    People should be paying a lot more attention to @PeteButtigieg in this presidential race. He's thoughtful and real, no posturing, with policy positions developed by observing the needs of real people. #SXSW

    When you read this story about how New Orleans reduced homelessness by 90%, you realize that the answer is not rocket science: Get people into housing, then work on their other issues after that.

    So impressed with the intelligence, practicality, and values of @Ocasio2018. She gives me hope for the future of democracy in America. "Big money can only win against other big money. Everything changes when you can out-organize big money."

    At @donttrythis's studio, I got to hold the circuitry for a byte from an IBM 702 computer circa 1953. Also, a memory circuit from Apollo 11... He says "You can touch anything because the sweat and the patina of your enthusiasm becomes part of the history of the object."

    Philip Guo's new article about programming with ChatGPT is one of the few that actually describes the experience of doing something non-trivial with ChatGPT, and talks about what works, what doesn't work, and what could be improved.
