I’ve been thinking about whether freedom means creating yourself, dissolving the self, or becoming less compelled by the patterns that shape you.

This one is gonna be huge. So much fun stuff coming out… soon.

Dogfood it. Dogfood it. Dogfood it. Talk to your users. Talk to your users. Talk to your users.

Met a friend recently who, before having kids, was genuinely ambivalent about whether he wanted them. Six months after his first was born, he’s ecstatic. He told me he had no idea it was possible to love someone this deeply. Having kids is hard. It changes your life completely. But if you’re on the fence because you’re afraid you might regret it: you may be underestimating just how much love is waiting on the other side.

So @SFMTA_Muni receives 50% more funding per year than Taipei Metro’s combined opex and capex, even though TRTC runs >400% more trips on more complex infrastructure at 99.9% punctuality compared to SFMTA. The incompetence is staggering. @SFMTA_Muni is trying to raise taxes again too. Vote no.

Critical high throughput services moving to Rust is going to save billions in CPU and memory costs, across the industry.

Fentanyl shooting encampments in SF streets: fine, actually Corgi cafe: unhealthy, must be closed immediately

Few will admit this, but this is how software engineers (including me) have been feeling every day for the last six months, looking at agents take over.

Remember to thank your agents. They are doing a lot.

OpenRouter users spent more on OpenAI models than on Anthropic models last week. This hasn't happened for more than 2.5 years

One of the greatest viruses of the modern man is looking at Instagram Stories. You will melt your brain looking at a barrage of outcomes—like vacations, parties, cars—with no visibility of the process that got them there.

I spent 25 years as an oil and gas engineer. Bo French spent Sunday morning sorting our student section by skin color. Greg Abbott said Bo French would "wreck" our oil and gas industry. A man who can’t tell a Longhorn from a foreigner has no business regulating anything in TX.

This photo makes me fucking happy. Indian guys in cowboy hats getting rowdy at a college football game. It’s going viral for the wrong reasons right now. But I’m glad people get to see what America looks like in 2026. We have arrived baby 🤠

I just bought a new Model Y and can confidently say cars and Teslas are no longer the same product. A car is like a pony or horse. I still like driving a stick shift, it’s fun! Tesla with FSD is a transportation robot. I had one of the first Model 3s in 2017. FSD was basically slightly better cruise control. Great on the highway. But honestly felt oversold. So I have been driving a BMW for the past 3 years. Great horse, fun to drive. But tried FSD recently and holy shit — it’s a personal Waymo. Works perfectly. I just went to the Fremont factory to get my new car, entered my address 30+ mins away, pushed a button, and got home without doing a thing. I don’t think most people realize how good this is, probably because they only experienced an early version previously. This is 1000x better. Metaphor for AI writ large. Like trying GPT 3.5 and thinking it’s cute and hallucinates, and dismissing it…while Astra launches in 2026 and is orders of magnitude more capable.

The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

A 9/11 widow just rent rogue in NYC… She read her husbands name and then called out Islamic terror and Saudi Arabia. She called out Bush, Obama, Biden and JD Vance/Trump while they sat right in front of her. The entire crowd at ground zero cheered.

You cannot remotely imagine how extraordinary this is. Maintaining a 6:00 min/km pace for 122 km at an altitude ranging from 12,000 to 17,000 feet is simply out of this world. It means running for 12 hours and 12 minutes at an average speed of nearly 10 km/h. 99.9% of people wouldn’t even be able to run a sub 1 hour 10K on a flat track at sea level. Mindfukinblowing 🤯
