The guy is a billionaire leading one of the most important tech companies on the planet, trying to post a company-defining tweet, but he can't find a charger for his laptop. Sure, buddy, we believe you...

And I tried to go 48 hours without math and couldn’t do it. I stepped out my front door and saw a dog, then 2 dogs—game over right there.

Maximizing benefits and minimizing risks sounds great until you realize many things benefit some people while harming others---does that count as a benefit or a risk? This max'ing stuff is a marketing slogan that masks the true complexities and tradeoffs.

I'm really excited about this upcoming event! There's lots of opportunities to hear authors talk about their work, but here we also go the behind-the-scenes: how to become a pop math/science author, what works, what doesn't---lots of tips and stories on becoming a writer!

Went to my local library, found a nice spot to sit down and work, then saw this sitting beside me. I can only hope it’s satire.

Fascinating contrast here: China shuts down many AI services during finals week to limit student use, U.S. tech co's make premium AI services free for students during finals week. One is the overly strict parent and the other is the drug dealer preying on the weak.

What does it say about a company and its leadership that it's now practically an annual tradition to publish a damning tell-all insider book?
