A key question IMO, WRT to chatgpt is: how does the world change as the marginal cost of bullshit goes to zero?

man, I've taken some time away from Twitter, and I pop back, and like all the recommendations are outrage porn. It's exhausting. It might be an addicting product, but it sure does not seem like a healthy one.

I think a small fraction of EV buyers are motivated by climate change. I think most buyers are motivated by getting a faster car, a quieter car, not going to the gas station, and less maintenance. Some affordable EVs also have lower TCO.

it's very frustrating that a year and a half after release many of scala 3's new features just don't compose. Some toy examples of them work, but if you try to use them together you easily hit issues. e.g. github.com/lampepfl/dotty/is…

If you haven’t given it a try, I recommend it. I used this tool to find people I’m already following: fedifinder.glitch.me and I have plenty (too much?) of interesting content. – at Paia, HI

I made a mastodon account years ago. I was never very interested in using it though. But today has me downloading iOS mastodon clients, and starting a few new accounts. Maybe we can recapture the feeling of the internet of a decade or more ago. – at Paia, HI

1/🧵 It's been a week. The woman in my profile pic, FrancesHesselbein, passed away yesterday — at 107. (Was still working at leadership institute she founded in NYC.) That's me w/her 👇. She's 103.5 in that pic (taken by @mkonnikova). Not. Bad. I want to share a bit about her...

Instead of making me learn a new DSL, why can't you just provide a simple library/API that lets me describe what I want in a well-known language that already has great dev tools?

Note the right wing fan base likes to talk about SpaceX because they don’t actually like electric cars or the mission to address climate change. – at Paia, HI

This is a common tactic/belief. The problem? It backfires more often than succeeds. I researched it & covered it in my book. More often: It's not the tough ones that stick around; it's the ones who have no other options. Let's look at some history and research:

Man this article reminds me that as an ex-physicist when time comes up in systems I’m building I have to make some effort not to totally spin out and look like this guy nature.com/articles/d41586-0… – at Paia, HI
