RELAX, I'm probably joking. Cofounder of HOTorNOT. Angel Investor. Proud Husband and Daddy. Good Friend. Troublemaker. Go Bears! 🐻

.@jimydotorg and I launched HOTorNOT 20 years ago this October 😮 @Mashable wrote a great retrospective about it. Realistically it is probably the last time anyone will ever want to write about HOTorNOT. I'm happy with this article as its final chapter. https://t.co/CrbQRE6uoz

@neetu_arnold Also interesting, possibly more interesting, would be to see the standard deviation metrics for GPA over time.

Yesterday late afternoon in the Palo Alto area, I was lounging outdoors in shorts and a T-shirt under the hot sun. It was hot enough that I decided to pull down a sunshade.

At the same time, my friend sent me photos of her kid's graduation in SF. It was overcast and they were wearing coats, some people even wearing puffer jackets. I had no idea it was that cold up in the city.

Meteorologically speaking, you are very far away.

Jensen is good at making social media content, I was sweating harder for the guy each time Jensen pulled out another bill lol

[HKEPC @hkepcmedia]

Gave Jensen Huang my wallet to sign, and he straight up emptied all my 1,000-dollar bills to tip the pretty ShowGirls ⋯⋯ WTF 😂😂😂

@Kelly4Humanity He just has to do enough to come in second. After that he has another 5 months.

@RandyWKirk1 Because dui checkpoints

[james hong @jhong]

It's illegal to use FSD to drive home while drunk, right? But when the time comes where you can release an owned tesla into the cybercab fleet, could you do that and then immediately order a car (likely to get your own since you are next to it), then ride your own car home like any other drunken passenger and it would be legal?

[james hong @jhong]

Starlink is just the start and a way to make money. I think SpaceX will launch or acquire every functionality needed (mining, fab, robot workers etc) to ultimately be thought of as a huge robot machine that basically eats sand and metal on earth and poops compute in space.

[SMX 🇺🇸 @iam_smx]

This is how Starlink satellites are planned to be deployed into low Earth orbit on future missions using Starship.

It’s the largest PEZ dispenser ever!

@dweekly @haugejostein @ayirpelle Fixed it

In the age and scale of AI, Google is now like a startup that has 1mm in the bank and makes another half million a year in earnings, but needs 50mm for their plan. The Berkshire raise is like them finally doing a Series B lol.

@davidlee @TheStalwart It's not clear from the pic, where he just accepts the bet but doesn't indicate what side of it he was taking. But pretty sure he was betting against it.

[james hong @jhong]

@davidlee @TheStalwart I thought Keith was betting that there wouldn't be such a company and sheel was voting there would be.

[james hong @jhong]

@daveyokatz @sampullara More likely cops just won't bother pulling any car with nobody in the driver's seat, at all. Which is good.

[james hong @jhong]

@auren @OskiHoya3 Presuming we can maintain being a top school!

[james hong @jhong]

@johndodds I doubt they would allow you to switch fsd off on a customer rider (who happens to be you) mid job

[james hong @jhong]

@sampullara eventually society will figure it out and it'll be legal to just get in your own tesla and have it drive you home :)

[james hong @jhong]

@sampullara i mean you could technically go to the trunk or outside the car and get your keys too.. but there seem to be lines where judges are like ok, we believe the intention :)

[james hong @jhong]

@sampullara Isn't that why people put the keys outside the car or in the trunk or whaever, to minimize "actual physical control"? Most people getting DUI in the backseat still have the keys on them?

[james hong @jhong]

i mean i think it will be provable based on data logs whether you were in any form of control or not. Lets say you were letting the car drive FSD, the fact that you have the power to override and take over seems kindof like the equivalent technicality about sleeping in the car with the keys present still getting you a DUI. The equivalent of not having the keys is having the fleet have 100% control of the car?

[james hong @jhong]

@sampullara I think the main distinction is that when you release it to the fleet, you are now no longer in control of the vehicle in any way and have no way to gain control of it either.
