As a developer if ur not constantly overwhelmed by how much u have to learn for your *current* project, u aren't growing! embrace it! 🤓❤️✅🚀🎉

The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book sales, I think it's the best deep learning intro around, and more people should be able to read it.

Software engineering has been within 6 months of being dead continually since early 2023

vibe coding, where 2 engineers can now create the tech debt of at least 50 engineers

Sauna is not currently part of my routine as there's not great evidence in healthy people. It seems great if one cannot exercise due to injury or illness. Unclear if sauna benefits stack on top of exercise. I may experiment with sauna to explore whether it can improve my cardiovascular health as measured by ultrasound. What's your take?

Prediction: This is a secular trend. The pendulum will never swing back.

@danielsultan @JayinShanghai @Tesla @Tesla_Asia Precisely because they have compelling alternatives in China, they *have* to fast-track the new model (refresh) to face sales decline. 📉

@JayinShanghai @Tesla @Tesla_Asia Isn't it kind of weird that an American company is prioritizing China for the release of electric cars, in a country with very, very compelling alternatives?

Elixir v1.18-rc.0 is out and it is a massive and beautiful release. More type system work, built-in JSON, language server listeners, parameterized and group tests, "mix format --migrate" and that's not even all: github.com/elixir-lang/el…

$TSLA getting dangerously close to $420 … 🎢📈

@MoreBirths Anyone ignoring this time bomb is in for a very rude “surprise” in 20-30 years when the pension/social security system (pyramid scheme) collapses due to insufficient workers paying in. 📉 Making life more affordable for families should be top priority for all Gov! 💭

What most people fail to grasp about the low birthrate crisis is the sheer speed of the decline. This chart (NYT) shows how much births dropped in 1 year. Births/woman from 2015 to 2023: 1.78 to 1.14 in Chile 1.79 to 1.45 in UK 2.24 to 1.35 in Argentina 1.24 to 0.72 in S Korea

Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend @SusanWojcicki after two years of living with cancer. She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her. She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I’m one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan.

There is something seriously misaligned here Database platform: $25/month Hiring platform: $7,491 / year What are the best ATS platforms on the market? Anything open source?

Really pleasant to wake up and see Phoenix as most admired framework, and Elixir as 2nd most admired language in the SO survey. What's stopping you moving from admired to using in anger?

Any sufficiently bad software update is indistinguishable from a cyberattack…

@vinted what is the point of paying buyer protection fee if you then ignore report of COUNTERFEIT ITEMS?! How can anyone trust your platform when you don’t answer support messages and then eventually weeks later respond with “computer says no” canned replies?! VINTED #FAKE

⁦@BBCSounds⁩ please add a way to avoid certain topics. We were just listening to a “Wind Down” podcast and it autoplayed something about anxiety 🤦‍♂️ so much for calming. bbc.co.uk/sounds/curatio…

@amazon @AmazonHelp @AmazonSpain sent us the wrong items but the useless automated customer service bot doesn’t *allow* us to report the fact. 🤦‍♂️ We ordered Sharpie permanent markers but were sent PaperMate Ballpoint. Totally irrelevant to our order. 😢 please fix this!! #fail

@mrkurt Been using @flydotio for a couple of years and the experience has been superb! ❤️ Great to see it mature over this time. 🤩 If you still haven't tried it, speed run @elixirlang @elixirphoenix #LiveView tutorial: github.com/dwyl/phoenix-l… hosted on Fly livecount.fly.dev 🚀

Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView is mind blowing. I managed to get @nelsonic's excellent LiveView tutorial running in a 17 region cluster. This is a "boring" Fly.io app running Elixir.

Just discovered @AmusingPlanet "Sao Paulo: The City With No Outdoor Advertisements" amusingplanet.com/2013/07/sao-pa… ... had no idea. So awesome! Ads (especially outdoor billboards) are such a eyesore. Well done Sao Paulo! 👏😍 Wish more cities would do this.

@CNCSgovpt recebi uma mensagem (SMS) que é claramente Phishing. 🎣 Na Inglaterra há um número onde podemos reencaminhar este tipo de mensagem para as operadoras bloquearem o número para prevenir mais crime: ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecom… existe alguma coisa parecida em PT? Obrigado! 🤞🏼

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant. The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.
