what most new SpaceX investors probably don't understand is that it's *expected* to take 7-8 quarters of everything getting destroyed before they get the real benefits of deep conviction: an iterative process that leads to fast eval and re-use of the promises they come up with to deflect press heat
There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...
Good news: some of the US international aid funding has been restored! I graphed it here to put the numbers in context of the scale of the cuts. The article says PEPFAR restoration is still to come. 🤞

What's the best thing Claude has "refused" to do in a session for you so far?
Just really feeling appreciative today that Donald John Trump rushed the Covid vaccine through and took it himself and told everyone to. Good job Trump MAKING THE COVID VACCINE
What's coming is Stuxnet as a service, wielded by people with the impulse control of a bored teenager and the capability of a nation-state APT team. We have one to two years to pwn day.

IPO price discovery will be completed in approximately two months.
We already spent 1/3 of the SPR as a buffer against sanctions when the Ukraine War started, so we began the Iran conflict behind. (I am surprised this does not come up more as blaming Biden/democrats for a shortfall, but that might start appearing soon.) 1/2

I cannot confirm it works well, but this now supports poly relationships too, not just "relationships classic". Presets available for common structures: Kitchen Table, Parallel Poly, Hierarchy Honored, Relationship Anarchy, and Solo Poly. I don't know what these mean, but Fable does ?

Oil & the Two Wars — Flows, Prices & Buffers

Dustin Moskovitz@moskov.goodventures.org · 2w agoAs the war drags on, I keep wondering about the "demand destruction" that must come from the hole in the world's oil supply. Are people driving less? Taking less trips? What I see: the pain is not evenly distributed. Some countries basically forced themselves into recession right away in March. 1/5

Dustin Moskovitz@moskov.goodventures.org · 3w agoThis moral parliament tool is now available as a standalone site: moralparliament.net It now asks you a few clarifying questions, like the chatbots and coding platforms do, which makes it easy and fast to configure new ones. The goal isn't to tell you what to do, but rather to explore the nuance.

I’m really excited about this: we’re increasing our support for GiveWell recs this year from $175M to $1B to help pave the way for an expected surge in funding from others. coefficientgiving.org/research/in...

CG, via funding from Good Ventures, is surging budgets in 2026 across all categories. I'm particularly happy about this Givewell focused grant (larger than last year's *entire* budget!). It's timed and designed to scale the field ahead of the anticipated wave of new funders next year.

Dustin Moskovitz@moskov.goodventures.org · last yr.(ignore if you don't like moral philosophy) Rather than making all choices through one framework like "utilitarianism" or "virtue ethics", I favor the idea of a moral parliament. The idea is you may have genuinely conflicting values, and you can treat it as a kind of vote. 🧵 bit.ly/moralparliam...
Inspired by a post from a few years ago, I compiled the data I have on public and private giving into an actual map. givingatlas.org/giving/map.h... If you click through, there is a lot more detail at closer zoom levels and many informative hovercards. Desktop recommended.
The first fly by -- huh, why is everyone clutching their pearls over this, looks cool? The second fly by -- :grinding pearls into dust with my fists: 😡 What the fuck.

Elon Musk has been referred for possible criminal prosecution after Wisconsin election officials found probable cause that his $1 million voter giveaways violated the state’s election bribery law.
How much does this/will this impact prices? * About half the throughput can be counterbalanced, at least for some time, through rerouting and reserve depletion * The other half can't, and demand ultimately absorbs it * 20% toll in the short run would lower prices, in the long run decays to alts.

I was able to gather some data on this by category and estimate the remainder, which yields this result. Individuals are largely giving to religion. givingatlas.org/giving/publi...
Lynoure Braakman@lynoure.eurosky.social · 4w agoAre the statistics that differentiate between private and corporate giving not available, or why are they lumped together? Giving by different income and wealth classes would be very interesting.
I didn’t really have much sense of who Senator Graham was until his Daily Show appearance in March 2016 during the primary. “[Why endorse Ted Cruz?] He’s not Donald Trump.” youtu.be/qI3MgHdn9MQ?... Anyway, things changed after that.
