My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

@ylecun Too many drugs, too many bad "friends".

@Sebasti66855537 Almost certainly it is RAM configuration / clocking issues. Combinations of DDR5 RAM are restricted with most motherboard configurations. I'm running 2 48GB DIMMs to run at faster RAM speeds than my motherboard can run 4 DIMMs. After months, had to slow it a bit to be stable.

@kincsescsaba Javascript - Chrome debugger + editor is all you need.
C++ + Emacs Compile-mode is fine for some things. The Spacemacs + IDE mode is nice.
Java: Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ is required.
Visual Studio is good for C++ on Windows.
Android Studio is required for Android.

@indianloonie @pattonoswalt I'm getting there, a bit every day for nearly 2 years... I could understand most of what they said.

@TheDailyShow Hi Daily Show: Do you mind if I print these on T-Shirts??

Very true. So many are confused.

@mkt_sentiment In the end, he made terrible decisions, and may have been a terrible person in certain key ways. But this is a very wise & perceptive point of view.

"Hate ... is the path of the weak." "Enjoy the struggle." So many solid points here, and generally applicable.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

This is my message to anyone who has chosen the path of hate. Please listen.

Building robots that cost thousands or tens of thousands is just not viable for most use cases. We need to solve the hardware problem along with the software problem.

[Ryan | Don't Fear AI @DontFearAI]

Very sad news. Everyday Robots developed general purpose robots that could clean cafeteria tables, separate rubbish from recycling & could even open doors. The robots use AI & reinforcement learning to adapt to new situations & improve their skills. #ai

@ylecun Javascript. I wish Javascript had become the ML orchestration language rather than Python. While the main language is single threaded, many things are async at that level, multithreaded in implementation. Plus with WebWorkers (another thread), WASM...

@jtauber Also, if you are up for a little coding, TileDB is very interesting: it can read / write s3 directly. There is also an optional SQL layer.

[Stephen D. Williams @Scienteer]

@jtauber Snowflake is a very popular option.
