Orbital rockets are a hard problem

A longer clip. I'm always for diversity and pluralism of intelligence. The first principle is about the importance of pluralism and diversity. Logically, Musk hints that intelligence that seeks truth will also value diversity. The logic is inescapable. https://t.co/RngeApH8jk

I do not understand sentences like "we use machine learning to..." in papers. Did we ever write "we use statistics to..." or "we use mathematics to..."? Unnecessary, or not specific enough.

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. pic.twitter.com/xQF0UM1ySg
Now that I think about it, there's another and perhaps more important reason journalists like the adversarial approach: it's a way to compensate for their lack of domain knowledge. If they can't think of anything interesting to ask, they prod you with a stick.

.@SecBlinken shared the powerful story of his stepfather’s survival during the Holocaust. On Yom HaShoah, we remember the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. #WeRemember

If you've never made money working for yourself, don't build some big plan on how to make $500,000.
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) April 18, 2023
Instead, ask yourself, "what would I do if I needed to make $100 online in the next 24 hours?"
You probably know what you would do.
So go do that thing.
In the fairly near future, internal combustion engine vehicles will be viewed in the same way that we view external combustion engine vehicles (steam engines)!

Context: The AI stack has 4 layers. From bottom to top, infrastructure (eg Nvidia), foundational models (eg GPT), AI tooling (eg Hugging Face) and Apps (eg Harvey for legal). There are many sub-buckets within each layer, but for the purposes of the post below, I’m…

Ali told me he was TOTALLY ALONE in LA. Had no family or friends here. Lived in a tiny house with 4 roommates who mostly speak Spanish. (He doesn’t.) He had a phone, but no computer, no car, no money, few clothes besides what was on his back. Ate eggs for every meal.

He was actually a celebrity in Afghanistan, the violinist for the on-screen backup band for their version of American Idol, Afghan Star. It was the number one show in the country. He did it for 5 seasons.

When it came time to escape, he was worried about getting stopped and searched at Taliban checkpoints so he left his violin behind.
— Latif Nasser (@latifnasser) April 16, 2023
Took him a year or so to get to the US. He barely played violin that whole time.

We have managed to get him a few things: an immigration lawyer he can call, a laptop, some clothes, a few rounds of groceries, a few decent meals. He was here for his birthday. We watched him try a s’more for the first time. (He loved it, duh.) pic.twitter.com/nZZfXPzlhG
— Latif Nasser (@latifnasser) April 16, 2023
In that time, he has done SO MUCH MORE by himself. Got a green card, a driver’s license, a bank account, a car. Got a more stable job at a big downtown hotel, @thebonaventure, as a food expediter, preparing room service trays. His bosses & coworkers treat him with dignity. pic.twitter.com/xo2vY4gVKh

That said, now he’s in a tricky spot.
— Latif Nasser (@latifnasser) April 16, 2023
On one hand, he is grateful for his job and sends every extra penny to his family in Kabul.
On the other, he still yearns to study @JulliardSchool or @BerkleeCollege or @NECMusic, to be the next @Yanni or @PerlmanOfficial or @Yoyo_Ma
We even found a matching donor, who pledged to donate dollar for dollar for the first $5,000 we raise. So chip in if you can!

And to bring things full circle. I’ll end with a video of Ali in my house playing the violin that Jeremy gave him!
Whew. END OF THREAD pic.twitter.com/wuo1W135kc
UPDATE: Wow. Ali and I are gobsmacked. In one day, we blasted past our goal of money for his violin lessons. So we decided to up the goal to what he really wants: music school tuition money. Chip in if you can/want. Regardless, your gifts, your words, your love is life-affirming. pic.twitter.com/Kus7alHZ7N
