Met a friend, walked and talked non-stop, ate something delicious (she paid), came home… and realized I had no clue where we actually ate !

Delivering donuts in pouring Atlanta rain to after-school STEM clubs. The highly interested students will always stay involved but IMO, for those kids on the fence on whether to stay involved in Science or Math or Coding clubs, donuts are a highly underestimated incentive 😜

Getting her started with programming with Raspberry Pi kits is a great path. As she grows older FRC robotics clubs offer ways to program actual robots and compete that can be very cool

Good news on this today at least from Delta - www.wsj.com/business/air...

Exclusive | Delta Replaces Engine Units in Effort to Address Toxic-Fume Surge on Planes

Such incidents have led to brain injuries for crew and passengers, The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month.

I would love to understand who they think cannot be 'reskilled for the age of AI'. The article unfortunately does not go into this.

If they care about you and are trying to help, they might work with you and give you actionable steps. But even if they are not really interested in that, this way you ensure that you learn the most of how your actions may be coming across and can decide whether to act on them (2/2)

A trick to not being defensive I use is rembering that I don't necessarily need to agree with them on the content. If I fully respect their POV, get as much info on why they perceive me that way, try to immerse myself on why their feelings are valid (to them), I end up getting helpful insight (1/2)

When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow.

If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth.

A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.

Really missing the sea today, the ebb and flow of the waves, the depth of the horizon, the mental and spiritual release of just being by the sea...but sadly Atlanta has no beach access so have to wait out a couple of months

I use more words than I need to for work and I now keep worrying 'should I have used ChatGPT and saved the reader time?' Its reducing my confidence in writing!

Thats correct but we'll need to evolve our thinking. You take a walk in nature and there maybe cameras listening at viewpoints. Or everyone turns off their phones for a picnic but someone's Tesla still films you sitting down etc. So community privacy may become a thing on top of personal

So so true. In addition, the most intelligent people are often pampered by constant public flattery and validation coworkers, fellow students or friends and find it even more difficult to rethink their outdated positions, ignoring new evidence or POVs.

Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility.

The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past.

The future belongs to those with the courage to change their minds.

Tiyash @tiyash.bsky.social · 18d

And how do we ensure that we keep finding it. Even as we turn off our devices say in nature, there may be others, listening. Maybe it will just be the silence in our minds

A great point! But I also feel like at this point most tech companies are used to remote work and may look at outsourcing more or placing teams in countries where visa restrictions are not as stringent

Tiyash @tiyash.bsky.social · 20d

Good to see you back here, or at least back on my feed as I see you have been back from 9 days

Wow I didn't know that bit about her own site. Yes, super surprising.

Tiyash @tiyash.bsky.social · 20d

By this time, shouldn't the server hosts know what's coming when TS makes these announcements? It kind of makes it even more mind boggling that given all past data, the companies are not ready... or maybe its 'delay or not, the fans will buy' so lets not even try?

violet 👾🖤 long live swemo @myeyesviolet.bsky.social · 20d

it's actually kind of mind boggling to me that there's not a server on earth that can handle the sheer volume that taylor swift fans throw at it when she does something like this?? like... how have we not advanced enough technologically that buying tickets to a movie is still a challenging process?
