I hope the world wakes up to the existential threat of kleptocracy. It spreads like cancer, poisons democratic institutions, finances fifth columns across the free world. Democracy is under assault worldwide and fascists are empowered like they haven't been since WWII. 1/

The Iranians and their Russian allies had four years of target practice on Ukrainian cities to improve their Shahed drones. And most of the world smiled politely and thought it is just the Ukrainians’ unfortunate problem.

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.

And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Very important to understand this.

This is why you can't just think about problems. Plan to solve problems. Or put together the steps ahead of time to solve problems.

You have to start working on the thing itself to fully understand. You learn as you go, and you learn the most by making progress.

In physics, one often thinks of space and time as being fundamental, pre-existing concepts, and proceeds to define everything else (energy, momentum, forces, etc.) in terms of them. But it doesn't need to be so - symplectic geometry shows us how to go the other way. (1/16)

@alisaesage Patterson gave us a guest lecture in grad school about RISC-V in the early stages, glad to see it grow from a vision to reality. His undergrad books on computer org and arch are superb with very thought-provoking questions in the end of the chapter for those who like to dig deep

@jfslowik Maybe since is lumpy boiled tasteless dough, but that’s just my recollection from college years… to be fair, at that time I was broke and hungry all the time so spätzle was the shit :)

Dad, on the 9th anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering you for your most excellent fashion choices. These days are always hard and I love remembering you for being so very, very YOU. Love you so much!

Tech ageism observation: Touch screens work extremely poorly for very old people.

My father is 87, with many health conditions (severe heart deficiency, diabetes etc), and he does not use hand lotion. Consequently his hands are extremely dry, almost paper-like.

@bradfitz Attended a really cool colloquium at UW several years ago by @burrsettles : https://t.co/M1g5gNveGq . Keen observations about language learning and an interesting ML perspective too. Duolingo has evolved over the years as well

Twitter, what's the current state of the art for home routers? Wifi (Ubiquiti) is handled, the routing, switching, and inspection nonsense is bogging down.

Gigabit symmetric, multiple VLANs, ~60 clients at the moment. Hit me.

@IanColdwater Lol was literally wearing this t-shirt yesterday. I get a smile or a chuckle depending on the audience
