There are a lot of ideas swirling around right now, it has been the most anybody has cared about OAuth in 15 years. Most auth companies are playing in this space, some are trying to own the spec, like WorkOS, some are working more closely w

Having just joined Twilio (thanks for buying us) and designing some new APIs right now, it warmed my heart to see messages.create(), written over 15 years ago, show up as an example here :)

App Store review is really just luck of the draw in my experience. There is usually no rhyme or reason to a decision, changing some minor thing and re-applying works a lot of the time.

You're surprised? I think harnesses are almost as important as the underlying model. Folks have been able to improve benchmark results by nearly 2x based on harness alone. Harnesses are quickly becoming critical components of the &quot

The word jurisdiction is where it gets confusing. The meaning of that word does not map 1:1 to its modern usage. To wit, if we read it as "subject to the laws of the land", then the invading army exception does not make sense, inv

RIP to Glean? For enterprises already with an Anthropic MSA, hard to see the argument to purchase a third party, like Glean, over this.

I expect mobile OS and maybe mobile app developers to do so. Google has already downgraded memory for their upcoming Pixel 11 while at the same time imposing local running models as a first-class feature. Both decreasing the memory pool and

I disagree, I think she articulated it very well. At scale you have sound bites, that's it. She captured the truth, that our current system vastly favors capital over labor (etc etc etc), and did that in around six or seven words. You

My experience is that open weight models from China are at least ~12 months behind. In some workloads they may be closer, in others further away. I also find that the harness and product you wrap around models can often narrow that gap cons

Light would travel six feet on a cable in about 10 nanoseconds, is that the sort of latency that you're referencing? I would be surprised to learn that nanoseconds of latency is worth more than much better compute, lower cost, lighter

Here is my low key prediction about the purchase of Cursor by Elon. Cursor is purportedly a huge customer of OAI, maybe a top five? I think Elon bought it to have leverage on sama. If timed correctly, Elon could pull the plug on a huge cust

You're not wrong in the long term, either in general or for SpaceX. In the long term, hopefully the market stabilizes, new entrants can challenge Nvidia etc. But of course maybe not! However for SpaceX, this is a dead end move. They ma

Not nearly as clear cut as you make it out. We haven't been able to produce a complete F-35 since Feb 2026 because we lack the necessary rare earths to do create their electronics. Why? Because we stopped doing that work (and science)

This ruling is the exact opposite of the recent proposal from Hawaii. That ruling is predicated on the state having control over corporations and how they behave. This ruling in Delaware is affirming a clear path for corporations to have co

Only in the most naive sense. If it costs you $1B and five years to build out new supply and you think demand will not sustain for more than three years, it does not make sense to expand supply. Instead you will maintain your margins curren

All in implementation I suppose, but typically pensions _must_ be fulfilled as they are a legal contract with the employees of the state. If you take money out of a pension (typically illegal) or otherwise forgo payments, limit payouts etc,
