Just a small reminder that abstaining from an election doesn't cancel the election. It simply shrinks the pool of total voters, meaning every person who does vote suddenly sees the power of their individual ballot multiplied while your voice means absolutely nothing.

Whether you believe it’s a free and fair election or not put your beliefs aside, cast your vote.

We cannot live in a society where everyone thinks “My individual contribution doesn't matter” and so no one acts. By applying individual logic to a group problem, the group defeats itself, handing the win to the “other side” meaning the side that is willing to act collectively.

Vote! It’s the most consequential step you can take at the moment, we can debate whether it matters or not later. And don’t say you Kant 😉

An uncounted vote is an injustice you can fight. An uncast vote is a right you surrendered for free.

Voter Registration ends on April 7.

Pretty cool. https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/2039213719155310736?s=46

Little fella’s shirt choices make me wonder, is he looking at Batman wanting to be him? or wanting to kill him?

Trying to buy a laptop for the past few hours, what’s up with the prices? Damn

🤣🤣 if you think football has amazing commentators.

I agree, we are a nation of followers. This was my thought even before I even got this conclusion but only because we lack 'Proof of Concept.' Everyone waits for the first person to succeed before they jump in.I just would rather be the one who sets the path than the one opening the fifth bakery on the same block lol. Risk-aversion is why we stay behind ig someone has to break that cycle by betting on talent. If we succeed, we don't just make money. we prove that Ethiopian minds are a better investment than imported goods. Plus the cultural shock still hits even angels here ain’t have courage to bet on the talent. Like they had to be convinced enough you are printing money and such. Plus most of them believe on short return and high equity just like local market thing where you have to ceil you price up because no one is offering that product. Also there is a huge gap on awareness about the tech not even ai in general which makes it harder even to find product market fit here for solving local businesses. But all those just shouldn’t be a blocker anymore just let it be as a challenge like with this level of acceleration I don’t think it worth sleeping on it. All the talent now can be backed with AI. I mean all the cool people ik personally are much smarter than me and someone other people outside Ethiopia I work with. We just had to push that and we have to show some effort in general. The acceleration and timing is worth giving it a shot.

🚀 BETA ACCESS IS LIVE! 🚀

The wait is over.

I have enough people in this channel for ads now. Support me by watching this.

Thank you

My kid follows current events closely

I think I have too many.

For all the JDM fans. I don’t have enough laptop space. I’ll give away plenty, probably 5 random stickers each to ten people. All you have to do, subscribe to Devtopia :) (I won’t check because I trust you) I haven’t really thought about how, I’ll just put it somewhere and y’all can grab it. First come first serve.

Does anyone know where one could find the party manifestos for this year's election? (In english if possible)

For the life of me, I couldn’t find the manifestos.

Hmmm

I can’t believe I missed this pun!!!

Listened to this throughout the day. How can someone be so wrong. The interviewer doesn’t want GPUs to be sold to China and the “global south” because it “endangers” the US. A child thinks like that. Who says no to the biggest market in the world because they might steal your tech. They can BUILD your tech. Why not make money while you still have an edge and fund R&D to drive innovation and get ahead? Instead of shooting yourself in the foot and be a mediocre dying company that can’t move fast because you willfully shrunk the market you could operate in. Unfortunately every politician and Anthropic think like this interviewer.

We need to own our own AI stack.
