Thanks but I think I’ll donate that money to my local network of food banks instead.

The combined confirmed and suspected #Ebola cases in DRC now top 1,000. This outbreak will be a bear to extinguish.

@KJezerMorton You have no idea

Tomorrow I return to Montreal after a week away and it feels like I’m going to a place that is hockey

@armdog Can you bear me a beer while you’re at it?

Some are saying I should be the Torch bearer for the outdoor watch party at the Bell Centre. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Facebook boomers are cooked.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

We're sending a back-up copy of all known DNA to the moon! The Lunar Genome Project and BioVault has officially started. Thanks to @Spaceomix and Space Applications Services: spaceapplications.com/news/from-malt…

Neural networks might speak English, but they think in shapes. Understanding their rich *neural geometry* is key to understanding how they work – and to debugging and controlling them with precision. Starting today, we’re releasing a series of posts on this research agenda. 🧵

Good lord. Half-ish of the cloud backlog at Microsoft, Oracle, Google and Amazon is OpenAI and Anthropic????

One question I get a lot is can you see the stars differently from up in space. When we orbit on the night side of the planet, we get a view of the stars very much like being in a very dark place on Earth. And because of our orbital inclination, we get to see the stars of both the northern and southern hemisphere. I captured this shot of our galactic plane from one of the windows of the Crew Dragon Freedom that is docked to the zenith docking port.
