Pizza Huts in Asia have some crazy toppings (e.g. seafood). I can’t remember the last time I was at a Pizza Hut in the states.

Hm, surprised at all the Cursor hate here. Tab complete, at the quality they delivered, was a game changer back in the day. And their current work on Composer is great. Composer is super fast and quality is decent. More competition in the m

Wonderful. I appreciate that it auto-rotates when the piece is too narrow to split along one axis.

I recently found out about a tiny room in the local public library that resells books (most for $0.25-$1). I've lived here over a decade. Overreliance on echo-chambering platforms like Reddit/IG/Google Maps limits one's

I’m dying to take a Waymo. Glad to see them trying to build sustainable revenue models. I hate the state of the car-dependent American urban fabric and would love to see public transport everywhere (trains > AVs). But Waymo/AVs can

Agents can certainly use a new substrate as they can eat dense information quickly. Not convinced DeltaDB is useful for humans directly but assume new and interesting interfaces can arise from the abstractions it provides. Agree that PRs&#x

I am… underwhelmed by the artifacts in the post. I don’t see why working longer is a pro. The results don’t seem much better than you’d get from putting Opus in a long loop.

I cancelled my Claude Max plan the other day. I find Claude Code incredibly slow these days compared to Codex and Cursor. I find speed matters more and more to me. Fable 5 looks compelling. Fable, I like the word too. Anthropic definitely k

I strongly believe Apple can win the consumer AI space. They have incredible distribution and hardware. They just haven’t executed at the application layer yet.

The struggle here for many is expectation. We can certainly be more productive with these tools. Can we be 10x more productive though? Or is it more like 1.25x? Is it AGI or is it more like an advanced compiler? Unfortunately the world is b

UX standardizes as majorities begin to agree on patterns/interactions/concepts. Unfortunately, it’s 1) difficult to reach consensus 2) difficult to broadcast and 3) difficult to enforce. For example, even when major browsers achie

There’s a lot of value in making someone feel cared for. Whether you do that with a popsicle or with the staff and infrastructure of a $700/night hotel room is kind of a wash.
