John Carmack on the importance hard work: “For decades, I worked 60 hours a week” “I was never one of the programmers who would do all-nighters or work for 20 hours straight,” programming legend John Carmack begins when asked about his work routine. “My brain generally starts turning to mush after 12 hours or so. But hard work is really important, and for decades I would work 60 hours a week. I would work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.” He continues: “I had a little thing in the back of my head where I was almost jealous of some of the programmers who would do these marathon sessions. Like Dave Taylor, one of the guys we had at id Software, would be one of those people who would fall asleep under his desk sometimes and all the classic hacker tropes about these things. Part of me was always a little bothered that wasn’t me. I wouldn’t program 20 hours straight because I’m falling apart and not being very effective after 12 hours . . . There are people who can work on 4 hours of sleep and continue to do good work, but there’s a lot of people who just fall apart. I always try to get 8 hours of sleep . . . you can work 100 hours a week and still get 8 hours of sleep if you prioritize things correctly. But I do believe in working hard.” John disagrees with the backlash against hard work and voices support for game developer’s comment that “40 hours a week is kind of a part-time job.” “If you’re doing what you think is important work that you’re passionate about, working more gets more done. It’s really not possible to argue with that if you’ve been around the people who work with that level of intensity.” He believes people who argue that you’re less productive if you work more than 40 hours a week are misinterpreting things: “Your marginal productivity for an hour after eight hours is less than one of your peak hours, but you’re not literally getting less done. There’s a point where you start breaking things and literally going backwards, but it’s not 8-12 hours.” John illustrates this point with a fictional example: “Imagine there’s an asteroid that’s going to crash into Earth and destroy all human life. Do you want Elon Musk and the people working at SpaceX building the interceptor that’s going to deflect the asteroid clocking out at 5pm because they’re going to do worse work if they work another couple hours? It seems absurd . . . It’s the truth: working longer gets more done.” Video source: Lex Fridman (Aug 2022)

Ross Coulthart has heard stories about 2027, 2034, catastrophes, and “arrivals” but says they’re just stories you can’t corroborate, He does think the NHI is showing itself to people and prodding our awareness of it and that the drones are part but not all of it. (Speculation) Source -Disclosure Team 🔗 in comments Full quotes for context 👇🏼 Ross -“I don't know. Simply, I don't know. I've heard 2027, I've heard 2034. I hear stories of catastrophes, I hear stories of arrivals. They're just stories. I mean, how do you corroborate things like that? I mean, that's the problem I have with, for example, things like abductions and mutilations, unless I'm there to see it. How, how do you prove this stuff? So if somebody says to me, as has been said to me that 2027 is gonna be a big year, and then later on I hear 2034 is gonna be a big year. Frankly, I, I don't know. I mean, I really have no idea. But yeah, I mean, there are, there are people who say that there are time limits. I certainly think this, I think the NHI, whatever it is, is prodding humanity's awareness of itself. And I think that the so-called drones are part of that, not all of it. But part of that, I think that what's happening is there is a deliberate engagement by the NHI with certain people, you know, they're, they're trying to prod human consciousness. And I find it really interesting, the number of people I meet who have suddenly developed an interest in the phenomenon after they've had one or two weird anomalous encounters. It's like what's happening is the NHI is showing itself to people.” “it may be wrong, you know, and I hasten to add, it's just speculation on my part,”

Hirokazu Koreeda on how he directs Children: "Interviewer: I think 'Shoplifters' (2018) is very remarkable in showing different sides of a city and like you said, people who are pretty much invisible, but I do want to also commend you on another thing, is you often work with young actors, and they always tend to have a significant role in many of your films. How do you go about finding such dynamic young actors, and why do you often put these young people at the center of each one of your stories? Koreeda: First of all, I would say that I tend to make what I would call family dramas, and of course, you have to have children if you’re creating a family, but that’s how it started, but I found that as I did it, I became really interested. It became very interesting and fun to work with these children, and for example, the two children in this film, neither of them had any acting experience at all before this film. I brought them in, and what I find when you bring these children in, and you work with them is that the adult actors change. They become much more lively and natural in the way that they act, and I guess, at some point, I realized this, and I guess, became really attracted to the idea of having children and the impact that it had. Interviewer: Do you find that there is any struggle in terms of working with young actors, or in this case, young children who have not actually acted before? Koreeda: Just to clarify, I have worked with children in many of my films, and all of them have never had experienced before. I always go out and pick non-acting children to work in my films, so just, I wanted to put that out there. In terms of the struggle, it does take time. You have to give extra time to work with these children. When I choose these children, I have an audition, and I pick out who I want to the audition, and then when we get to set, I never give them the script. No child that I’ve worked with has been given a script beforehand, and when I get to the actual part where they’re going to be acting, I give them the lines myself, and work with them and coach them. What I find is that it’s actually really enjoyable, both for them and for myself that way. I also, because I’ve been doing this now for several years, I tend to have a fairly high success rate in choosing children that are able to work with me in that way. Interviewer: That’s fascinating, and it also shows how you are able to create such authentic performances from these child actors over and over again in so many of your films. I think it’s a unique gift that you have, and it’s something that very few directors, I think, here in the United States do. Koreeda: It’s true, I guess by working with these children, I learned. I discovered that the best way to do it was just to communicate verbally their lines, rather than giving them in a written format, and over time, this really worked, and so I just kept doing it. But, interestingly, I loved the movie 'Kramer vs Kramer' (1979), directed by Robert Benton, and one time I bought the movie with all the extra, the making of and everything, and I went over it, and I found through that, that in fact, the child in that movie was also given his lines every day by the assistant director each morning when they came in to set, so I discovered that it wasn’t just me that was doing this." (Koreeda's interview with Scott Menzel, We Live Entertainment, 2018)

Jackson Wang - Ending Ment #GOT7_NESTFEST_Day2 "Hello, this is Jackson. They (members before him) talked for some time. Today is the second day and I said everything I wanted to say yesterday, still, I'll say it again. (...) In this world... I've gone through a lot. I've debuted as GOT7 and also did solo activities. But in reality… To be honest, I've met a lot of people and worked with a lot of people too. It was very dynamic. Also I've met a lot of baby dogs (not positive). But babies don't think of themselves as babies. Just like bad people don't think of themselves as bad. That is life. That is reality. I'm sure you agree in many ways. After meeting many people, these 6 people are really the purest people I have met in my life. For example, even if I get close with other artists. I’m confused if I’m close to them or their fans or their team. I wonder about those things. But as I’m carrying on with my life, when I’m reflecting back on myself. We’ve all grown up together with each other from when we had nothing, from day one. There is no one like these people. I really wanted to tell you guys this. Likewise, you all have your own lives and I don’t wish for anything big. I don’t want to say things like “don’t leave us,” but just want to say that in your daily lives I wish that we can give you guys happiness. That means the most to us. We may all be in different companies but we will get together every now and then, and make you all happy. This is all I want to say to our fans. Ya, we just want to say, we seven, and as individuals- I started off everything in Korea. Thank you so much for allowing me to debut and allowing me to put out albums. 🙏 This has been Jackson.” #GOT7_NESTFEST #GOT7

My first book publishes today. It has nothing to do with hardcore finance or bitcoin, but everything to do with self-improvement, constant learning, and living the life you want. The book, which is titled How To Live An Extraordinary Life, is a compilation of 65 letters to my children on various life lessons I have picked up over the years. I never had an intention to write a book, but as I started writing these letters in private it struck me that many other people could benefit from these insights. The beauty of the book is that each letter is the product of a mistake I made, a piece of advice someone gave to me, or an experience I lived through over the years. You will learn lessons about money, investing, work, relationships, health, and happiness. None of the ideas are my own — I had to live my life and rely on people much smarter than me to teach me all of this information. Each letter in the book is structured to share the lesson, explain how I learned it, and then give actionable advice on how to implement it in your own life. My goal is to share the information with my children and some of you. These are timeless lessons that have been passed down to me, so their survival over time signals their accuracy and value. As you all know, I hate asking people for a favor. But the publisher has told me that sales in the first week really matter for the long-term popularity of the book. With that understanding, if I have ever helped you in any way (taught you something, given you an idea, made you think more critically, etc), then please consider buying the book today. BUY NOW:

ROSALÍA speaking to the public in Barcelona in Catalan, visibly emotional and on the verge of tears by the end of speech: "Good night everyone! How are you today? I'm delighted to see you. I have to admit that... I'm usually a little nervous, you know? Before I perform I get a little dumb or dizzy, right? And I can't stop, but today I think my heart was going to me, but for a very specific reason. And because I'm singing in my city. I suppose there are artists and artists, like people and people, from his mother and father. And I remember that once I met Peret, an amazing artist, the father of rumba, and we were both going to sing that same night, I remember, here in Barcelona, and I went in with girls, he saw me, I mean, he was like there in a corner like that watching, and he saw that I was nervous, and he said to me, but why are you getting nervous? I said to myself, I have never been so nervous in my entire career and there I understood that he loved his city and celebrated it so much that with that invasion with that joy that invaded it he had no energy left to get nervous for anything and who knows if one day I will reach that level of calm, without resistance, but one thing you can be sure Barcelona is that I love you madly and you don't know how much I wanted to come back here. And probably as a singer, in front of your city or for your city is the most intense experience, I think, or most rewarding that you can live. But sometimes also the one that imposes itself on you the most, maybe. And I think that... I think it hits you in a way because it is the place that has seen you grow and that has seen you start from the bottom and run away on a path, you know? It is the place that confronts who you were and who you are now, you know? And what you have become. And the place where I believe you cannot escape yourself and you cannot be anyone but yourself. And that is precisely why this stage is not just any stage, you know? Tonight is not just any night. So thank you Barcelona, I love you so much. Thank you for supporting me." Source: 3CatInfo

#SAKURA ment (ending) 🌸 “thank you for coming to our first’s world tour show. it’s always been nervous for the first time, a little bit like anxious but i’m so happy to share this moment together with FEARNOT we have been debuted for about 3 years. there were a lot of stories and recently i just had meals together with the members. thinking about the old times, i was like, how can we went through all of this? i think it’s very unbelievable and amazing to see it become a story that we can laugh later on it’s always fascinated me, that, whenever five us together, we can do it. of course, it’s not only five of us, there are also many people next to us who cares and work hard together with us. therefore, because of all of them, we can do our best on stage. thank you very much also, i am a very introverted (I) and rarely come outside. i think i am not a very positive person and if i was by myself, i think i’m gonna give up. but to have my members next to me and FEARNOT who support me wherever they are, i think i can went through it all, no matter what in the future, i would like to be someone that can give energy and spirit to FEARNOT honestly, after i walked off the stage, i am also a human, just like FEARNOT. there were times i feel bad and not working out well, i feel like that life is very tough, but together with LE SSERAFIM members, FEARNOT and team LE SSERAFIM staffs, i can went through it all easily day by day so, i thought that “i have to do better the next day”. thank you always and i love you all ❤️ rough translation by kkurasier —— may have inaccuracies #사쿠라 #宮脇咲良 #LE_SSERAFIM #르세라핌

Tucker Carlson: Remembering Charlie Kirk - A Life of Faith and Courage "Quickly about Charlie, I've known him since he was a teenager, and just an amazing person, but the two things that stick out, he's a Christian man. We talked about that a lot, including, you know, just the other day. There's a lot of pressure on public people, people who run huge, you know, hundred million dollar a year non-profits, and there are a lot of pitfalls and traps." "That's why so many of them are destroyed, and Charlie really did, without, you know, betraying details, like he walked the line for real. It was the topic of many conversations between us, because I've seen so many people destroyed. You know, most people are destroyed by power, and he wasn't, and I just really admire that." "I mean, to his last moments, you know, in order, he cared about God, his wife, and his children, and then his country. So, and that was totally real, completely real. I can affirm that, because I just talked to him about it so much, and I admire that, and he's a model, really." "I mean, he didn't have hate in his heart, and it was funny, and again, it's one of the reasons I couldn't stop looking at these videos last night. People were describing the opposite of what he was. He was filled with hate." "No, and if you talked to him about people who had attacked him, or who were truly his enemies, up to, and I think including the people who assassinated him yesterday, he would never, ever express hate, ever. He would always turn to, no, this person has been led astray. This person is clearly possessed by dark forces." "This person is a perpetrator, but also a victim of evil. I mean, that really was his worldview. That's the Christian worldview, and he expressed that in public, and especially in private, and I think that faith, which was completely real, not the fake faith that you see on display so often, but a real one, that was the root of his courage, and he had real courage." "He loved being with people who disagreed with him, not theoretically with them, but physically with them, you know, like close enough to smell. He would wait right in the middle of everything. I mean, I could tell you a million stories that I saw, but that was absolutely real." "Like, he loved people, even people who hated him, and people he loved, he was the rare person who was willing to tell them what he thought was true. I mean, he really believed, as a political matter, by the way, that, you know, I don't think he had animus toward anybody in no other country, but he really believed in his own country, and the obligation of his government to stand behind his country. He was truly America first in the nicest, most decent, non-ideological, but sincere way." "He was one of the only people, I mean, truly one of the only people to go to the president, whom he loved. He loved Donald Trump, like, personally as well, and I think the president really loved him in a real way, but he was one of the only people to go to the Oval Office and say, sir, I totally understand, and think Iran's really bad, but a war with Iran is not, you know, is something that could really hurt our country. I mean, boy, that was an unpopular position." "He didn't need to express it. Oh, of course, and he did it again. He didn't have some weird agenda. He wasn't mad at anybody. He was for his country, and he was for doing the right and wise and difficult thing, and he said that. He went to the Oval Office to say that." "He took massive, massive abuse from his own donors, which is also something that you don't see. He was one of the very few people, very few people I have met who combined a, like, a love for everyone involved with strong views. So, again, he was not animated by anything creepy or weird." "I mean, you knew him intimately, so you know this is true. If you talked to him off camera, he would say, you know, I really, like, I love whoever I'm talking about, but I think this is wrong. It's immoral." "It's bad for everybody involved, both sides, and he would say that, and he could say that because it was sincere. It was completely sincere, but I cannot overstate the amount of attacks he took privately over this, like, absolutely for real, and having lived in Washington most of my life and seen people run non-profits, I've never met one who was willing, stand up is too strong. He wasn't confrontational, but he would just say, no, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I think this is the right thing." "The people we represent, which is mostly young people, they believe this, and I believe it also. It was brave, but loving at the same time, and I'm not sure he made a lot of headway, by the way. I mean, I think he made real enemies in doing that, but his view didn't change." "Anyway, he's just a wonderfully decent, loving man. That is true."

Alexandr Wang: “Hire people who give a shit” The ScaleAI founder is asked for the best advice he has for founders, to which he responds: “The biggest thing is you have to really, really care.” Alex explains this is also the number one trait he looks for in people he hires: “When you interview and interact with people, you can tell who phones it in and whose work is so incredibly important to them that it eats at them if they don’t do great work. One of the greatest indicators of how much I enjoyed working with people and how successful they were at Scale was just the degree to which their soul is invested in the work they do.” It’s important that the CEO lives this principle too. “I still review every hire at the company,” Alex says. “I care immensely. I work with all these people who care immensely. And that lets us feel much more deeply what happens in the business, so we learn more quickly and adapt more quickly, and I think that’s been quite important to the success that we’ve had.” One of Scale AI’s values is that “quality is fractal.” “High standards trickle down within an organization,” Alex explains. “Most of the time when people realize their manager or their manager’s manager doesn’t really care, that removes the desire for them to care. So it’s incredibly important that high standards and care for quality is a deeply embedded tenet of the entire organization.” Video source: Y Combinator (2025)
