"I agree with the sentiment in this post. The world has changed and now those changes are just starting to percolate through the system. Schools are not designed to teach the things that will matter in the future. Most parents (possibly me included) are not equipped for this either. You cant teach grit curiosity and passion. Some of that is innate and some of that is from learned experiences. It is a brave new world for the next generation to navigate.

"This UI from @Apple misses something critical. It doesn't show the symbol for the Enter key at the end of the string of numbers.

"Two tips that everyone on a Mac should know as these are very simple productivity hacks: [--]. Go to System Settings - Keyboard and max out your Key repeat rate and Delay until repeat settings. This will make your computer feel faster and more responsive especially if you use the arrow keys and tabs a lot. [--]. Go to System Settings - Displays and then max out your screen resolution to as much as your eyes will allow. More screen space gives you more productivity. (And if youre crazy like me try using EasyRes to drive the screen resolution even beyond what the Mac default settings will allow.)"

"@villi @Tesla You are clearly a better driver than me. My mind wanders as I think about random stuff while driving and FSD is amazing because I can do that much more safely today than I could before. Its the same reason why Im grateful for rumble strips too :-)"

"@villi @Scobleizer @Tesla It is. It is better than a human for 99% of the drive. The only 1% I still do is pulling in and out of my garage and the gate at @TheK9Kennel. All through San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area I rely on FSD and it is amazing"

"@jasonlk @saastrfund Most enterprise deals take 3-6 months to close. So does that imply that all this revenue is coming from credit card purchases from individuals (some of who potentially work for companies) 🤔"

"Tesla FSD14 drive me all the way from Palo Alto to San Jose and back. On the way back I barely noticed that there was something on the edge of the road. FSD noticed it as well and swerved before I could to avoid it. As I passed I noticed that it was someone in one of those scooter shopping carts who had drifted into the street. And that was just the evening drive. In the morning while turning right at an intersection it stopped. I was about to nudge it to move on till I saw a bicyclist riding by straight saying thank you for stopping. At another intersection a bicyclist decided to make a"

"Great story and an amazing test for AI. The takeaway here for me is not that you cant trust AI (it will get there with sufficient guardrails) but that humans introduce a level of entropy and thats why you need those guardrails Last month Anthropic asked if I wanted to test its Claude-powered vending machine in our offices. One month later: The vending machine business is bankrupt but morale is higher than ever we have a free PlayStationand a new pet fish https://t.co/jolKESeZZp Last month Anthropic asked if I wanted to test its Claude-powered vending machine in our offices.

"@TMobile @TMobileHelp You want payment via bank account which I can understand so that you're not having to pay the credit card fees each month. But your website doesn't accept numbers for the name of the account. Numbers and certain special characters are valid for company names in most states. Please have your team update their validation constraints"

"Pretty sure Palo Alto will still find a way to increase water rates as they have consistently done in the past. California is now officially drought free and state reservoir levels are at 119% of normal.

"A fix I have proposed for this is that taxes should accrue based on FMV but not be payable until the property changes hands. That way the property owners who happened to buy a long time ago are able to stay in their homes but still have to pay the taxes from their gains upon a change in ownership"

"Im re-reading a book in its paper book form because I felt that both the audiobook and the ebook versions didnt do it justice. Audiobooks dont show the visuals that are often critical for understanding and visual memory of key concepts. Ebooks often miss this as well. IMHO we need a new format of a digital book where both the full text images (and even videos and animations) are all included in a single comprehensive media format. We all consume these books mostly on our phones or in our cars. There is no reason that this should t be possible today"

"When I watch the stupidity that I see in how the City of Palo Alto operates and think about scaling thy up to the State level with a project like this one The consultants make all the money. Study after study. They literally had a study to first determine what peoples reaction would be to something before they would put it on the ballot. Manipulation in its finest form"
