I installed claude code, ran /memory, got greeted by the bleeding edge of technology — vi
Working on a late night code release, so I went to make a reservation for dinner @ 10p on OpenTable, and was pleasantly surprised by all he options. Then I noticed 'Atlanta' was selected as my location — and switching to #NYC severely limited my choices.
What happened to us??? – at Manhattan, NY

President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law to reshore innovation, reassert dollar dominance, and cement America’s leadership in digital assets. @USComptroller Jonathan Gould discussed the OCC’s final rule to implement this historic legislation and create a federal framework around payment stablecoins from the floor of the @NYSE as the Trump Administration propels American capital markets into the future.
Flying back to NYC from LA yesterday, I looked out the window and wondered: “Is that the Grand Canyon?”
Nope. Not even close. It's Sedona, AZ. (I know: I need to get out of the city more.)
But it’s totally wild that ChatGPT can identify random landscape photos taken @ 35,000'.
In the Year of our Lord 2026, airplane WiFi should not be this hard.
I hope @elonmusk solves this once and for all.

Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.
Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.
NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Importante. No hago recomendaciones ni tengo ningún grupo de Telegram ni en WhatsApp donde haga recomendaciones. Tampoco negocios TV. Si estás metido en un grupo de Telegram conmigo de recomendaciones, te están engañando. Salte rápido de ahí. Cualquier duda, escríbeme por aquí por Twitter y yo mismo te diré.

This is the most impressive to me, more than the 100m world record.
This requires autonomous real-time planning and action in response to a fast-moving target and dynamic environment.

.@USComptroller: Digital asset innovation is flourishing under @POTUS & @SecScottBessent. More than half of @USOCC applications received for new bank charters are related to digital assets – an eightfold increase from the Biden Administration.
Here’s another way of looking at it… Who’d be upset about the author of a book they’d invested time & money in typing into an LLM: “This paragraph is unclear, too long, terribly organized, and boring to boot. Please fix it.“
Been thinking about this all day… Lots of business writing (esp. financial reporting) is so dense & impenetrable that AI assistance shouldn’t be banned — it should be required.
