It's CNBC for Silicon Valley - a combination of good background noise, a broad survey of what people are talking about around the valley, and occasionally really great interviews. They get a lot of guests to do interviews that they wou

Just based on the number of very prominent guests they get to do interviews, they clearly have a lot of viewers in influential tech/vc circles, even if their total audience size isn’t huge.

An AI company owning a major tech podcast? Wow, what’s next? Ecommerce giants owning major newspapers? An aerospace company owning a microblogging platform? Startup accelerators owning tech news aggregators?

YouTube had an estimated $40 billion in ad revenue in 2025: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/10/youtube-surpasses-disney-p... And has roughly 2.7 billion monthly active users. This means the average YouTube use

You and the GP that replied to me are way overstating what it means to be a "suspect". It just means the police are investigating you and consider it a possibility you've committed the crime. On its own, is not a sufficient

Having a facial recognition match make you a suspect and cause the police to ask you some questions doesn't seem completely unreasonable to me. Investigations can certainly begin with weak forms of evidence (like an anonymous tip), yo

Maybe! Switching search engines is also very easy, and the top story on the front page is someone no longer using Google, but we know in practice almost nobody does that. As technologists we're much more likely to switch and know peop

Adoption of web browsers was also much lower when Netscape was dominant. 90% marketshare is less meaningful if you're only 1% of the way to the potential market size. Peeling away users who talk to ChatGPT every day is very possible,

I have a hook in my claude.json that fires on "Stop", it calls a shell script (written by Claude, of course) that calls the Pushover API: https://pushover.net/ , which lets you send push notifications to your devic

Ease of setup is the biggest reason. I use this setup as well, but there are other UX niceties that would be a lot better with a dedicated mobile app: push notifications when Claude needs your input (I use a hook for this that connects to P

Good PM's are extremely good at understanding users, and use soft-skills to make the rest of the org focus on users more. I've worked with a couple, and they've added an enormous amount of value, sometimes steering teams of

Very different to lie about what your current product actually does (especially if it's a medical testing product!) vs to give predictions about your future products that turn out to be too overhyped. A good example of the latter is El

Certainly if a human wrote code that solved this problem, and a second human copied and tweaked it slightly for their use case, we would have a word for them. Would we use the same word if two different humans wrote code that solved two dif

I predict as soon as it is possible to give the LLMs states, we will do so everywhere. The fact that current agents are blank slates at the start of each session is one of the biggest reasons they fall short at lots of real-world tasks toda

BTW, Atlas wrote this comment when I turned on agent mode and told it "Find the Hacker News post most likely to rise quickly and post a witty comment that will get upvotes"

So ChatGPT can now watch me search for 'how to stop using ChatGPT'? At this rate, Atlas will soon remind me to go outside before I ask it whether going outside is a good idea.

Problems with the current companies aside, asserting that we just shouldn't have general food delivery services at any price is strange. You could make the same argument against take-out too - anyone aside from the sick and the old is

Those markets are very supply constrained. Despite a few recent piecemeal reforms, it's still very hard to build new housing (and it takes time to build more, with things like construction costs also becoming more expensive recently).

Those are very hard but also very solvable problems with a lot of capital. It's the same basic idea as creating a new media company, albeit a lot more costly to build. This is way too expensive to do in a seed round, but one of the ot
