It's so weird how difficult it is for the left to understand that all you have to do to decrease housing costs is to let people build more housing.
For 45 years, Berkeley built virtually no new housing. By the mid-2010s, it was the most expensive college town in America. Shortly thereafter, YIMBYs took over and kicked off a building boom. Today, nominal rents are below 2018 rates—remarkable progress on affordability.

excited to share what we have been up to.
your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life.
@skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone.
no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works.
it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc).
all surfaced on your home screen.
over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world.
beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !

You can separate the world into those who have used Claude Code and/or OpenClaw in the last few weeks, and everyone else.

Why is there no American coffee?
We accept the "coffee belt" as law. I don't. I am funding research at UF to use genomics to make coffee thrive in Florida. Let's grow the impossible.

Should you get a PhD in CS/AI?
Both seem to be true:
1. 95% of PhDs would have done equally well career-wise without one.
2. 95% of real AI breakthroughs (ImageNet, Transformers) came from PhDs.

A belief I hold: 1 book every 2 months, 5% retention, 1 idea implemented in real life. That will make you outperform 95% of your peers. It has to be a book, not a thread or a podcast.

Duolingo served its purpose and I am thankful for @LuisvonAhn + @severinhacker . By spending 45 mins on it daily in the morning (anywhere), I am able to converse in Indonesian in a casual setting. That was my intent, to do that w my friends and specific individuals.
