View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

Wow, diffusion models (used in AI image generation) are also game engines - a type of world simulation.

By predicting the next frame of the classic shooter DOOM, you get a playable game at 20 fps without any underlying real game engine.

This video is from the diffusion model.

It’s not enough to experience. One needs to intentionally look back and reflect. Reflection transforms experiences into valuable lessons.

#JIRA is one of the most unnecessarily complicated pieces of software that is strangely also very commonly used by many businesses. In my experience, the time and effort one needs to config JIRA to do the most basic things is not worth the benefits.
