It’s dangerous to be a commercial ship captain or crew now-a-days! Somali pirates have hijacked the Tanzanian-flagged fuel and chemical tanker MT Asana off the coast of Yemen, a local news agency reported on Monday!

Karen Solomon, the subject of a dayslong manhunt in Massachusetts in connection with her husband’s death, was found dead this week. Now, those who knew her in law enforcement are struggling to reconcile the woman they knew with what happened.

astra lied to me and said that the only inputs are the RGB-D values and joint velocities and positions (that it knows internally). That wasted about a days worth of implementation. But its really funny to see the first behavior cloning policy completely crash out even when the MAE is literally 0.032 percent per joint. Chaos theory is really funny.

A few days ago @bentlegen got mad at me over DMs. He told me I don’t know how to use X and he was right. It pays in life to have friends that will tell you when you’re being an idiot. Thanks @bentlegen! Appreciate you.

A few days ago this dog was hit by a car on Skid Row. The owner denied vet care and gave the dog Tylenol. When that didn’t work, he gave him to a neighbor saying “if he keeps whimpering I’m going to kill him”. If you are interested in adopting let me know.

A few days ago, @etherscan sent us a cease-and-desist letter. We've been building Robinscan for @RobinhoodCrypto since day one, with more effort than words can capture. Their lawyers cited 6 "infringements" in our old UI. The search bar , the layout of the homepage and the "Got it!" button on our cookie banner. 🤷‍♂️ We could've fought it. Instead, we took it as a sign to finish what we'd started. A few sleepless days later, a new refreshed Robinscan is live. A fresh design and the stage is set for what comes next. Sorry for the missing data / delays during migration. Everyone who sent us encouragement: thank you. It meant a lot during a tough week. they fueled the rebuild. Want to be part of what comes next? DMs are open.

A few days back, Atlas Shrugged. I was at this place, which many in Singapore will recognize. When I stepped out, I had to take this picture with Atlas. It brought back a conversation from over two decades ago. During my MBA, I applied for the Tata Administrative Service, then one of the most coveted jobs on campus. After being selected, I went through two days of regional interviews at the then rather grand Tollygunge Club in Kolkata. At the final feedback session, Nowroze J. Cama, who led TAS and chaired the selection committee, remarked to me: “You seem like Atlas. Shrug it off sometimes?” Cama was a distinguished personality and an old-school gentleman, so the observation carried weight. I got selected, which suggests the Atlas part counted for more than the shrugging question. At least I convinced myself that was the case! But the question stayed, and I reflect on it now and then. In Greek mythology, Atlas was, of course, condemned to carry the heavens. And for those of us who read and admired Ayn Rand, the reference had another layer: what happens when Atlas chooses to shrug? Atlas Shrugged remains, for me, her best alongside The Fountainhead. The capacity and ambition to carry something large is a strength. But so is knowing when to put something down, change course, or let others carry it with you. I am still not particularly good at shrugging, I think. Have a good weekend. Perhaps shrug off whichever world you are carrying and have a great gin at Atlas, or wherever your haunt may be. Things will be fine!
