If you are not supposed to read the code than don't commit the code either. Commit your prompts. You are not doing Open Source if you are pushing incomprehensible slop. It's the same as pushing binaries and saying you are doing Open Source because they are GPL or something.

Novak Djokovic: “My kids don't have phones and won’t until they’re mature enough. They complain everyone at school has a phone except them. When everyone follows the herd, conformity is expected but it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s where we differ.” https://t.co/DJSNKXdSfV

The @ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary is hilarious, just like their twitter account stuffing Elon in a locker

When toddlers get iPads, does it change brain development? A longitudinal study from Singapore says yes and shows links: accelerating visual and cognitive control networks early predicts later effects on decision making, and later increases in anxiety:

The drug failed its phase 2 trials – until Vivek’s own mother, Geetha Ramaswamy, conducted a phase 2 trial that somehow, magically, showed massive improvements. It entered phase 3, Vivek got rich, and then the drug failed and the company lost 99% of its value.
Mehdi Hassan absolutely cooked Vivek Ramaswamy. Built his fortune hyping an Alzheimer’s drug that had already failed trials. Talked it up on CNBC and Forbes. IPO’d. Then the drug failed again. Company lost 75% in a single day. Teachers’ pensions and ordinary investors got wiped

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over." Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp!

There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

Let's put it like this: ergodicity economics is a third way. Neither expected-utility theory (because EE is skeptical of "expected" anything); nor the common critiques of EUT (because we don't explain things away as human irrationality). A way out of the 20th-century impasse.

@BBCNews The BBC really has become the PR unit for the stupidity of UK Gov decision making. Do you not see how stupid this makes you look too?

Great piece by Mike Green (@profplum99) on poverty: https://t.co/awRRFN1yRD It reminds me of our work on redistribution: if you fit models where negative redistribution is possible, you see poverty traps. https://t.co/V2LoPKsEFY Question for Mike: who got so upset? And why?

Does anyone think Netflix won’t do what Trump wants to get their deal through? The threat to democracy isn’t the Ellison’s, it’s media consolidation.
I want to thank the leadership of Warner Brothers for not handing HBO - that has produced some of the greatest dramas of the last 25 years - over to the Ellisons.

@michaeljburry Mr. Burry, Your point on Baidu’s repeated useful-life extensions and the massive Q3 impairment is sharp and rightly draws attention. However, a few technical realities blunt the bear case. Under ASC 360, changes in estimated useful lives are not discretionary accounting tricks;

Rep. Massie just dropped the clearest warning yet: “Trump can protect you today, but by 2030 he’ll be gone and your vote to shield pedophiles will still be on the record.” Republicans aren’t choosing Trump anymore. They’re choosing whether they want their names etched in
