WE GOT THE KEVIN INTERVIEW FOLKS.
Kevin Mark is one of the coolest people on the planet and he just so happens to work at Palantir.
He sat down with me at Palantir's latest AIPCon to discuss the culture of Palantir, why he can't imagine working anywhere else, and how he
iVerify and Palantir recently discovered a system-level app installed on millions of Pixel phones that, if enabled, can be trivially exploited to take full control of your device.
Google and Verizon are removing the dangerous app in response to our work.
For college coders interested in Defense Tech, I’m launching the Code Breakers internship program this fall.
Start your clearance process as soon as you accept your offer.
You'll see your code used highside in real world operations.
“But the primary risk to society is not fake information. It’s a society that’s willing to believe the fake information because they’re wondering:
Why doesn’t my school work?
Why doesn’t my border work?
Why have I been taught things in school that don’t work?
Why do I know
This is actually mind blowing. Google maps doesn’t have a scenic route option because of DEI. And people wonder why Google is getting crushed and all their products are garbage
And finally, we are raising our FY 2024 revenue guidance to $2,742 - $2,750m, a $63m increase compared to our prior guidance and $45m above the midpoint of analyst estimates of $2,699 - $2,703m.
For some time, our kids have been thoroughly brainwashed into believing that unnecessary schooling, going tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, and worst of all, becoming a “well rounded person” is some kind of Western rite-of-passage. A type of socially
Palantir’s Frontend Infrastructure team is hiring! If you’re a force multiplier to the devs around you and serious about saving our Western way of life, this engineering role is for you.

It's game time. We're taking the culture back. For far too long we've let the inmates run the asylum because good men sat idly by and did nothing. That pathetic exercise ends this decade.

Was watching this video the other night and if you skip to 17:28 he quite literally makes the argument that rural Americans are too stupid to pick what’s actually in their best interests and so they must be governed by their betters. Gross stuff.
The magic of the Palantir internship is that we present our interns with a radically more compelling vision for their futures. The experience is so visceral that it rewires the reward centers of their brains. The “five year plan” (to become an automaton) that felt satisfying in
Just finished up Freedom’s Forge. Feeling robbed I didn’t read this in high school.
Can’t recommend it enough to the $PLTR community. Let me know what you think.
Finally found a few moments to update with Dr. Karp's public appearances over the last two months. Feel free to send things my way if it's missing something.
Sad to see. Switzerland has gifted System Integrators a monopoly on government software procurement. Unintended consequences abound.

This holiday season, we considered the colossal task facing one person: Santa. We thought he might want to try AIP.

It takes a (small, relentlessly executing) village to host events like these for our customers. But it takes Sasha's vision to make it AIPCon.
SASHA!!!!
Sasha is the reason why AIPCon is as amazing as it is.
Here's a deeper look into why the people who work at Palantir continue to work at Palantir.

Had the opportunity to sit in on an internal demo of our latest branching infrastructure. It's crazy..
The team is taking the "cheap branching" approach that git pioneered, and applying it to data types and state machines that everyone else thought fundamentally unbranchable.

$PLTR: "Many small changes, it's the safest way as well"

This is legit bad UX though. Should be some type of warning before you reach the limit. Answering machines did this 30 some years ago.
This will line the pockets of those System Integrators, collecting billable hours for custom (read: proprietary) code to duct tape FOSS products together. They're not about to share that cash with your friendly neighborhood open source developer.

The difficult thing here is that this impacts "bare metal" systems in such that they fail to boot. If they can't boot, they can't self-apply a fix. Containers and VMs have a hypervisor that can apply patches offline.

My first real job in tech was managing and writing custom plugins for a WordPress site.
WP was a stalwart example of the democratizing power of open-source software.
A shame to see it publicly self-destruct.
We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org.
A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of

Look, Palantir has over 3800 employees, all with their own unique views and opinions of the world, the company, software, etc. Nobody is ever forced to think a certain way.

Degrowth is vile. One of our most disgraced institutions wants you to believe that the revitalization of American industry is a bad thing.
Their message is clear: Be fearful of the future. Don’t have kids. Do not build. Decelerate.

Was having this conversation with another Palantirian the other day. My favorite theory is that this weird bifurcation is a visible artifact of some arcane infrastructure limitation.

The Disney-Channelification of American youth. If kids are going to be raised by mass media, bring back Modern Marvels, How It’s Made, Dogfights, MythBusters, etc.
There are few things more dangerous to the survival of the American experiment than Men Without Work.
Highly recommend Nicholas Eberstadt’s book on exactly this.
"America's young men are falling even further behind," per WSJ.
Men in their 20s and early 30s are much more likely than female peers to live with their parents, and many say they feel aimless and isolated, per WSJ.
