🥺Forever legends aren’t measured by the summits they conquer, but by the people they inspire to climb higher. Rest easy, Nirmal Purja. Your legacy will outlive every mountain. What’s your favorite memory or lesson from Nimsdai? 🏔️🇳🇵❤️ #NirmalPurja #14Peaks #Nepal
Nirmal "Nims" Purja (July 25, 1983 – July 30, 2026) was a legendary Nepalese-British mountaineer who tragically lost his life at age 43 in a major avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan. His expedition company, Elite Exped, and the Nimsdai Foundation officially confirmed his death following the July 30 landslide. He was widely celebrated for shattering multiple high-altitude climbing records and revolutionizing the mountaineering industry.

The "burn" here is based, as I now know from OpenAI's audited financials, on what appears to be moving money around various unnamed entities. In any case, OpenAI spent $8.6 billion on R&D in Q1 2026, or a little less than half of its entire 2025 R&D spend ($19.18bn)
OpenAI also spent $8.6 billion on research and development in the first quarter, which includes the cost of training models.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
