As an editor, I often read discussions that are long winded, meandering and fail to make an impact. They feel like an after-thought rather than a key part of the paper. Here are some tips to make your discussion better. Full credit to @sanjaysaint who taught me this years ago!

The media is a self-organizing division-creating machine. Shown is the political lean of various media organization. A good way to combat division is to read multiple sources across this spectrum, steelmanning perspective you don't agree with, seeking to understand not deride. https://t.co/Lhd8lTa0JL

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper.

Rather than start with a traditional title slide, I started this particular presentation with a fascinating factoid about collagen. I did this to grab the attention of the audience so they would be intrigued and hopefully pay more attention to my presentation. https://t.co/YCg3NCGTqy

Here I am with deepest wish that one day I’d get to be rich enough so I can fund and make my own great art to my heart’s content without ever thinking of how it would bring me money or how to return any investments. Rich enough so I can create and give my good shit for free.

“The most consistent way to get rich is to grow your income and invest in income-producing assets. This doesn’t imply that you can ignore spending. Everyone should do a periodic review of their spending to ensure it isn’t wasteful. But there is no need to cut your lattes.”

I’d like to see a “modern marvel” museum exhibit where we teach people about the things that our world runs on: the magic of combustion engines, excavators, transistors. Each section of the exhibit has a sitting object, and all its exploded parts around it https://t.co/WbIWiMTddp

Rory - "Don't think about clowns" This is more preemptive advice. You won't become happy by doing this but you might not be so scared. Perhaps the secret to a more happy life is just not thinking about scary stuff. They do say ignorance is bliss. For Rory, it seems to work.

Shout out to @Jack. #Bitcoin Academy, starting in Marcy, a place that taught me so much, is hopefully the first of many. The simple goal is to provide people tools to build independence for themselves and then the community around them. https://t.co/4uHkCfdFZv

No, brains don't build generative models at the pixel level. They learn abstract representations that *eliminate* noise, unpredictable stuff, and irrelevant information. The salvation is in Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA). https://t.co/42ApHRbge9 https://t.co/g3oPzIliG2

Nancy Pelosi’s trading is just uncanny. She literally nailed the exact NASDAQ bottom on May 24th buying those $AAPL and $MSFT calls. I mean… She’s 82yo, yet trades options better than a Citadel algo running on a dedicated $300m mainframe computer. Bingo or Bridge, this is not. https://t.co/CP9WdutUbb
