We have a new coffee grinder (and $190M fund). I rebuilt the electronics to add grind-by-weight and Wifi/BLE.

The firmware is also running a server to announce our new fund: https://t.co/J7fiXQ10ZS

@msg Can we invest? 😁 I like Juicebox, but not only $$$, no API + no CLI = not in my toolchain.

I was today years old when i discovered that linkedin has dark mode. I don't know why, but i just assumed they would be the last site to adopt it.

@PleaseStacy Nah. Been involved since GPT2. Funded two of the authors of the transformer paper. I was just able to keep up with the new releases during “normal waking hours” until recently.

[Avidan @avidan]

I'm losing sleep over AI.

I have to force myself to go to bed after playing with all the newest releases of the day. I haven't been this enamoured by technology since building my first computer.

This year, I’m making Persian flavored hamantaschen. Thinking pistachio+rose and date+walnut. Any other ideas?

Announcing: Pedal4BrainRot. 🚲
You get to watch YouTube on your Peloton, but only if you keep pedaling. If your RPM drops? BOOM. Firewall block.
It’s like the movie "Speed," but the bomb is a firewall.

The requirements.
RaspberryPi
Magene S3+ Cadence sensor
Ubiquiti Network (install server on the RPi)
A kid who loves YouTube
Peloton (hey @onepeloton -- this would have been easier with a documented API!)

[Avidan @avidan]

My boys (3rd & 5th grade) are training for Bay City AAU basketball. They started "slow pedaling" for brainrot the second they saw YouTube on the Peloton screen.

As a dad, I had to solve the problem. Now, if they want the content, they have to earn it through cardio.

Oh good, I can run Doom in a terminal in @zeddotdev.
