@alvindrakes_ there doesn't have to be an end goal

you can just make useful things for people who want to use them, and live a happy life

After the early bricks but before smartphones, there was a stretch where phone design went absolutely catshit bananas (1/?)

new workout goal is to have a body where after I commit a crime, the media posts my shirtless pics and everyone's like WOW

OK Boomers
In this iPhone video by @JCyrier from our vantage point to the south, you can see the sonic boom in the air at 20 seconds and hear it BOOM at 47 seconds. Incredible body feel.

Quite possibly the most unhinged Linkedin update I've ever seen.

Former co-CEO of FTX heads to federal prison today to serve 7.5 years.

But not before he drops this banger on social.

come through, man. we're hanging out in a seemingly boundless grove of pomegranate trees. it's always dusk here. I have forgotten almost every detail of my past

they just be hitting record bc what is this 😭😭😭

[allegra @Inkiostrikk]

Hey @zweifelchips - I feel personally attacked that the Graneo with Lime and Pepper are no longer in stores and I can only buy them online. I need to be able to panic purchase at 17h after a long office day when it’s sweltering and there’s an impromptu lake apéro. What happened?

[allegra @Inkiostrikk]

Hey @VW you know how today tech giants have a feature request functionality? I’d like to request an electric version of your beetle cabriolet 😎 I’ll need to change my car at some point and cant imagine driving anything else. Can we put it on the backlog? No rush, medium priority

Still laughing about the time a computer scientist who had his bike stolen tried to explain binary search to a cop

For the 777, Boeing put their heads of software engineering on the test flights.

For the 737 Max, Boeing outsourced the software testing to $9 an hour contractors in India.

all this has taught me is that delusion is key

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

😳This was a study I was waiting for: does appealing to the (non-existent) “emotions“ of LLMs make them perform better?

The answer is YES. Adding “this is important for my career” or “You better be sure” to a prompt gives better answers, both objectively & subjectively!

20 yrs ago today, “The OC” premiered. I keep showing my kids pics to prove how cool I was. For some reason, they don’t seem to get it.

Two different dev teams:

Team A: a group of senior and above engineers go away and make important architecture decisions that the rest of the team will then follow.

Team B: all engineers are invited to discuss architecture suggestions/directions before they are put in place.

[Sam Altman @sama]

finally watched ex machina last night. pretty good movie but i can’t figure out why everyone told me to watch it.

[allegra @Inkiostrikk]

I’ve managed to figure out a lot of the adult parts of life that no one ever explains to you, but I still am completely incompetent at ballpark estimating the amount of socks I will need for a trip, with any degree of confidence. It always half of what I need or 350% more.

[Jon Krohn @JonKrohnLearns]

Despite poor lighting on my face in today's video version (my bad!), we've got a fascinating episode with the brilliant (and well-lit!) @Inkiostrikk, who details how data science is automating industrial machines.
