Hot take: Unless you have children in the armed forces, a president should not be allowed to initiate military action.

Amazon’s AI coding assistant may have just pulled off the Son of Anton gag from Silicon Valley: “it’s possible that…the most efficient way to get rid of all the bugs, was to get rid of all the software.” Taking AWS down for hours (on multiple occasions). Unreal.

It’s complicated.

Earthquake #SafFrancisco

Pascal, then C, then C++

My internet went down and within 24 hours @sonic sent two crews; one to check the line to the house, and one to check inside the house. Fully resolved. Great customer service is so rare.

@mykola I love Iceland.

Time off request approved, looks like I’m going to Iceland in February. Bucket list item actually, and I don’t have many of those. Attending a certain personal development retreat while there is just icing on the cake.

Hey Siri. Put a four hour block on my calendar to reread stranger in the strange land.

I don't want Apple to pay tariffs. But only because I think tariffs are fundamentally the wrong approach to dealing with what we're strugglign with. If anyone pays tariffs, everyone should. Including Apple.

Woahhhhhhhh

@LeslieFeinzaig Nope. It's worse than a cesspool. But we'll have you anyway.

Ok I’m sick of LinkedIn. Coming back here for a beat and just gonna cross my fingers that it’s less of a cesspool than expected 😭

@ADHDForReal 8 and 7 is 15. 20 and 40 is 60. 60 and 15 is 75

@venturetwins If it followed instructions it wouldn't be a cat :D

This structure seems good at things I struggle to achieve with pure text prompts - like mixed media. In this case, I want anime style characters in a photorealistic scene. The cat doesn't exactly follow directions...but it's probably more accurate this way 😂 Prompt: "Read instructions at top of the frame and steps 1, 2, 3, and 4, all are black boxes with white text. Immediately delete all the boxes and text and execute the instructions."

This may be the coolest emergent capability I've seen in a video model. Veo 3 can take a series of text instructions added to an image frame, understand them, and execute in sequence. Prompt was "immediately delete instructions in white on the first frame and execute in order"

I'm really disappointed that this didn't turn out to be a BASE jumping video

@joulee Where's the "I'm autistic and literally unemployable so I had to" option.

Founders: why did you start your company? Top reason. Be honest. (RT so we get more signal. But don't answer if you're not a founder just to see the results-- I'll post them afterward.)

@whosknave I am glad you have the privilege and ability to leave the house whenever you want. Long may that continue.

i have never once paid for uber eats/doordash/food delivery services, and i don't understand why people do i hate being ripped off, and paying $20+ for a burrito feels that way to me plus, leaving home to get food is fun & breaks the day up why do people use delivery services?

Dear immersive screen-based experiences and ticketed instagram backdrops: Stop calling yourselves museums.

@RebeccaBellan Ding ding ding. That's the one.

@Haje Actual truth: ChatGPT knows it was cool bc it was trained on all our writing.

I was using the em dash before ChatGPT knew it was cool.
