I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

It's kind of ridiculous to keep saying that Intel microprocessors kicked off the ICT revolution when it was clearly the 6502

The number of people trying to get into my entrepreneurship class this semester is 1.5 - 2x the usual number. Since my life is all-entrepreneurship-all-the-time, I have no insight on the popular zeitgeist...are people especially-super-psyched about starting companies all of a sudden?

I've been telling people for years that LLMs won't be truly disruptive until they are so cheap to build and operate that anyone can do it. Just like how the microprocessor wasn't truly disruptive until MOS Technologies dropped the price of a 6502 to $25. Looks like we're getting there fast
