Statute of limitations kicks in at the moment of your awareness of the watch being fake. But, you and the plaintiff might dispute over the fact of when you learned the watch was fake. That’s exactly what this jury decision was about. Musk c

This is not true. API tokens are not sold at a loss, and hardware gets more efficient over time, so serving inference on the same model gets cheaper. LLAMA 3.1 405B parameters was $6/$12/M tokens in 2024, but in 2026 that same mod

This is awesome. Exactly what openclaw was supposed to be. Im really impressed by how effortlessly it handles the file syncing. My method of walking to work is back (going for an 8 hour walk , voice dictating the whole way)

the most productive teams will be the ones that treat code as compiler output (which we never read) legacy manual codebases which require human review will be the new "maintaining a FORTRAN mainframe". they'll stick around fo

Product work can be counterintuitive. An engineer / PM might think that a design or feature “makes sense”, but you don’t actually know that unless you measure usage.

I was in school when GPT came out and there is a strong generational divide. It reminds me of when i was young teachers said you couldn’t use Wikipedia because it isn’t guaranteed to be correct, but we did anyway. Same thing with LLMs. It’s

What backlash against Adobe? I think you are mistaking comment section consensus for reality. People on forums and social media complain, but the comment section consensus is often dead wrong! There was no real backlash against Adobe. They

Anthropic is a great case study in why uptime doesn’t matter. The service is so valuable that you can have one nine uptime and add $9bil ARR in 3 months.

Yep. Enthusiasts are cheap, picky, and have no loyalty. They’re extremely political and are the only type of customer who will actually switch. Plus it’s a tiny market. You might eek out $50mil revenue after a decade, if you’re lucky.

There is a hobbyist market for a tinker-phone; it’s just tiny. Like Raspberry Pi or Framework market cap vs Macbook market cap.

I built a payment processor and failed. Regulations aren’t the issue. The issue is customer psychology: once a customer has solved their problem, they never switch. The biggest misconception I had is that it’s a viable business model to sta

MCP blew up in 2024, before terminal agents (claude code) blew up in early 2025. The story isn’t “MCP was a fake marketing thing pushed on us”. It’s a story of how quickly the meta evolves. These frameworks are discovered!

The best things about AI hypergrowth is the opportunities to discover of meta-frameworks and workflows. This is something Anthropic kills at (MCPs, Skills, Claude Code terminal agents). These are discoveries of workflows. Some of them work

Seems like OpenClaw is opening up a lot of breadth-based internet searches. Way more people are making way more scrapers, and I expect this to continue.

Yes. Stripe’s 2.9% fee minus interchange (interchange is variable, on average 1.9%) is higher than Mastercard or Visa’s take of .14%. But it’s not so simple, because Stripe faces liability for merchant fraud. If you are high volume you nego

You’re absolutely right i didnt think of that. Isn’t this what they call velocity of money? So we’d need to calculate the “velocity of stripe” (the flow of dollars within the system).

Honestly seems reasonable to me. ChatGPT alone will be be at least as valuable as Google, plus all the enterprise adoption around API use cases.

When systems scale you have to look at the effects in aggregate. Android is a tool used to manage billions of people’s finances. If you allow unreviewed apps, people get scammed by fake banking apps. You might say people shouldn’t be so dum

Stripe doesn’t power money transfers, just commerce. So 100% of stripe volume is economic activity.

Wym? Google says it’s the one to decide. They are doing this because side loading causes fraud. There is pressure and lobbying (like this open letter) to stop them from locking it down.

Walled gardens have less fraud and malware because it's less open. But developers prefer open source decentralized software. Of course, we are technologically literate enough to avoid the fraud. It's similar to drug decriminalizat

I find it inspiring. I relate to the Collison brothers. They're a couple of hackers from Ireland. It blows my mind that a couple young guys like that can build something and in 20 years capture 2% of the entire world's economic ac

I was curious, and the American Clearing House has a TPV of $93 trillion, which means ACH is 78%?? That seems too high. Oh - not all bank transfers count in GDP. I often move money from one account to another. Note that Visa has the same is

This multiple is indirectly a bet on AI growth , because Stripe is the payment processor for the vast majority of AI startups.

Not all revenue is equal. Payments is interesting because the processor’s growth is directly tied to the growth of its customers. Stripe captures the vast majority of high growth SF startups. Stripe has better customers.
