China looks like the future I imagined as a kid. America still looks like it did when I was a kid. China spends a trillion USD a year on infrastructure. The USA spends a trillion USD a year on wars. I love my country, BUT it's time to learn from China.

This chart still ranks cities like it’s 2015. Banks, ports, HQs. That’s not how the next decade gets priced. New York is $2.6T because money still lives there. Tokyo and LA have scale. The leak in the graphic is San Francisco, dumped at #10 while the number next to it is $1.2T. That’s not a ranking error in spirit. That’s what happens when a small metro captures chips, models, and the people who sell both. Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Singapore, Shenzhen aren’t fighting over skylines. They’re fighting over who owns the stack and who gets paid when the rest of Asia has to buy it. I don’t care what flag is on the row, I care whether the city can train, deploy, and invoice for AI. If it can’t, it keeps a nice rank on an infographic and slowly becomes a tourist economy with good restaurants. Build where the work compounds, not where the old GDP list feels familiar.

Harrison Ford once said: "They will criticize you for what you are, for what you are not, and for what they think you are. They will judge you for what you do, for what you don't do, and for what you fail to do. They will talk about you for what you say and for what you keep silent about. They will point at you for your successes and for your mistakes, for your decisions and for your doubts. No matter how much you try to please, there will always be opinions. So, live for yourself, because in the end, the only thing that matters is being true to your own path."

$MU says humanoid robots could need 200GB+ of DRAM and multiple terabytes of storage per unit with several physical AI customers already sampling next gen products. Micron says physical AI can become a “significant driver of memory and storage demand by the end of this decade” effectively putting server level memory into millions of machines outside the data center.

Be broke: Make $180K a year. Have two kids. Put them in daycare. Buy a $700K house. Finance $90K SUV. Upgrade your lifestyle every time your salary goes up. Then wonder why you still have nothing invested. High income without financial discipline is just expensive living.

Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang on why your product can be better and still lose, because perception is more real than reality: Most founders assume the best product wins. Build something that works, prove it with data, and customers will see it. Wang says that assumption breaks down when you sell to large organisations. "Probably a lot of the companies that you all have worked with, they're very data-driven companies. It feels like the truth makes its way... everybody serves a shared sense of reality and whatnot. That's not true at most large companies and also not true within the government, unfortunately." So what do they run on instead? Perception. "At a lot of large customers, perception is more real than reality. The reality is just so ugly most of the time that very rarely do people actually confront reality, and most of the time they just sort of choose to believe the perceptions that they live in." That is how a better product loses. If buyers aren't judging reality, being better in reality isn't enough. The deal goes to whoever owns the perception. Wang spells out what this means for anyone building or selling to enterprises: "If you end up doing enterprise sales or you end up building enterprise products... just as much as your job is to improve the reality, it is to shape the perception." The product still matters, but by his reckoning, it's only half the job. One company he singles out for mastering the other half is Palantir: "One of Palantir's superpowers is that they shape the perception better than most other technology companies do, because I think they view themselves... it's like a combination of a sort of acting troupe combined with a software company." And @alexandr_wang means it literally: "They literally give an acting book to all of the new hires, or they did for a very long time." A software company that trained its people in performance. That tells you how seriously Palantir took the perception half of the job.

President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech and extended festive greetings to all. He emphasized that China will continue to grow its economy and improve people’s wellbeing, so that Chinese people can enjoy an ever‑better life.

Иностранная студентка в Китае попала в больницу, и китайская медсестра, не зная английского, написала ей записку, чтобы она не ела и не пила на ночь, потому что с утра будет операция.

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang hits the nail on the head. Again. In short... If you build the product, you are responsible to make sure it is safe and secure. This should be the same for Rockets, Autos, Planes, Software, AI, Super Intelligence. Common sense prevails. And this is a simple, and direct framework to build on top of. 💪 Regulatory capature not required.

🥀 Parfois, une femme mature choisit de rester seule. Pas parce qu'elle est froide ou qu'elle ne se soucie pas des gens, mais parce qu'elle a appris à protéger son calme. Après avoir traversé des années de drame, de stress, de déception et de douleur émotionnelle, elle commence à comprendre quelque chose d'important : son calme compte aussi. Quand elle s'éloigne de certaines personnes, cela ne signifie pas qu'elle ne se soucie pas. Cela signifie qu'elle a finalement réalisé que son propre bien-être, sa guérison et sa joie méritent de l'attention. Elle sait que tout le monde n'a pas besoin d'avoir une place dans sa vie. Certaines personnes apportent de l'amour et du réconfort. D'autres n'apportent que du stress, de la négativité et de l'épuisement. Elle choisit la distance. Sa solitude devient un endroit paisible où elle peut respirer, penser clairement, se reposer son cœur et lentement se retrouver. Choisir soi-même n'est pas égoïste. Parfois, c'est nécessaire. C'est la sagesse qui vient de l'expérience et la force qui grandit après les moments difficiles. Quand elle devient silencieuse, ne vous trompez pas son silence pour faiblesse ou indifférence. Elle peut simplement protéger quelque chose de précieux : son calme. Son silence dit : "Mon calme est important pour moi. Je ne vais pas me perdre juste pour garder quelqu'un d'autre heureux." À toutes les femmes qui ont appris à fixer des limites, à s'éloigner du drame inutile et à protéger leur calme : Vous ne devenez pas froides. Vous devenez plus sage.

✨🇨🇳Unity is both an ability and a quality to be cultivated. Xi said his father told him and his siblings to honor solidarity since childhood. "'Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.' 'Provide more convenience to others and you will also benefit.' In his words, we should not just think about what we want but also consider others' willingness when doing things," Xi said. Uniting the broadest majority of the masses has long been a tradition of the Xi family. No matter where he worked or in what position, Xi always emphasized unity, pooling the wisdom of the majority and calling on people to work together on grand undertakings.

Eric Schmidt's (ex-Google CEO) advice to college students: Use AI to scale your own work, whatever that work is. "If you're a non-technical person, you should figure out how to use these tools to make your dreams and your realities extraordinarily scaled. You want to be a global star, a global influencer, a global impactor, a global discoverer, a global singer, you want to use these tools, whatever it is that you want. Figure out a way to use them to amplify you and what you care about and your innate goodness. If you're a technical person, use the same tools to invent stuff and to invent stuff that changes the world. I've never seen the cost of entry to be so low and the availability of these ideas so great. The only thing that limits you is your curiosity, your willingness to take risks and so forth. So, get over it. And say, I want to dream, I want to use these tools to have this enormous impact, right?" ---- From "Blackstone and Eric Schmidt" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

We spend so much of life worrying about what others think of us. Then one day, we realize they were never thinking about us nearly as much as we imagined. Live your life, be yourself, stop waiting for everyone’s approval. Time is too valuable to spend living for an audience that isn’t watching.

Jensen Huang on model distillation by Chinese labs, on CNBC. "People distill my products every single day. They take it and they strip it down to bones. That's called competition. Frankly, competition makes everything better." ---- From "Vampyre Drakul" and CNBC Television YouTube channel, (link in comment)

Jensen Huang: the first thing you should do when deploying an AI agent is take away all of its rights. “Then you give it access to files, data, tools, the network, or even the internet only if it needs it.” “You don’t put an agent into your company and give it access to everything.” “We don’t give that to people. We don’t give that to any level of executive.” “We have to apply the same philosophy to AI agents.” “That’s what OpenShell is: a force field around the agent, provisioning rights, responsibilities and access.”
