Twitter is gone, X is in its place. I have no interest in X, so I'm uninstalling. Bye bye.

$30,000 is the cost of the average wedding, 4 hours is the length of the average wedding. Taking out a $30,000 loan to pay for a 4-hour wedding is crazy to me.

This seems like OO programming all over again. Which is fine, to be clear. X-language, thin-funnel boundaries between concerns. Message passing.

If I'm starting a company, I'm putting proto defined service and RPC boundaries in place even if I'm linking everything into a single binary. I was against of this idea until lately but experience is proving me wrong.

People forgetting that ChatGPT isn't actually an intelligence, but instead a best-effort synthesizer.

When I ask ChatGPT to summarize a paper at a *particular* ArXiV URL, it totally hallucinates the title and the author names - even after multiple attempts. Am I missing something? I know I should probably be using specialized summary tools, but I just found this surprising.

She wanted to be just like her dad. Then she found out why that wasn't really a great goal.

Twitter is showing me more and more right wing stuff. No one I follow likes it or even engages with it. Musk et al seem to be designing algorithmic preference for this material. Every right wing accusation is an admission.

Cool story, in the next month or so I'm probably going to have a kidney removed!

Wow this was so long ago. And it took so much longer than I thought it would. I am now cancer-free, as far as anyone can tell. Short one kidney. Pathology report from the removed tissue was as good as could be reasonably expected.

More specifically, there was cancer in my kidney as expected, but it was not deeply invasive, and had not spread to my nearby lymph node (most-likely next victim). No further treatment planned, just surveillance!

Opportunities are everywhere! You don't need an ivy league degree if you can chance an encounter with one of the max(kind+brilliant) minds of the 20th c to be your mentor!

I went to a community college. Met Apple cofounder @stevewoz in parking lot and studied with him every day for a semester. There is opportunity everywhere. You have to find it.

Actually feeling way better than I thought I would. Not comfortable, but when I'm not moving I basically feel ok.

Recovery is going well. Today I am able to get out of bed myself. So I think I'll be able to move around the house and not be TERMINALLY BORED STUCK IN BED. My god has it been boring. I think I'll be doing a lot of lie down time still, but just the option to go somewhere...
