It was awesome seeing everyone at the Plug and Play Expo here in Cedar Park. Some of the technology was so beautiful, it should be in an art museum (Contoro Robotics).

Solid State Active Cooling Could Revolutionize Thermals
At CES 2023 Gordon had a chance to chat with Seshu Madhavapeddy, the Founder and CEO at Frore Systems, about the company's solid state cooling device - called AirJet. In this interview Gordon asks about how AirJet works and the practical benefits of solid state cooling in devices like laptops and SSDs. Could this be the future of cooling?

Bluesky may open-source their app in the future (Expo client powering web, iOS and Android). This would understandably require a lot of process to be in place, but openness to it. I asked about this on the great live coding stream by

One example of my boundaries when I first ran was “I need to be me.” In politics it’s common and acceptable to edit yourself and appear a certain way for electability. I personally can’t do that, it makes me unhappy. So I needed to win as me, or not at all. Guided and shaped a lot of decisions.

Why AI Is Incredibly Smart — and Shockingly Stupid | Yejin Choi | TED
Computer scientist Yejin Choi is here to demystify the current state of massive artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT, highlighting three key problems with cutting-edge large language models (including some funny instances of them failing at basic commonsense reasoning.) She welcomes us into a new era in which AI is becoming almost like a new intellectual species -- and identifies the benefits of building smaller AI systems trained on human norms and values.
