Curry for lunch again. It’s popular with groups of programmers because currying leads to fewer arguments.

More recently, there were some people around a table in Star Trek, cocking their guns and saying d🦆ckish things, and the closed caption said '[cocks]'. 😁

When I say 'more recently', I just mean that I watched it more recently. I don't remember which show it was but it was from before Ted Lasso.

The way Steve taught us to care about every detail, every experience, every person, still guides our work today. Forever grateful.

On July 25, we hacked OpenAI. Two bugs let us take over ChatGPT/Codex accounts of OpenAI employees (+some unaffiliated users) and reach connected services: Outlook, Slack, GitHub, etc. We proved it with a PR in OpenAI’s internal codebase . It took us <72h. 🧵

Orbital motion of the ISS, visualized by sequentially adding the still frames of my star trails. Seen are stacking golden streaks of city lights and straight-line stars in our orbital direction. A surreal perspective of our Earth!

Your name goes here! We’re collecting names to fly around the Moon. 3.4 million of you joined us for Artemis I. How many of you would like to come along with the Artemis II mission? go.nasa.gov/artemisnames
An image of the blue Artemis II boarding pass is shown in the center of the image. The boarding pass says “Your Name Here.” Behind the boarding pass is an image with part of the Orion spacecraft at the bottom left corner and the Moon on the right half of the image. Above Orion reads, “Get your Artemis II boarding pass!” in white text against the black background. Credit: NASA
