The guy installing my Internet seems bewildered that I’d rather have an ethernet cable running from the modem to my computer. It’s weird to me running a desktop system on WiFi. I came up in a time when that wasn’t really a thing and frankly, I don’t care for it.

Almost every time I open the X app, there’s a great tweet that gets automatically refreshed away. Can we get a setting to turn off the automatic refresh of the X feed, @nikitabier? 🙏🏽.

We used to fight to sit in the back. Never mind that we were quite literally sitting on a piece of plywood.

Remix v1 and v2 were just wrappers around React Router. Remix 3 will be the true Remix.

@sama "digging and refining minerals, driving trucks, running factories, etc.—to build more robots, which can build more chip fabrication facilities, data centers, etc, then the rate of progress will obviously be quite different." 👇.

@sama "And robots that can build other robots (and in some sense, datacenters that can build other datacenters) aren’t that far off. If we have to make the first million humanoid robots the old-fashioned way, but then they can operate the entire supply chain. " 👇.

Good description of exponential progress from @sama. "There are other self-reinforcing loops at play. The economic value creation has started a flywheel of compounding infrastructure buildout to run these increasingly-powerful AI systems." 👇.

Farhan: “Should people still learn to code.”. Marcelo: “People don’t code in assembly today. It’s not the way to be most productive. It will continue to be important to understand how systems work.”. Good commentary from Marcel Cortes. #torontotechweek.

Round two with @chamath @farhan. Takeaways.- Ask for feedback and ask questions. Best way to learn. - Concise = competence. Long decks show that you don’t know. - Canada should import US aggressiveness. This is about mindset, not skill. #TorontoTechWeek
