Everyone has limited resources. How does a litigator decide which cases to pick? I asked based on my extensive knowledge, drawn from the TV show Billions. In the latest This Is Not Advice episode, (🎤!) @dohamekki.bsky.social tells us how they did it at the DOJ.

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

The Resonant Computing Manifesto

Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

In a world with AI, what will it take for people to thrive in their jobs? The only way to find out is to try. The first step: unveiling the National Academy for AI Instruction, a teacher training center led by the American Federation of Teachers, with support from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic.

Typically, when a VC says they’re being transparent, it’s right before they admit they’re investing in your competitor. “Just to be honest…” TBPN asked me what it means to run the “most transparent venture fund”, and it comes back to who our customers are. (Founders!) To us, transparency means:

“Meet your founders where they are” took me to TBPN, to announce our new fund. While Fund 5 is the first fund we rang in with a gong, it’s also the same as Funds 4, and 3, and 2 and 1… fresh capital in service of our customers, the founders. 1/2

AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID.

"They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.
