Errr… this is statistically misleading. Around 1 in 2.8 million people become billionaires. If you’re born into a wealthy (UHNW) family, it’s closer to 1 in 230. Being “self-made” doesn’t mean the odds are in your favor. It just means you weren’t born into even better odds.

Very valid point from Terence Tao on why controlled experiments are crucial for evaluating AI systems. Without standard conditions, comparing performance across systems or against humans can be misleading and lacks scientific rigor.

⏳ Also, break your tasks into small, actionable steps and assign daily deadlines. Make them aggressive. This builds urgency, momentum, and focus. It keeps you from hiding behind vague goals.

Really glad the Super Falcons coach gave Rash the captain’s armband and built the team around her. She brings real leadership and can launch the attack straight from midfield. She’s a star.

Gentle reminder: Drop “enthusiast” from your bio. If you’ve built projects or done the work, you’re not an AI or Data Science enthusiast. You’re a data scientist or AI engineer. Junior, mid-level, whatever. Own it.

Every time I see someone call a tech worker a “cracked engineer” or “cracked scientist,” I just picture the 1980s crack epidemic, not someone shipping Figma prototypes at 2am.

I compiled a report on the career paths of Nigerians who’ve participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Should I just upload the PDF and share here, or is this something Techpoint Africa or others might want to publish?

One trend I’m noticing: Graceland School in Port Harcourt seems to have produced the most participants and winners in math olympiads (International, Pan-African, etc). There also appears to be a pipeline for STEM undergrad study in Russia. I don’t have the full picture yet.

It’s alarming how conspiracy theories are gaining traction, undermining decades of NGO-funded public health efforts. Our life expectancy remains low, but misinformation threatens even the modest gains we’ve achieved.
