We are no fucking “small ex-Soviet satellite”. We are Czechia, a proud 10-million country whose President does phone calls with President of Taiwan and we just got about a million artillery shells to Ukrainian defenders while Germany and France do a pissing contest over egos.

The European Council has decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine & Moldova. #EUCO granted candidate status to Georgia. And the EU will open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and has invited the commission to report by March with a view to taking such a decision. A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent.

Look whom I met in snowy Berlin yesterday! @gunnarmorling, you should visit us more often!

Today I got a call inviting me to consider a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to become the interim CEO of @OpenAI. After consulting with my family and reflecting on it for just a few seconds, I accepted. It was crazy. They literally called me and were like "who is this?" And I was like "ha ha, what?" And then they gave me the job and hung up. I took the gig because, due to the birth of my triplets this morning (true story), I need all the cash I can get. Seriously. I'm fucked for money. All three of these kids expect to go to private school and one of them is named Elliot so you know he can't be poor. Anywhoo, I took this job because I have absolutely no idea what AI does. I dont even know where our offices are. My plans are to drive through the wall of an Apple store and start giving orders to the first nerd I can smell. I told the board all of this. They know what I'm about. They also know that I'm certifiably insane, casually (CASUALLY!!) smoke meth and don't know what the GPT stands for in that Chatbot Siri thing we have. When they heard this, the board gave me a raise and some free meth. What a deal! Ultimately, I plan to step down this evening. Thanks, all.

I'm pleased to announce that I have also been asked to become and have accepted the role of the interim CEO of OpenAI

OH: A regular wall is just an append-only whiteboard

That's a really cool way to think about Restate! Actor system, where the core messaging platform is Rust, the actors are TypeScript (or other lang soon). Actors are stateful, can be virtually long-running (suspend) and do sequences of asks/tells/etc, recovering in-between state.
