Welcome to the team

[Josh Pate @JoshPateCFB]

This paragraph from @MattBrownEP is excellent & yet will fly completely over the head of the intended audience

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

Far too generous, it's really closer to something like this.

60-80F, a lower dewpoint, and a max cloud cover rule.

@daryakaviani @AnthropicAI Congrats Darya!!

[Kushagra Srivastava @kushagras481]

@matei_zaharia @omnigent_ai Interesting! Curious about how robust the policies are against exploits. For example, can an adversary manipulate the tracked session state itself?

"The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”

[Matthew McConaughey @McConaughey]

bets still on the table America, yet.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Love this re-imagining of America’s founding using Docs, Gmail, Calendar and more from @GoogleWorkspace. Really puts the history in version history :)

[LASIK.com @LASIKdotcom]

Still offering all @FIFAWorldCup refs free LASIK...

The 1st Amendment never contemplated mass media reaching billions in seconds.

The 2nd never contemplated firearms capable of firing dozens of rounds without reloading.

The 4th never contemplated a phone holding a decade of your private life.

We don't treat any of those as grounds to shrink the right.

Scale changing isn't grounds to infringe on people's liberty.

@ravi_riley @circle @openstandard Much needed competition needed to break up the duopoly 🙌🙌🙌

[Ike Shehadeh 👑🥪 @IkeShehadeh]

Yo, @KingJames. Sign with the @warriors & not only will we design a sandwich together and eat FREE @ikessandwiches for life, but I'll put your face next to mine just down the street from Chase center. Let's wreck this league.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

The US Constitution was the most important political innovation ever, but it's missing two important things:

1) A cap on the growth of government spending
2) A requirement for hard-backed currency

Without them, every democracy drifts toward more debt and eventual loss of reserve currency status (see The Changing World Order). The US is $39T in debt, and adding $1T roughly every 100 days, with interest payments now exceeding the defense budget. There is no mechanism to stop it.

Politicians get elected by promising free stuff using other people's money. Some voters get a benefit today, while the negative impact of the spending goes to future generations who can't vote yet. The incentive structure is broken.

What fixes it? A new constitution somewhere on the frontier (Mars, special economic zones, cyberspace), an amendment that aligns incentives in the current system (politically challenging), or hyper economic growth (AI + robotics + crypto) to outpace inflation.

I'm convinced that it’s perfectly ok to live a life that looks confusing to others. Wake up early. Do hard things. Focus deeply. Eat real foods. Go on walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Avoid drama. Save money. Never gossip. Love your people. Recipe for a good life.

[Kushagra Srivastava @kushagras481]

Very bullish on Etched.

[Etched @Etched]

We're coming out of stealth.

We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.

Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.

Our first racks ship this summer.

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

[Kushagra Srivastava @kushagras481]

Hilariously true how hard this process was. As a proud Indian-American, cmon we gotta be doing better here!

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Before you read this article, grab a glass of water and a paracetamol. Walk over to your laptop—the supercomputer in your hand is not up to the task—and see if you can figure out how to apply online for an Indian visa. We’ll wait https://t.co/1sFnvOl2fb

For multi-agent orchestration and simply a "I want to have everything in one place" vibe, use cmux. @manaflowai has done an amazing job building it out.
