Just going to leave this hereโฆ
Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan could make billions on its early investment in SpaceX.
The Toronto-based pension plan first invested in Elon Musk's company in June, 2019. It was part of a funding round that raised US$314-million for Space Exploration Technologies Corp., at a time when its Starlink internet service was just starting to launch satellites and a boom in AI was still years away.
Seven years later, the pension fund is sitting on a potential windfall of as much as US$11-billion from its initial investment of about $300-million as SpaceX prepares to go public next week.

Got to give credit where credit is due. Will also continue to look better & better as LLM / AI continues to be commoditized.

Apple really nailed AI by doing fucking nothing lol.
$135 billion in the bank. stole googleโs model for a measly $ 1B, now forcing competitors to plug their models into siri if they want access to 2.5B apple users
patience (or laziness) paid off massively

I am still a fan of shortening the season instead (playing with game length has merit). If the season was 60 games every game would have more meaningโฆfollowing the NFL and having certain days of the week that are โNBA Nightsโ is also possible with fewer games.

The more I think about it and discuss it with @claudeai ๐คทโโ๏ธ, the more I believe this would increase parity as well.
Shorter games = more upsets

I will die on the hill that college basketball is a better product and I believe it is partly do to a shorter, more meaningful season.

Always fun to see our @adidas shoes made by @Carbon technology in the wild! This time the Adidas Climacool which is a specialized design for maximum breathability and moisture management, featuring 360-degree airflow through mesh uppers, ventilated midsoles, and outsoles. And according to the clerk โselling like hotcakes at a good price point of $160โโ3D printing has come of age!! In Chicago @Nordstrom on Michigan Ave. Bravo team!

But what they are not acknowledging is revenue is up YoY by $18M, the student pop has been declining, but hiring by the district is up, to the point of financial distress. So instead of doing what is hard and laying staff off they instead are impacting children by closing schools
Mar 11
โThe district says the closures are necessary, pointing to a 20% decline in enrollment since before the pandemic.โ
San Jose Unified committee has advanced a plan to close five schools as the district deals with a mounting budget crisis.

Just out: California's wealth tax proposal has a NEGATIVE $25B net present value. We project only ~$40B collected (vs. $100B claimed), with ~30% of the tax base already gone and lost income taxes wiping out gains. w/ Ben Jaros, @gregkkearney, John Doran & Matheus Cosso: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.โฆ

If I were a competing team, I would put a giant block of cheese out of bounds

I have just been informed that one of the teams competing in the AI Grand Prix is using a biological computer built with cultured mouse brain cells to control their drone.
At first look, this seems against the spirit of the software-only rules. On second thought, hell yeah.
