195 #100daysofcode 🍀 cleaned up my portfolio a good bit! 🟢 as I mention in the short video, I muted some of the colors and added an image to the hero section 🍀 attended my 1st torc mentorship session, shout out to Trillium and Chris Corriere

ceding AI to the right is a generational poltical mistake and bullying LLM researchers off bluesky to cook their brains in twitter racism is a self defeating and foolish act from well meaning people deluding themselves into thinking intentional ignorance is a valid form of critique and resistance

the activist in me agrees with this but the academic in me see it as a massive undertaking difficult to put in my priorities list at moment

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I just started reading this. So far I like the graphics & the use of narrative, which includes case studies. There are some math equations I can't finish putting through the paces until I finish reading the book, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll follow this post w/ my notes as I'm reading /1

In my career I used CVS, SVN, Perforce, git, and worked at a company that was trying to switch to Accurev and gave up because it’s garbage. And I’m not that old 🤣

laughed hard enough about this I had to get out of bed for some water 🤣 I've never been to a rust meetup & don't count eating pizza during a talk as "having lunch together". Lots to work with here could make a decent SNL skit I should probably go back to sleep

in forrest gump 2 it is revealed that forrest is satoshi nakamoto

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

if you have a mentor that's effectively trying to turn you into a clone of themselves maybe give it some space. I try to help folks figure out where they're going & what they're trying to do. I often refer them to someone else's work if I don't think I'm going to be of much assistance.

try not to forget the taste of bread, the sound of trees, or the softness of the wind

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world. That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today. So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based. Image by HEO (from above!) 🔭🧪

this isn't going to help any sea turtles or moths at all 😕

If you've never been to the Georgia Aquarium, I cannot overstate how cool it is.
