I grew up in a magical era when the leading man of the leading TV show at the time solved hard problems with intelligence, courage, honour and respect. I owe so much to his example, and continue to try to live by the example his character set.
R.I.P. Patrick Stewart. Forever Captain Picard.
Watching Star Trek as a young kid helped shape who I am today. Ever since then, I’ve carried that optimistic, Star Trek like vision of the future.
It has never weakened, only grown stronger as time has passed.
Star Trek was a major inspiration for me, and it always will be.

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart. Capitan Picard was an early role model for so many of us. Someone who did the right thing — even under pressure — in seemingly impossible circumstances.
Fictional of course, and with dialogue crafted by writers, but it was Patrick Stewart who made Jean-Luc Picard the quintessential leader I looked up to growing up.

among the dumbest comments about the flying Roadster is “but how is it practical?”
well in a very practical way it’s inspiring the next generation of engineers who will be building the cars we will all be flying around in one day (my kids have been hard at work all morning)
we need to work towards a future we are excited about
The Chinese AI companies paid Anthropic over half a billion $ to steal their way to their models, likely at least $400M from Alibaba / Qwen alone. And to distill largely from subtly handicapped Claudes as Ant played them. Go Chinese innovation.
"Anthropic told investors on Wednesday distillation accounted for 5 per cent to 7 per cent of revenue"
If true, and Q2 revenue was $11.5B, then that's more than half a billion dollars spent by other labs to distill Anthropic's models!
