Tonight's dinner conversation with my teenage son? Supersonic flight. He read on imgur.com/gallery/0EEgE the radical increase in drag that happens as we approach Mach 1, wonders if @elonmusk will design something clever.

@danielmckinn0n Sorry to hear you’re struggling with your knee. Due to tennis?

Ai HaS sOlVeD rAdIoLoGy?!?! I provided Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI a folder containing a raw images from a recent MRI of my knee. Gemini and Claude failed spectacularly and Codex significantly underperformed a resident DO radiologist. First task: explain what's going on. Claude Code and Gemini both confidently diagnosed a torn ACL, which I 100% don't have. Codex correctly identified a subset of the findings but misdiagnosed a patellar dislocation. Second task: given the radiologist's report, explain which images correspond to which sections and what I should be looking for. Codex gives a plausible answer (need to confirm with a radiologist) and both Claude Code and Gemini go off the rails. Third task: how severe is the damage and what is the prognosis? I gave up on Claude and Gemini at this point, but Codex gives a plausible answer. I will let you know in 6 months if it is correct! If anything is interested, I am happy to share all images and clinical notes for another human read or to pass through an MRI-specific system to compare.

@anshublog snap!

I think I have a good idea why Sun failed despite the best technology in the world. They literally were early and right on internet infra.

@villi I have told you a 100 times @villi , stop serving PBR and box wine and expecting people to drink it. Frugality can be taken too far my friend...

We hosted a poker night with a bunch of founders and VCs in our office tonight. We had beer and wine, but not a single beer was consumed. I know alcohol is not good for you, but I am glad it was different in my 20s.

@anshublog @Benioff Or perhaps Gong for 1/3 the price?

Likely won't happen but @Benioff should buy Zoom. AI on customer video recordings + Slack for deal tracking is the perfect stack for modern CRM. It's only $25B and trades at 5 times ARR, and profitable.

Hey @PreetBharara , you had a guest on your show readying a new book on the economy and how our "too big to fail decisions" from the 1980s to today has impacted productivity. I can't find it (or him). Can you remind us of this stellar guest (xmas gift idea!).

@shreyas @shreyas , I made a point of taking both my boys (with their friends) on a college tour during junior year as a road trip. From Seattle to San Diego, we visited universities, beaches, chose great restaurants and hopefully made the concept of college a fun adventure.

If you’re an empty nester, what’s your advice for the father of a high schooler (junior)? What do you regret doing/not doing? Time flies & it’s easy to get fully consumed with academics, college tours, testing, extracurriculars, applications, essays, etc. between now & college.

@anshublog you are such a clever clever man...

nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - your SSN - your DOB - your phone number - your mother's maiden name unless you use a PII vault

@anothercohen Hm, my reaction to @swbjoyce 's post is somewhat different. Our teams have been applying @AndrewYNg 's agentic thought leadership in our development, and reading @mustafasuleyman 's book The Coming Wave. I absolutely see digital and biological employees working together. Soon.

I literally don’t understand a single thing from this LinkedIn announcement

@curtlanglotz @mattlungrenMD @StanfordAIMI Is it me, or is @mattlungrenMD looking younger every year? What vitamins do you Stanford alums take?? :-)

Five years ago, thanks to the leadership of @mattlungrenMD, @stanfordAIMI released the CheXpert images: 223K JPG CXRs with labels for 14 conditions. CheXpert has been cited >6000 times, mostly related to development of supervised learning methods. Much has changed since then.🧵

@shreyas Not sure if you've read @AnnieDuke 's Thinking in Bets, but your statement nicely aligns with her arguments. We forget that life is a confusion matrix.

A subtle & common manifestation of the Fundamental Attribution Error in product work: When others don’t buy into our ideas we are certain it is a problem with our storytelling skills & when we don’t buy into their ideas we are certain it is a problem with their reasoning skills.

@Kellblog @Kellblog I'm on X much less ("fleeing the platform"), precisely because the feed has gotten so bad. But I still read your content!

My Twitter impressions continue to fall, reducing my interest in posting on the platform. I don’t think my content’s changed, but my audience might be shrinking as they flee the platform, and the algorithm has definitely deprioritized my favorite tweet forms: simple reposts and posts with external links. I personally have way more trouble finding interesting content, trending and for-you don’t produce things of interest, once-solid topics (e.g., AI) are flooded with garbage (e.g., “how to make $5k using AI” classes now free, discounted from $150”)

@MichaelWarbur17 Wonderful.

@anshublog Your poorly stored procedures trigger me @anshublog . For goodness sake, commit or move on.

Large LLMs should be fully regulated and maybe even banned. Also, if you think that why not apply same logic to large databases. I say, ban the JOINs!!!

@villi But then again it could be you. Let me know if you need a great dinner and wine my friend, I’m here for you.

I have not seen many holiday party invites this year. I may not be making the cut, but it feels broader.

Just have to say that @boniver is a wonderful addition to family on a Friday night.

@day_dree But how might one measure the outcome of such word salad @day_dree ?

Having a beer outside in Menlo … literally every conversation is “it has a set of robust APIs and a conversational AI-driven UI” 🥱

@Kellblog Thank you @Kellblog , I’m always grateful for the insights and reminders.
