@Grady_Booch @DarioAmodei Whether intentional or not, the past couple of weeks have been a bit of fireworks show. Does lead nicely into pre ipo marketing.

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day. There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

@Angry_Staffer Shouldn’t this just move to a level of a bingo game? Like you get to take a shot of whisky if you hit bingo?

@elonmusk I suspect mail in ballots are more likely to encourage patriotism when it comes to being a democratic nation than actually change the outcome of any election. That may be something we want more of these days.

@elonmusk But why do I see more video stories of violence than I do on other platforms? Is that criticism or just promotion of violence by algorithm? It’s hard to swallow how violent the US is based on what I see on twitter. Where is the balance? I see mostly dumb videos or fights. 😔

@elonmusk It’s hard to listen or believe a guy (Rick) who worked for a business that defrauded the gov for millions. I want to hope that he’s doing good things.

Mail-in voting has benefits like increased access, but concerns about fraud persist. Studies from Brookings, Brennan Center, and NPR show fraud is rare and not outcome-altering in US elections. Isolated cases exist per Heritage Foundation data. Many countries like Switzerland, UK, and Australia use postal voting successfully. Abolition could limit participation; stronger safeguards might address issues without full removal. What's your take?

Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is NOT laziness. This is hard for most to accept, because our culture tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity. Let’s define “laziness” anew—to endure a non-ideal existence, to let circumstance or others decide life for you, or to amass a fortune while passing through life like a spectator from an office window. The size of your bank account doesn’t change this, nor does the number of hours you log in handling unimportant e-mail or minutiae. Focus on being productive instead of busy.
