I spent $500 to drive as a cow and I'm not disappointed.

I wish to someday love a programming language as much as Bill Gates loves BASIC.

Heartbreaking news. I have loved Polygon's work over the years. Sad to see it go.

In the end, the real Dynamicland was the friends we made along the way.

Are we giving Nathan Fielder too much power? This man is a menace. The Rehearsal S2E1 was fantastic btw.

New goal for 2025: get a StreetPass. Hopefully as organically as possible. I'm not going to meet up with you just for a StreetPass.

Walking around Midvale today has reminded me that it's truly a car's world and we're just living in it.

Even to the extent that I love this book, I always forget how full of gold it is. Hoping to get through it again on my trip this week.

"Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you can't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand For the times, they are a-changin'"

in this case

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

How AI is sold: "It will chop your carrots perfectly!" How I experience it: It sort of chopped my carrots but now I have to figure out how to explain it just right to get it to chop my carrots correctly. Just give me a knife and some classes, please.

Looks like Apple's Machine Learning Research team is having fun. Pixar would be proud. machinelearning.apple.com/research/ele...

Jack Welch flavored MBAs are a scourge on America. Shareholders should not be the highest priority stakeholder. These people don't deserve power.
