@eladgil I remember half jokingly talking about the singularity with you in San Mateo 17 years ago. It's getting close

@sampullara @heysaik I never did figure out how to dictate the word "period"

Guys could use an indicator like this

@nichochar @MaorShlomo @Base44 Was curious what the difference was between base 44 and get mocha. Gemini says: Choose Mocha to test a concept by tomorrow; choose Base44 if you need a reliable, full-stack foundation for a business app next week. Mocha is half the monthly price.

Is that accurate?

@BobrovCooked @heeney_luke Have you been on the new caltrains? They're quiet like electric cars

@MrBeast Would editing the likes temporarily go against X company policy?

Oh I just noticed Palo Alto has one of these. Any chance to get one of those for Tamien?

[Tom Wuttke (tomw.bsky.soc) @tw]

@Caltrain how often is the station at Tamien hosed down for urine? I was surprised how the odor encompasses almost the entire public space. Downstairs upstairs all along the benches. By contrast, the Palo Alto station smells great

@noahlt I also tell people to vote even if you don't care about the election because resources get allocated to places that vote more than places that don't

@sberens @Stammy @brighterlamp @cursor_ai @midjourney @circlebackai If you have it turned on at 100%, you're not going to be looking directly at it. I was thinking I should get some for the other corners to make the entire room a summer day

@sampullara @BellikOzan I remember the first time in college I was doing a physics problem where I had to calculate something for a pool where the depth was changing and I thought how can you calculate one thing when another thing is changing? And then I thought wait minute, isn't that like calculus?

@olshansky I couldn't even get AI to give me a straight answer

[Tom Wuttke (tomw.bsky.soc) @tw]

@svpino I'm at the point where I prefer to have a book read to me by AI, especially 11 Labs because then I can change the voice and the speed and the tone and all kinds of stuff. Just like with a Kindle you can change the font. But written? Probably not

@sampullara I could maybe stand it if the translucency was less or blurry across the whole pop-up, especially while your focus was in the search box. Is the point of glass so you can see stuff underneath in case you need to refer to it?

@svpino I recall a lot of time spent revising design docs, getting sign off from other devs, code reviews, stand-up meetings, working with other teams, arguing about priorities, estimating time, mandatory compliance meetings, meetings about meetings, writing unit tests, merge conflicts

@FlySJC can you update Google maps to label your new cell phone parking lot? Also, there's very poor signage at the airport to find this, especially near the Southwest terminal areas. Thank you

@jzux The number one song in 1983 was "Every breath you take." Pretty sure that activity would get a man arrested now

People getting fired after posting divisive takes on recent events even when they had that disclaimer "My opinions are my own, not that of my employer." So maybe don't bother?
