Great idea. Bought the Annual Pro plan and haven't been able to download explainer videos for the last couple of hours. Please fix!

@skirano Dude, that's pure magic.

As a 71 y/o myself, thanks for continuing to inspire folks to effectively but efficiently increase fitness. When I am tempted to overcomplicate my weekly routine, I apply Mangan's Razor, which Grok says would be something like: "Do not multiply workouts, dietary rules, or supplements beyond necessity."

if you’re freaking out about Mythos, remember:

Never make any major life decisions within 30 days of a meditation retreat, psychedelic trip, or first encounter with a frontier AI model.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

Well, my #Java journey has come to an end. Today my role at @Oracle has been terminated.

I’m open to any job leads y’all may have.

@RickRossTN @_LuoFuli Was reading this update with sleepy eyes and then noticed Rick Ross in my timeline and that you're a fan, so we'll give it a closer look. Hope you've been well, Rick.

@PCollinsTribute We saw this concert Saturday evening, and I’m still thinking about how great the band gelled and about the caliber of talent that was on the stage. I’ve been experiencing Phil Collins earworms since.

[Jennifer Reif @JMHReif]

Join me next week to talk about what’s going on in the AI space and help you get started building agentic systems!

@maria__violaris I like to walk-on to music that put me in a good state of mind to present, whether it's relevant to the talk or not. Current favorites for that are "Can't find my way home", and "Voodoo Child", although occasionally "Comfortably Numb" :-)

[JavaFXpert @JavaFXpert]

@ismaelfaro @karpathy @matiasmolinas Dude!

@brunoborges We just can’t have nice things

[JavaFXpert @JavaFXpert]

@Scobleizer @JeebsTX I very rarely intervene with FSD, until I get home and it always chooses the rightmost garage stall, but the charger is in the left stall. Would love to train it to pull into the correct stall.

A father passing by his son's bedroom noticed the room unusually clean and saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, "Dad"...

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

"Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.

I've been finding real passion with Stacy.

She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.

We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that these things don't really hurt anyone.

Don't worry Dad, I'm 16, and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.

Love, your son, Josh

P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report card that's on the kitchen table.

Call when it is safe for me to come home.

@hubermanlab BACK

@Sharat_Chander I’ll go. @brunoborges open sources YAML-based vibe coding infra.

[Alex Porcelli @porcelli]

Thank you @Sharat_Chander @jimgris and the whole @Oracle @java team for the kind holiday gift.

What a great community to be part of!
