3 years ago today I was working at a 5-person startup in Boston that folded in less than a year. Now I’m in Canada, at a company that has rocketed from 100 to 200 employees over the past 7 months. Life is funny.

Execellent post on how stephen Wolfram organizes his life. Standing table with a treadmill before they were fashionable. Lots of actionable tps. He is a remote CEO, which is quite impressive. https://t.co/R6MXx24pAW

The warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm.'

Revenue from Apple’s services segment surprisingly missed expectations. That bodes ill for the company’s plans to shift its focus away from hardware and towards recurring subscription sales. Via @finimize https://t.co/Mchd7BuAPs

"Lessons Learned from My First MiniCompetion", by @pevansimpson, a current participant at @datascienceret.
"To achieve and maintain this state, we held 3 - 5 minute meetings every 45 - 90 minutes." Nice tool to work on tight deadlines (2.5 days to solve a fullstack DS task). #AI

"If your posture is to give hoping that you’ll earn the moral high ground and thus get something back, you didn’t give first.

You gave second.

You’re saying, “how can I incur a debt, one that I’m going to use to achieve my goals.” @SethGodinBlog

Fusion is the only way for humanity to survive. We should focus AI into solving fusion. #crazyideaMonday
(thread after a conversation with @sehailfillali, my friend and @ai_deepdive participant in Toronto). Feel free to add any 'out there' idea you have here :)

[Jose Quesada @Quesada]

Because AI is a general tool, finding a good use case provides lots of leverage. Using AI to help solve fusion is the most leverage I can think of. Any #billionaire out there caring to chip in? :) I have two rooms full of smart people in two continents @dataScienceRet @aideepdive

[Michele Romanow @MicheleRomanow]

Recently I heard on a podcast that failure and success are not opposites. In fact, you can't succeed unless you fail. Success is finishing a marathon and failure is all the training, eating well, etc. to be able to run. So you actually need to fail harder and faster to succeed.

First Recommenders class over. Damn, there has been progress in the last few years!

We spent $700 billion bailing out Wall Street.

With that money, we could afford:
- 8 million school teachers
- 12 million infrastructure jobs
- 78 million Head Start slots or
- 196 million adults getting Medicaid

We already have socialism.
It’s for the rich.
