Sepsis kills more people in American hospitals than heart attacks. 350,000 deaths a year, and the reason is brutally simple: the early warning signs are almost invisible. A slightly elevated heart rate. A small temperature shift. A lab value drifting in the wrong direction. Each one looks like noise on a busy ward. By the time the pattern is obvious to a human, the patient is hours into a cascade toward organ failure, and every hour of delayed antibiotics raises mortality. Tampa General built a system on Palantir's Foundry that watches roughly 1,000 inpatients continuously. Vitals, labs, medication records, clinician notes, all scanned in real time for the pattern no single nurse can see across 12 beds at 3am. When risk crosses a threshold, a rapid response team gets paged. Humans still make every treatment decision. The software just compresses detection from hours to minutes. The results since 2022: overall sepsis mortality cut in half, 48-hour deaths down 68%, length of stay down 30%, roughly 900 lives saved. At one hospital. Now run the national math. There are about 6,100 hospitals in the US. If even the 500 largest matched these numbers, you'd be looking at tens of thousands of lives a year from a single use case. The treatment for sepsis hasn't changed. Antibiotics and fluids, same as decades ago. The entire gain comes from starting them earlier. The hardest problem in medicine was never the cure. It was noticing in time.
JUST IN: Florida hospital reveals Palantir software has cut sepsis deaths by more than half since it was installed.

GPT-5.5 lies constantly, Grok 4.20 doesn’t. We made a simulation to see if AI lies when the stakes are life & death.🧵

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position. LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!

The Bolivian Revolution of 1952 handed us a perfect laboratory for socialism's destructive power. The Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario seized the tin mines that generated 80% of Bolivia's export revenue and systematically destroyd them over twelve years. Before nationalization, private mining companies like Patiño Mines employed 60,000 workers and produced 35,000 tons of tin annually. The MNR promised worker control and economic justice. Production collapsed to 16,000 tons by 1964 while employment bloated to 75,000. This is the predictable disaster that free market economists would have warned about. The newly created COMIBOL (Bolivian Mining Corporation) eliminated profit incentives overnight. Mine managers became political appointees who knew nothing about extraction. Workers received guaranteed wages regardless of output, so productivity plummeted 40% within three years. The state couldn't fire anyone (votes matter more than efficiency), so they kept hiring. Mines that once generated foreign currency became permanent fiscal drains requiring subsidies that consumed 30% of government revenue. You can observe the exact mechanism of destruction: remove private property rights, eliminate price signals, replace entrepreneurial decision-making with bureaucratic committees. The tin was still in the ground. The workers still had hands. But without market incentives coordinating production, the entire system collapsed into organized chaos. By 1964, Bolivia went from South America's largest tin producer to an international beggar importing food while sitting on mineral wealth. The MNR redistributed poverty with revolutionary efficiency.

“We’ve done the analysis, reusable rockets aren’t economic.” SpaceX makes reusable rockets economic. “We’ve done the analysis satellite internet isn’t economic. The antenna alone is tens of thousands of dollars. The cost to manage a constellation that size, the radiation, the space hardened solar cost…” Satellite internet appears to be a very good business with antennas in the $100 range. “We’ve done the analysis, orbital data centers aren’t economic. The radiators, launch costs, the radiation, the solar…” You are here.

Optimism is not the belief that everything will be fine, but the belief that problems are SOLVABLE, combined with the willingness to actually go solve them. That thesis has built every good thing we have.

Folllow the data, not the news. The data shows us extraordinary progress. The news is dystopian. If it bleeds, it leads.

WATCH: Sen. Cynthia Lummis just torched JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon: "Here's where Jamie Dimon is absolutely wrong" about the Clarity Act. "He either hasn't read the bill or he wants to mislead people, and let's put the best construction on this, he hasn't read the bill. AML, anti-money laundering provisions that apply to banks, and the Bank Secrecy Act provisions that apply to banks also apply to digital assets. It's in the bill."
