@AJamesMcCarthy @amazing_physics Incredible. What telescope did you use?

If all of this is true, Trump will have succeeded in altering America’s place in the world.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

@chamath This quote feels relevant again: "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so"

@tvykruta That said, that is only the "what", the bigger challenge is the "how" and this is where you were smart focusing on insurance bc of the large inefficiency in their model and the commercial white space AI and ML could tap into.

[Jeff Lau @jeffclau]

@tvykruta Not to split hairs, but I define founder problem fit as having experience (AI and ML in this case, not insurance) that aligns with the problem space the company is trying to solve. Trust and Fraud have been themes we have discussed for more than a decade (remember Trustcloud?)

Didn't realize how much search has fallen behind until I started using SearchGPT. Even installed the browser extension to make it my default now. It may finally force Google search out of its stupor and re-prioritize efforts on quality and user experience.

Andy is all grown up. — whether he likes it or not. He’s good at it, too. @TheAthletic Andy Roddick, the U.S. Open’s last American male champion, sees himself a tennis schlub https://t.co/JwI1DfqHkz

Voters strongly support reshoring manufacturing jobs but hate inflation, with most not understanding that that’s the trade off.

I wish Biden would come out and say he wants Trump on the ballot. The 14th doesn't apply. Then thanks him for the playbook describing how to never leave office and the appreciation of knowing he can't be charged, no matter what he does. And ends it with " My Fellow Americans , I'm not ever going to leave the White House and there is nothing you can do to me. "

Which would confirm exactly why SCOTUS will keep Trump off the ballots and why Trump will never get immunity

@DanWolken Luckily the committee explained how they will think about this…

@DanWolken @_JoeManzo @aeiownthemarket Luckily there are strength of schedule rankings. There’s also the whole logic circle of Bama winning makes the Texas win over them that much more impressive.

This is a really worthwhile (and depressing) talk to watch. Kudos to @bgurley for shining light on such an increasingly broken system.
