@hori536453 今、事故現場の2kmほど手前で車を止めています。15分前に、消防車4台と救急車4台くらいが現場に向かって行きました。煙は見えていません。

@twostraws When you go *that* far, probably too tired for jet lag? 😂 Good luck with the talk—I’m sure it will be a home run 💪

@AcquiredFM Please be on Eminem 🙏

@jasonlk Literally flying from my home in Japan now to NY with a week’s worth of food in the suitcase so I don’t have to deal with US restaurants during a business trip. $38 at IHop last time. Insane.

@mwseibel Michael, you could be my 7th check any day 😅

@AcquiredFM How fitting—remove one linkage and it’ll collapse like one of their cheap desks.

@garrytan As Xcode/Sonnet lover, I've really been waiting for this. Testing now!

@ID_AA_Carmack In Chem101 lab, I thought it would be a good ideal to confirm the test tube labeled with HCl was indeed HCl with a direct sniff 🔥

@LiveandLetsFly @AmericanAir I build AI-based voice recognition systems for a living and it always astounds me how these large corporate systems just plain suck. No excuse in 2024…

@RaoSumukh Wish there was also a “you sent someone to bcc but forgot to actually move them to bcc” 😅

@B1Bisco @gbrl_dick Butter train is definitely cheaper than flying. About $100 Tokyo-Kyoto one way at today’s rate.

@himbodhisattva @gbrl_dick Actually, yeah…since I think spring 2024, the little smoking cabins are closed. Definitely still enclosed areas in the stations to puff away though.

@jefielding I was very lucky our lead investor committed during the Q&A then pitched all his reasons to the crowd. My DMs lit up. Great mentor now friend—but that experience probably spoiled me 😂

[Thomas Ballatore @ThomasBallatore]

@julien_c Not sure what's up but I do know you're a great guy and @huggingface is one of the most important things in the modern world so huge merci for that🙏

[Thomas Ballatore @ThomasBallatore]

@svpino And yet here we are, AI helping us speed up boilerplate code but then hallucinating libraries that don’t exist😂. It’s a glorious time to actually know how to code *and* use LLMs. This is how athletes feel after doping.

@loic Maybe it’s related to that Sisyphus/suicide thing Camus wrote about? Wish I knew because this is *the* question to answer…

[Thomas Ballatore @ThomasBallatore]

@skittle624 Stacey, you’re joking!

@potterlab At 54, calorie restriction or castration—not as clear a choice as I would have once thought 🤔

@alexlindsay Fellow Apple lover here too but never used Photos, except for the incidental wrong click 😅
