Big news: @FrameworkPuter is more than tripling its sponsorship of CachyOS, from $250/month to $10,200/year! šŸŽ‰ This helps keep our infrastructure running and brings us closer to working on CachyOS full-time. Thank you, Framework! šŸ’š discuss.cachyos.org/t/announ…

As I’ve been thinking about creating new software / companies in this age of ever-accelerating AI, a mental exercise I’ve been applying for myself and in conversation is this: What if for every prompt I type into ChatGPT, I: * Had a $100k budget for it to execute * Could let it iterate until finished or out of budget * Could rely on it running 1000x faster than it does right now 20 years ago I imagined things like ā€œwhat if we could use disk as if it was free?ā€ What if we had virtually unlimited memory? These things seemed unreasonable until (very soon afterward) they weren’t.

As coronavirus infections tick up across the U.S., there is a lot of confusion about if, and when, to wear a mask. In this 🧵 I’ll demistify it for you.

Once or twice a week, I drop this legendary gif into a slack chat to make a point about latency. Usually when talking about UX, network services, or feedback cycle time in people systems.

Without a genuine sense of curiosity it’s difficult to see solutions, even when they’re standing right in front of you.

A few years ago @CapitolPolice arrested more than 150 peaceful protesters, many of them sexual assault survivors, using their 1st amendment right to protest the Kavanaugh nomination. I haven't been able to find one report or photo of any marauders or looters arrested today.

One thing this whole "remote work" is missing is if you don't have good standards of management & reasonable levels of trust your team that barely functions in an office will fully disintegrate when they aren't faced with regular reminders of each other's existence and humanity.
