I am deeply proud we stood our ground on the two crucial red lines to not have our models be used for mass domestic surveillance of Americans and not for autonomous weapons. Being the first ever US company to be designated as a Supply Chain Risk is worth defending our principles.

I am excited to announce an advanced MCP unit I built at @AnthropicAI in partnership with @ben_burtenshaw at @huggingface . In Unit 3 you build an MCP server, which makes templated PRs and watches GitHub CI action results, posting Slack notifications about them.
Brand new MCP Course has units are out, and now it's getting REAL! We've collaborated with Anthropic to dive deep into production ready and autonomous agents using MCP This is what the new material covers and includes: - Use Claude Code to build an autonomous PR agent - Integrate your agent with Slack and Github to integrate it with you Team - Get certified on your use case and share with the community - Build an autonomous PR cleanup agent on the Hugging Face hub and deploy it with spaces

Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters. It cannot be mistaken for anything else. It can never be given away to anyone. Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!

The average 30-year mortgage rate jumped last week by 0.33 percentage point to 5.98%. That's the highest level since November 2008, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. It was the largest one-week increase in rates since 2009. mba.org/news-and-research/ne…

PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".

If you are an investor or in the music space, you should talk to my friend Don Cody. Don is a friend thinking through a startup idea and would love to talk. Don produced Tony Bennett and worked with other big names. #music #entrepreneurship #startup #musicians #musicindustry

Important lessons in your career can come from brief interactions with effective leaders. I had one of those interactions with Charlie Bell at Amazon 20 years years ago, and I've never forgotten it. Here's what happened:

I am #fundraising for #cancer research and will be competing in my first #BJJ competition to raise funds on June 5. I am just a short $312 of the goal - merely 31%. Contribute: wecan.tapcancerout.org/fundr…

Massive returns comes from believing things people think are stupid until it’s no longer stupid, which is why immunity to embarrassment is such an important superpower for founders and investors.

Maybe, just maybe, if I live long enough, I will see us travel readily within our solar system and beyond.
A story of @DoorDash’s road to IPO from one of its very early employees is great stuff!

This is very similar in principle to what Steve Jobs used to say about the bolts that no one sees inside the macs needing to be perfect.
"Someone once asked me why McDonald’s is so successful. I said ‘our bathrooms are always clean.’ ‘Sure,’ he said, ‘But that’s easy.’ ‘Well,’ I replied, ‘Are your bathrooms clean?’" - Ray Kroc

One of the strange consequences of reading so much history is that you start to be able to imagine what a historian would write about your own time. It's alarmingly easy to imagine a future historian writing "As China's power grew, America was paralyzed by internal dissension."
