My 10yo started making/speaking a language when he was 3 and recently wrote a dictionary spreadsheet. We pasted it into ChatGPT and then in voice-to-voice mode had it tell us stories in his language!

I'm back in the scramble in because baby girl is waking, she crawls her head onto my chest and hand under mine and zonks back out phase of fatherhood. Moments of bliss.

@JigarShahDC Except in Austin unfortunately. Austin Energy, the city utility, will pay you $25/yr for having a battery and letting them control it. And for solar they credit you 9.91c/kWh and charge you for every kWh used - at rates which exceed that at not-very-high usage.

Flying at 35,000 ft yesterday at 4:35pm ET this plane suddenly zoomed beneath us. Should have >= 2k ft clearance; seemed less. Anyone have fancy geometry or sleuthing skills to figure out the separation? JBU620 near 38.9594/-97.3377 per flightaware. I think it was a SWA flight

@DanielleFong I visited in 2008, it's incredible! I wrote this at the time about it https://t.co/PuHihca6wH

basilica cistern; 336 spotlit columns in a grid, 2 feet of clear water with fish, snaking wooden path, eerie music: where's the boss?

Today we are announcing a major breakthrough in the Vesuvius Challenge: we have read the first word from an unopened Herculaneum scroll.
The word is "πορφυρας" which means "purple dye" or "cloths of purple."

Congratulations to 21yo computer science student @LukeFarritor who is the first person to see this handwriting in nearly 2000 years. He has won the $40,000 First Letters prize for this world-historical achievement.

We are also awarding a $10,000 First Ink prize to @CJHandmer who was the first person to see ink and multiple letters within an unopened scroll. His work was the basis of Luke's ML model.

And @Youssef_M_Nader has won a $10,000 second-place First Letters prize for producing the clearest and most comprehensive images from inside a scroll yet.

This has been the dream of many people since the scrolls were first discovered in the 1750s. It is also the result of 20 years of work from Dr. Brent Seales and his team at EduceLab, whose years of dedicated work have made this last mile possible.

The $700,000 Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize is now in sight. Who will claim it?

This is a great summary of our business, including stories of how we take care of our members like family. It has been incredible and an honor to help take this from an idea to what it has become and is becoming. And this $1.23 billion investment will just accelerate things!

I've entered the "I love YOU"-back phase of fatherhood and it just keeps blowing my mind. The hugs are still amazing. https://t.co/ZRTExa9d6q
