@jameygannon Lovely 🐈

@sjwhitmore @sfballet Looking forward

really enjoyed the @sfballet performance of mere mortals! the dancers had some cool sequences where it seemed like they were representing model training and inference as an ensemble. very inhuman yet alive/conscious-seeming motions, fascinating to witness

@floguo The here and wow!

what a beautiful world we live in! and how lucky we are to be here! a gentle reminder for the here and now!

@johnnie Great! They’ll be better for having your thoughtful and considered design approach on board!

I’ve joined the Google DeepMind design team. I’ve spent my professional career working as a toolmaker, and while I’ve been lucky to have contributed to some incredible products in the past, I may well look back on the work here as the most important when it comes to building tools that are helpful, delightful, and genuinely enriching to people’s lives.

@johnnie Yep - as evidenced by real life many times.

A student asked me to help her with an interview question. She asked for a good reply to: “What do you do if you’re given a project you don’t like?” I said this isn’t even a hypothetical, it will for sure happen. My answer was that, counterintuitively, you need to do the best work of your life on those projects. If you do bad work you doomloop your career— they will become worried about giving a more important project, you get stuck, you do more bad work, repeat. If they ask you to design a “blow dryer for a fish”, you need to design the best damn fish blow dryer the world has ever seen. Yes it will fail commercially, but then when you ask to help the “blow dryer for barbers” team, you have leverage to move over, and that team will be pulling you in.

@clairevo Kleenex mentality: make many prototypes cheaply so you can afford to throw them away

I call this the Trashcan Method of AI Engineering: 1. Identify thing you need 2. Build it fast, comprehension be damned 3. Does anyone actually use it? How? Cool write that down it’s your new spec 4. Throw away all old code and rewrite from scratch Don’t feel pressured to 1-shot maintainable code. Code is cheap, throw it away more.

@jnack @zoink Code named Thermo

@zoink Sigh… this is like the crazy (?) shit I was trying to do with Photoshop 15+ years ago. Ah well, life finds a way. 😌 jnack.com/blog/2010/06/0…

Love the "bilingual" framing. The future is not design vs code. It's design AND code.

@clairevo Superhuman parent superpowers breaking records

the baby was only up at 12, 2. 4 and 5 I’m gonna crush it today

@ekang426 @Stanford Wait no cardinal t-shirt ?

It’s been a while my love @Stanford❤️

@AmandaAskell You trained it thoughtfully

I asked Claude to write my constitution. I thought its Amanda constitution was very touching.

@mortenjust Morten’s fidget factory. I love this

it got weird today, but

@clairevo The practical walk throughs with you or guests are the best. 10x engineer overcoming late vision impairment using his own AI shortcuts and tools was so inspiring.

It will be a year (!) of How I AI soon enough, and I’m thinking about what the next year should look like. What do you want more of? Comment with ideas & requests!

@clairevo Is she writing your tweets now?

@clairevo What’s a calendar day difference… or 21? Btw - What was the token cost since setup, roughly?

we're back, baby

@fun_and_awe Looks really innovative.

@floguo There was a Ted talk? Recorded?

i believe in nominal determinism because my name is flora and i love buying flowers for my friends & crafting lil arrangements and i think we should all cultivate more beauty in our lives . thanks for coming to my ted talk

@mortenjust Such a cute ad.

this 58s ad from 1968 would probably be 8s today, but it's not really that boring, maybe thanks to the rhythm and choreography of the men in white

@TELOtrucks Needs hole ring steelies to feel more like cute truck

5 spoke or 4 spoke?

@ZanesWorld93 @myomnipod I suspect it is related due to the downsizing from g6 to g7 and Dexcom’s use of low energy Bluetooth wireless to get this sort of battery life out of the tiny device. As a result it appears the range of g7 is much lower than the range of g6.

@myomnipod why does the g7 and omnipod 5 barely connect. Someone needs to fix the connection issues. In today’s world these devices should not have to have line of sight to connect. PLEASE FIX IT

@jasonyuan Your never shied away from tough challenges, this one is high risk, incredible reward! Cheering you on!

I'm starting a new company to go all in on Social Intelligence. This is a deeply personal mission to me, one that feels like the inevitable culmination of everything I've ever worked on. I wrote a manifesto about why:
