Set is ready @ElonMusk

We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice.

Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization.

My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

Good game of footy.

Nearly every recent major decision in the sports world is based on what can make the most cash, not what is best for fans.

The decision to not have the World Cup shown at Fed Square is actually one of the stupidest things I can remember.

@robertrioux Thanks for all of your work. My advice to all coders is: do great work using the best tools available and ignore the haters and trolls.

What a load of hogwash. A draw is a result. Both teams have two hours to win, if they can’t do so, then tough luck! It’s been around for 130 years but because some people want to Americanise the sport even more, we should just do away with what is a fantastic, traditional aspect of the game? Give me a spell. The only reason extra time exists in finals is for practicality. You can’t replay the game the next week and make all other teams have a week off. And it sure as hell felt like a win for the Hawks tonight more than it did the Pies!

Something I've been thinking about - I am bullish on people (empowered by AI) increasing the visibility, legibility and accountability of their governments.

Historically, it is the governments that act to make society legible (e.g. "Seeing like a state" is the common reference), but with AI, society can dramatically improve its ability to do this in reverse. Government accountability has not been constrained by access (the various branches of government publish an enormous amount of data), it has been constrained by intelligence - the ability to process a lot of raw data, combine it with domain expertise and derive insights. As an example, the 4000-page omnibus bill is "transparent" in principle and in a legal sense, but certainly not in a practical sense for most people. There's a lot more like it: laws, spending bills, federal budgets, freedom of information act responses, lobbying disclosures... Only a few highly trained professionals (investigative journalists) could historically process this information. This bottleneck might dissolve - not only are the professionals further empowered, but a lot more people can participate.

Some examples to be precise: Detailed accounting of spending and budgets, diff tracking of legislation, individual voting trends w.r.t. stated positions or speeches, lobbying and influence (e.g. graph of lobbyist -> firm -> client -> legislator -> committee -> vote -> regulation), procurement and contracting, regulatory capture warning lights, judicial and legal patterns, campaign finance... Local governments might be even more interesting because the governed population is smaller so there is less national coverage: city council meetings, decisions around zoning, policing, schools, utilities...

Certainly, the same tools can easily cut the other way and it's worth being very mindful of that, but I lean optimistic overall that added participation, transparency and accountability will improve democratic, free societies.

Valve: 350 employees
Epic Games: 4,000 employees

Valve: $17B annual revenue
Epic Games: $5-6B

Valve charges devs 30% of their revenue for simply listing their game.

Epic Games charges devs 0% revenue share on the first $1,000,000

Valve is one of the greediest companies in gaming. You cannot be pro valve and be pro developer at the same time.
