Gavin Baker says the physics PhDs calling orbital data centers impossible on X have not out-thought the 10,000 SpaceX engineers who treat it as solved "It's very hard for me to engage. There are all these people on X and they're like, I am a physics PhD and this...

Gavin Baker re $SPCX: Investors should start to consider Grok when they think about SpaceX, very few of them talk about Grok at all "I talk to a lot of investors about SpaceX. And what's just amazing to me is everyone will have a nuanced view on Starlink." "Maybe they're a skeptic on Starlink direct-to-cell. I think the plan to use these distributed Starlink effectively almost as, we'll call them, small cells, femtocells, is interesting." "Everybody will have a nuanced view on orbital compute -- whether they're bullish or bearish, they will have a view. They'll have a view on terrestrial compute." "Very few of these investors talk about Grok at all." "And it is Pareto dominant on a lot of measures." "And we have an existence proof that Anthropic went from, whatever it is, $1 billion to $50 billion really fast." "And if Anthropic is worth, with the $2 trillion per the FT, $3 or $4 trillion, maybe the numbers settle out -- I said I thought that was a market-clearing price, I didn't say that's where I thought it was worth." "Maybe people should start to consider Grok when they think about SpaceX."

Trump: Now they'll say all these stories are terrible. Well, these stories have, you know, you heard my story in the boat with the shark, right? I got killed on that. They thought I was rambling. I'm not rambling. We can't get the boat to float. The battery is so heavy. So then I start talking about asking questions. You know, I have an, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for many years, long, I think the longest tenure ever. Very smart, had three different degrees and you know, so I have an aptitude for things. You know, there is such a thing as an aptitude. I said, well, what would happen if this boat is so heavy and started to sink and you're on the top of the boat. Do you get electrocuted or not? In other words, the boat is going down and you're on the top, will the electric currents flow through the water and wipe you out? And let's say there's a shark about 10 yards over there. Would I have to immediately abandon or could I ride the electric down and he said, sir, nobody's ever asked us that question. But sir, I don't know. I said, well, I want to know because I guarantee you one thing, I don't care what happens. I'm staying with the electric, I'm not getting over with it. So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, he told this crazy story with electric. It's actually not crazy. It's sort of a smart story, right? Sort of like, you know, it's like the snake, it's a smart when you, you figure what you're leaving in, right? You're bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right? The snake and the snake. I tell that and they do the same thing

"It's something that really captivates the mind, there's no question about it." ~Trump on UFOs 🛸 New Trump: Release of Government Files on UFOs Will Begin, "Very, Very Soon." 🛸 (He then reminded us that he doesn't seem to have much interest in the topic and thinks people who do are "out there." SMH.) Trump: "As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War...to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and Unexplained Aerial Phenomena. And I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people, you're really into that. I don't know if I am, but you..." (Trump laughs as he's saying that last line and some of the crowd laughs along. Stigma is alive and well.) Trump: "So, I'm pleased to report today - I thought I'd save it for this crowd, because you're a little bit out there. You know, a little bit (crowd laughs) - that this process is well underway, and we found many very interesting documents, I must say." (Just documents, or videos of craft performing maneuvers we thought were impossible by what we know of today's technology and our understanding of physics?) Trump: "And the first releases will begin very, very soon. So you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct. You'll figure it out. Let me know. Let me know (crowd laughs)." (If he had a full briefing, he'd know that the phenomena is correct. Whatever that means.) Trump: "But we've had a lot of questions. It's something that really captivates the mind, there's no question about it."

#WATCH | On L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan advocates a 90-hour work week, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra says, "I have a huge respect for Narayan Murthy and others. So let me not get this wrong. But I have to say something. I think this debate is in the wrong direction because this debate is about the quantity of work. My point is we have to focus on the quality of work, not on the quantity of work. So it's not about 40 hours, or 70 hours or 90 hours. What output are you doing even if it's 10 hours? You can change the world in 10 hours... I have always believed that you have to have leaders and people in your company who make wise decisions and wise choices. So the question is, which kind of mindmakes the right choices and right decisions? And I think a mind that is exposed to holistic thinking, thinking that is open to inputs from around the world, that's when you'll make a good decision. If you don't spend time at home, if you're not spending time with friends, not reading, and don't have time to reflect, how will you bring the right inputs into making a decision?... I don't want it to be about quantity. Ask me what's the quality of my work. Don't ask me how many hours I work...."

Trump goes on unintelligible rant: “Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they're gonna vote for me, they're gonna vote for me because it's not just on Fox, it's on Fox is a smaller part of it. You're on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you're on, you're all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down”

"Elon is very mysterious in a way that somehow nobody seems to notice. One of his slogans is, Ad Astra, to the stars, but you can't get to the stars using SpaceX because it's a chemical rocket company. So what the heck? He's not investing in physics, he was going to go into a physics grad school and he has a physics BA, so there's something very very strange about Elon, which is that he's focused on getting to the stars, he doesn't seem to have any interest in physicists, and he has a chemical rocket company. What's going on? His real space company, I think, is not SpaceX, it's xAI, it's Grok. Look at the logo for Grok, I think it's like a black hole profile. Look at its slogan, to understand the universe. I think he's given up on the corruption of science. He keeps talking about the fact that he doesn't like the term researcher, he believes only in engineers. He's constantly really running down scientists. I don't think he doesn't believe in scientists, I think he thinks that science has gotten corrupted and he doesn't want to deal with it. I think what he's doing is he's building Grok to do science in a time when humans are too corrupt to be truthful and real." 😮👀

Antonio Gracias on Elon Musk: “What's formed the relationship over the years is the amount of time and energy we spent together, working on hard problems, to try and help these companies succeed and succeed and execute on the mission of both SpaceX and Tesla. So it's, you know, it's been a 20 year relationship. It's been formational for me. “I’ve learned an enormous amount from working with Elon and all the great engineers here, at SpaceX and at Tesla, and I'm very grateful for it.”

When you leave here, you have to have other interests. You have to have a real life. And I think it makes you better when you come back here because you're refreshed.

Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, from 16 December last year: "...I'm just sitting here crocheting, waiting for a friend, and I was just listening to this podcast that The Wall Street Journal put out about SSRIs and anti-anxiety meds and kind of the over-prescription of them in America. "And it was making me think a lot because I've been on SSRIs for over a decade, almost fifteen years probably, and they were calling out the lack of research on long-term use of these things. "They were calling out the lack of information that doctors give about coming off of these meds and kind of the psychological effects they can have. "And it really got me thinking how little I've thought about that, naively, obviously. "But I've noticed that every time I've gone off of it for a week or missed it or for whatever reason, like, it has been really hard for me, and I've had a really hard time. "And I guess this is just something I was wondering if you guys have thought about or relate to or kind of consider when you're thinking about going on meds like that. "Because I don't know if this is something that I feel like is being talked about enough because I feel like so many of us are on these meds, and this is, like, actually happening.

“You know who the Mockingbird media today?

They got you too?” -🇺🇸Lionel🇺🇸 This is such a pathologically stupid thing to say - and actually undermines what Mockingbird media was. Mockingbird was corporate and institutional media / assets within surreptitiously and covertly working with intelligence and government institutions. Who exactly do you think I’m working with or for? Who exactly do you think is paying me? You think I’m working to promote government narratives after being on the receiving end of hate over my criticism of the Epstein files rollout and Iran war? Or is it just because I disagree with you on this specific issue that I have become “Mockingbird media” in your juvenile mind? Have you even thought through the words that come out of your mouth like a steady flow of diarrhea after a night at Taco Bell? You might be right about one thing, though: I am not like you. I don’t have idols. I’m not a member of a cult where I have to declare loyalty to Dear Leader and attack those who dare “go against” Lord Candace And if you want to talk to me, instead of about me like a little scuttlebutt, I will come on your show any day of the week and you can ask me whatever you want. And you have an open invitation to come on mine. It will be far more productive then you having a discussion with your imagination while defending she who can do no wrong against those who are not there to defend themselves. 😂

🎥| “Already I fucking love this city. I love this country. I love the people. This was the first country as a band when I was about, when I was about 19 years old, I think. Um, it was pretty much one of the only countries I've ever been to really outside of the UK. It was the first country as a band. You don't have to cheer for me. I do appreciate it though. It was the first time as a band that, you know, it felt like maybe might have a few fans outside of the UK and I remember that being really, really excited. And I think we were here for about four or five weeks. We actually recorded What Makes You Beautiful. I know you like it but shit song. So... it was so this is, this is one of, there's not many countries that kind of grab me with nostalgia like this. And it's also not many countries that I would go out and have about a two hour walk, which I did yesterday. I'm not much of a walker, but I wanted to get myself out. It was really cool to see. It was really, really cool to see it with this, this country had a massive, massive impression on me as a young lad and I have it to have a lot to thank this country for. So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for being cool. Alright, it's emotional.” Louis Tomlinson on stage at #HDWGHWTStockholm (Via centr_mass)

It was really, really cool to see it with this, this country had a massive, massive impression on me as a young lad and I have it to have a lot to thank this country for. So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for being cool. Alright, it's emotional.” Louis Tomlinson on stage at #HDWGHWTStockholm (Via centr_mass)

Engineers and salespeople think in completely different ways. - Engineers: "If you ask them a question, a hundred percent of them will try and think of what is the correct answer to that question." - Salespeople: "If you're a salesperson, your first thought isn't: what's the answer? It's: why are you asking me that question?" "And so if you have an engineer talking to a good sales guy, it's going to upset them. Because they're often not gonna answer the question." "The guys who are good at the job get rejected, because you don't like them. And then the people who are terrible at it, those are the ones that ended up getting hired." "These CEOs just wanna take a guy who failed the engineering test, put a clean shirt on him and make him the head of sales." benahorowitz.eth with Brian Halligan

"When [Joe Rogan and I] were done, he got up and he shook my hand and he said, 'You really know what you're talking about. And that scares the shit out of them.'" "Joe...agree[s] with me [about 'vaccines']... I think pretty much wholeheartedly." This clip of Dr. Suzanne Humphries (Dr Suzanne Humphries), a physician and the co-author of Dissolving Illusions, is taken from a recently posted interview with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (Dr Sherri Tenpenny). ----------------Partial transcription of clip-------------- "He was such a gentleman and he's so smart and I mean, absolutely brilliant. Look, look at the things he's done in his life. You know, you can't become a top jiu jitsu person as well as a TV personality and host the vast array of guests that he hosts on a 2 and a half to 3 and a half hour podcast and keep an audience of 19 million entertained if you're an idiot. "So to me, he passed the IQ test and he, he was just really, really excellent host who was quiet when I was talking and at the right moments and had really relevant things to say. So I really, actually enjoyed it. I couldn't believe two and a half hours went by so fast. And when we were done, he got up and he shook my hand and he said, you really know what you're talking about. And that scares the shit out of them. And I was like, oh, thanks. "And I said, you know, people had told me over the, over the past year that I should go on your show. And my response was always, he'll never have me on his show. I'm too radioactive. He was like, well, we proved that wrong. And then I thought, well, I wonder if you'll actually air it. And then it aired within 24 hours. Before 24 hours was up, it was aired completely unedited. And. Yeah, so millions of people have seen that and hundreds have been upset by it who have been upset by it. "Well, there's this whole group of people who think that Joe Rogan is terribly irresponsible for providing an outlet for the minority opinions to be voiced on his show. And, you know, me being a vaccine critic, threatening the public health of humanity, that it's very irresponsible of Joe to have someone like me on, let alone agree with me, which he currently does, I think pretty much wholeheartedly, and they think that I'm irresponsible for using my medicine. Of course, yours is the same. You know, we're doctors and how can we be doing the things we're doing? And so, yeah, the trolls have, have descended in great number."

Good engineers say 'no', a lot. Mario Zechner(Mario Zechner) and Armin Ronacher(Armin Ronacher ⇌) - creators of Pi and Flask - on complexity, agents, and why battle scars matter: Mario - saying ‘no’ keeps complexity down: “A good engineer is an engineer that says ‘no’ a lot, and ‘I don't need this’ a lot, because that keeps complexity down. If you're using agents, the exact opposite happens. You say, yes, I want this and I want this, because I don't have to type it myself. I don’t have to think about it. I just give the little machine a prompt and it'll spit out something that kind of looks like the thing I wanted. Good enough. And that's where all the problems start.” Armin - human-gained battle scars are foundational for teams to say no: “Good engineering is all about knowing the trade-offs that you have to make. I think Cal Henderson once said ‘you do the dumbest solution first until it doesn't work anymore', because there's so much to do that if you actually do the correct solution, you're creating the kind of complexity that kills you at scale. The engineer learns that — but if you don't have that battle scar, it's very hard for you to argue correctly, because it is this learning process that gives you the authority to then convince other engineers in the engineering org that you should be doing it this way.”

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

There’s A Very Real Possibility Of Gavin Newsom Entering The 2024 Presidential Race Due To Joe Biden Being Brain Dead ‌ Tucker explains the truth about Newsom running for President and that California elections are rigged for him Tucker Carlson “I know Gavin Newsom. You know, I think a lot about Gavin Newsom, many different things about Gavin Newsom. But one thing I know for a fact about Gavin Newsom is he has the capacity to beat a lie detector test. Gavin Newsom will say anything he needs to say, not like Biden is not like this, actually. Whatever Biden's fault, he's not like this. Like, Biden would you know, he has, like, guilt. If he's lying to you, he gets twitchy. ‌ Gavin Newsom's palms don't sweat. His respiration doesn't increase. His body temperature doesn't change. Nothing changes in Gavin Newsom when he lies to your face, and there are not that many people like that, actually. That's a rare quality. Like, to lock down the state, to keep people's kids from getting an education, and to arrest people for surfing and then go have dinner at the French Laundry, like, most people couldn't do that. They'd just be like, I… ‌ Interviewer: “You’re saying he's a sociopath? Just he can lie and not care.” ‌ Tucker Carlson: “I'm not a psychiatrist, but I so I don't know that I don't really know the category, and I'm not gonna diagnose him. But I'll just say in 50 years of being around a lot of people, I've met very few who can behave that way, very, very few. It's very unusual quality, and, of course, it's probably useful in politics.” ‌ Interviewer: “Is Is he electable? Is he electable? Yeah. Exactly. Are the American people gonna see that the way that you see it? Or” ‌ Tucker Carlson: “Well, as you know, the system in California does not include elections. I mean, it has nothing to do with what the people think. It's a it's a machine state. It's the most corrupt out of 50. Kamala Harris was, like, despised by most Californians and she, you know, was a sitting US senator. ‌ — So it's like it's not a democratic state small D, democratic state does not run on the basis of what the population wants, it's a fixed game in California. And so it does make me very uncomfortable that someone from that political culture, which is an utterly corrupt political culture, an authoritarian political culture could, like, enter a presidential race. Because, like, clearly, what are you running on if you're Gavin Newsom? As a native Californian, you know, I know what the state was like in 1985 because I lived there, and it's completely degraded from that from that time and, like, how did that happen? Well, part of the big reason the big reason is the political leadership in the state. You've got nothing to run when are you running? Have you driven through LA recently? Like, seriously. So the fact that he would get in the race suggests, you know, they think that they can win without the consent of voters, and that freaks me out.”

“Because I think a lot of people are familiar with you know, pop stars have these alter egos on stage and then they're also a little bit potentially different behind the scenes. Can you talk about what the difference is between those two personas?” ROSÉ: I think, you know, like I started off as, my whole career started as Blackpink and I feel like it was so much fun creating this character on stage because I'm just from like Australia, like in my bedroom, but like it was so much fun creating this like pop star, like character. It was so much fun. And then I think creating my first solo album, it was my discover of like, you know, who am I? And like when I was naming the album, I really thought a lot about it. There was like options like, you know, number one girl. And then a lot of people did like, what about Rosie? And at first I was like, it seems a bit like narcissistic. I'm not sure. And then it slowly grew on me. And then, you know, just the idea of it being Rosie because Rosé has been such a big part of my life. And that's what we present ourselves as Blackpink, Blackpink Rosé. And I felt like this was very opposite. And so I noticed that it was closer to kind of introducing a different version of me, like because it combined all the stories I would talk about with my friends and family. And they call me Rosie at home. And of course, the online name that the company had made for me from at the beginning of Blackpink, I remember when it happened was like the day before they released my picture, profile picture, they were like, Rosé. And like the name got announced.
