Have you ever wandered who is considered the “first engineer”?

I currently work as an embedded systems engineer, and I got curious about who could be considered “first”, and the answer was surprisingly complex…🧵

@americanafoid @msztfr @didem5654 Was just offered slippers on an international flight with Delta airlines yesterday in economy class. “Lmao”

I'm not an expert when it comes to most things, including history or politics. Find out what I'm actually trying to become an expert at by watching my latest video? Eh? Pretty please?

@MMMTwealth Correct me if I’m wrong, but 2nm does not actually mean it’s 2nm in any physical measurement. It’s a marketing term. Simply is “better” than 5. https://t.co/zlDmysXraG

@DJSnM @natemcgrady How is this relevant to the question though, are you implying they leave the field bc around age 40 they realize it isn’t “engineering”?

Fintwit loves this chart. But it’s 2 years old and many of the stocks like Netflix and Spotify made a full recovery and are trading at all time highs now.

@joecarlsonshow It’s worth noting that I still think Netflix has a great value proposition to the customer, but I do worry the end game for the streaming business as a whole is something that looks “like cable”. OR for it not to look like cable, you’ll be paying bookoo bucks to avoid it.

[Jake @iCanFlyJake]

@joecarlsonshow While I agree Netflix is far from the bad practices of cable, it’s not correct to say Netflix has to reach 99% similarity to cable tv practices for it to be “like cable”. It’s obviously reasonable to be concerned if Netflix becomes 50% like cable, then 60%, 70%.. so on.

The government doesn’t want the baremetal speed of C/C++ in the hands of every day citizens…it is our civic duty to wonder…why not???

The AI behavior guardrails that are set up with prompt engineering and filtering should be public — the creators should proudly stand behind their vision of what is best for society and how they crystallized it into commands and code.

I suspect many are actually ashamed.

The thousands of tiny nudges encoded by reinforcement learning from human feedback offer a lot more plausible deniability, of course.

[BuccoCapital Bloke @buccocapital]

I've been selling my soul, working all day
Selling front-office software for outlandish pay
Driving top line growth, not EBIT-D-AY
Then ZIRP came and washed my dreams away

It's a damn shame, this market you know
They fired my ass
To boost free cash flow
It's true, oh it's true
