Last summer I found myself sitting in a room in Switzerland surrounded by world leaders from completely different industries, all talking about the future of our planet. A very different environment to what I was used to! I was invited onto to a channel to give my take on leadership with my best mate and brother Jay. We talked about leadership and what it meant to us both. I always used to think leaders were born but itโ€™s far from the truthโ€ฆ. They are made. My biggest realisation was that we talk a lot about leadership like itโ€™s confidence and certainty. Like leaders always know what to do. The truth is they donโ€™tโ€ฆ and thatโ€™s ok. But good leaders will go seek out better answers and grow. While poor leaders will leave it to someone else to do or turn a blind eye. The day made me realise most of my growth has come from failing. I try to lead with my best intentions, but upon reflection or feedback, I realise there was a better way to do it and then next timeโ€ฆ. I lead better and the process repeats! And that day forced me to look at myself properly. As for me, leadership isnโ€™t a title, or being a CEO or having an armband. Itโ€™s influence. And thatโ€™s the scary part, because everyone has it. Even my two young kids. Every morning before school I tell them the same thing: Be the sunshine in the room โ˜€๏ธ Because whether we like it or not, weโ€™re leading every single day. In the changing room. At home. In how we speak. In how we react when things donโ€™t go our way. Weโ€™re either having a positive impact or a negative one. And that choice sits with us.

I have decided to go fully into a state of confession & reconciliation I wasnโ€™t sure if there were certain things in my life I wanted to give up Iโ€™m too familiar with my worldly lifestyle & it has seemed to hard to detach from Perhaps it is and I will fail. I cannot know my future, but I can hold on to faith and Godโ€™s promise to guide me into His will I wonโ€™t ever be perfect, but Iโ€™m willing to submit whatever God is calling me to give up or begin doing Surrounded myself with a group of good Godly people and resources first as I know itโ€™s going to be very difficult / hard to stay accountable If you ever hear that Iโ€™m not perfect, that I have sinned, or compromised on my spiritual goals. Unfortunately itโ€™s all possible as an imperfect human being - I honestly donโ€™t even know what success looks like in this endeavor But the fear of future failure cannot and will not longer be a tool of the enemy to keep me from putting my best foot forward to conform to the character of God Pray for my soul that I would be set free to be in communion with God and please always pray for the souls of all those still suffering in sin & rebellion Iโ€™m not claiming a sudden conversion, just willing to begin the actual journey to submit my life to The One who created me. I donโ€™t know my purpose here on earth, but I know my purpose isnโ€™t the way Iโ€™m living May God grant me the grace and mercy to find out the answer to this difficult question. I know the answer is out there, in Jesusโ€™s name. (I hope I never lose my dry sense of humor in all of this - I will still always be imperfect me, but hopefully Iโ€™m changed internally)

Keith Keith Rabois Breaks Down Trump's Political Super Powers: Keith on E207: "So the most interesting question to me, over the last year was: how is (Trump), who everybody in the media and everybody in the legal groups of various things is trying to attack and hate, why is he on the precipice of being elected President of United States twice?" "(Trump) must have a super power or two." "So what it came down to, and I interviewed a lot of people who were critics of him but knew him well, like ex-cabinet people that don't like him." "It comes down to he just asks a lot of 'why?'" 1) Asking "Why?" Keith: "Trump asks a lot of "why?": 'Why do we have to do it this way? Why have we done it this way?'" And it turns out in politics and in DC, most of the answers are pretty mediocre, or weak, or poor, or haven't been rethought for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years." "And so (Trump) just constantly dives in and says, 'why, why, why, why?'" "And that's actually what predicts success for founders, is in a domain they don't know anything about, they're just like, 'why?'" In Airbnb's case, the founders asked, "Why should we take hotels for granted? Why should they be so expensive?" 2) Getting Feedback from a Diverse Group of Thinkers Keith: "(Trump) doesn't just take one source of input. And so you can never totally predict the output." "But he arrays an interesting cast of characters and listens to them." "Like for example, I haven't spent that much time with him, but in so far as I have, he would go around the room and ask every single person at dinner, 'What's your view on 'X'?' And literally go around a room of 28 people and listen to every single person." "So I think that's how he makes decisions."

First, I wanna thank my teammates. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for helping shape a kid full of piss and vinegar. Thank you for doing your best to keep me out of trouble. Thank you for keeping me alive. To my superiors/commanders, Iโ€™m sorry for all you had to put up with. The middle age man version of me wouldโ€™ve probably destroyed that kid that showed up to your team room. When youโ€™re in the public eye, as I have been for some time now, you expect to be scrutinized. That comes with the territory. What you donโ€™t expect is to have members of your own community rip apart painful stories that youโ€™ve laid bare to the best of your ability. Stories that were corroborated by multiple people. Stories that passed legal review. Stories that passed extensive DOD review. Do I think the battle happened exactly the way I remember it 16 years later? No, I donโ€™t. Which is why I addressed that in the introduction to my book. Scars and Stripes was originally called โ€œFailure is Not Finalโ€ but the publisher thought we needed a more upbeat and catchy name. Name change notwithstanding, Iโ€™m proud of the book. Iโ€™m proud of the people I talk about in the book. Iโ€™m proud of my service. In this video I address some of the things the podcast charged me with. I know it will not satisfy them as they make their money by trying to bring people down with more followers than they possess. I also know it will not satisfy their most steadfast supporters. I look forward to hearing about 50 grenades from no name private accounts on pictures of my kids until the day I die. Itโ€™s not my first internet rodeo. For those of you are reasonable, I ask that you listen to what I have to say, assess whether it is more likely that I fabricated all this stuff and all the people around me and DOD just went along with it, or whether someone went through the book in the least gracious way possible in order to profit off of my name. In either case, I thank you all the support and attention youโ€™ve given me over the years. I will never be worthy of it. I will always appreciate it. Love, Your favorite Coalition Asset, Tim.

Iโ€™m going to be honest. Itโ€™s been really hard on me. Iโ€™m unapologetically black in a predominantly white space and I face battles that no one else has to deal with. Culturally Iโ€™m different from literally every other person in this space so I feel completely misunderstood at times. People create fake accounts to harass me, Iโ€™ve been called the N word more times than I ever have in my life, people who I donโ€™t even know go on podcasts and make up lies about me being a โ€œrunnerโ€. Some people even found my momโ€™s number on the internet and called her house trying to get to me. Even when Iโ€™m winning it feels like every single bet or analysis is life or death. I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™m given the grace that other people may get who look different from me. I love what I do but I donโ€™t deserve to be treated the way Iโ€™m treated by people especially for how much Iโ€™ve given to this space. I also donโ€™t take kindly to being constantly called a DEI hire with all the things Iโ€™ve accomplished either. I probably donโ€™t handle it the best. Ivy League degree aside, deep down Iโ€™m still a black kid from South West Philly and when I feel attacked, I revert back to the version of me that had to survive growing up. I try not to engage as much and ignore the noise but Iโ€™m not perfect. Iโ€™m still growing and still trying to become the best version of myself.

My fox shooting garden defending AI robot is finally done and WORKING! ๐Ÿคฉ (Donโ€™t worry it only shoots ๐Ÿ’ฆ water) After months of slowly moving forward with each part I finished the last step to train a TensorFlow model on the footage of the ๐ŸฆŠ fox I collected hours of footage ๐Ÿ“น with the fox roaming around my garden, from this I labeled around 2000 images with the fox by hand โœ‹ Honestly, I was quite skeptical training the model was actually gonna work, maybe this was partly the reason I avoided working on this until the very end. If I couldnโ€™t train a model to detect the fox, this whole robot would never be able to function properly. On the flipside though, with no previous experience in hardware or electronics there was a bit of a learning curve and I didnโ€™t want to end up labeling thousands of images, training a TensorFlow model, only to fail on building the hardware. As I started building, I realized that mixing hardware and software adds quite another dimension to debugging things. At times I wasted hours debugging code in my IDE, only to realize the issue was somewhere in the electronics. Furthermore, combining this side project with a full time job and a young family, is not always easy. It can be quite frustrating, to know you only need 4 hours of concentrated effort for a small task, having to spread it out across a week of 20min increments. Then, a few months into the build I noticed the fox had stopped coming to my garden, in fact one day, I recorded her walking with 3 cute little ๐Ÿถ pups, and the next day I saw her moving out of my garden completely. Did she know I was building a robot? I had this strange mix of feelings, happy my garden was safe from poop and digging, happy she was safe with her pups, but how was I gonna finish this project if my robot had no fox to detect? For sure they would be back next year, I figured I could postpone the whole thing until next winter, but I also knew it was gonna be much harder to pick up momentum if I did let it sit there for six months. So I decided to keep working, hoping the fox would reappear,.. but she never did. As I finished labeling the footage and started training my model, I could finally see the mAP results, quantifying the precision of my object detection model. It was measuring at 78% across different metrics on detecting my fox. I quickly ran the model on some of the video footage I got from my fox. Inference speed took a hit, but it did a near perfect job detecting the fox, even when she was deep down in the grass or wizzing past in a motion blur. It took me by surprise how well it worked. With the default model I had to drop my confidence threshold way down to 15%, to recognize the fox as ๐Ÿฆœโ€œbirdโ€ in one or two frames, with my custom model it followed the fox all the way down to the back of the garden! Still this didnโ€™t solve the issue of there being no actual fox in my garden and how was I gonna wrap this project in a short timeframe. I played with the idea of putting a fox toy ๐Ÿงธ on an RC ๐Ÿš— car, or borrowing a dog to run around the garden to test. Friends suggested I run around the garden in a fox costume.. what a ridiculous idea. I wasnโ€™t really feeling the idea of running around the garden in a floppy cloth fox ๐ŸŽญ costume, but had a look anyway. I came across these self inflating costumes. This actually could be perfect. Since itโ€™s inflated, it would hold its shape super well, making it much easier to label, train and be recognized by my robot. So I got the costume and shot a time lapse of myself as a fox walking around the garden. I labeled it to around 600 images. Ran the model training again and got a mAP result of 82%. This was even better than my real fox! At this point I knew this was gonna work. So hereโ€™s the final ๐ŸŽฅ video, just having some fun with it. Iโ€™ll update here whenever the real fox does come back. On a final note, Iโ€™m looking for (remote) jobs in these fields of AI now: - object detection - visual generative AI - 3D (nerfs + gaussian splats) So if you know anything let me know! My DMs are open ๐Ÿ˜Š

My name's Ania Natalia Zubko I m from Poland and Ukraine. I was living in Belgium, I was adopted and after 26 years I found all my biological family and discovered recently that my grand father was ukrainian. I began the humanitarian help since my childhood, and during the floods in Belgium, with friends we rebuild more than 3000 houses. I saw the strength of social media for help each others. Was miraculous ! When the war beginning, some people ask me to help and simply I went. When I was 6 years old, I slept on the ground and trained every day to become a soldier, a vocation I had as a little girl, I prayed to the Lord every day. But I never imagined, 2 years ago when I met my lover who is Ukrainian and is in the artillery that today I would be in the ukrainian Marines in the same brigade. I was the first foreigner to signed contract in ukrainian Marines. And currently, I am helping each of my brothers to obtain starlink, cars, generators, drones, REB and medical equipment including a medical container that has already saved more than 6,500 lives... I am proud of the education I received from my Belgium family's and it has been normal for me since I was little to help each other. Because I come from a large family of 8 children including 3 disabled brothers. I learned about difference, illness and war since I was a child. My best friend was a survivor of the massacres in Rwanda. To be here, in frontline, I was living 1 year in Kherson and the safari of hell of drones, ... and now in Donetsk with my brothers in arms.

This is evergreen! When a young boy asks John MacArthur why didnโ€™t Jesus just *Pow* in the garden when Eve ate the apple, He can stop it like that? Bible Questions and Answers, Part 70 โ€” John MacArthur โ€œIโ€™m Joey Cusenza, and my question is, why didnโ€™t Jesus stop Eve at the garden of Eden when she ate the fruit? *Like, I mean, pow,* He can just stop it like that. Why didnโ€™t He?โ€ JOHN: That is the most profound question of all questions: Why didnโ€™t God stop Eve from eating the fruit? This theologians call the problem of theodicy: Why is there evil in the world? If God is absolutely holy, why is there evil in the world? Thatโ€™s essentially that question: Why didnโ€™t He stop it before it started? First of all, the broad answer is this: because God allowed her to eat that fruit, God allowed sin to come into the world, so that He could be glorified. Now God is a God of love, and He could express that love even in the perfection of the Trinity. And He expressed that love to Adam and Eve when He walked and talked with them before they sinned and before she ate. So God could express His love. But if there had never been a sin, there would never be forgiveness, there would never be mercy, there would never be grace, there would never be compassion, there would never be healing, there would never be restoration. And so, forever and ever, the angels would never be able to worship God for all those aspects of His nature. So God allows evil so that He can display grace and mercy and compassion because those also are attributes of God that can only be put on display through His response to sin. Thereโ€™s another reason, and that is that God is holy and just and righteous. He would never be able to display ultimately what that means unless there were sinners to judge. So whether it is judgment on sin or whether it is salvation from sin, the fact that sin exists allows God to display eternally the glory of the full scope of His attributes. Okay? Great question. Thank you, bud.

Thank you, Ms. Rachel. #BeLove Posted Repost app โ€ข @msrachelforlittles This is my friend, Rahaf, from Gaza. Meeting her and her wonderful mama changed my life. Thank you to The PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund) for facilitating her medical evacuation. Rahafโ€™s young brothers and dad are still in Gaza. Hereโ€™s part of something I wrote after meeting Rahaf and Israa. One minute I was pretending to be bunnies with Rahaf and the next minute I was video chatting with her two adorable, young brothers in Gaza, as her mom, Israa, held the phone up for me. I watched Israa look at them proudly, like I look at my son. It was a drastic snap back into reality. I imagined myself holding the phone in the US with my daughter, now a double amputee from an airstrike, away from my son in Gaza, unable to help him. I felt like I was going to throw up and came back into the moment. โ€œI hope to meet you one day!โ€ I happily said, in my classic Ms Rachel voice but with tears in my eyes. Israa tells me that they no longer eat while video chatting with her sons. Her sons are so hungry and have so little food. They look about 5 and 7 years old. About my sonโ€™s age. โ€œIs there anything I can do to help her boys get here?โ€ I asked another mom, who is also Palestinian and was translating for us. Tears streamed down her face. She said she is so touched that I want to help but nothing can be done. I flash back to a moment on a zoom when she also cried and said โ€œThank you for seeing our children as human.โ€ I ask Israa what she did for work. She answers that she was a teacher and taught math. I think about how Israa and I are both teachers. We both love our children with all of our hearts. We want the same thing for them. But my son will have dinner tonight, a story and snuggle with me, school in the morningโ€ฆ and hers wonโ€™t. If the situation was the other way around, what would I hope Israa would do for me?โ€

I got to try Grok 4.5 in early access in Cursor for the past few days and I absolutely enjoyed it. It feels like Opus 4.8 at 2x the speed at a much cheaper price point. I tasked it to brainstorm > plan > implement a big feature for my game (this act 1 boss fight) and it did not disappoint. - It is much smarter than Composer 2.5, during planning mode, it is able to think through my request more robustly, ensuring that edge cases are covered and makes sure to ask the right questions to confirm with me first. - It is much better at brainstorming ideas/suggestions, similar to Opus 4.8, though I think Fable still edges out a little when it comes to brainstorming ideas and suggestions - It is FAST. probably the fastest of all frontier models (Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5 etc), which makes it a joy to build with, because I can stay in the flow - It has much improved visual/animation capabilities than Composer 2.5, it can code up animations (i wanted an explosion animation with particle effects) with much, much better visuals, animation movement and timing. This is a big leap and I was so happy to see this improvement. - The best part for me is that I can just use the same model from planning down to execution without switching to a lower cost model because the price point is cheaper than other frontier models. I'll be testing this model with more challenging tasks in the next few days but I think this is going to be my main driver for vibe coding for a while. Also, its nice to see Grok back in the race. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Letโ€™s get something straight, yโ€™all: Iโ€™m not perfect. Iโ€™m a Christian. But Iโ€™m not a good one. I believe in Jesus 100%. But I cuss like a sailor. Iโ€™m quick to anger. Iโ€™ll throw these hands. Iโ€™m absolutely riddled with sin. If I get past the pearly gates, Iโ€™ll wind up on the Southside of Heaven where folks are listening to Bocephus and drinking moonshine. And Iโ€™m okay with that. Hereโ€™s what Iโ€™m not okay with: Iโ€™m not okay with someone being disrespectful to me or anyone else, especially in an instance like this. For those of yโ€™all who donโ€™t know Renatta, you should go follow her. Sheโ€™s inspirational. She makes me want to be a better Christian. Sheโ€™s full of love and light. Her disability? Itโ€™s insignificant. Renatta is often attacked by people on the left. Folks call her the r-word for standing up for her beliefs. Yeah. The all accepting leftโ€ฆ picking on a woman for not fitting their standard of normal. Anytime I see it, my heart breaks. It makes me angry. I worked with special needs kids throughout middle and high school. Autism is rampant in the younger generation of my family. My nephew? Heโ€™s non-verbal. So when Cory here decided to attack me in her comments rather than on my turf? It made my teeth itch. Why would you attempt to change the conversation away from such a touchy subject? Who does that? I blocked him. But Cory? He tracked down my email. Donโ€™t be like Cory, yโ€™all. Be better than Cory. Be better than me. Be like Renatta.

A message for my TikTok family: In case we lose Tiktok I want to thank you for creating a space that provided me the freedom to be myself. Before this, I was modeling professionally full time and although that was incredible and elevated me from my very humble beginnings in life, I didnโ€™t have the freedom to be myself. How I looked, what I wore and what weight/size I had to maintain was not up to me. Because of you, I was able to prioritize social media, which gave me the freedom to be creative and do what I wanted without compromising a paycheck. Itโ€™s afforded me the opportunity to create content that I had creative freedom over. It gave me opportunities that led to collaborations with high profile brands like ESPN, BMW, Coach, Netflix, Mastercard, LG and the list goes on and on. Itโ€™s blessed me with being on billboards with my own name on my videos. As a model, you donโ€™t get credited for your work. I was on TV, magazines, print ads and billboards more times than I can count but for the first time in my life, my name was with my image because I wasnโ€™t just a model anymore, I was me. It gave me an identity of my own, not who they dressed me up as that day. When my mom passed away I was completely lost, and thatโ€™s when I found you. I had about 800 followers at the time and less than 2 years later thereโ€™s 1.2 Million of you on Tiktok alone. I canโ€™t thank you enough for supporting me thru this journey and I look forward to what the future holds. I know this feels like the end of the world for some, but take it from someone whoโ€™s already experienced the worst thing that can happen to them.. we will be ok no matter what the outcome is. Accepting the things we canโ€™t control and moving forward despite the setbacks will only make us better. And if we are blessed with being able to keep Tiktok, well we will be that much more grateful. I hope we can connect on other platforms because the thought of losing our community hurts my soul. I love you all with all of my heart and will always stay strong for you, I ask that you do the same. Thank you for getting me thru the most difficult time in my life. Cheers to whateverโ€™s next ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅ‚

here's my thoughts + some frags from a few days with the super speed polarity: to me, the polarity is the culmination of everything we've learned from glasspads in the past few years. - smooth, but textured. - the stickiest and most solid base i've ever used. - never any issues with dust or other qol things. - as skin-stick resistant as glass pads have been able to achieve (still sticky with sweat/humidity) - 560x480 is something i've wanted for a long time. - softer skates can generate a small amount of stopping power by pushing down. - the glass itself has a "soft" feel to it. it's everything i could ask for from a glass pad. i have a lot of faith that whatever tekkusai ends up with as a final product will be the best glass experience on the market. but yeah, this thing is too fast LOL. microadjustments feel insanely responsive and my precise tracking felt soo nice, but if i wasn't in total control of my tension, it's stupidly easy to overadjust or overreact. in terms of stopping power, it was very difficult for me to stop flicks and track afterwards. you might be able to tell that my flicks are kinda slow and there's nothing super wide angle bc i just end up way too tense and bouncy on 30-35cm. this is coming from somebody who mained a target switching game on The Beast too; this pad feels quite a bit faster and more slippery. but somebody who uses higher sens and has better mouse/nerves control than me might be able to make it work. when i was locked in, it actually felt like i could not miss in 1v1s bc it allows for an absurd amount of smoothness and control over fine motions. i agree with tekkusai's decision to make something a bit more balanced though. this pad is happy accident that probably is somebody's endgame, but the average player would definitely be aiming worse with this than any other pad haha

Two things I'm hoping they fix in #NBA2K27. 1) Invisible barriers You can see how I stun LaMelo with the jab, but when I try to blow by I hit a barrier and LaMelo ends up back in guarding position. Kind of defeats the purpose of the jab game. Probably could play through that ride animation and still have an advantage, but the barriers make things feel unnatural at times. 2) These canned defensive animations that grant way too much mercy to trailing defenders. Been talking about this for years. You'll have a guy beat on a drive, initiate a dunk or layup, and then 2K will just unnaturally force you into an animation that kills your forward momentum and makes you do some floater or layup to allow a stop from the trailing defender. You can't rationalize it...because it isn't a bad take (even though 2K will say it is after the fact) so why is an advantage I created being taken out of my control? Sometime they'll even just let the AI zoom to you and foul you so you don't get a layup. It just doesn't feel natural and that's my problem with it. There are even times on fast breaks where you get a steal, and you're trying to run out...but there's a dude who's literally behind you holding you in a ride animation preventing you from picking up speed. Just too much mercy for beat defenders in my opinion. Should you be forced into bad animations after beating a defender and attempting to score? I just don't know if that makes sense. It makes it look like you did something wrong, but it's really out of your control. #NBA2K26

"My definition of failure became not about the outcome, but about not trying." A few years ago on a podcast with Tony Robbins, Sara Blakely told the story of her father's nightly routine. As his children returned from school, he would ask Sara & her brother one question: "So what did you guys fail at this week?" As Sara tells it, her father would be disappointed not if they failed, but if they didn't. For her, "it flipped the whole model on its head." Her father was changing her definition of failure. Instead of a negative, failure "became not about the outcome, but about not trying." Another thing her father did (which I love) is ask his children "what benefit or what positive" came from their failures. In Blakely's words, this "trained our brains also to find thatโ€“โ€“and then it became, of course, I want to try these things." In short, the focus shifted from the outcome to what she could learn through the process. My thoughts: When I was younger I would always hear people say "to enjoy the process" but to be honest, it never really resonated until later on in life. As you age you begin to realize that the outcome, while still important, often turns out to be different than what you expected it would be. Maturity is knowing this at the outset. Things will change, pieces will break, and the path will be far from straight. Appreciating the experiences, relationships, and errors along the way is where real growth occurs. Each of these shapes the person you become. The Stoic philosopher Seneca once said: "A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials." To avoid failure is to avoid progress. Change your definition of failure. Flip the model on its head. Thanks for reading. If you enjoyed this, follow me: Blake Burge for more.
