So funny that this came out within a week of an article claiming that literally everyone has heard Choosin' Texas.

Last weekend we saw local legend, (friend and neighbor) three time Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito at Davies Symphony Hall, performing with the Sam Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Ran into the legendary Boots Riley (rapper turned prolific director) in the lobby afterward. I love Oakland!
Man in a red jacket in front of an orchestra. SF Symphony with Fantastic Negrito, audience giving standing ovation Nine people who REALLY enjoyed the show

I just listened to PTFO's entire series on the Ballmer/Leonard saga. There were a couple of episodes of Mark Cuban pushing back on the reporting...and it became very clear that Cuban doesn't trust reporting because he doesn't trust journalists. It's because of shit like this.

Was it only a year ago that she thought it was pronounced "a one?" Something tells me that she hasn't become much more of an expert since then...

I do keep one USB-A -> USB-C cord in my bag as well. In fact, my go-to adaptor is an Anker with two USB-C and one USB-A ports.

It was fun because two years ago, I was sitting with Leslie Lee and her colleagues at Squid AI and I remember it was the FIRST time I heard anyone use "agent" and "agentic." Of course, in the last six months... It's practically all we hear about. Leslie crystallizes it beautifully.

In every episode of I/O You an Explanation, I sit down with an expert to talk about a technology...not to go super deep, but because the best experts can simplify things so everyone can understand. This week, I sit down with Leslie Lee to learn about agents! youtu.be/kVRwjI_PPbE

I know you're right...but I also just see the other side. It is amazing that I don't have to bring 6 adaptors on business trips. BTW, when I was at Google there was an employee who, on his own time, reviewed USB-C cables on Amazon as a public service by testing against the standard. Important work!

USB-C is the best technology in so long. I bring ONE type of adaptor on business trips now (to charge my computer, my phone, my tablet, my earbuds, my watch, my headphones). I'm sitting in a meeting right now using my Mac and am borrowing the cord from a ThinkPad user. Standards win.

If I fire a gun in my apartment and, despite my not intending it to happen, that bullet goes through a wall and does damage in my neighbor's apartment... I'm liable for those damages (criminally and civilly).

Nearly every hack in history was a person starting a computer program and that program gaining access to systems. That's exactly what happened here (albeit more steps in between).

This is ALL of us. We ALL know how short dogs' lives are, we all know how painful it is when they die...and we get them anyway. The joy they bring is worth the pain (or, maybe, the pain of loss is commensurate to the joy). Dog stories all end the same. We love them because they're US.

hey none of my business, don't mean to be a nitpicker but... ..."AN single bag" not "A single bag?" Maybe it's your creative bending of the spacetime of grammatical rules that won you those lentils!

One time a colleague was sharing his screen and opened a google screen, started to type "what" and the immediate auto-complete was "what is a bigot" and I wondered who had called him that.

Personally, I think that Roger Waters knew that "we don't need no education" is a double negative and, in fact, the song was actually telling everyone to stay in school.

Can't wait to listen. I hope they point it that the agents in the OPEN I/HuggingFace embroglio did the exact same thing!

Yep. I had a couple of days in London, spent yesterday with customers and partners in Reykjavik, and tonight I'll sleep in my own bed (travel gods willing!).

Good luck today! The Iceland Air strike sure isn't making the airport less hectic...I was able to change on a United flight and will make it home. I hope BA takes care of you!

My wife texted me from Costco "It's decorative gourd season, motherfucker!" and I came home to these. God bless McSweeney's.
Three mesh bags each with five small decorative gourds. Brick steps leading to a house with three large pumpkins and 5 large decorative gourds

The truest thing Trump ever said was that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose a single supporter. It's true. Spike inflation? No worries. Said no wars? No problem. Explode the deficit? It's OK if Trump does it. Corruption? A-OK. Corrupt sons? 👌

I wonder if she ever asked him who is setting those policies that he hates so much. Or about his feelings about Trump. Or Republicans in Congress who refuse to put a check on his policies.
