Matrix multiplication is now a multi-trillion dollar business.

Your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

To become more, you have to need less.

Feedback from other people is fake. Awards are fake. Critics are fake. Real feedback comes from free markets and nature. Did your rocket launch? Did your drone fly? It’s impossible to fool Mother Nature.

You don't do science for the awards and honors, you do it for the fun of it.

Only Satan would continue to defend this:

One of the most fun parts of OpenAI is watching people here level up so fast and do such excellent work. We are operating at a high level across many different disciplines and many of the people doing it have never done it before, and joined us at the beginning of their career.

The most powerful rocket ever built launches today. SpaceX Starship Flight 11 lifts off from Starbase, Texas at 6:15 PM CT. 121m tall, 39 engines, 7,500 tons of thrust—3X Saturn V. This is IFT-11, the final Block 2 test before the even larger V3. Mission objectives: 13→5

This is a UN vehicle entering Gaza today. It looks like a scene in a dystopian movie.

study semiconductor manufacturing not to build a fab. not to get a job at TSMC. but to witness how far the human mind has gone. photolithography is pure magic disguised as engineering. we’re literally etching patterns smaller than viruses; using light, mirrors, gases, plasma,

Sharp Robotics of Singapore has officially unveiled SharpaWave, an impressively dexterous hand. The 1:1 life-size model boasts 22 degrees of freedom, with over 1,000 tactile sensors per fingertip. It can crack eggs, play the piano, or use scissors, combining strength, speed, and

Starship was made using zero AI. Future digital superintelligences would have to admit that it’s pretty good for a bunch of monkeys.

any sufficiently advanced engineering is indistinguishable from art

In a world where everyone is chasing momentum, I'm reminded of a Buffett gem: “You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.” Some things just take time: compounding, craftsmanship, and good judgment.

Neuroplasticity doesn’t care what you believe, it cares what you do. If you act disciplined, even while craving, your brain eventually adapts. That’s the beauty of recovery. You don’t need to feel strong. You just need to act like it, until the wiring agrees.

Knowledge is like an ocean, vast and infinite. The further you venture, the deeper you realize it goes. Yet, if you only stand at the shore, you may falsely believe you've seen its entirety.

A thing often in common among great startup investors, founders, and researchers: Trading making a lot of small mistakes in exchange for getting a few giant wins. (Surprisingly many people seem to prefer a few big mistakes in exchange for a lot of small wins.)
