We show that best-of-N (BoN) is a much better baseline for diffusion test-time scaling when done right. Our core premise is that NFEs provide a false sense of efficiency by ignoring several underlying factors, such as verifier costs. We then introduce Flash-BoN, which encourages broader exploration of samples than... repeated intermediate validation. Overall, our findings are simple: 1. Report NFEs AND wallclock time (so that the algorithms that verify more frequently are validated appropriately) 2. Spend (test-time) compute on exploring more rather than frequent intermediate validations When we combined the two, we see that BoN either outperforms or is on par with other fancier techniques.

Fasting is far more than simply abstaining from food; it is a profound act of training for the soul. By denying our bodies simple pleasures or extra portions, we actively learn that we can say "no" to our physical urges, even when we are hungry. This practice builds a specific kind of willpower—always supported by the Grace of God—that proves invaluable when we face stronger challenges, such as the struggle with lust.

.Under Secretary of War Michael Duffey "We would always like to have more weapons than we have right now, which is why we are so focused on engaging with our industrial partners, entering these deals, and ensuring that we ramp the production of these key missiles as quickly as possible. We are making up for lost time. The Biden Administration DID NOT DELIVER—they did NOT focus on developing the industrial base that we need in order to ensure that we have munitions for the foreseeable future. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are delivering."

HASSETT: "Our estimates are based on modeling that we used last time, when I was Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers ... we run the same models through this tax bill, it's even BETTER ... if you get 3% growth again, then that's more than $4T more in revenue than the CBO and these other bodies are giving us credit for."

AOC: And it is a time such as this in which demanding what should be considered the most basic tenets of human dignity is considered a radical and outlandish act. It is a time as today when demanding affordable housing is considered a radical and outlandish act, that being able to afford our lives, our groceries, our transit, is considered an outlandish and radical act. That we accept our neighbor as ourselves — a radical and outlandish act. But we must remember, in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the outlandish, New York City. To demand affordable and decent housing, a decent wage, the right to health care, that we pay to care for our people instead of the flattening of Palestinians and oppressed people abroad is not a radical act — it is basic and core humanity.

Sanders: But there is another vision out there as well—a darker vision. It is a vision which says that we must give up on democracy, that we are too stupid and inept to govern ourselves, and that we must put more and more power into the hands of one man. It is a vision that says we should accept an economy in which a handful of oligarchs have unbelievable wealth while the vast majority of our people struggle to put food on the table. It is a vision that says the only thing that matters in life is the accumulation of money and power—and that it is OK if we lie, cheat, and steal to achieve those goals. It is a vision which says that we must hate each other because of where we were born, hate each other because of a different language someone speaks, hate each other because of differences in the color of our skin, or our religion, or our sexual orientation. It is a vision that foments hatred, division, and more division. It is an Orwellian vision, which says that we must live in a constant state of fear—that we must always have an enemy and that we must always be at war. It is a vision which says that we have unlimited amounts of money for bombs and guns and killing, but never enough money to feed our children, provide affordable housing, or enable our parents to retire with dignity.

$“When you spend 5% of your annual Pentagon budget on supporting Ukraine, destroying 50% of Russian military equipment, then that’s a good investment.” This is exactly what I tell all them time. We have yet a good chance to destroy the Russian war machine with a fraction of what is needed later on. There is no way that Putin will ever stop unless when being defeated and destroyed on the battlefield. When we do it now then we even save our own cities and people. Ukraine is more than willing to destroy the invaders and we should be thankful to the people of Ukraine for that. Just do it!$

“An empire is a country that controls other countries, and we are one. The United States has more control in the world than any other country. We spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined, including China and Russia. We have around 740 military bases around the world and there are only 198 recognized countries by the UN. One of our biggest enemies right now is Iran, and they have basically zero foreign bases while we have hundreds.” Michael T. Lester

Putin's message to generations that will live in hundreds of years: "We, who lived in Russia in the endless stream of time in the 20th and 21st centuries, gratefully perceived everything that was done by our predecessors, our ancestors. We lived like everyone else, everywhere and always with our current concerns, but we did not stand still. We moved forward, we worked, fought, and tried our best to solve the problems that our time presented to us. We thought about the future, we thought about you. And if our message is now in your hands — it means that you too feel part of our common, endless stream of time. It means that you too feel and understand the connection of times. This is very important. Congratulations on this. It means that we too, when we worked, fought, and thought about you, did not live in vain. And we achieved a lot. We wish that luck will always be with you. And that you will be happy. That your children, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be proud of you, just as we are proud of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers in our time."

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: 'We are even more prepared than in the previous war. You know, our missiles are in a better position quantity-wise and quality-wise. We have learned many lessons during the 12-day war. We understood our weak points and our points of strength and Israel's weak points - we have worked on all of that, and we are fully prepared. It doesn't mean that we want war. As you know, the best way to prevent a war is to be prepared for that.'

"We are not merely discussing a treaty; we are discussing the lifeline of more than 240 million people of Pakistan. When we identify ourselves as Pakistanis, we ask the question: who are we? If you go back into history, the Indus Valley Civilization defines us as people, whenever I go abroad, I often tell my counterparts that we are the people of the Indus Valley Civilization. Our identity is that we are people whose lives have been shaped on the banks of the mighty River Indus. As they say, water is life, and the Indus has given life to Pakistan. So, when we say that the Indus is our lifeline and that the 240 million people of Pakistan have an inalienable right to its waters, we mean it from the core of our hearts. For Pakistan, as I said, water is not simply a resource; it is a matter of life itself. This river system has, for thousands of years, nurtured one of the world's oldest civilizations. From the towering peaks of Pakistan to the fertile plains of Punjab and Sindh, these waters have connected our people across geography and history." #IndusWatersTreaty
