Foggy First Friday. March morning today in Chicago at sunrise as the fog rolled across the skyline.

If you are a music lover or a Van Halen fan, you should check this out. I love the discussion and musical references to earlier songs and artists.

I know the program is going to take a step back next year, but maybe it will be more fun to see a younger team with lower expectations grow rather then see an older team fade from the highest expectations.

I am trying to have faith that this team still has the potential to go to the sweet 16 or beyond. But to have these issues this late in the season really doesn't inspire confidence.

Something is majorly wrong with Purdue basketball. I know the roster is not ideal in terms of athleticism, length, etc. But they shouldn't be this bad on defense. I can't help but feel there are chemistry issues here.

Rondale Moore had one of the greatest individual performances I've ever seen vs. #2 Ohio State in 2018.

He was a True Freshman and completely tore apart a top-ranked defense.

Truly a joy to watch him compete. Gone way too soon.

Rest in Peace 🙏

Also, if you ever feel down and depressed, you are never alone. Please reach out to others for help. Please don't give up hope.

RIP Rondale Moore.
A modern Purdue football legend. An outstanding person on and off the field.
My thoughts go out to his family in this difficult time.

The prices are never coming back down

I don't care about LLMs or AI. I care about people. AI is just a tool to me. Tools enable people to help or harm at a scale beyond their natural abilities. I care about how people treat each other using these tools.

Impressive win by Kansas over Arizona without Darryn Peterson. The teams were pretty evenly matched in the stats except AZ was called for more fouls which resulted in a KU FT advantage. That was the difference.

I hate to say this, but Purdue bball is mid in the Big Ten. Also Braden Smith is good but being outplayed this year by like 3-4 other Big Ten Point Guards right now.

All is not lost yet, but some changes need to be made.

I have been tracking University of Minnesota college basketball this year. They have hung tough with many superior teams this year. They finally broke through with a marquee win over Michigan State! Niko Medved is a great coach!

Every line of code added has a potential for more bugs

Barry, how do you protect your camera and lens in those conditions? Are you putting them back into the camera bag immediately after the shots?

Open-source champion Kelsey Hightower on the promise of Bluesky Ann O’Dea spoke to US software engineer and open-source champion Kelsey Hightower about the promise of the AT protocol.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

Trust your eyes. Not the lies.

I don't want to live in a world where we forget how to be kind to each other and that seems to be the goal of those who want to control us.

Working though the new season of Stranger Things, and I am loving how every character is rocking a Casio watch in this 1980s period show.

Andrej Karpathy on X: "I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become" / X I've never felt this much behind as a programmer.

The entire history of software engineering is one of rising levels of abstraction.

This is as it was, is now, and always shall be.

I gotta listen to this one.

Final weekend before Christmas. Is your shopping gift list all checked-off?

I just woke up to the best news: I was named to Forbes 30 under 30 on their list of media professionals!

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me get here.

Special thank you to those who subscribe to The Parnas Perspective: aaronparnas.substack.com

The game is long. Continue to outwork them until their will to win is broken.

I can't believe this. Danya was a great Chess player and an even better teacher. He had that ability to easily explain the game. I learned so much from watching his YouTube videos, especially on openings.
