@Indian_Bronson We need to build our own FSD to ease the friction of our daily lives and free us up to do more creative things.

@JoseRomanB57687 @QuantumTumbler This is the same story of Intel. Jobs went to Ottoleni to make chips for the iPhone and Ottoleni worried about Intel's existing IP.

A conversation with Ed Catmull, founder of Pixar. I've been making podcasts about Ed for over 8 years. He invited me to his home and told incredible stories from his 60 year career. Ed worked with Steve Jobs longer than anyone else — for more than a quarter century. We talked about what he learned from Steve, the founding of Pixar, building a company at the intersection of art and technology, why getting the team right is the necessary precursor to getting the idea right, and so much more.

Ed is full of hard-earned practical wisdom. Spending time with someone I’ve studied for almost a decade was awesome.

I hope you listen.

@javier078 Don't be a mind reader.

@SandyofCthulhu By first learning to use both joysticks on a controller my 5 year old figured how to ride a bike, then went on to fight two Guardians and one big Yiga boss simultaneously in BoTW.
Cinema can't compete.

In case you missed it, here’s a raw from “The Fall of Icarus”

It was captured in monochrome due to the narrow bandpass needed to get atmospheric details on the sun

I can’t describe the feeling the moment I saw this on the screen.

@javier078 @enidzilla What's the argument in favor of VHS today?

@Mangan150 Add to that when you buy clothes in Costco, you only get XL, XXL.
Rarely do you get an M, almost never an S.

@Mangan150 What body fat percentage composition should we target?

And is that grok prompt you posted earlier a reliable way to measure body fat composition?

@QuantumTumbler Doesn't the formation of matter after the Big Bang violate the law of Entropy?

@robin_j_brooks According to Grok, you are one of only 4 people who predicted that a US blockade would work.
That's why I started following you.
I've learned a lot from your blog.

Thanks 👍

@adamscrabble I did not take any of this so called science seriously because Scott was by my side.

[Pranabesh @prnbs]

@adamscrabble Scott was paid in what manner?

How is it that you were right? Are you very smart or lucky?
