Well Monday night got pretty exciting. I had the pleasure of directing the live stream for the California Science Center while they moved Endeavour to her launch position in the new (partially built) Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. Special thanks to Melissa Eccles for having me along to hang with an old friend a little longer. It was incredible to see and to have a small part in it. #endeavour #space #spaceshuttle

I am drinking Hazy IPA by MadeWest Brewing Company at Barbara’s at the Brewery in Los Angeles.

Name: Hazy IPA
Brewery: MadeWest Brewing Company
Style: IPA – New England / Hazy
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7%
IBU: 35
Brewer’s Notes: *CA State Fair 2019 Bronze – Hazy IPA

A hazy IPA packed with a jaw-dropping quantity of Mosaic hops. This aromatic IPA has a ripe juicy character with notes of fresh peaches and mango. A soft, silky mouthfeel is complemented by a smooth, refreshing finish.

HOPS: Mosaic, Simcoe, Eureka

Untappd.

not sure who to attribute this to – there is NO reason any of us should have to "thrive in a fast paced environment" or "work well under pressure." most of our daily work is not an emergency and our culture of fake urgency and immediacy just to make more profit for people in the c-suite is burning people out.
stop sending people into fight or flight and expecting them to bend over backward because you dont know how plan or manage resources properly

This came on last night. I had never heard it before and I was struck at the haunting beauty of it. Really lovely version of this quintessentially 80’s song. #80s #aha #music

"There’s a lot of disagreement over how soon the artificial general intelligence moment will arrive. Microsoft researchers say they’ve already seen “sparks” of AGI in GPT-4 (Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI). Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AGI will arrive in just two to three years. DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg predicts that there is a 50% chance AGI will arrive by 2028."

Can I too pull numbers out of my behind & predict the 2nd coming, and get taken seriously?
