@wesmckinn hey there Mr McKinney.

Writing in to say that I still return to your "on turning 30" post — thanks for writing it :)

& I selfishly hope you write a follow-up next March!

More edge than Swarm or Hive (or Yeti or Mammoth)

@espricewright Nice opening piece. Also happy to see a16z continuing the American Dynamism theme.

You might interesting a writeup I did last fall of notable AI-for-materials academic labs:

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

A life well lived.

“I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.”

“If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.”

“Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.”

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”

“I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don’t have any real knowledge.”

– Charlie Munger

@patrick_oshag Right on Patrick, you're living authentically and it shows.

I'm in the process of shedding my own 15+ year old chip on the shoulder, so your message clicks with me.

Cheers���️

@FoundersPodcast

I've recently been reading Durant's Story of Civilization series,

which introduced me to Chesterfield's letters to his son,

I think you might enjoy both readings.

here is a link to the latter:

@ShuiwangJi what a manifesto!

I bet the commit history / PR discussions would be just as fascinating as the paper itself...

[JAKE WHITE @Jake_Color]

@patrick_oshag @FoundersPodcast would love to hear an episode on Power Corp (https://t.co/NuN1xwltyL) / the Desmarais family.

Came across it during my extended stay here north of the border...

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

BREAKING NEWS: This is an announcement that has been decades in the making.

On December 5, 2022 a team from DOE's @Livermore_Lab made history by achieving fusion ignition.

This breakthrough will change the future of clean power and America’s national defense forever.

@patrick_oshag I would love to hear you interview Michael Polsky, founder of Chicago-based @InvenergyLLC

[JAKE WHITE @Jake_Color]

@tylercowen nice discussion with Jeremy Grantham.

You may offer your listeners another economic view on climate change and sustainable energy by reviewing the work of David JC Mackay (who unfortunately passed away 6 years ago)
