Ah, feels like summer! Hours at the pool every day with the three year old. Hot dogs for lunch. I highly recommend taking summers off as an adult. (Even if it's an inadvertent early retirement). Viva la summer!

This is how I find out that they stopped putting the little beep speakers inside computers? I love those things. Guess I haven't gotten a new motherboard in... like 15 years? https://t.co/WKxaKvLqOt

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

Yeah... Can't argue. This resonates.

Many many people have a lower Erdős number, but I'm still kinda happy that I have one at all. #math

Goodness the robots #AI overlords aren't QUITE taking over yet. This is a accurate transcript of the voicemail a war dialing robot just left me:

"We are sorry, an application error has occurred. Goodbye."

Oh, good. BITNET. Yet another term from my young developer days wiped from the top 100 search results in 24 hours. Off to play with it.

My website is 8 times as old as my 3-year-old. Just sayin'.

This hurts me in my soul at many levels, working in #HealthcareAI.

This is why RAM is so expensive.

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

Ok, so @yelp has gone way downhill since I got out of the habit of using it. And not just this weird image (Franny's is an actual restaurant nearby, btw). The user experience on filter/search is just way annoying and resets weirdly. What happened yelp-people?

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

@grok - do you know?

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

I genuinely just want to know for number's sake cause I'm a math guy... Since the National Guard is often a part time weekend-warrior sort of thing, do we know how many ICE agents are also in the Guard?

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

@elonmusk Is the non talking filibuster better or worse than the pro forma session to avoid a recess? I find that sus also.

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

@drgurner @ericmmatheny I have not seen that angering Obama fans. They wear it as a badge of pride to explain that deportations can be done at scale, with less impact, and cheaper to boot. I've been amazed that Trump supporters post this fact as if it's a flex.

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

So. Yes! I mean, right? Also Obama did it with a lower budget, right? So. Excellent. Good lesson.

[Eric Matheny 🎙️ @ericmmatheny]

ICE was removing people by the millions during Obama‘s two terms. His deportation numbers far exceed Trump’s.

Not a single protest. Not a single liberal, screaming in an agent’s face. Nobody blocking cars and hurling rocks.

@prmody I've been meaning to write some tools to leverage these better. AI will inevitably be involved!

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

I don't know what to do with this, but I'm very proud of my collection of #bookmarks. There were undeniably some prior to 2013, but my organizational system had not caught up. Someday maybe I shall find them.

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

@elonmusk For public companies and comprehensive valuations the price will also include speculation on what future revenue will be. So it's not just value created but the imaguned prospect of future value (which may or may not come to fruition).

Rock on Hans!

[Chip Lynch 👾🚀 @chipmonkey75]

Ok, hear me out. @SpaceX IPOs in 2026 as predicted BUT DOES IT VIA reverse IPOs with @Tesla. Tesla stock skyrocket. (heh "Rocket"). It becomes worth $8.5 trillion in two years (not ten). @elonmusk is a Trillionaire by 2027. Tesla and SpaceX investors sit pretty too.
