The problem with America (and Brazil too) is that they're such big countries with such widely different living standards and safety levels per region, city and even neighborhood So it's really hard for Europeans to be able to grasp that once you're in the good parts of America it's generally a much higher living standard than Europe While the bad parts are of course much worse Europe has a much narrower range of good and bad where mostly everything is kinda in the middle, not great, not terrible

Happy birthday to the greatest country on earth

Both my parents immigrated to America. They both learned the language, studied, and worked hard to give me a better life. They succeeded. When you see a someone insulting the US, remind them to try anywhere else. We live in the undefeated land of opportunity. Happy July 4th.

To the Americans: I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States. And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness: You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence. This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns. Success is equated with exploitation. Ambition is looked upon with contempt. This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom. But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated. This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet. And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America: Thank God for the United States. Thank God for the wisdom of its founders. Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man. Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners. Long may your admirable country dominate the world. Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states. May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning. Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill. Thank God for the USA. Happy 250th. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Three years ago, two Harvard dropouts set out to build a better AI chip than the largest companies in the world. Almost everyone I called at the time said it was impossible. Today, Etched (@Etched) comes out of stealth with $800M total raised, $1B in signed customer contracts, and a working next-gen AI chip. This was my excuse to ask the two founders, @UbertiGavin and @robertwachen, every question I have about compute and inference. We discuss: - Why they built an entire rack and not just a chip - The two technical bets behind their architecture no one else has tried - How two founders in their twenties recruited industry legends - The night they nearly ran out of money - Why whoever produces the most tokens wins If you care about the future of compute, Gavin and Rob are two people to know. I think you will find the story of what they have built hard to forget. Enjoy!

The same people that support this will tell you that socialism is good and capitalism is bad.

See, this is a problem with the brand culture. The Lakers have won the most championships even before LeBron got there. It's in one of the biggest cities in the world and has always had superstars. Not to mention they already have another superstar active right now in Luka. Way too many LeBron fans truly believe the world revolves around them. They act as if basketball only started existing when they became fans of LeBron, as if when LeBron retires, then basketball will no longer exist. That's just not reality.

If people are not telling you you're crazy for what you're building or trying to achieve, you're probably undershooting.

So many people are going to lose out on their kids future because they hate orange man
