Qué significa ser 🇵🇪an@? 1) Soberbia/Humildad, Avaricia/Generosidad, Lujuria/Castidad, 4) Ira/Paciencia, Gula/Templanza, Envidia/Caridad y 7) Pereza/Diligencia A veces siento ASCO, mucho, por ser 🇵🇪ano, pero 1 segundo después siento ORGULLO, mucho. Que DIVIDIDO me siento, mucho.

Paul Allen said Bill Gates tried to cut his Microsoft stake to almost nothing while he was fighting cancer. Allen kept the shares. They later made him worth $40 billion. In the video below, Allen explains what he heard while walking past Gates’s office during radiation therapy. “They were basically talking about how they were planning to dilute my share down to almost nothing.” Steve Ballmer was in the room. Allen walked in and confronted them. Ballmer came to his house later that night to apologize. Gates did not. Allen left Microsoft shortly after, but he kept all of his shares. He was 30, cancer-free, and still owned nearly a third of the company. When Microsoft went public, that stake made him one of the richest people on Earth. At one point, Allen was worth an estimated $40 billion. Could you ever trust your co-founder again after hearing that conversation?

And yet again it happens

Starlink in India would enable high-speed, affordable Internet connectivity for those who can’t afford current prices or who don’t have a connection at all!

9/ He wrote that he was called because of his "knowledge and standing and because I am Tony Fauci" Read it all on The Reading Room: paul.senate.gov/readingroom?…

8/ Weeks before news of the COVID-19 outbreak went public, the National Security Council called Dr. Fauci into the NIH SCIF over China's role in building a large genetics facility in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the seat of the African Union, which the NSC saw as a national security risk.

7/ "Big Chinese visitor day." Dr. Fauci hosted China CDC Director General George Gao at NIH, then met China's Vice Premier, Health Minister, and the head of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at CSIS

6/ After a "highest top secret level" classified discussion that China was "stealing our technologies for Ebola vaccines and therapies," he wrote: "I cannot see why this is so secret. This stuff is in the literature and in clinicaltrials.gov"

5/ Ransomware attack wiped his confidential files. Ransomware encrypted the folder he created for "the confidential files that I made right after the anthrax attacks since I did not want them accessible to anyone"

4/ His reasoning: "We cannot criticize the study since that is exactly what the press is looking for, and then they will create a tension between HHS and WHO. HHS is too stupid to realize that"

3/ Public praise. Private doubts. When the WHO declared its 2015 Ebola vaccine trial a 100% effective "breakthrough," Dr. Fauci privately wrote of a "terribly flawed study design." He gave a "congratulatory comment" to the New York Times anyway.

2/ Early-onset Trump Derangement Syndrome. The day after the inauguration, Dr. Fauci called the new President "amaxingly [sic] unpresidential!" By 2019, he had a verdict: Trump "Should be impeached"

1/ Today I'm releasing additional years of Dr. Fauci's diary. Here it is… TONY'S DIARY: The Missing Years, 2015–2019 🧵

“France is on the precipice of a dangerous financial spiral… France now pays more to borrow than former crisis hot spots like Greece and Italy. Its government is running a budget deficit surpassed only by the United States among its peers.” This should be a warning to every member of Congress: we MUST pay down our deficit and stop borrowing against our children’s and grandchildren’s future. wsj.com/world/europe/france-…

At 47 he paid the SEC $20 million for a tweet a jury later found him not guilty for. If he hadn't paid, Tesla would have gone bankrupt the same day: His CFO told him the banks would pull every credit line instantly. He calls it a hostage negotiation. Then he explains why the SEC never touches hedge funds. Save this.

BREAKING: SpaceX wins FCC approval for its 15,000-satellite Direct-to-Cell constellation. The order also includes a conditional U.S. waiver of satellite power limits, advancing SpaceX’s push to expand mobile coverage beyond the reach of cell towers.

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Just 1 year for murder! Outrageous.
