Look, you all know I'd love nothing more than a feature length film making fun of my brother.
Unfortunately based on the preview it looks like the only thing they got right is the walk 😂
there are 10x more interesting, 1000x more practical problems
The Navier-Stokes problem is interesting, but isn’t it kind of just academic? Because we know that in reality, fluids aren’t actually continuous, but are composed of discrete bodies (atoms or molecules). So yes while a singularity could arise in the math, it won’t in reality.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

when i come to SF i need a plug for drugs & guns
who's building this!?
I’m not surprised to see social media influencers coming forward to say they were offered money to push doomer messages about AI. These are well organized, well funded campaigns.

Thirty years ago, I wrote the original Windows Task Manager because I wanted it to look and work a certain way. Which is exactly how I've built TMOG.
I'm stoked to announce the immediate availability of Task Manager TMOG Beta3 for Mac, Windows & Linux.

I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.
An Alien Mind:
There’s a ton of “if you had invested $1,000 in 25 years ago, you’d have x today!”, but sometimes it’s interesting to look at the rest of them.
What if you had invested in one of the most exciting growth names a century ago?
In 1926, the major market themes were aviation, office/industrial automation and electrification. One of the best performing big board stocks over the next 3 years was Burroughs Adding Machines - a company that made, you guessed it, adding machines.
It rode the proliferation of office work to a +1,996% gain over the next 168 weeks.
And it still survives today. It acquired Sperry Rand in 1986 and the combined company was renamed Unisys, which trades today as UIS.
If you had invested $1,000 in Burroughs Adding Machines in 1926, the shares would have been worth ~$20,900 at the 1929 peak. And $2,800 today.
But Burroughs, like many companies a century ago, was an aggressive dividend payer. Assuming you reinvested dividends, you’d have around $35,000 today.
Seems decent, you outperformed the consumer price index by about 85%. But you’ve underperformed the index by a factor of 640 to 1.
That same $1,000 invested in the S&P500 (or similar large cap U.S. index, using Shiller/BLS data) would be worth $22.4 million today.
An investor in 1926 picks a defining technology winner of their generation, a company that manages to continue to exist for a century. But a century was long enough to go through disruption -> hypergrowth -> dominance -> maturity -> tech transition -> renewed relevance -> consolidation -> new disruption -> terminal decline.
I don’t know exactly what the point is here but I find it pretty interesting considering most of the historical stock selection focuses on companies that survived and thrived.

Good to see Astra full sending SoftBank. OpenAI will win. They’ve got 900 million DAUs. Ads are still early
Every UX they ship is god tier. Their videos are Apple esque. Jony Ive works for them. They make their own chips
Most importantly. Altman is a killer. Dario isn’t him

I don't think we've scratched the surface of what this model can do (and this is light reasoning btw)
This “living crystal” is a clump of rotating, jiggling starfish embryos in the lab of the biophysicist Nikta Fakhri. It embodies a state of matter known as an odd material that may have previously unknown biological functions.

astra this astra that. how about you get your astra the gym and find a girlfriend
why would you use a service that can FINE you arbitrarily. they use their own rule book and team to decide 😅😅😅
did you know Kalshi can FINE YOU? 😆😆😆😆😆
why would anyone trade on this
This is totally happening.
En route to SF. Meeting with any and all hustlers, gangsters, thugs, hoes, thots, investors, investees, traders, speculatoors, zoomers, doomers and boomers. DM open

Looks like someone has actually finally gone through to quantify how good Eliezer Yudkowsky's predictions are. The answer is: they're terrible.
I was offered money to scare you of AI. And I'm not the only one.
