    This piece always brings me to tears. I was lucky enough to meet Part, have a brief conversation and shake his hand after a performance in Hamburg… A moment I will never forget.

    It’s a nice list, but honestly, none of these improvements are really life changing (except the reduction in crime that has been noticeable and good). Things otherwise got a bit ni…

    It was with a freighter, China to Panama bound - no one on watch - about a quarter of the way across to Hawaii. My boat was so small it was mostly invisible to radar - I spotted it…

    Did the same voyage in a similarly sized boat, solo. Departed Berkeley then out under the bridge to half moon bay, then off the deep end for Honolulu. Took a bit longer than expect…

    I had an old i5 Mac mini laying about I wanted to use desktop Linux on the other day. The last time I tried, was about 20 years ago. I note nothing has changed since.

    Can anyone comment on why Wenfeng shared his secret sauce? Other than publicity, there only seems to be downsides for him, as now everyone else with larger compute will just copy a…

    Aren’t there a ton of blockchain projects trying to do this kind of distributed compute / LLM with tokenisation rewards etc? Theta project comes to mind

    Why are the tech elite and right so obsessed with this term? It’s such a bizarre phenomenon - I can’t wrap my head around it.

    Sigh. Sometimes you don’t need 10 peer reviewed articles to just know when something is bad. Were you the guy in the 60s saying smoking was totally fine because studies? Sometimes …
