With my own doubts about long-term WFH, I am going to pin this tweet, easy to revisit couple of years (or sooner) from now. This is only one of the reasons for my doubts, there’s the human/social aspect as well.

And companies won’t pay for or tolerate the former. Finding & retaining the latter won’t be easy, those side projects have a better chance of maturing now. Soon companies may realize this WFA (anywhere) is not a good idea.

A ‘hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher 🚀 After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks ago, we’ve now successfully sent a command up to orbit, booted up the TPU, ran the prompt, and received our first complete response back on earth - a haiku!

Anthropic will make ~1,000 employees worth +$100m at $2 trillion market cap. There's ~11,000 Americans with $100m in investable assets. So something like 1 in 12 Americans with $100m (liquid) will be from Anthropic. If you add in Openai, maybe 1 in 7.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

Story telling matters. When it comes to design AI can put things together, but it lacks the story, it lacks character.

Nearly all major forecasters, including the IMF, ADB and World Bank, have recently raised their growth forecasts for India to above 7% for this year AND next. Remarkable in itself - even more so when viewed against India’s recent performance. (1/n)

Lack of competence in politics is a global crisis. Though I think the landscape will look different in a decade. With AI taking over cognitive jobs, you will see more talent coming back to public service, and policy making.

There is a throwaway line in a WSJ story about the Seattle mayor’s failures about how reps from her admin traveled to SF to learn how Lurie was leading such a successful turnaround and were stunned by how it seemed to be connected to hiring competent people who know what they’re doing.

Amazing Japanese Tradition! 🇯🇵🐟 The patience, precision, and craftsmanship behind preparing this fish are absolutely fascinating! From carefully removing every tiny bone to smoking and fermenting the fish, every step is an art form. 😍 Would you try this Japanese delicacy? 👇

.@DanielLurie delivers a massive dose of common sense on @CNN: “We got so entrapped in our progressive values...we weren’t taking stock of what was happening on our streets. “We had 810 people die of overdose in SF 3 years ago. There’s nothing progressive about that.”
