What an incredibly cool idea. And it’s beautiful

I'm beyond thrilled to make two pretty substantial announcements:

1. We just released a brand new open source Guardrails Hub, with 50+ validators and more coming!
2. We raised a round of seed funding round to execute on our vision of open source AI reliability

My #DIMO #AutoPi arrived today! I’ve been following @DIMO_Network for some time and I’m excited about how it brings internal vehicle data to the owner. Maybe soon I’ll be able to call out the car dealership for changing that “dirty” carbon air filter!

After finally watching Portlandia, I now understand, over a decade later, why my high school girlfriend’s dad enjoyed it so much.

I’ve started to notice a pattern of Canadian artists writing musical references to Jim Carrey (cc @ThisIsValley @Charlottecardin )

@zacharylipton @AbridgeHQ What kind of reaction would proud mom have to such news?

[Zachary Lipton @zacharylipton]

Look mom, we made the paper!

Exciting time for the team at @AbridgeHQ.

My dog has learned that whenever I put on something other than sweatpants and a t-shirt, either: 1) We are going outside or 2) I am leaving the house without him. He can even tell that nicer clothes mean I’m leaving as opposed to us just going outside to walk.

Shopify functions (powered by wasm) is to your business logic/backend what Liquid templates/React are to your storefronts/frontend.

Make the important easy, and everything else possible.

Shout out to the @Georgian_io community!

[zehra ✨ @zehranaqvi]

VCs/investors who run the best communities?

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

@sergialmar — Will @wasm_io have a training/tutorials/labs component for people interested in getting started with #wasm #webassembly ?

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

Finished #TheRehearsal. @nathanfielder is a genius.

I’m excited for the rollout of the new @porterairlines jets & accompanying routes starting in February. We need more competition in Canada in order to drive more affordable prices for domestic air travel. We’re miles behind European countries in this respect. #flyporter

@ThisIsValley topped my #SpotifyWrapped this year as my most listened to artist

Do people still buy/use fridge magnets?

But let’s get to the root of the problem here: identity verification. The rental car company most likely wants a photo copy of my drivers license and wants to see who I say I am. Another use case for #verifiablecredentials (shout out to @trinsic_id )

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

Another problem with the rental car industry: this one, courtesy of @alamo @alamocares. Person A rents car going to see me (in another city). Yet if I want to be an additional driver on the car, I need to be there at the rental counter which would require me to travel 🧵

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

to that city. In which case, why would they even rent the car in the first place!

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

Oh this happened a while back. Just happened to be watching Seinfeld and 100% related to it, thanks to you, @Enterprise

[Will Callaghan @willcallag]

This episode aired in 1991. More than 30 years later and the rental car industry still doesn’t know how to hold a reservation (I’m talking to you @Enterprise ). https://t.co/Di66NmcKFh
