Me after every social interaction

me, code isn't working: "I hate this. I should change professions. Going to live in a cave."

me, code works now: "This is amazing. I can do anything. Superlative experience, 10/10"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can schedule teams messages and outlook messages so that they arrive on Monday if someone is out for thanksgiving week and it's not urgent

seems like a lovely person.

It’s pronounced Christmas jifts

I really liked this movie when i saw it. Made me give a big hug to my cats when I got home.

I have a feeling that, paradoxically, when model change rate is lower efficiency grains will be higher as things are stable enough to look for optimizations.

Greatest comeback still possible!

Across all the planets in the milky way the average number of trees per planet is at least 30

Custom instructions in ChatGPT, Claude, etc, are a huge surface area for pranks. Get someone’s unlocked laptop, slip in a little something, ruin their ability to make good decisions about their life.

Give me your best plots for the F1 2 movie.

The curse falls on Sonny, who becomes a zombie obsessed with brains and racing.

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

My wife has been working 7 days a week for the last month, and her app is just two days away from launch. Based on their trajectory they’re a few thousand downloads away from ranking in the top 10 of the entire App Store. Can you do what I promise will be an enjoyable favor and preorder the game?

I’m always curious to ask: for what?

Strangely, as soon as I unplug the device it cools off?

Anyone else's MacBook Pro (M1) started 'hot bagging', and unlocking with their watch *when closed*? I notice it this week that if I plug it in, evne wiht ~100% charge, and get warm And today it unlocked when I plugged it in. With the lid closed. 😬

In my first stint (14 years), I did 11 times! once per year since I came back! (well, ’building i go to when i’m not in my home cave’)

Think of every meeting as an opportunity to figure out how to NOT have that meeting again.
