Nassim Taleb built his fortune by realizing that to survive wall street, you must be perfectly comfortable looking like an absolute idiot speaking to microsoft's top engineers, he shared the exact math from 1987 that built his empire: "it started with the crash in 1987. i realized that if you position for a massive 20-sigma event, your portfolio is so mathematically convex that you could literally wait 400 years for it to happen again, and you would still be okay" "so i told myself i will only specialize in extreme events. you sit there and wait 3, 4, 5 years. everybody on the trading floor tells you you're an idiot. they tell you you're not profitable" "and then suddenly the crash happens. the crowd blows up, they completely disappear, and you take absolutely everything" watch his full 1-hour microsoft masterclass on the math of extreme risk

The Rio 3.5 model broke the internet this week. The plot twist? It’s essentially our open-source model, Nex N2 Pro, wearing a different hat. 🤯 We analyzed the weights, and the recipe is exact: Rio 3.5 ≈ 0.6 * Nex N2 Pro 0.4 * Qwen 3.5 It even literally introduces itself as "Nex N2 Pro" if you ask it without initial system prompt! 😂 We are flattered that the City of Rio used our work to achieve SOTA performance. Thanks for the ultimate benchmark validation. 🤝 But in the open-source world, attribution matters. 👇 Full mathematical proof & verify script in the first reply!

A conversation with Ed Catmull, founder of Pixar. I've been making podcasts about Ed for over 8 years. He invited me to his home and told incredible stories from his 60 year career. Ed worked with Steve Jobs longer than anyone else — for more than a quarter century. We talked about what he learned from Steve, the founding of Pixar, building a company at the intersection of art and technology, why getting the team right is the necessary precursor to getting the idea right, and so much more. Ed is full of hard-earned practical wisdom. Spending time with someone I’ve studied for almost a decade was awesome.

How do you give a code LLM knowledge of an entire repository without paying for it at every single query? We introduce Code2LoRA: a hypernetwork that turns a repository into its own LoRA adapter. Repo knowledge baked into weights → zero inference-time token overhead.

Take my word for it, if you stay consistent on a path that you are really good at and has clearly shown you some results, you will “always” win big in the end, what will likely throw you off is how long you need to wait.
