All the questions are totally unnecessary. At least one of the candidate on stage have not answered any of them so far

Had a few raspberries for breakfast, followed by a whole mango, listened to the birds chirping in the sun, watched them eating my few strawberries. And then I remembered today is the day of the debate.

Knowing that Waymo is 15 years old provides some perspectives on the pace of innovation and diffusion. It is both, fast and slow.

Waymo would feel a lot less unsettling and more natural if there was no driver’s seat, no steering wheel turning, and no pedals moving up and down. It is the obviously tangible absence of the driver that makes it feel uncanny.

Spent some time on Instagram and I’m concerned, even disturbed by the insufficient amount of moisturizer in my skin care routine. I’m a one layer person, and it seems like I’m doing it wrong, I should be lathering it up, multiple layers, layer over layers, until it’s dripping.

Reading A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra. Such a beautiful writing, confronting profound sadness with a touch of hope that’s barely there. And the story, feels like that’s the only thing left when all else is destroyed.

The Yayoi Kusama exhibit was fun but I’m glad I went as somebody’s guest, otherwise I wouldn’t justify $40 for 4 minutes. All other areas of the museum are included but I went specifically to see this.

What makes all « hardware-accompanying-software » so rubbish? My wifi enabled Withings scale is incapable of retaining daily data. My Sonicare toothbrush can’t even connect. My Google home is a complete mess when it comes to multiple devices and family members.

AI powered qualitative research interview transcriptions are still terrible. When non native English speakers are involved, the transcriptions are nearly useless. To rely on AI for the analysis and interpretation of this data could result in a lot of nonsense and misunderstanding.

Finally saw Oppenheimer and have mixed feelings about the movie but overall enjoyed it. A few things we don’t seem to talk about enough… he tried to poison his tutor!!! Another one is that a politically ambitious vindictive character could cause the downfall of an accomplished scientist

Spotify just announced sizeable profits, while they laid off 15% of the people who actually helped them make that profit. Their stock doubled this past year and after the layoff announcements, it's jumped an additional 7%. Wow! Tech has really come a long way.

Have you ever been asked to consent, as part of a background check, so the company can obtain information about your “character”, “mode of living”, “reputation”, “your personal characteristics”, (not objectively measurable info), “accident history”? These are so privacy invasive that sound illegal.
