Just spent a week staying at our friend’s private ranch. The ranch runs off grid if necessary, and has starlink in the middle of nowhere.
@Starlink is incredible.
Everywhere you go, your phone is on SOS.
When Elon decides that Starlink is going to provide unlimited data to my iPhone, it’ll be time for me to part ways with my carrier.
Elon, starlink is chefs kiss.
@codyplof@jaylene operates the sync & thrive newsletter for couples building agency in their relationship and health.
And while organic growth is slower, it has proved to be some of the best subscribers.
I would keep it going. It’s a great way to building community and stay in touch.
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”
Most couples are couples by default. The strongest couples are couples by design.
This week's Sync & Thrive is about curating the life you share, by design.

@FU_joehudson presents a masterclass on destroying limiting beliefs on MFM.
At the 37:10 marker there is a very real moment that you don't get in audio. @thesamparr and @ShaanVP this is a banger of a podcast.
This is one of your best episodes!
