@ScienceCorp_ I'm still nowhere near home and I'm going to miss another connection in Nice now 😔
I guess it's not a big deal but getting home was high on my list of things to do today, probably number 1

[Marcus Simon @Mx_JSx]

Working at @ScienceCorp_ is incredible. I try to get to alameda a few times a year and I'm always blown away by the work going on, the sheer audacity of the problems were trying to solve and the genius of my colleagues.
The travel though, the travel is not ready, it's never as glamorous as it seems.
Today I left SFO at 8.10am to get back to brussels 7am on Sunday, i had a connection in Montreal.
At Montreal the weather was so bad that the ground crews couldn't work, too much lightning. We waited four hours on the apron and by the time we deplaned my flight home had gone.
Thanks to a very helpful @AirCanada customer service person at the desk in the connections hall I'm now waiting to fly home via Nice. If all goes well I'll be there at 3pm, 8 hours late but I'll be so happy to get there!

@garrytan It is interesting. The selection system favouring kids from "aspitational' families won't die easily but....

@maxhodak_ @DeryaTR_ @AnthropicAI I remember Opus 4.7 being like this for a few weeks.

[Marcus Simon @Mx_JSx]

One year ago, roughly, @maxhodak_ interviewed me.
I wanted to be head of market access for his company, science. He wanted me to be head of market access for his company, science. We talked, it was that kind of interview.
Max asked the normal sign off question "do you have any questions for me?"
As usual when an interview has gone OK I didn't have burning questions so I just said:
"Do you really want to be a medical device company?"
He smiled and said "like, yeah. Of course"
New here we are...

@PaulTassi Companies hold hard on these kinds of decisions, they are not overnight decisions or to test reactions of the consumer base. They are firm and unmovable. Companies are not politicians, they are rarely swayed by public opinion

[Marcus Simon @Mx_JSx]

@maxhodak_ That's the hope. My son still seems to have difficulty knowing which day of the week it is so he'll need all the help he can get!

@bryan_johnson What's fascinating is how fast the change happens. All your good habits can be demolished by biologic drives prompted by hormone changes in just a few hours.

@Kekius_Sage Is not the end of everything, just of a consciousness. There's kinda a lot of those though so 🤷

@Kekius_Sage How could it not be?

Tennis player Rafa Jodar SHOVES the ball girl out of the way.

He should never play another tennis match again in his life.

What a loser. https://t.co/h6a3RQ8H0a

@garrytan It's a question of economics then G. Is it cheaper for the human to hold the context, create and direct or to have the model do it? I find the human keeps the model fresh and guessing, the two together make the juice

[Marcus Simon @Mx_JSx]

@maxhodak_ Pics or it didn't happen 😂

[Marcus Simon @Mx_JSx]

@robccfc You have the one with the tin tin rocket too then?

What key principles should govern the rights of BCI patients? Our Chief Legal Officer Alex Feerst wrote about it here https://t.co/WvDi8UIhVP. Today he is joined by Science's Director of BCI Research Emma Zhou at The Cognitive Frontier in San Francisco to discuss.

@maxhodak_ Didn't the tri solarans suffer multiple planetary wide catastrophes folding their computers down through the dimensions to create the three sophons? Or am I remembering it wrong?

@garrytan This is such a natural progression for anyone who started using LLMs this year. We're all building our own operating systems now.
Your so right that this makes work fun again

I gave up destiny because I felt it was incredibly unfair that to reach levels to do top tier content you had to play 50 hours a week.i didn't mind the quests to get weapons like ace of spades and thorn and outbreak perfection etc. But when it became just multiple hours to be able to do a raid with your friends I gave up. I won't buy marathon for the same reasons. It does feel unfair that to play a game you have to play hours and hours every week. I have a job, I need to exercise, I have a social life i enjoy. Destiny wanted me to give all of that up, which is stupid
