I feel like the world doesn't know much about what events led to the Iran War and what role the President of the United States played in it. What follows is my attempt (and Claude's) trying to shed some light on that:

7/8 Apr 8: Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire. Apr 11–13: talks in Islamabad failed, and the US Navy blockaded Iran’s ports. Jun 17: Trump and Iran’s president signed a deal to pause fighting for 60 days. Jul 8: it collapsed after Iran attacked ships in Hormuz.

8/8 November 2026: no ceasefire, no deal. The US struck Iranian islands in Hormuz on the eve of the midterms. Trump says he’ll “finish the job” if Iran rejects strict nuclear limits. Inside Iran, people arrested in January are still being executed. Many have been killed as an aftermath of executions.

I really hope everything falls another 50%. It’s time for reckoning
There it is. Over 60% of the S&P 500's components are now in bear market territory, down -20% or more from their record highs. Four of the Magnificent 7 stocks are now in bear market territory, with these seven names erasing a combined -$4 trillion in market cap since their highs. We are in a "stealth" bear market. And, we believe it's a huge opportunity as we outlined below on October 15th.

مثل محسن رضایی باشید. هیچ وقت نا امید نشین تا آخر به عنوان دست برتر سیاست جمهوری اسلامی بشناسنتون. In other words, fake it till you make it
US intelligence has concluded that Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and former IRGC leader, is the central node in the regime and works closely with officials who oversee the Iranian economy.

به پادکست The Daily نیویورک‌تایمز گوش می‌دادم درباره انتخابات هفته آینده اسرائیل. مجری هی از مهمونش می‌پرسید کدومشون به فکر فلسطینی‌ها هستن؟ مهمون هم می‌گفت هیچ‌کدومشون مسئله اصلی‌شون این نیست و اصلا جامعه اسرائیل تشکیل کشور مستقل فلسطینی رو مسئله امروز و فردا نمی‌دونه. دوباره هر پنج دقیقه یه بار مجری می‌پرسید پس درست فهمیدم که هیچ‌کدوم از کاندیداها براشون مسئله فلسطین اولویت نداره، برخلاف دنیا که براشون خیلی مهمه؟ یکی نیست بهش بگه آره قحبه، درسته! برای کسی که ۷ اکتبر رو دیده، آخر و عاقبت خوب فلسطینی‌ها اولویت نداره

This is so fuckin’ true
I think many of us working in tech tend to forget that the reason software engineering vs other engineering fields pays (a lot!) more, is a lot more flexible (WFH/remote), and has better perks: Because this field changes much faster than other engineering fields. The premium is because fewer people are able/willing to pick up new technologies, methodologies so quickly. But the field had ~10-20 years of stability, and so lots of folks forgot this is why a premium exists. And that AI is just another tech wave: software engineers who pick it up and master it will generally fare better; those not will struggle a lot more.

and commercializing them is the wrong move without an extensive vetting process in place
abliterated models are a bigger threat than global warming
