Issue 23 of Works in Progress should arrive with subscribers later this week (or early next). In it, we tackle the big questions: - How does a woman's fertility really decline (and why are we so wrong about it)? - How did Australia actually stop the boats? - How...

Nuclear power is back. After decades of stagnation, people are starting to wonder how we can build nuclear reactors as quickly and cheaply as we did in the 20th Century I sat down with Alex Chalmers and Ben Southwood to talk about why nuclear power can be so good, why it flopped, and how to get it back again. We discuss: • The astonishing energy density of uranium – 100g of it produces the same energy as 1.5 tons of coal – and why it matters • Why nearly every country in the world forgot how to do cheap nuclear at the same time • How the French state built 37 reactors in ten years • Why even solar power optimists should want a nuclear renaissance Plus: Why nuclear meltdowns aren't as scary as people think!

First domino falls, 11:56, "So it begins..." How does what we said and published fit in PERFECTLY with what was said in Post 343? And look at the timing of this and what President Trump posted. Are you NOW starting to see the bigger picture? And are you now seeing WHY George Magazine has been such a threat and needed to be marginalized and discredited? How are all these things possible?

What happened to Aussie men? No way in the world are genders more inverted than Australia. The women act like men and the men cosplay women. But how did this happen? How did the inner cities become so socialist? It may be a matter of who lived there during the period of gentrification. We went from pioneers to Naarmgroids.

The biggest bet that I am taking is in the Hyperliquid Ecosystem as HIP-3 takes over and disrupts the financial market: $PURR You need to ask hard questions when you are working through an investment thesis and this is exactly what we did in the livestream today. We went through all of the most significant risks and WHY $PURR is an exceptional opportunity in spite of the short-term price action We sat down with the CEO of $PURR to reanchor the market to WHAT is happening, WHY it matters, and HOW to capitalize on it

Chamath: Two terms you need to pay attention to in AI are Prefill and Decode “There's two terms that I think you're going to hear a ton about over these next few years.” “The first term is prefill, and the next is decode.” “What prefill and decode are, are two very distinct ways of how models think, and how a model goes through the process of answering a question that you ask it.” “And so when you send a prompt to AI, what happens is that the model processes it. This is called the reading phase or prefill.” “It reads your entire prompt all at once. And then it does a bunch of math, calculates all these relationships between all the words, and it stores them in temporary memory.” “The problem is that this is really compute bound. So it requires massive brute force. And Nvidia GPUs crush here.” “And their architecture is designed for massive parallel processing, which makes them really amazing at digesting these long prompts.” “So the problem just gets bigger and bigger, Nvidia just completely dominates.” “But the next phase though, this critical phase, the decode phase, is the writing phase, right?” “So the model starts to generate a response, you ask it a question and its response, one token at a time.” “And then to pick the next token to pick the next word, it has to look back at everything it has said already so that it doesn't hallucinate.” “The problem is that this is incredibly memory bandwidth constrained.” “And in our architecture, a long time ago, we made these design decisions from day one.” “And so what we did was we took a very different architectural approach, we took a very conservative process technology. We weren't pushing the boundaries of physics.” “And we used a lot of what's called SRAM. So memory on the chip so that we could do this decode thing as well or better than everybody else.” “And so now when you put these two things together, I just think it's going to create a huge acceleration in the ability for this entire infrastructure layer to get much cheaper and much more valuable, which I suspect then it'll have a lot more developer pull, you'll get a lot more applications being built, billions and billions of more people using it.”

Why did Hitler just get elected? Scott Adams "Some of you are going to wake up and find out that people in your life, let's say young people, who are supporting Kamala Harris, are going to wonder, Why did Hitler just get elected? And you're going to have to answer that question. So rather than answering it yourself, I thought I would do it for you, and then you can just show the video to the young people in your family. How is it that everybody knew he was Hitler. Everybody knew. We all saw it. We saw him trying to steal democracy with our own eyes and stuff. So, so how can he possibly get elected? I give you the answer to that" 1.5x speed

🗣️ Arteta on the “bottling” narrative for Arsenal: “A tremendous reaction again, and I'm not surprised at all. I mean, when you lose points, it was in the last kick of the game again. in a very unpredictable manner, “I would say, because to predict somebody with a 0.2 expected goal, probably and one shot to concede an equaliser, the manner that we did it, is nobody can really understand that. “This is football and that's the beauty of it. And that was a chapter. So we have a long season, chapter 27 says, okay, we drew against Wolves in this manner. “What I'm very interested is about the next one, is what we are made of. What do we do about this, and how we write our own destiny from here going forward.” 🎙️ Dharmesh Sheth

We did it!!!!!!!!!!! First, it was just a tweet. Then it became an idea and the idea was brought to life after putting in so much work and planning. Ladies and Gentlemen, Caketopia 1.0 was amazing🥳🥳🥳 From the beautiful cakes, to the games, the networking. We really did share slices, smiles and memories 😊🥰 I want to say thank you to everyone who was a part of this; the amazing team, sponsors, guests… Thank you so much and we can’t wait to meet you in the next one ❤️ Video by The Only Ella Of Lagos ❤️

“Failure is so much more interesting than success. And it always saddens me that school doesn't teach that. At school the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who could do that, but for the rest of us who are not brilliant, we have to strive, and we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right the first time or the second time. In my case and I counted it. It took 5,127 times. With failure you question it “Well why did it go wrong?” And actually the reason it goes wrong is often very, very interesting. Where something works you say “Great that worked.” You don't even stop to wonder why it works. So if you've got to enjoy failure.” —James Dyson

We are expanding to other blockchains, such as #SOL, #ETH, and #INJ, and maybe some others. So how will it be managed? Find out in our video how this going to work and why a supply shock is coming to $C4 this summer and how it will be increasing in the upcoming months and even years as we approach more blockchains!

Justin Thomas was asked about his group getting put on the clock: "We just didn't really agree with it. ... The hard part to me with the whole pace of play thing is that you, there's so much that goes into golf and there's so much that goes into hole to hole in terms of, are you hitting it close, are you able to tap it in, or you have to mark it, stuff like that, to where, are you holding the group up or are you not, to where it's very hard to make that call. And we just didn't agree with it, to be honest. "But we got taken off, and a hole later we were caught up. So it kind of goes to our point of why we didn't think we should of, but it is what it is. It's a part of it."

I get all of it...if you look at what we're doing right now so next year with Paramount we going to do 44 events" "early on we paid to get on the Spike TV and basically the narrative was you pay to get on TV and it changed right now"
