Find joy in the little things; they often bring the most profound happiness and fulfillment in our lives.

Dreams require action; they won’t materialize without the effort and dedication needed to bring them to life.

Silence can be a powerful teacher, allowing us to reflect and understand ourselves on a much deeper level.

Life’s greatest lessons often emerge from our mistakes, shaping us into wiser individuals ready to face future challenges.

Embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and richer experiences in our personal and professional relationships every day.

Product

Is there any consumer product that will call support for me?

Like “call my insurance company and get on the phone with an agent regarding this case <pdf>”

Ideally it would:
- Know my call objective
- Reference materials like my cc info, case numbers
- Navigate speech (say what you want) and dial interfaces (press 1 for blah)
- Wait on hold and give me a call when agent is live
- Update via push notifications
- Record the call

Seems like a very straightforward product to build and I’m sure many people would pay for this!

Summer of Protocols

Starting next week, we'll be presenting the work from the Summer of Protocols '24 cohort across a Protocol Symposium & Unconference ☀️

We'll kick things off with an overview session on Sep 17th, then have daily sessions by each research team, wrapping up with a two day protocol-themed unconference on Sep 27 & 28. 

Teams this year worked on projects ranging from adding E2EE to ActivityPub, improving controlled wildfire protocols, analyzing how the IETF stewards various internet protocols, and a bunch of other things. 

We also gave several small grants to individuals to prototype what we've called "Protocol PILLs": neat little projects to protocol-pill people 💊 

All the info is here: https://summerofprotocols.com/protocol-symposium-2024 !

Protocol Symposium kicks off tomorrow ☀️ 

Will keep a running thread of the daily sessions here. @vgr  and I will kick things off tomorrow with an overview of the SoP '24 research, future SoP plans, and how to participate throughout the week 😁

Food

Hi Casters. I love it when two food cultures come together and make something awesome. Apparently the Lebanese immigrants to Mexico brought shawarma with them and that resulted in the al pastor taco. I enjoyed a particularly good one at Los Tacos Numero Uno today
