In 161 AD, a 39-year-old man became the most powerful person on Earth. He commanded 30 legions. Ruled 75 million people. Half the known world bowed to him. Then his children started dying. He buried 8 of them. Five sons. Three daughters. A plague swept his empire. 10 million died. His most trusted general tried to overthrow him. He wept. Not from anger. From sadness that he never got to forgive him. He spent 12 years in a war tent at the frontier. Every night, he wrote in a private journal. Just for himself. 1,900 years later, that journal became the most read book in stoicism. His name was Marcus Aurelius. I turned his philosophy into 12 prompts. Here are all 12:

BREAKING: MIT just mass released their Al library for free. (Links included) I went through these and honestly... this is better than most paid courses I've seen.

Visual explanations included. 3. Machine Learning Systems Production-ready architecture. System design principles. Advanced Techniques 4. Algorithms for ML Computational thinking simplified. Decision-making frameworks. 5. Deep Learning The definitive textbook. Covers everything deeply. Reinforcement Learning 6. RL Basics (Sutton & Barto) The classic. Agent training fundamentals. 7. Distributional RL Beyond expected rewards. Advanced theory. 8. Multi-Agent Systems Agents working together. Coordination and competition. 9. Long Game Al Strategic agent design. Future-focused thinking. Ethics & Probability 10. Fairness in ML Bias detection. Responsible Al practices. 11. Probabilistic ML (Part 1 & 2) Links: lnkd.in/gkuXuexa Most people pay thousands for bootcamps that teach half of this. Bookmark it. Start anywhere. Just start.

A crossover between Chekhov's Gun, Schrödinger's Cat, Occam's Razor, and Murphy's law.

MSc in Finance here, I think this is a great source to better understand how log graphs work. @Giovann35084111 youtube.com/watch?v=WU1m2QQr…

Bitcoin ETFs are best for your IRAs. Otherwise stack!

Funny how this FT piece tries to scare its mostly male & systematizing readers about TESCREAL (transhumanism, extropianism, singularitarianism, cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism & longtermism) but most will come away thinking "hm, seems reasonable" ft.com/content/edc30352-05fb…

If you haven't read @BitcoinPierre's classic, do it now. Or print it. It's a must. "Speculative Attack", published on July 4, 2014: nakamotoinstitute.org/mempoo…

Periodic reminder: You can download free digital copies of The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard from Library Genesis. I don't believe intellectual property can be stolen, and I think piracy is the best marketing! libgen.rs/search.php?req=Sai…

Best #bitcoin papers everyone should read. 1. The Bitcoin Whitepaper What started it all. Satoshi Nakamoto once said, "I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper" [Read here: miami.gov/files/sharedassets…]

Unless the state or a handful of its key actors see some economic benefit from bitcoin, the risk of a state attack will always remain. @Excellion @TuurDemeester

Bitcoin is an experiment, some people like to say. But the Euro was only introduced a little over 20 years ago and the non-gold-backed dollar was introduced roughly 50 years ago. Modern major fiat currencies are also recent experiments. Only time will tell what’s meant to last.

RT if you trust #Bitcoin more than central banks.
