I don’t know why people make such a big deal about the look like that’s going to matter for an early adopter spatial computing device. Two things matter: ergonomics and utility. The number one issue continues to be long term comfort and amo

No, you're simply misinformed likely due to widespread propaganda online. In the US the average worker makes about 10% more than 50 years ago. [1] And this is despite a massive outsourcing headwind of globalization that has made non-Am

Public investment is wonderful, even if the return on capital is lower than private allocations. Unfortunately, public investment is about 4% of GDP while total government expenditure (across all levels) is around 40% of GDP. Sadly this mea

At scale the only utility of wealth is the power it gives to allocate the means of production. The vast majority of ultra high net worth individuals spend a tiny fraction of their wealth on personal consumptive activities, the only true &qu

First thing I tried is a visual reasoning test on floor plan documents that applies directly to something I'm working on and needed that I posed to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok yesterday (lowest tier paid plans on each). In that t

Their first example [1] is a complete non-sequitur and I’m trying to comprehend how this passed human review and must assume it’s AI, which doesn’t bode well for the supposed usefulness of their system. [1] https://images.ctfasse

I certainly do. If I really thought such a fringe explanation was anything more than highly improbable I don’t think I would feel comfortable even mentioning it at all. Still I find it a worthwhile exercise to consider outlier scenarios.

Given it’s a stock deal the question simply put is does bringing the highest profile technology designer in the world along with his team into OpenAI increase its terminal value by more than ~2%? If so, the acquisition is a success. Discuss

Makes for a good underdog story! But OpenAI is dominating and will continue to do so. They have the je ne sais quoi. It’s therefore laborious to speak to it, but it manifests in self-reinforcing flywheels of talent, capital, aesthetic, popu

How could a journalist write so much and research so little as to completely miss any mention of the ongoing section 174 disaster? They even mention “tax” eleven times and specifically mention small studio cash flow issues and costly salari

This is amazing, sci-fi-like-reality. I wonder if they pull off an auto-segmentation breakthrough if the techniques might apply in other areas, like automating neuron mapping (eg. see EyeWire).

Thanks! Still not clear to me if that extends beyond $250K or just not counting against an existing account held there, though. But as mentioned above they probably can just liquidate what they just bought if they need to meet large portion

If there had been no dilution. Co-founders appear to have been diluted 80% so assuming seed investors were diluted 75% it’s more like a $10-12M valuation at the seed.
