Don’t ask yourself what you want to do for a living. Ask “What questions do I want to spend my life answering?”

@Mikehomeseller A little green fiat. Along the shore drive in Rocky River, Ohio. Great fun.

hey mom we’re on the cover of time pretty crazy

@maxhodak_ You are indeed! Love you — Mom.

@TimothyDSnyder @gtconway3d Maybe but also possible Mamdani just played brilliantly an old man of limited and declining mental abilities.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. And Trump likely sees in Mamdani what he always wanted himself: to go from being a Queens outsider to a Manhattan insider.

@maxhodak_ @peer_rich Not to mention resilience. Did you see that people with solar panels in Jamaica got power back not long after the hurricane ended and also provided some neighborhood power.

@peer_rich "sustainability" should rebrand to "scalability". all of its other issues aside, oil is too scarce a resource to fulfill our rapidly growing energy needs.

climate tech needs a rebrand, away from “being the ethical choice” towards convenience and quality of life electronic cars are more convenient charging at home is more convenient a heat pump with solar panels is cheaper than fossil the buyers market for ethics and ideology is too small the mass market wants convenience and cost reduction

"This brought me hope,” a PRIMA patient said. “It literally changed my life.”

Some patients who were once blind are reading again—thanks to @ScienceCorp_ and @maxhodak_. Their neural implants don’t just patch what’s broken; they rebuild communication inside the brain. This isn’t science fiction, but the future of restoration technology.

The New England Journal of Medicine (@NEJM) today published a peer-reviewed original paper with the results of a landmark clinical trial of our PRIMA brain-computer interface (BCI) retinal implant.

Very excited that the clinical trial results for our PRIMA retinal prosthesis are published today in the New England Journal of Medicine! This is the first time that patients who are blind due to photoreceptor loss have been able to intuitively see again.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. nytimes.com/2025/09/20/opi…

Me too! Can’t wait to see it again.

@maxhodak_ @zhangzhen739062 Two characteristics of diverse teams that are well-managed is that they can/may produce longer brainstorming lists and critique them from more angles than an individual or a homogeneous team. Can it learn to do these things on its own? Just curious.

@zhangzhen739062 Yeah, maybe like using retrievers beyond just a cursory similarity search?

if directly training in high quality examples of "let's think step by step" paid off this way, does that imply fine tuning on high quality examples of other "trick" prompts might also improve performance? 🤔

From start to end, Kamala Harris has just delivered what is easily one of the most successful Presidential debate performances in all of American history.

@TheAtlantic @GiladEdelman Not if the error was due to underestimating dem turnout/biased in some way against the dem vote.

A 2020-size polling error would mean that Kamala Harris is actually down—and poised to lose the Electoral College, @GiladEdelman writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

And aside from Biden stepping down to precipitate this, how is the rallying so different from what happened in 2020 when the rest of the field of candidates very quickly coalesced around Biden? Oh, is this candidate a woman? Shame on you @TheAtlantic

Let's win this, @KamalaHarris.

@BeschlossDC My 4 are Kelly, Pritzker, Beshear, Shapiro. Call the bluff of the ridiculous tech billionaires that the dems are too liberal and that a Harris ticket is ‘DEI’. And bring in at least one key state, though Kentucky will go red regardless, but Beshear could sway Ohio, Penn or MI

Anyone wish to comment on who should be Kamala Harris's number-two? And please explain reason for your choice.
