    I am so happy that Anthropic has signaled the possibility that their UI moat for agentic AI is copyable by competitors. At least that's the way I read this. When companies try to l…

    I wish the author had not used the words "Abandoned Mine in the Atacama Desert" Abandoned mine would've been fine. But now you've communicated the value of your find and given a ba…

    I've been using obsidian for years as a paying customer. Will continue to pay as price point is good and it just works. However, unless plugin security massively improves I will ne…

    Does anyone have Jeff Dean's sources for how he computed these numbers? What's the margin of error? How accurate are they now? Is there a set of numbers that also talks about memor…

    Yes, this is probably the piece I am not realizing. However, there is no better approach to getting more capital than by scaring people?
