Really need to teach my kids who these musicians are BEFORE they die

@_ARahim_ @zenilos @ngxson Nice, one-vector-per-page is clever, well done.

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

Just don't lose in the play-in game.

@migueldeicaza This is great, ty!

@heyCasperKelly where can we find Yule Log? It’s not on Max anymore?

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

sure, we could pave the desert with cheap solar, but no, let’s have tech bros Dunning-Kruger the entire fucking atmosphere.

[nic carter @nic_carter]

almost every smart person I talk to in tech is in favor of aerosolized sulfates to increase the earth's albedo in order to deal with climate change. people are absolutely fed up with the lefty approach of using climate as a pretextual cudgel to install socialism.

Let’s get this over with

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

I keep hearing from executives that they expect that a new generation of "AI natives" will show them how to use AI. I think this is a mistake:
1) Our research shows younger people do not really get AI or how to integrate into work
2) Experienced managers are often good prompters

Goodbye to the best dog ever.

Hoping to see David become a multi-year single-issue poster on the topic of this one truck

[David Tracy @davidntracy]

This is the article you’ve been waiting for. Let’s dive into the hardware of the new #Scout!

@ESYudkowsky Break the task down and give it one small thing at a time. It’ll still fail! Give it multiple tries with different seeds. Treat it like an intern & calibrate your expectations accordingly. Some interns don’t get asked back.

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

@ESYudkowsky Having low standards goes a long way

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

First thought was "why?" but honestly update this to SF techbros and it could be as iconic as the original.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Luca Guadagnino to direct ‘AMERICAN PSYCHO’ movie.

Reminder to y’all

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

I suspect most people don’t have good intuition about falling from the sky… but yes, I was once called a hero for fixing a physics engine and all I did was double the gravity constant and recompile

[Fear the Phantom (game in bio) @Phantom_TheGame]

I always wondered why games almost never use realistic gravity.

Turns out realistic gravity just seems way too floaty.

Does anyone know why? Maybe we're just not used to actually falling such distances?

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

Waited so long for these cool kid-haulers, I no longer think they’re cool nor do my kids need hauling

[Jason Torchinsky @JasonTorchinsky]

Man, Fresno sure is a lovely city

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

Just sitting on the porch hey what’s this

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

Yeah but like ignore them? Like the Greek system in colleges, it has its own internal politics and leaderboard but no bearing on actual success. Just build your thing and make it great. Half the people who go to events in SF are strivers who can’t build anything.

[Alina ❤️ gamifying life @alinamade_]

"this incentivizes morally flexible behavior, trapping these previously untainted ambitious people into a caricature of aggressively self-serving justifiers of material success."

I love SF but this is also my biggest annoyance.

[Rob Terrell @robterrell]

I’m telling my kids this is “founder mode”

[Spoon & Tamago @Johnny_suputama]

competitive daydreamers gathered in Tokyo today for the “2024 Space-out Competition”

Heart rates were checked and anyone who laughs, talks or dozes off was eliminated during the 90 min competition.
