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.

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."

Sheen: I was watching Kash Patel—that is astonishing to me. There is no possible way that any of these people at the head of any of the agencies that we have right now would ever make it in any other administration.. And when they look at each other, they don't see anyone on the other side that is better than they are, is more heroic, has more courage. They in a real sense, I suspect they despise each other because there isn't anyone on the other side that is better than they are, and they are looking at the worst reflection of themselves

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."

🚨 MIC DROP: Scott Jennings perfectly dismantles the Democrat attacks against President Trump for opposing the hyperfocus on how "EVIL" America is at our museums like the Smithsonian. "My belief is that he wants to look at these museums not because he wants to do away with the idea that slavery occurred, but that he wants to ask a very simple question: Are we going to present ourselves as being exceptional or not?" "I think what he's asking is in our museums, what defines us? Are we going to be defined by the worst moment or the worst institution or the worst mistake we ever made? Or are we going to be defined by what we've done moving forward to get over it and to become the greatest nation on the earth?" "He believes there is an effort by some to continue to try to define us from our worst moment instead of trying to focus and define us based on our best moments, which started when we eradicated slavery and began to move forward as the light of the world." "As we present our history, are we spending most of our time focused on something terrible? Are we gonna spend more time as we enter our 250th anniversary focused on what this country has done to improve the lives of every single person who lives here?"

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

But as you know, in any trade negotiations, even if there is one sticking point or issue on the mind of even one of the partners, the trade deal may not meet that deadline. The overall position is well set to deliver it in the next few weeks or months as soon as we can. But let's see, it's a call that will have to be taken at multiple levels. At the levels of negotiator, I think we are in a zone where we can say it is something that we can achieve in a very short while of time. There's not much to negotiate...As a country, we have always stood for our own sensitivities and our own uniqueness. So there are areas which are non-negotiable from our perspective..."

.Naval: Every human is a lottery ticket bet on the future of the species. One of the things that you really learn when you read David Deutsch’s theories and you authenticate them for yourself is you realize humans are universal explainers. That means everything that we know in the universe follows the laws of physics, and there’s no reason to believe otherwise. If you think otherwise, then please present your better theory that explains the world. If you can’t do that, then you have to go with the laws of physics. Well, the laws of physics are completely computable. They can fit inside a Turing machine or computer, and a computer can simulate the laws of physics with arbitrary accuracy, limited only by the specific power of that computer. If you increase the power of that computer, you can simulate them more accurately. So humans already simulate—in our minds we simulate—and through our computers we simulate the weather, we simulate quasars, we even simulate human systems. We simulate the economy. We simulate all kinds of things. So anything that can be understood, we can understand in our minds. This is something the AGI people get wrong when they talk about superintelligence. There is nothing out there that can understand something fundamentally that we can’t understand. It might be faster at it, it might have more compute, it might have more memory, but there’s no concept that it can understand that we can’t ourselves understand. So we are maximal universal explainers. That means every human is capable of unbounded creativity. Anyone could be the next Einstein or Fermi or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Jonas Salk or whatever. So we can create anything. And if we can create anything, every human is a lottery ticket bet on the future of the species.
