between two points on the surface of the balloon faster than you can imagine.” “Because the travel between the two points can go through the third dimension that connects the two points—not necessarily on the curved surface of the balloon.” “So there are, in principle, possibilities of navigating in more than the dimensions that we are familiar with.” “We are familiar with three spatial dimensions plus time.” “If there are more than three and there is a technological way of taking advantage of those … objects will appear and disappear in ways that we cannot understand.” “Einstein’s theory of relativity states that no material object can move faster than light.” “However, if there are extra dimensions, you might actually travel faster than light in the three dimensions, even though you’re traveling less than the speed of light in the extra dimensions.”

🚨IMPORTANT🚨 Details and conditions of the OG $ARMY NFT Collection MINT Date: 12.19.2024 Total units: 589 Mint price: 58.9 $XRP ⭐️Conditions⭐️ We know that there are few units. We know that we could make a collection of 3,000 NFTs so that everyone can have their own. But the goal is not to make one NFT collection among so many. The goal is to create the best and most exclusive NFT collection that exists within the XRP blockchain. And that is why we know that there will not be units for everyone. Now we will talk a little about what we hope to achieve with this collection. To begin with, so that the process is as fair as possible, a time window will be given (20:00 - 23:00 UTC) where it will be launched as a surprise, on xrp.cafe ☕ The link to the MINT will be given in the Telegram Announcement channel, so we recommend that you keep an eye on it. Prepare your wallet with funds if you want to be ready for the minting. You must have the funds in a wallet compatible with xrp.cafe ☕ Our goal is an NFT collection that shows status, and that is why the units will be very limited. If we compare the main NFT collections from other ecosystems, we find the following: - Ethereum: Pudgy Penguns: 30 $ETH Floor Price (100k usd) CryptoPunks: 38 $ETH (150k usd) - Solana: Mad Labs: 61 SOL (14k usd) SMV: 40 SOL (10k usd) - Bitcoin: Bitcoin Puppets: 0.15 BTC (15k usd) - XRP Bear Collection: 1600 $XRP (4k usd) The goal is to place ourselves among the large NFT collections. As you can see, the minting price of 58.9 XRP (approximately 150 USD) can have an interesting upside. In addition, our supply is more limited than the collections described above. 🔥Less supply = more exclusive = more floor price🔥 The collection is made with a lot of love for XRP. You will be able to see in it many details about our beloved crypto asset. XRP deserves a blue chip collection on par with the rest of the blockchains. In addition, we have a surprise for the TOP 10 $ARMY holders: they will win a gift of 1 free NFT, which they must accept once it is sent to them. Another thing, the minting will be limited to 1 NFT per wallet. This is because we want the units to be as evenly distributed as possible, and there is no whale that hoards 20 NFTs at once. Finally, the NFTs contain rarities. The minting is random. In addition, there will be 10 exclusive 1/1 NFTs that cannot be minted, but will be put up for auction and will be won by the highest bidder. What will we do with the funds raised? Very easy: listing on CoinMarketCap/Coingecko + listings on multiple exchanges + surprises we have prepared The path of the XRP $ARMY to 10 billion will not be easy, but as with $XRP, we will be here giving everything for the project. Good luck to everyone and see you on Thursday at the mint!

The Yankees should save Francisco Lindor from the Mets so he can finally be appreciated. There's a slim chance it happens, but it would be interesting to see what that trade would even look like. Lindor is 32 and will make $32 million per year through the 2031 season. That's a boatload of money, and this would likely be a salary dump. The only thing that makes me think the Yankees would even have a shot is that the few teams that might conceivably take on that salary are in the NL—no shot they send him to the Dodgers or Phillies. The Padres probably don't want another bloated contract either. The Yankees are the team that can afford him, even if Hal wants you to think his team is a mom-and-pop shop. More important than that, though, he'd be out of the National League.

VICTORY IN FEDERAL COURT: A Federal Judge in NY ruled in my favor this morning in Project Veritas vs. O’Keefe. Despite that I and OMG could have given in to their illegal demands to avoid the cost and risk of trial, I stood by my principles, and yesterday took the stand to testify under oath for over two hours. Today, Project Veritas’ motion for a brutal, repressive injunction against me was dismissed. It remains unclear why the organization I founded, 18 months later after they fired me, for reasons that never made sense to anybody, is wasting their donors’ resources on attempting to sue me (and losing). The powers that be try everything they can to shut me up and shut me down, but I will never surrender so long as you have my back. I pledge to never compromise our shared values, and I will go the distance to jury verdict in all court cases against me. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees. When you have the truth in your heart, you have nothing to fear. Veritas vos Liberabit! Finally, thanks to Jeff and Nick and the rest of the Childers Law team for their great work this week. ☕️ Coffee & Covid News 🇺🇸

A closer look on the GSAP powered animations in Webflow. Just from my perspective. In short, it’s way more powerful than I first thought. The more I use it, the more I like it. Of course, there are some parts missing. But it's the first version. There's still a lot to come. For example, custom ease would already make a huge difference. Breakpoints. Maybe a way to add custom functions as sometimes you need to calculate stuff in JavaScript to get complex animations. The biggest part for me is that you can just build the animation inside a timeline. This makes it so much easier than writing it as code. You can fine tune it so much more. When there would be a way to export the tween as code to add some more functionality would be awesome. You can also add custom classes with the timeline, which can then be used in custom CSS to add more functionality. With a bit of custom code you can also use breakpoints for your animations. By using the custom event the animation can be used in custom code which can also be pretty powerful. Didn’t test it so much yet, but would be cool if you could just take the event and use for example the onComplete() from GSAP or other stuff. For example. let mm = gsap.matchMedia(); const module = Webflow.require("ix3"); module.ready().then(() => { mm.add( { isMobile: "(max-width: 992px)", }, (context) => { let { isMobile } = context.conditions; if (isMobile) { module.emit("Mobile Animation"); } } ); }); "Mobile Animation" is the name of your custom event. I hope that part will get more powerful. Something I miss on the timeline is that when you select more actions you can just drag all actions. It would be cool if you could move it frame by frame with the arrow keys, like in Jitter for example. Or just write a specific point like when you have one selected. For now I would further write the code myself, but I’m excited to see where it’s going. Maybe there will be a time where you could animate most parts inside Webflow 🙂 Can’t wait for the next GSAP update!

Good morning, There are times when you have to seat down and have a meeting with yourself! Be honest and ask yourself the tough questions? Yes my parents didn’t leave me a lot but they made me as literate as they could. Yes the economy is tough but have l really given it my all in trying to forge a path for myself or the next generation or l have chosen to accept what is being offered to me. Some decisions you have to question them yourself,l go around with an iPhone 17 promax but l saved for 4 months to buy the gadget,is this the best use of your 4 months savings ? You can afford to have a small stand but instead l believe in Yolo,you only live once so l rent a $1000 dollar apartment instead of $400 dollar,yet at 40 years the same person will be blaming the economy for not owning a home. I have a friend who is either at Evitro,Smokehouse and he posts receipts every Monday,$900 or $1200 and they will be 4 of them every weekend. So l do the quick maths,that’s $200 per weekend for beer plus probably another $100-$150 for the girls they will be with, It’s simple maths that is about a $1000 USD per month of You only Live once,then add the rentals and fuels e.t.c per month that’s around $1500 to $2000,yet he doesn’t mind because he believes he will even make it bigger and better. The honest question is what guarantee does he have that tomorrow he will have this capacity to make $2000 a month or more like he is doing now! I am one of those people who is so obsessed with traveling and running ,sat down with myself and noticed that last year l went to SA 5 times to just run and at a minimum if l go with family that is 2 k per trip,so roughly that is 10 k spent on just running,one day my kids will ask dad what did you do with your life and l will give them stupid medals if l don’t mange myself! All I am saying is we all have the beautiful things we love in this life and the real question is when are we going to stop and build for the next generation !

A couple that makes $20k/mo will live a comfortable life in Toronto, Canada. Let me walk you through it $20k per month is $240k a year. Let’s say each person makes $120,000 per year In Ontario: Federal tax: $18,812.49 Provincial tax: $10,128.16 CPP contributions: $4,055.50 EI premiums $1,049.12 Net pay: $85,954.73 per person per year or $7,162.89 per person per month. Who are we talking about? A couple. No kids. For a couple: Net pay: $171,909.46 per year or $14,325.79 per month. What does “comfortable” mean? Let us say you are: - not living pay check to pay check - filling retirement accounts - paying for food, clothing, shelter, transportation Let us start: TFSA (equivalent to U.S. Roth IRA): $7,000 per adult per year, or $14k per couple per year total. But each person contributed $21,600 to their RRSP, paid $30,000 in tax, and had a refund of $8,900 which they used for their TFSA with $1,900 per person to spare. RRSP (equivalent to U.S. 401k/403b): $21,600 per adult, or $43,200 total per couple. For retirement (TFSA & RRSP): $43,200 per year or $3,600 per month. Let’s move to shelter: A 1b1b condo in Toronto costs $720,000. This should be affordable for a gross household income of $240,000 per year based on the 20/30/3 rule for buying a home: 1. 20% down 2. Shelter costs less than 30% gross household income 3. Shelter price less than 3x gross household income If no downpayment the couple needs to find $144,000 for downpayment, $13,275 land transfer tax (assuming first time home buyer otherwise $21,750) and legal. $162k+ Minimum. Monthly mortgage is $3,400 per month (20% down, 5.1% interest, 25 year amortization) Plus: Utilities Insurance Property tax Landscaping Maintenance Capital expenditures You get the picture. If non-recoverable shelter cost is 2% this is $14,400 per year or $1,200 per month. Let’s keep it simple and say that shelter equivalent is $4,600 per month Next add the following: Groceries: $1,000/mo Car: $1,000/mo (includes monthly payment, maintenance, insurance, gas) We are at $10,200 per month. ($3,600 retirement + $4,600 shelter + $1,000 food + $1,000 transportation) Now add: $200/mo Emergency fund $200/mo. Phone & Internet $400/mo Eating out $200/mo Entertainment $500/mo Clothes, Fitness, Grooming, Travel Total of $1,500 We are at $11,700 per month. This couple has $2,700 per month to spare and can consider having a child and/or a second car. Statistics Canada calculated that raising a child from birth until the age of 18 years of age will cost $1,400 per month. This excludes saving for the child’s post-secondary education in an RESP. In short to live a comfortable life in Toronto with adaquate contributions to retirement, money for shelter, food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, and a future that may include having a child, a couple needs to make $20k/mo.

Let’s say each person makes $120,000 per year In Ontario: Federal tax: $18,812.49 Provincial tax: $10,128.16 CPP contributions: $4,055.50 EI premiums $1,049.12 Net pay: $85,954.73 per person per year or $7,162.89 per person per month. Who are we talking about? A couple. No kids. For a couple: Net pay: $171,909.46 per year or $14,325.79 per month. What does “comfortable” mean? Let us say you are: - not living pay check to pay check - filling retirement accounts - paying for food, clothing, shelter, transportation Let us start: TFSA (equivalent to U.S. Roth IRA): $7,000 per adult per year, or $14k per couple per year total. But each person contributed $21,600 to their RRSP, paid $30,000 in tax, and had a refund of $8,900 which they used for their TFSA with $1,900 per person to spare. RRSP (equivalent to U.S. 401k/403b): $21,600 per adult, or $43,200 total per couple. For retirement (TFSA & RRSP): $43,200 per year or $3,600 per month. Let’s move to shelter: A 1b1b condo in Toronto costs $720,000. This should be affordable for a gross household income of $240,000 per year based on the 20/30/3 rule for buying a home: 1. 20% down 2. Shelter costs less than 30% gross household income 3. Shelter price less than 3x gross household income If no downpayment the couple needs to find $144,000 for downpayment, $13,275 land transfer tax (assuming first time home buyer otherwise $21,750) and legal. $162k+ Minimum. Monthly mortgage is $3,400 per month (20% down, 5.1% interest, 25 year amortization) Plus: Utilities Insurance Property tax Landscaping Maintenance Capital expenditures You get the picture. If non-recoverable shelter cost is 2% this is $14,400 per year or $1,200 per month. Let’s keep it simple and say that shelter equivalent is $4,600 per month Next add the following: Groceries: $1,000/mo Car: $1,000/mo (includes monthly payment, maintenance, insurance, gas) We are at $10,200 per month. ($3,600 retirement + $4,600 shelter + $1,000 food + $1,000 transportation) Now add: $200/mo Emergency fund $200/mo. Phone & Internet $400/mo Eating out $200/mo Entertainment $500/mo Clothes, Fitness, Grooming, Travel Total of $1,500 We are at $11,700 per month. This couple has $2,700 per month to spare and can consider having a child and/or a second car. Statistics Canada calculated that raising a child from birth until the age of 18 years of age will cost $1,400 per month. This excludes saving for the child’s post-secondary education in an RESP. In short to live a comfortable life in Toronto with adaquate contributions to retirement, money for shelter, food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, and a future that may include having a child, a couple needs to make $20k/mo. Otherwise we just decide to sacrifice, and live without something listed above. Get financially literate. You got this! 🙌

At 35 I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. 80% of my tumor shows neuroendocrine differentiation. The Ga-68 scan lit up like a Christmas tree, clear proof of high somatostatin receptor expression. The World Health Organization classified this as a distinct subtype back in 2019. American and European guidelines already have specific treatment pathways… but in Spain we still don’t. So I’m being treated as standard breast cancer by default. That gap could cost me access to therapies that science already knows may work for my exact molecular profile. Time is not on my side with metastasis. I can’t wait years for the system to catch up. My oncology team is fighting hard for me within the current protocols, they are not the problem. The guidelines are. I’ve put all my molecular data, imaging and case details on so other patients and researchers can use it. If you share this video, you’re helping me get the right treatments faster… and you might be saving someone else’s life too. Please watch until the end and share if you can. Together we can push for change. 💪🎗️

All this talk about AGI destroying moats and everything made me want to ship again One of the conclusions from all of you was, if you can use AI to ship faster and better, you should just ship way more complex things, like things you could not imagine making before For me personally I'd never imagine making Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro or Capcut but on the web, it'd simply be too difficult for me, where do I even start? So today I just tried and vibecoded them into Photo AI! A fully functional video editor but the cool twist is this one can actually generate videos with you or your trained models in it directly in your video editor I'm personally less interested in the AI influencers etc, but more fun to make actual kinda cinematic short films with yourself and other people in it, so I made this Likeness in video models is now good enough so that gives lots of cool opportunities, but most AI platforms just let you generate 10 second clips but then you're stuck with that and have to put it together yourself in Final Cut Pro So now you can just [ Send to video editor ] inside Photo AI and you end up here And the next thing I'll add is the AI Agent sidebar I have in Photo AI's main app too, which lets an agent take control of the interface. In this case you'll be able to say "make a short film of me in Bangkok", it'll ask you some questions, then write a script of prompts, which are then generated as videos with you or other people as the actors in it and automatically edited into a short film on your time Then you can right click on any video you don't like (some videos just suck or have bad resemblance to you, shit happens), and click [ Regenerate], adjust the prompt a bit and the new video will show up in the same place on your video timeline In this case I did try to make a short film of me arriving in Bangkok as a digital nomad the first time and being dazed, lost and disillusioned as I am on the other side of the world 🤯 Featuring Lorn's song "The Slow Blade"

I am going to work to share information and strategies with those involved in education, as well as parents, so that they may reduce the spread of Covid, Flu, Measles etc. as well as clean the air to provide the best learning environments possible. Back to School Does not have to mean “Back to Sick”. Every year when schools reopen many students and staff get sick with one thing or another, but there are ways to reduce the amount of sickness we are seeing. I will also post videos and graphics aimed at parents, education officials, and workers, so that we might break down some of the stigma that is attached to public health mitigations. I will be fundraising to continue my efforts, and hopefully I can raise enough to fund the next few months, any amount is appreciated, and a share goes a long way. This has been one of the most challenging years of my life, but I feel this is important, and if you do as well, I could use your help. I started my fund about 2 years ago, have spent money on billboards, had fees taken out, and stretched the rest out over almost 2 years, while providing assistance to others, and making as much noise as I can. Being “that guy who always talks about Covid” isn’t super appealing to employers, and while I know it is my choice to be vocal, I have to try everything to get by while I help others and raise awareness, until I find full time work from an understanding employer. If you need help with personal advocacy send me a DM. If you'd like to help please do so, even a share goes a long way. Thanks, YerAweSum. Paypal: 80ssummercamp@gmail.com

In 2026, 90% of all Polymarket profits will be taken by Python scripts.. And this is not a prediction. It’s already happening. So if you think political pundits and sports gurus are making profits in these areas, let me be the bearer of bad news. Studies have revealed that merely “16% of users are profitable.” More importantly, “most of these users are not human.” How bots are exactly taking your money: Speed. One bot made $313 into $438K in a month. It’s a simple trick: the bot would look at the btc price a few seconds before the price update on Polymarket by checking the price on Binance. There’s no strategy or intelligence involved: simply beating the latency of the system. Risk-Free Arbitrage It looks for markets where "YES + NO" equals less than $1. "94 cents," for example. The bot buys both sides of the market and makes off with 6 cents guaranteed. This occurs thousands of times daily. Not gambling but math. Stream parsing. In esports, the script is faster than the blink of an eye when parsing the stream for games like Dota 2 and League of Legends. A team fight appears on the screen. The bot has already placed its bets on the winner using the old odds. What is meant by the turning point of 2026? Dynamic fees were introduced on Polymarket to get rid of simple bots. But what happened? The difficulty level on this marketplace simply increased. Today, it is not only fast scripts that win. Full-on AI robots have joined this game. They read news and respond to certain events within a millisecond. But here comes the painful part: barrier to entry is dirt cheap. Virtual private servers for $60 per month. Libraries written in Python waiting on GitHub. But here’s the thing: You don’t have to create a bot of your own. All you have to do is copy those which are already winning. PolyCop helps you to track the most profitable wallets and replicate their trades automatically. No code. No infrastructure. Just tap into the wallets that are already dominating. → Copy the winners: Humans deal on intuition and vibes. Bots play on numbers and network latency. In this game, "intuition" always loses against "code." You have two choices here. You could learn how to code or you could “copy” people who have done it before you

Everything Elon said about Optimus at the All-In Summit today: • We’re finalizing the design of Optimus v3. That release is going to be a very remarkable robot. It will have manual dexterity comparable to a human, meaning a very complex hand, an AI mind that can navigate and comprehend reality, and will be made in very high volume. • Other robotics companies are missing those three very hard things. • I spend more mental cycles on Optimus than any other single thing. Solving real-world AI, all of the electrical-mechanical issues, the supply chain, and production challenges. • There is no supply chain for humanoid robots, so it has to be created from scratch, which requires a lot of vertical integration. None of the actuators in Optimus are available from an existing supply chain. • I think if successful, Optimus would be the biggest product ever. • The marginal cost of production, once we hit a million units per year, will probably be around $20,000. It depends on how much we spend on the AI chip in the robot, and we’ll need to achieve a lot of efficiencies in the actuators—26 actuators per arm (26 motors, gearboxes, and power electronics). The AI chip might cost $5,000 or $6,000, maybe more. At 1 million units a year, production cost will be $20,000, maybe $25,000. Price will be a function of demand. • Human hands have evolved to be incredibly sophisticated machines. Hands are a very first instrument. You can swing a baseball bat, thread a needle, play a piano or violin, and assemble a car. Hands are incredibly versatile instruments. Most of the muscles of the hands are actually in the forearm, and the hand is almost like a puppet. Human tendon evolution is incredibly good. The human hand has 27 or 28 degrees of freedom, depending on how you count it; it’s amazing. • In order to create a robot that can be a generalized humanoid, you must solve the “hands problem.” • Even though there are 10,000 to 20,000 electric motors out there, we couldn’t buy the actuators for any amount of money. We had to design every electric motor, gearbox, and controlling electronics from scratch, from first principles of physics. • Optimus is harder than developing any previous Tesla product, but not harder than Starship. • Right now, we’re struggling with the final design of the hardware, primarily the hand. The hands and forearm are the majority of the engineering difficulty of the entire robot. • If you want to do all the things that a human can do, it turns out you need a humanoid robot. If you want to do a subset, that’s much easier. Humans evolved to the shape and capability that we have for a good reason. There is value to having four fingers and a thumb; even the pinky is quite useful. Toes are much more of a question mark. • The AI5 inference chip will be 40 times better than AI4 by some measures. We know the limiting factors of the chip because the AI software and hardware teams work so closely. Effectively, the Tesla AI hardware and software teams are co-designing the chip. • The Softmax function on AI4 takes 40 steps in emulation mode, which will take only a few steps in AI5 natively. AI5 will easily handle mixed precision. • In terms of nominal raw compute, the AI5 inference chip has 8 times more compute, 9 times more memory, and 5 times more memory bandwidth compared to AI4. Because we’re addressing some core limitations and optimizations at the silicon level, we’re able to realize 40x improvements.

“What did you think of Lando being booed at race because people and I've seen it online as well say he doesn't deserve the title because McLaren favored him over his teammate. Do you think that's total nonsense?” Jacques Villeneuve: “That's a little bit ridiculous. When there was some booing in some races, that was embarrassing. You should never boo a driver that's clean, doesn't do anything dirty, on track is respectful, and on top of it is super fast. What's wrong with people? That was embarrassing. And, had it been that Piastri was a second a lap faster than him and somehow Lando was winning because a lot of things were happening, his car breaking down every time, then you could start thinking, okay, that's really not cool. That's not fair. But that wasn't the case. And in the second half, Norris has been faster right at the beginning as well, last year as well. So there's this whole middle of the season where Piastri was driving a lot better than Norris and was getting the points. Norris had an engine blowing up, not Piastri. And so those fans, they don't look at that either. You have to look at the whole picture, at the whole season. And suddenly if your favorite is starting to go backwards, you just got to bite the bullet and accept it. Your favorite is just going backwards. That doesn't mean that the other one is treated better or the other one is undeserving just because the one you're a fan of is not winning right now. That’s really wrong. If you're a fan of the sport, then you have to be a fan of the sport and understand when your driver is maybe not cutting it at this point in time, even though he was before and he will in the future again. It's all a question of timing. But that's the price we have to pay now with social media and how big F1 has become. It's very passionate. The people are passionate and once, you know, fans come from fanatism, you stop thinking, when you get in that mindset and it happens to all of us. You want something so much that you get attached and you cannot - it's hard to start seeing reality. So you will try to mold the reality to your thought process and if your champion is not winning then it cannot be his fault. It has to be something from the outside. It has to be the team destroying his chance or not favoring and so on and so on and so on. But there's nothing concrete behind those comments. It's pure fandom and it'll always be like this. And ultimately it's not a bad thing. You know drivers at that - sportsman at that level have to grow a thick skin. If not, you don't deserve to be there. You just have to have a thick skin because they're all very happy to get the compliments. They love it when it's just positive, but it gets balanced out with negatives and you need to be able to take and accept the negatives as well. It goes both ways. You cannot have the good. You just have to be a thick skin and know that it's part and parcels of what's going on. And in one month, it will be forgotten and maybe everything will change and it be the other driver that suddenly will be criticized and so on. So, it's just that's just the way it is.”
