@TheStoicEmperor @saranormous this one's for you

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@saranormous A Brief History of Intelligence by Max Bennett. One of the best books I've read in years.

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

I knocked out a few perf fixes today and am reminded yet again what an incredible tool @honeycombio is

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@stratechery If google wants to flex their AI muscle and avoid all these issues, how about a version of Maps that I can have a conversation with when it's navigating me somewhere? "Be quiet until I get onto I5", "how much slower is the 405 bridge?", etc, all seem doable and issue free.

@viksit I don't know about the details, but I do know that looking at the horizon / out the window seems to help people with it. I've even seen glasses that simulate the horizon, eg https://t.co/19cEQBesQB

I wonder if the Vision Pro has low enough latency to show a TV screen with a false horizon behind it that would let kids watch movies on car trips without getting motion sick.

@sujayakar314 @jamesacowling That's why I always blame the compiler.

@amplemarket how can I get my email out of your database if I'm not a California resident?

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

Yep.

@Pragmatic_Eng If you're really interested in this sort of thing, @jamwt and I did a podcast where we analyzed a number of outages a few years ago: https://t.co/9xlja3z0CD

My jokey solution to the Fermi paradox is that really great VR causes civilizations to plateau before they can figure out interstellar travel. But maybe not at $3500/pair.

I think CoPilot is making fun of me. Sparks of AGI?

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

Can we please make sure that whatever regulatory body we form to police AI and blow up data centers has "Turing" in the name?

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@AWSSupport I'm seeing some networking issues in us-west-2. Is that on your radar? Looks like other people are too: https://t.co/R4f3QGWsEa

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@alex_frantic @dagster You want @convex

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@realSharonZhou I really like Eames, myself. They did a ton more than just the chair: https://t.co/fLlMNQf1PD

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

I attribute all my success as a software engineer to spending way too much time looking at dashboards.

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

Twitter seems to be defaulting me to this "For you" page BS when I load the site now. Lame.

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@Suhail I use an adblocker to just remove that section of the page.

[Tom Kleinpeter @tklein]

@frgx https://t.co/sRxzDllH7q is probably the easiest.
