.@jimydotorg and I launched HOTorNOT 20 years ago this October 😮 @Mashable wrote a great retrospective about it. Realistically it is probably the last time anyone will ever want to write about HOTorNOT. I'm happy with this article as its final chapter.

A couple friends asked me why I would be nervous about taking it on the freeway. Obviously I understand the math and logic for why it should be less scary, and that's why I ended up taking it, but it's also an example where humans are often driven by emotion over logic. I drive

(made it home, safe and sound. An amazingly banal experience compared to how much stress and energy went into deciding whether to do it. I let math and Grok and Gemini consultations about safety decide.)

Boom! "QB Sagapolutele opts to remain at Cal amid coaching change" Next few years are going to be fun to watch. https://t.co/Sxj8CKZTXU

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, Cal's standout freshman quarterback, will return to the Golden Bears next season, the school announced.
@TahoeODuckfan @johncanzanobft Strengthening his resume for sure, but in my opinion a lot of posts are underestimating @JaronKeawe's character and his loyalty to teammates. He was raised in Hawaii and I think he values the meaning of Ohana. If he stays he plays and financially the bay can pay, if inspired.

Here is a scenario where a high flying AI startup might not want to start in California.. Let's say the founder anticipates to raise money in 2026 and that they will be a billionaire on paper from that round. (Let's say 1.1bn). Also since this person is probably an AI
HOTEL CALIFORNIA? California now wants a retroactive billionaire tax, leave the state and they’ll tax last year’s wealth anyway. The exodus is real. The desperation is worse. With 220 billionaires left in the state, and many reportedly preparing to bolt, California Democrats

A founder just asked me how he and his cofounder can move forward when they are in total disagreement on something. One technique that I suggested is having them vigorously argue the other person's side for an hour. The reason this sometimes works is because when we argue our

Making unfounded accusations is often just a projection of one's own values. Until this country gets past bipartisan tribalism where people are attacked for no reason other than being on the "other side", things will never get better.

Was just thinking about Tony and realized it's been 5 years. He was such a good dude, it's really saddening he is gone.

This is awesome.
We noticed a worrisome quirk in Zipline’s data. We’ve been setting all-time highs week after week: delivering record amounts of animal health, blood, medicines, and vaccines....Except one critical use case that’s been shrinking. 1/n
