"I know what it's like to be unknown and to not have the lights on you and to want to be seen ..." This was incredible from @Dame_Lillard 👏

Can we PLEASE normalize just hanging out at each other’s houses again? Why does every friendship meetup need to be a whole production, a restaurant reservation, and a $150 bill? I just want to sit on your couch, drink something, and talk for hours.

Quantum is poised to become a multi-trillion dollar industry in the next few years. We think New Yorkers should share in that profit. That's why we negotiated that New Yorkers get board seats and a 15% stake of intellectual property that comes out of NYU's Quantum Fabrication facility. Because all New Yorkers should benefit from the economic success of this city.
Breaking News: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is making a $30 million investment to build a quantum research lab at New York University. In exchange, the city will receive 15% of any proceeds from intellectual property developed in that lab. nyti.ms/4jUe7GD

Your circle can either normalize excuses or make growth unavoidable

My daughter's middle school has the most direct fundraising strategy and I'm here for it. We can skip the whole charade.

Atrophy is a choice. Machines play chess better than we do, but we still play and reap many benefits from it. Let AI perform tasks, but never stop challenging your mind, or yourself.
We created gyms because modern day work no longer required physical activity. Without exercise, our muscles atrophy. I predict we’ll need gyms for our brains too, once AI starts doing our knowledge work.

One of the worst feelings in life is knowing you're meant for more and doing nothing about it.

Striving for high ideals doesn’t mean we won’t fall short. Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella says it’s about acknowledging the gap — then aiming to close it. “We’re always going to be imperfect,” he says. “The question is: Are we working to bridge that gap?”

Testing and evaluation is how serious science moves forward. Microsoft’s topological quantum system is now on site in Maryland, where DARPA will put the hardware through its paces. Here’s why that matters for the path to quantum at scale: msft.it/6002a9E7a

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it. Pay the cost of entry with pride. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.
