I guess I won't be walking to vote this morning - haha. #deercreek. Peak height at this location was 21.5FT in 2020 and last measurement at 7 AM was 22.5FT - that's a new record!

@whstancil No. That would be Trump-level unprincipled, to penalize federal suppliers based on who they supported in the election. That's what we're trying to avoid here.

Plus it would be stupid pragmatically. SpaceX and Starlink are both very good.

I’m scared to death for farmers. How can 1.5% of the population possibly stop the steamroller that plans to ban safe chemistry and genetics?

Academic ironies

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

To his credit, most essays they have you write in school are super boring. I always found them intolerable - and most students were just doing some version of ChatGPT to spam reasonable sounding sentences to hit the minimum number of pages.

Nobody ever told me that writing is a skill worth honing once you have something to say, to spread an idea or persuade, or clarify your own thinking. This made enjoy writing more as I discovered this in my 20's.

For this purpose, using the fewest number of words/sentences is best to be clear, whereas in school they accidentally taught us to be verbose to hit a minimum page requirement.

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.

Timelapse coming in a separate post.

Much appreciated from the NotebookLM team @sama! Full circle in a way because it was my writing about GPT-3 that brought me to Google in the first place.

This next phase of Copilot marks the beginning of a fundamental shift in the way we connect with technology, as we give people a more natural, conversational, and personal AI companion.
