Trump giving us all-time euphemisms for “getting fired” “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future”

This is a wild sequence of posts from someone with a huge platform who used to care about online disinformation

Extremely niche content but I have to give evil-bikes.com credit for an April Fools that's funny. It's funny because I'd probably be interested in this bike if they built it?

“AI hasn't caused any disruption” is definitely a string of words you could choose to post on bsky

This is such a good explanation of how Claude finds concurrency bugs in my code

the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used.

Working on visiting every Midpen preserve in 2026... Wildflowers popping off at St. Joseph's Hill this weekend www.openspace.org/preserves/st...

Let's say the haters are right and OpenAI and Coreweave shut down. Then someone will buy the GPT 5.4 model weights and all the GPU data center assets and fucking print money Investors might lose a shit ton of money but the tech isn't going to disappear, too many people will pay for it

I think the reason this is getting so many dunks is only because Shapiro posted it on bsky. No one noticed when NJ or CA did it, or when the legislature overrode a veto by a margin to do it in IL chicago.suntimes.com/2017/11/8/18...

Sounds like the tag line for a direct to video movie where Eric Roberts plays a postal inspector

Very disappointing that @akhbarenfejari continues to support Musk by posting pro-IRGC content on X rather than bsky

There's a great Bill Murray / Harold Ramis movie about this

Damn rough day as a Disney adult thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/disney-...

RIP Jean Baudrillard you would've loved Iranian AI videos

This is an interesting empirical paper but the coding-specific employment shock seems *too early* to be AI? IMHO the real coding agent shock is 2H2025; the shock they identify to starts in 2022 even before ChatGPT, when AI was barely useful for much coding.

“Monetise openness before the EU even signs the SLA.”

Yes, and then get some cheap no-names like Dwayne Johnson or Beyonce to act in them and you get a movie for essentially nothing

Gemini describing my happy place: “You are experiencing the absolute peak of Linux packaging pain. You just hit a perfect storm of missing symlinks, a forgotten library, and an architectural quirk of Ubuntu 24.04.”

It's only one detail but if they're really building a new fab, then there's no way they can get ASML high NA EUV machines for years (there's a huge backlog of orders from TSMC/Intel/Samsung already) - so are they making a wildly risky bet on some AMAT/Canon/startup tech to fab 2nm devices?

You're absolutely right, I apologize for the confusion. Thank you for catching that.

I have no idea whether this is bad or good but I am positive it's super weird to raise a $100M round and then wait a year before announcing it

Ok do I have this right? - Anthropic bought the javascript tooling written in zig - OpenAI bought the python tooling written in rust - no one knows what's up with the javascript tooling written in rust

Kinda rhymes with the Tesla cybercab hype, except plausible? rivian.com/newsroom/art...

(viral listicle) No Gravel Biker Has All 5 of These! hmmm let me look ... 1. Gravel bike ✅ 2. Common sense ❌ goddamn it!!!

I was the code review bottleneck ten years ago, way ahead of my time

When you write a piece like this you should have to disclose how many other financial crises you also predicted over the last 20 years www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/o...

Pretty basic application of Little's Law. Queue occupancy equals throughput multiplied by transit time

If you live in the Bay Area, sign the petition now to make sure the transit funding measure gets on the ballot so we can keep all these good things connectbayarea.com

Xai also just hired this founder of firebender.com, a YC-funded AI coding startup

Idk, you said what you said. I don't see why people should care that you also said something narrowly hedged about some hypothetical and not defined application that no one has built to your approval

Huh two senior engineering people leaving cursor just as they're supposedly raising at a $50B valuation?? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Heavy truck

Money is useful for 1. Buying illegal drugs 2. Hiring hitmen 3. A medium of exchange that facilitates modern technological civilization Which one do you use it for?

There's a lesson about saying nice things to people here

I'm glad Adebayo did it, I'm just sad he didn't chuck up a couple more shots and also get Harden's record for missed 3s in a single game

Why doesn't anyone just buy the same shoes but in a size that fits and wear that pair

Lol. Also lmao

I guess instead of “Uber for X” the cool kids are building “Waymo for X” now?

I tried one of those car vs. bike calculators and with some pretty conservative assumptions it seems like the car comes out comfortably ahead on costs?

What opening CNBC.com and checking the markets feels like

More seriously, am I translating corporate speak correctly if I read “stepping down and being replaced by an investor on an interim basis” as “fired by the board on short notice”?

I appreciate everyone thinking of me, but I must emphasize that I am not currently in any discussions for any role at bluesky

100% of the time people see me and my purple tires...
