Anthropic is one of the few companies that will likely hit an infinite valuation if they succeed in their mission.

Unfortunately, there is almost no point buying this when the MacBook Neo exists, and runs a full-fledged operating system rather than ChromeOS or Gemini or whatever it is they’re calling it.

I have personally witnessed AI capabilities that would be considered “impossible” by current public standards. The next 2-3 years are going to be incredibly interesting.

AGI doesn’t need to be “solved” for humanoid robots to be valuable at scale. The role of teleoperation is often underestimated; in the near term, many humanoids will likely be operated remotely by people halfway across the world, performing

This is a real risk. I know of someone who got phished with a fake number for Apple Support (the fake number was promoted and appeared at the top of the search results). Apparently they do this with banking phone numbers as well.

Spotify needs to embrace a user-centric payment model (where a portion of your subscription fee goes directly toward artists you listen to the most) rather than the current “pooled” system which massively favors large artists. YouTube, fo

University research grants that have the word "mRNA" present are currently being flagged and frozen, even though mRNA technology has been used for things like cancer vaccine research for years. Politicizing a technology is incredi

There are a lot of "interesting" emergent behaviors that happen just a result of scaling. Kind of like how a single neuron doesn't do much, but connect 100 billion of them and well...

I own a Tesla, and here's my take on the biggest software issue: Normal consumers don't understand the difference between "Autopilot" and "FSD". FSD will stop at intersections/lights etc - Autopilot is bas

I wonder if this is related to the capacity/uptime issues Anthropic has had lately. I got quite a lot of errors last week! Hopefully they sort it out and increase limits soon. Claude Code has been a game-changer for me and has quickly

LinkedIn is probably the worst culprit. It has always been a wasteland of “corporate/professional slop”, except now the interface deliberately suggests AI-generated responses to posts. I genuinely cannot think of a worse “social networ

I believe we will see integrated optical glucose sensors in a popular consumer wearable fairly soon. I don't think they'll be as accurate as blood sensors, however they will be a game-changer for many people (pre-diabetics, or ges

As someone who has been at a company where for various reasons, we decided to "roll our own auth", I would have to disagree here. Don't reinvent the wheel if you can avoid doing so.

I mostly agree with you. I use both FSD on my Tesla & Waymo regularly (LA region), and Waymo just feels way safer in comparison. While FSD has improved significantly the last few iterations, I have seen it do "strange" thing

Agreed - I disabled all non-essential notifications (I don't need Slack pinging my wrist) and have found my watch actually helps me ditch the phone more easily. I'm still "reachable", but the watch UX is annoying enough

Is anyone else totally blown away by this? I feel like it’s easily the biggest announcement out of IO, however it’s been overshadowed by Veo 3 etc. Diffusion models for code generation are a big deal. If they are using transformers this w

Exactly - I have tinkered with all sorts of systems (including Obsidian), and ultimately prefer the simplicity of Apple Notes. I have a system of nested folders and tags that handles my organization needs pretty well, and I find added compl

I have recently been impressed by the quality of Mexican coffee (currently drinking one grown in Chiapas). Medium roasts tend to play nicely with beans from this region.

It's a bit further than that, the service area now extends to DTLA / Arts District and south toward Inglewood (likely to support LAX soon).

It's one of those things that's impressive initially, but after generating a couple it feels quite formulaic.

This is only a problem for non-Teslas or vehicles that can't utilize the Tesla supercharger network. I don't think I have ever plugged into a supercharger more than 10/15 minutes.

Up until recently (~2022/23) Toyota had cumulatively sold more hybrids than all EVs sold by all manufacturers combined, globally. They arguably have the best hybrid drivetrain on the market, and it's gotten to the point where

I have noticed the same - Tesla FSD has improved remarkably in the last couple of versions, to the point where it almost never requires interventions. That said, I still don't "trust" FSD to the point where I could comfortabl

There are so many interesting, off-label novel uses for drugs that have already been developed. Recently my wife & I adopted a kitten that developed FIP, a disease caused by a feline coronavirus that was nearly 100% fatal up until just

Haven't had a chance to play with this yet, but 10M context window is seriously impressive. I think we'll see models with 100M context relatively soon, and eliminate the need for RAG for a lot of use cases.

Even if you haven't personally used their service, if any close relatives have, they already have a sizable amount of information on your genome. They maintain the equivalent of "shadow profiles" ( https://en.wikipe

This is why agentic AI will likely cause a cataclysim in white-collar labor soon. The reality is, a lot of jobs just need "OK" performers, not excellent ones, and the tipping point will be when the average AI is more useful than t

Both can be true at the same time. That said, utility companies have a duty to properly maintain infrastructure, and this is an easier problem to fix. There are a few companies working on this, such as Gridware ( https://www.gridw

This is why we need a push for radical transparency when it comes to public spending. What did they spend $556,539 per inmate on, exactly? Taxpayers deserve an itemized receipt. Otherwise, by accepting overspending as the norm, it obfuscate

Well-deserved. Congratulations on the exit, and looking forward to seeing what you build next!
