You can beat 99% of people if you can work without validation, act without permission, and lose without quitting.

I’ve felt kid-like excitement all week. That low-hum vibration, the tickle in the body, the thrilling anticipation. What you feel right before your first kiss. I don’t recall feeling this for a very long time. Maybe 15-20 years or more? Everything is more interesting and fun.…

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

Really like this thread in general but very skeptical about AGI companies ability to ship fast long-term (unless they actually reach AGI). Especially as they grow - those dynamics remain unchanged. Seen so many broken/inconsistent things in UI & the MacOS apps for…

Great, this is blowing up so I will offer some additional follow-up: This is NOT your typical prediction of "the incumbents are agile" or the old "what if Google clones your startup" midwit investor question. The entire novelty of this thesis is that unlike in the past,…

If the UK manages to do this for just two things, the price of land & the price of energy, our country would be unimaginably better.

When people are suffering because the cost of living is too high, and you (as a policymaker) intend to spend public money to fix this, there are two main routes: - subsidize demand, or - subsidize supply Subsidizing demand is "give people money to pay for the expensive thing."…

Greedy is when you want to keep the stuff you earn. Not greedy is apparently someone demanding that you give it to them.

My, you are a greedy little beggar. You probably have more than one car, one being a monster size. And you expect to not pay tax on them. Who do you suggest pays to maintain roads? The poorer who have to use public transport? Some people just leave a nasty taste.

O'Neill cylinders are great not just because of this, but because they offer a viable path to a solar system teeming full of Network States, a level of freedom & choice humanity has never reached before.

We could multiply the human population by 1000 and still barely touch the carrying capacity of the solar system



Keir Starmer warns against a return to "austerity", and instead decides to tax the last person working in Britain to death. Here's a nice graph of Tory "austerity" btw

On duty police should meet certain physical requirements. It's not sexist, it's reality. Too many unfit male police on duty too, it's not hard guys.

It took a random man to take him down before the police jumped on him. Tells you everything you need to know.

Graphs consist of nodes connected by edges. In a special kind of graph called an expander, each node has relatively few edges, but the graph is still highly connected. This prospect makes expanders useful in all sorts of applications. quantamagazine.org/new-proof-sett…

The government's Renters' Rights Bill looks like it will be a catastrophe, inadvertently introducing rent controls and reducing the supply of housing even more. It is the clearest evidence that the whole British state that has brought it about is completely broken: • Written…
