1️⃣When you only think about yourself ⏩generalize your perspective to others you're not practicing compassion 2️⃣You're projecting your feelings 3️⃣This will manifest an emotional conflict between my perspective & yours which is unkind ⏬ The fundamental law for leaders is Be Kind!
For people who suffer from Fibromyalgia working out is: - Painful during the workout - Painful after the workout I socialize with my personal trainer to get through the workout hour & to try to shut down the pain. Working out helps me manage my illness but it's anything but fun.

This is insane. You connect to the server and bam 50 minutes later you can remotely execute code in the server you connected to as root. Ubuntu, REHL and some versions of Amazon Linux and SUSE do not ship a patched kernel yet. thehackernews.com/2026/10/li…

I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry: - People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient - People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

Truth be told, the biggest reason most launches flop has nothing to do with the copy itself. It’s that the person writing it spent months building the product, a weekend writing the page, and roughly zero hours talking to the people they’re trying to sell to. I see it all the time with new clients. They know every feature, every module, every bonus by heart. They can talk about their product for an hour straight. But ask them what their buyer was thinking about the night before they finally decided to look for a solution, and you get silence. So the copy ends up sounding exactly like that. Stiff. Polished. Full of “comprehensive framework” and “step-by-step system” and “transform your results”. Every sentence is about the product, written in the founder’s words, for the founder’s ego. And then the launch goes live, sales don’t come, and everyone stares at the dashboard wondering what went wrong. Was it the price? The timing? The algorithm? Nah. The reason is way simpler: Nobody felt like the page was talking to them. So here’s what I do before I write a single word for a client: • Read almost every review, comment and DM their audience has ever left. The good ones, the angry ones, the weird ones • Go through sales call recordings if they have them. The objections people say out loud are gold • Lurk where their buyers hang out and complain. Reddit, Facebook groups, comment sections, wherever • Write down the exact phrases people use to describe their problem. Not my version. Theirs • Only then figure out what the product actually is to them, which is almost never what the seller thinks it is It takes days. Sometimes longer than the writing itself. Most people skip it because it feels like you’re not doing anything. But that’s where every angle that ever worked for me came from. Not from my head, and definitely not from staring at the product until something clever pops up. People don’t buy your product. They buy the version of their problem you finally put into words for them. And you can’t put it into words if you never listened. So learn to listen.

An accidently anti-Semitic AI slop ad is not what I had in my 2026 bingo. This is both horrible and hilarious.

Patch your Linux kernel in your servers and reboot them as soon as humanly possible! CVE-2026-74590 allows privilege escalation to root AND an escape hatch for untrusted VMs into the host's QEMU process. This is a bad one. reddit.com/r/StopBadBots/s/k…

Is 10²⁵ FLOPs Still the Frontier? A new Anthropic-written safety bill is circulating on Capitol Hill. Some of its ideas could be reasonable if limited to true frontier companies. As written, however, it will eventually sweep in most of Silicon Valley, damaging the startup ecosystem. The bill defines the “frontier” as any model trained on 10²⁵ FLOPs — the EU standard from 2023. Biden’s executive order, California’s SB 53, and New York’s RAISE Act used 10²⁶ (ten times more). 10²⁷ is where the frontier actually is today (e.g., GPT-6 Astra). Astra was reportedly trained on 100,000+ Grace Blackwell GPUs. A 10²⁵ model can be trained on as few as several hundred GB300 chips in three months. That is not frontier in 2026. The definition is also cumulative: it adds FLOPs from fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, or other material modifications. In practice, that captures almost all meaningful post-training — work that is becoming commonplace in the enterprise. The enterprise trend is toward thousands of smaller custom models built for specific workloads. These pose no frontier risk. Treating them as frontier systems would impose large compliance costs across corporate America for no safety gain. Dario has claimed that Anthropic designs rules to disadvantage frontier companies like his own while advantaging smaller competitors. This definition does the opposite. A stale 2023 cutoff favors incumbents who already clear the bar and can absorb the costs. It hobbles the open model ecosystem that threatens Anthropic’s pricing power. The frontier keeps moving. Any definition meant to track risk should move with it. Anthropic should clarify if they really believe 10²⁵ FLOPs represents the frontier.

Come on @github, stacking PRs is only allowed for repository contributors? Why would you kneecap this feature entirely?

I had to take a break from Twitter due to a mental health crisis. I admitted myself voluntarily to the hospital but after eight miserable days I found the treatment there inadequate so I discharged myself. Instead, tomorrow I am going to a retreat for a month to find balance.🤞✌️

Everyone tells you to disappear for 6 months to change your life. But they never tell you what to do in those 6 months. Here's what to actually do during that 6-month disappearance. A Thread.

Recently, what self-control I can muster is used to contain the rage I feel towards my abusive, mentally-ill parents. Usually, I suppress that rage and channel it into compassion but these days, I am just unable to do so. How do you remain compassionate towards your abuser?

My hands are shivering though from the effort and pain. Still worth it.

Need an idea for this weekend? How about taking some time out to reflect on how far you've come? You deserve it! If, like me, you've worked non-stop for the past two weeks, hit pause & spend time looking after your mental well-being by reflecting on your successes.

This is bad for business. You have to focus on your audience but also be inclusive to allow new opportunities to grow without you thinking about them. Thinking & feeling only from within without empathy is bad marketing since it will only attract clients who are similar to you.

I don't think you're examining the situation appropriately. They are trying to survive. Being the best is about esteem and self-actualization. People who just do a mediocre job are trying to survive, be safe and attract a mate. They don't have time to self-actualize.

Another day, another potentially successful startup idea goes to cold storage. I am focusing on giving excellent service to my clients. That's my topmost priority. You can only pivot once 90% of your time is free & your focus is committed to evaluating the downsides of the idea.
