He couldn’t believe what he was hearing but stayed supportive. Find yourself a friend like Rick. #TheWhiteLotus

@auren Raouls has got a tasty burger

crowdsourcing the best burgers in manhattan. just tried 7th Street Burger and it was absolutely excellent. what is better than that? (wrong answer is Shake Shack)

@VicVijayakumar Yup and then whiskey + tunes stretches you into the late night

I’ve read about how you can do deep work like software dev for a max of 4 hours a day, after which you get diminishing returns. I find that I can stretch this to 8+ hours by taking a 5-10 min break every couple hours to go do something else and coming back to exactly where I left off. It’s often as simple as making a latte or microwaving lunch, during which I can still background process. I think the key to successfully doing it is when the interrupts are controlled by you, and you can off-ramp when it’s at a natural point for you. When the interrupts are extrinsic like Slack or email notifications, you’ve fallen out of the flow. On MacOS I turn on DND (only my wife and sister are allowed to message or call) and all other notifications are blocked.

The final boss has never been an external entity but our subconscious conditioning all along.

Grok voice mode makes everything else just feel booo-ring……

@justLV @sesame This is amazing. Great job and excited to see where this goes. One q: Will be model be able to keep quiet if a person is thinking? It continually rambles which is kind of cool but I imagine feeling like talking to a person who doesn’t allow silence in a conversation.

Excited to share a peek of what I’ve been working on We @sesame believe voice is key to unlocking a future where computers are lifelike Here’s an early preview you can try! 👇 We’ll be open sourcing a model, and yes… we’re building hardware! 🧵

@smallchou @LinkedIn @X lol yes.. Twitter algo feels more TikTok now

It’s a better world if the most disruptive LLM model is foreign & open-source vs domestic & proprietary. Better for: 1/ Safety 2/ Security 3/ Free speech 4/ Innovation 5/ Startups 6/ Cost performance 7/ Protection from sovereignty 8/ Global prosperity

Has anyone ever gone in during one of Trump’s tug-o-war handshakes and turned it into a big ol hug?

@darrenmarble That’s awesome, congrats Darren!

We just signed distribution for Going Public with 𝕏—we could not be more excited. The journey to this moment was 7 years. We experimented, learned, ran out of money (more than once), but kept going. You really do need to be half crazy to start a company.

I’d watch

@buridansridge Beauty is often in the small details or in the otherwise mundane

I read into the small details of life, not because I fail to logically understand how bleak life is, but because I want to believe in its beauty too. I want to be romanced - not just by people, but also by my very existence and life itself.

@VicVijayakumar First guess — people like playful flirty banter and a spectacular mustache is an obvious way to get at that

Why do the men who can grow the best mustaches often have partners who hate mustaches???
