Congrats to @Netic_AI on the public launch! Definitely a startup to watch. @melisatokmak was my manager at @scale_AI and changed my life for the better. I have never met someone who cares so deeply about customers *and* collaborators.

Today we're sharing a major update to the Model Spec—a document which defines how we want our models to behave. The update reinforces our commitments to customizability, transparency, and intellectual freedom to explore, debate, and create with AI. openai.com/index/sharing-…

Sharing my golden rule for technical leadership in a new article ajostrow.me/articles/the-t…

College basketball is essentially a free throw shooting contest

It seems like with Gen AI the Harry Potter talking artwork and news is possible now.

Here's reporting that does justice to the harshness of the fighting, presents historical context, and presents information that can be verified, eg damage to buildings in Gaza as seen from satellites. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

It’s concerning there is “no reliable source of info” in Gaza right now. Why is that? There should be access for the press to document and verify.

It’s very telling that students who spread hate on campus are hiding their face and “signing” letters anonymously. Deep down, they must realize they are doing something wrong.

It’s not ok to support terrorism. Most people are focused on the right thing, protecting civilians, but I have noticed more and more crazies coming out of the woodwork lately.

There’s evidence in Seattle of people working hard to make an urbanist paradise

Most people here know me from my involvement in SF politics, but from 2002-2005 I served as an infantryman in the IDF during the Second Intifada. I figure my local friends might benefit from the perspective of someone they know and trust, so here goes. (Feel free to share) 1/x

A good heuristic for efficient code is if your file and variable names are talking about the problem domain or the tech stack

An interesting paradox of software is that you can often deliver faster by adding more steps. The value of incremental progress is so great, it absorbs the cost of extra work.
