10/31: Tau Zero by Poul Anderson
I first heard about Tau Zero decades ago, and I finally got around to reading it. The premise is fascinating and raises a great question: if humans could travel through space fast enough, could they live to see the end of time? The science is there, but the book spends a lot of time on crew drama that never grabbed me. Maybe I just hyped it up too much in my head. Either way, it was an OK read for me.

9/30 This time I went back to a classic I first read when I was a kid: The Langoliers by Stephen King. There’s also a TV adaptation that I remember watching years ago. It’s such a weird concept about a plan that goes back in time(then forward?) all the dialog is really good. It was cool coming back to this one after so many years.

@CoachDanGo Once in a while, this is a great dinner option for me. I just wish I was strong enough to resist always getting the hot dog and loading it with ketchup and mustard.

Nvidia's board is launching an investigation into whether Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign espionage plot after he admitted to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife. https://t.co/I0iYVhWvHQ

Daily reminder that putting money into stock XYZ without understanding what you're buying, but solely because your favorite influencer said, it’s not investing it is gambling. Do your own due diligence.

He thinks $DUOL and $HIMS could hit $1 trillion.

@astrooalert Sometimes I wish I had been born in the future, when space exploration is happening. I'd love to see other planets and galaxies.

@Unreal_64 This game is so legendary that every generation will continue porting it until we have a real life super Mario 64 in the year 2064

As much as I like SpaceX, I highly doubt $10k invested today becomes $1 million in 20 years. That's a 100x return. At its current valuation, we're talking about a roughly $182 trillion company. Elon’s shares alone would be worth 64 trillion. 🤯

[Joel @growthrapidly]

$SPCX Could a $10,000 investment in SpaceX today make you a millionaire in 20 years? 👀

[Tiago DeMesquita @imerial]

@gurgavin Short time the stock will tank. But in the long term I believe the company would recover and find a new leader. I highly doubt he will leave tho.

[Tiago DeMesquita @imerial]

That's straight from a horror movie

Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.

We're presenting at CoRL Late Breaking Results next week.

@adcock_brett I get that the world is built for humans, but are humanoid robots really the most efficient design for most tasks?

@kevinxu Add a PS5 pro and GTA 6 to that win list

@elonmusk Can I get a Roadster if you don't get to my truck in time? I want to fly around.

I think US startup culture makes all the difference. Having a failed business can be sort of a badge of honor and doesn't discourage people from trying again. In other countries, there's a stigma around failure that discourages people from trying.

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

In 20 years of coaching founders, I’ve learned that the single biggest reason for failure is never starting.

[Tiago DeMesquita @imerial]

I wonder what Nintendo, Sony and every other game studio will do about this. (Can they do anything? )With AI, porting games and hacking systems is becoming trivial. I think they'll need to focus on showing users why their console is a better deal.

And step one is changing the rules so the games you buy belong to you forever.
