I love typefaces where the italics look very different from the non-italicized font. The combination of that and the brownish red color used for the word " Replicant " does such a …

I don't think tech itself is the big employer here in a failure case. Its all the stuff that feeds into the data center build out like construction, electric specialists, all the s…

The sheer scale of the buildout and debt load requires incredible scrutiny. But there's a few reasons why this isn't the radioactive bomb it might intuitively seem like. One, tech …

So long as search revenue isn't correlated to AI revenue or threatened by AI revenue, Google at any point can bail on AI spending and suddenly the free cash flow machine is back on…

This is a company that's planning on going public soon. Imagine having your eggs in this basket, a basket which is already being zip lined across the Grand Canyon, and they're post…

This is unambiguously illegal in most jurisdictions but if one wanted to stifle the progress of LLMs, one could deploy an AI worm targeting unattended AI agents running at major AI…

The desire to push back into MCP highlights one of the primary tensions with AI agents in my mind. For an AI agent to be useful it needs to have broad access. For an AI agent to be…

Just going off vibes, I think if Sony could sell a physical media from now until the end of time they would. This is a company that engineered a tiny optical drive and little DVDs …

Was that image of the plucky hacker shooting their shot actually something based in reality or something cooked up to get people interested in founding a company? Look at the inaug…

The discs have been a formality for longer than most gamers understand or want to admit. Sony is discontinuing disc sales as a response to how gamers are buying games not the other…

I think if you've been alive long enough you've had to deal with situations where you need to put aside your ego and just do the thing that has to be done to overcome it. But to so…

Being an astronaut seems cognitively expensive. Your time is regimented down to the minute. Your space is regimented down to the inch. The things you bring up and down, including y…

Its bad if the expected demand is an illusion. For example, when a company builds out a data center they don't build it for demand today, they build it for the demand they expect w…

Sure, but DRAM is a commodity and is classically cyclical. This is a particularly large cycle but so long as the historic pattern holds (and there's not a ton of reason to think it…

Keep it simple and boil it down to the big categories: for example, physical health, mental health, social health. Don't try to do it all at once, if you can touch one category eac…

An artisan who uses a mass production factory to make their goods isn't really an artisan.

Those don't sound like friends.

I'm sort of in the same boat but I'm finding every day more and more people I trust gleefully use these tools. I still don't really get it. I get suggestions of things I should try…

One thing I miss about the iPod era is that Apple knew they were selling a device to play pirated music. It doesn't take much look at how much music an iPod could store, how much m…

We probably need more time to say for sure, but it might be David Chase. The Sopranos is partly an extended character study of someone who strives to fill American values as we ima…

Because the defaults aren't just for convenience, the API designer is also making the parameters they think should be used the most have the least resistance. Good example is runti…

Its simple. Nobody is posting because nobody is going to read your posts. The intense dive into algorithmic feeds over chronological ones sourced from your friends means that nobod…

The problem is that "AI: The Product" and "AI: The Company" have two different marketing needs that undercut each other. AI companies need to come off as these big scary world tran…

The current thinking is automated agents is what turns this from an industry in the tens of billions to a multi trillion dollar one. So yes you are right on the money, agents stimu…
