For this particular case I’d want it to be even less creative. I want it to be able to make designs that just use cabinets that are available to buy, and it should know where to source them and what they cost. And only show me lights that r

My understanding: what’s great about Webb is that it can take pictures in the infrared. It has to be really cold to do this, hence the big complicated heat shield. Infrared let’s us see things that are further away, because when something’s

You only need a universe the size of a data center with nothing in it but a bit of vacuum fluctuation that causes particles to appear sometimes. Then just wait.

My idea is we should regulate a lot of online services like we do landlords. I remember years ago Microsoft thought someone was pirating their software so they started reading their emails looking for evidence. That seemed wrong to me. A la

In my first BillG review when I was a PM on the Windows team, he called me a “dirty liar”. It’s was awesome. I think he said “dirty” because he was making an effort to be nicer and say “fuck” less, and I think he caught himself mid-sentenc

Using VCs as an accountability partner is interesting. He should have taken investments from not already rich supporters, to feel even more motivated not to let them down.

Chain emails were common, and were mostly just annoying. But some would ask you to send money in exchange for getting much more sent to you later.

“If you hold one grain of sand at arms length”.. it would be about as big as this image they’re showing onscreen. I don’t love this picture-in-picture-in-picture-in-picture effect.

They’re saying that if everyone just did what they agreed to do: - Musk would give Twitter shareholders $44B in cash, - Twitter shareholders would give Musk ownership of the company. Note that today, Twitter is worth $28B. So the agreed de

Personally I don’t agree. I used to eat meat, then decided it was evil, then later stopped eating meat. There was a long time there where I kept doing it out of habit and laziness even though I thought it was wrong.
