Haven’t enjoyed a show this much in a while. "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" did a great job capturing that classic #StarTrek vibe. Thank you, @StarTrekOnPPlus

San Francisco has one of only 24 true 70mm IMAX theaters in the US.
With Latch we booked it for a 2 day early screening of The Odyssey. This Wednesday. Apply to join.

Demand for The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX is insane. I went through pretty much every slot in NYC for the next month, and the best I could find were third row far left at 10pm in 2 weeks. Even 10am on weekdays had nothing better. An exchange thread on r/NYCMovies has 232 replies!

Indeed.
And, you know, at some point I started to appreciate founders who come from Big Tech/similar more — people who have actually managed a BIG scope. Usually, you can hear it from the 2nd minute.
When your boss, your peers, the managers reporting to you, and their teams are all high-performing, busy people, you learn how to deal with your own arrogance, ego, etc. Not because someone is inherently good or bad. You just start to understand what matters and what doesn’t, how people are motivated, why, and respect their choices (or not🤣 but without rolling eyes), etc.
And one more thing — it’s interesting to see, after several months of being on fire at work (which is probably 90% of the year), which of your friends outside of work are still genuinely interested in you. And if those people stay with you for years, maybe there’s something you can learn from them, even if, in your view of the world, what they do seems easier than what you do.
And trust me, I learned some of this the hard way.

This is such an excellent clip from Ben and the aside “are they taking Touchy Feely at Stanford?” is especially funny to me. From what I’ve witnessed, excelling at “touchy feely” or the famed interpersonal dynamics workshop that supposedly teaches you how to connect with people’s feelings is inversely correlated with solid leadership. Leaders become great by seeking truth —and reading people correctly is a huge part of learning and then telling the truth. Naming feelings and saying “I hear you” doesn’t really help much with this.

I had dinner with one of Sam Altman’s advisors in Paris.
He had surprising insight into classified information, relationships to high ranking political officials, and an inordinate amount of information about UFOs.

Meet the first message completed by person with autism using Staxel touchless letter board!
People with autism cannot easily use traditional tablets or keyboards – motor skills are not developed enough.
Gesture-based approach unlocks a new communication paradigm for them, that can become as ubiquitous as braille alphabet. Moreover, it helps developing both fine and gross motor skills.

Here should be a post about the difference between true executive leadership/ownership and just being a senior function in a company.
But I will take a breath.

The amount of ghost funds in quantum and deep tech is insane. Playing some interference with friends + portfolio companies to avoid them. careful out there.
