Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

I am a committed free range parent and this feels crazy. Kids, fine. Infants?! No.

After 18 months in stealth, we're ready to share what we've been building. Introducing Lull. The world's first autonomous infant mobility platform. Babies have one universal hack: they sleep when the car moves. Parents have one universal problem: they cannot drive a newborn

A new study suggests it may be possible to regenerate cartilage lost to aging or arthritis with an oral drug or local injection, rendering knee and hip replacement unnecessary. pulse.ly/z6a3o3yymj

@Austen 5 yo girl and 7yo boy. We raise them digitally Amish. They’ve watched fewer than 10 movies ever. Lots of reading Greek myths and dark shit though. They LOVE IT. Now listening to the audiobooks on drives to ski team.

My biggest argument against free will is songs getting stuck in my head. Is all this solving for myself a necessary distraction for my earthly form to carry the glorious message? “It’s gonna be gonna be golden! It’s gonna be gonna be golden!”

One thing I learned from experience is that those who do solidly well in life never, practically never, do anything in bad faith. Reduce bad faith from, say, that tiny 5% bit to 0%, and see how it works wonders. Simple advice, @__paleologo.

I remember Taleb saying somewhere in the distant past, when he was still exceptionally sane, something like "When you can do a few thing very well, you can afford a lot of mistakes". I came to appreciate this heavy-tailedness of positive payoffs only later. *Every single firm* I

Betsy and Mike have been our early adopters for the last few years. It has been a complete grind for them and us. Betsy would say, “All I want is a warm meal during harvest. I want to be able to do laundry during harvest.” For a while we had one team metric, “give Betsy dinner.” today.com/video/are-ai-o…

This is the dumbest quote. “Newtonian mechanics doesn’t fully describe planetary motion,” was an extraordinary claim that was vindicated by one observation of mercury. The scientific method is awesome BECAUSE the tiniest observation topples the juggernaut of the status quo.

It is uncanny in this era to be grateful for a politician, but Lurie is an exception. The West Coast has its Bloomberg and, yes, most people chalk up the city’s turnaround to the energy he brought to the Mayor’s office. His tenure emphasizes just how much his predecessors squandered their time there.

The last three dinner parties I’ve been at in SF, with completely non-political people, have all at some point descended into everyone exclaiming some version of “so thankful for @DanielLurie”

After years of dinners with FAANG friends, you experienced the progression of from being seen as nobody to a tier one AI company. They always joked, “Are you still working on Full Self-Driving?” Then you sat there quietly eating your own food. For many, top AI companies means hosting the biggest parties at CVPR, writing lots of papers, and have well known AI “god parents” in the org. We have none of these. Quietly, we just want to solve singular most difficult problem on Earth. This year they all have recognized Tesla is doing AI as good, if not better, as any other frontier companies, not because numbers of papers or podcasts being published, but a solid product that delivers the magic.

Certain beliefs are impervious to evidence. Money leading to better educational outcomes is one. The documentary, “Waiting for Superman” covered this nicely.

It doesn't matter how much money you put into schools. Here's a cross-sectional overview. Per pupil spending and math scores.

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

I once calculated that I could put valuables in a uber in Cape Town and have them drive around in perpetuity for less than it would cost to store it in SF. This is much better!

You can ship a 40 foot container from Belgium to China for $50 and people think capitalism is failing.

A very frustrating part of the AI Wars has been the willingness by some to ignore experts in favour of listening to those who were telling them what they wanted to hear.
