David Lightman was played by Matthew Broderick, and “War Games” catapulted several careers in Hollywood and (eventually) in Hacking.

Go watch it. You will be surprised by how good it still is.

Here’s a tiny bit of non copyrighted parody slop making fun of me:

The Christmas before he went to the Paris Olympics, my son Sam gave me this framed photo taken minutes after he had qualified. I love this photo! He also wrote something on the back, which chokes me up even reading it for the 800th time.

If you can find screenshots of these two tweet threads from 2021, I will pay for you 133.70 for each screenshot that I use (with your permission) in a public talk or book.

(Yes, I know screenshots are not private property. But I will pay anyway. Consider it a bounty to reward digital hoarders.)

One of my favorite songs is paradoxically about two opposite concepts and I am curious which one of the themes you will pick up first.

Don't use AI to answer; we'll do that later.Using just your own ears, yes, and brain...

What do you think this Maren Morris song is about? Why? (thread)

Btw, I share my biometric data publicly in order to keep myself accountable on keeping the weight off permanently. It’s been nearly two years and it isn’t getting easier.

Renpho usually makes mediocre to good products that don’t require a subscription. But this new morphoscan “NOVA” is their best product yet. It is 99.999% true to DexaScans. Better than Hume. Better than InBody.

I am usually 8, occasionally 9. Which one are you?

True happiness is flying your favorite guy to Los Angeles to see your favorite band perform live. This is my teenage son Sam, and that is Twenty One Pilots.

Large Language Models are not well suited for every task. But helping you understand the meaning of lyrics might quite possibly be one of their most fascinating use cases.

Have you ever heard someone say that they didn't have enough "spoons" to take on something else? Have you ever wondered where that term originated?

There are absolutely no words to express how proud I am of this young man, and it's not just because of his 3 Gold Medals or his 5 World Records. I proud of the class and respect he shows to others. Go, Sammy, Go.
