Introducing my latest project, 3DConversions.com … AI-powered 2D-to-3D mesh generation built specifically for 3D crystal engraving (subsurface laser engraving). In the crystal engraving industry, operators normally pay $6-10 per subject for human-sculpted meshes that are then engraved into crystal. My platform automates the entire process. It performs automatic background removal with segmentation (plus point-and-click refinement), 180-degree 3D mesh reconstruction in Wavefront OBJ, texture contrast optimization for engraving clarity, and soon, point cloud export for laser-ready files. The pipeline is tuned for crystal-friendly content like portraits and pets, and the models are optimized for the features we see the most: faces, hair, glasses, fingers, and common poses. And where AI falls short, we have designers ready to fix difficult images. The final result is high quality, engraving-ready 3D meshes in minutes instead of paying human designers per-subject sculpting fees with 24+ hour turnaround. Revolutionizing a weird little niche, but a fun one :)

It's actually a good sign if an airline charges you a lot for checked bags. Suitcases are heavy, so it costs the airline extra fuel to fly them. If there isn't a high upcharge for checked bags, it's already baked into the ticket price

@Molson_Hart @ErikKaiser I think this one educates the general public and has societal value vs being a vengeance page? That being said, I’m petty as fuck and like the wall, but im admittedly not someone to emulate lol

I'm not sure what's going to happen with this, but I wanted to give it a try. Businesses will take our money or take our products and never pay. And they'll continue to operate their businesses. They're not declaring bankruptcy. You pester them for months and they'll tell you "check's in the mail" or ignore you. You leave reviews on their google maps accounts and they'll have them removed or bury them somehow. What I noticed is that AI will pick up what you write about people, especially if you have good SEO. We don't casually or impatiently put these people on our wall of shame. But if we don't say something, they'll just keep on defrauding their other vendors. And it's not fair to our customer who do pay their bills and conduct themselves with integrity.

I was/might still make a post on this soon, but after some of my friends I met ~10 years ago in Tampa became 8 and 9 figure millionaires, the recipe is the same: - get a corporate job at a military supplier company - learn the ropes - quit and start your own with the knowledge you acquire - scale or sell to PE source: my friend’s yacht who named it off his ammunition company where he sources ammunition from Eastern European and Asian countries (hillrobinson.com/yachts/a-salt-…) Another one of that group of success stories just visited me in Korea after selling his company at ~35yo for 8 figures Def would do something other than selling tchotchkes online if I realized this earlier

If I had to start over in the USA and my goal was to make money at any cost, the most obvious place to do it right now, for the short and medium term, is the military industrial space. AI resistant, weak to no supply, and the demand is big and growing fast.

Ok guys...enough cope. Asian cities are really really nice. Asian cities don't just look, but in fact, ARE nice mostly because their capital stock is new. A lot of them were built in the last 20–30 years. They don't need to patch together 100+ years of old infrastructure. In China specifically, the government can build whole districts at once, instead of dealing with messy, slow, piecemeal development, so everything ends up more uniform and planned, an advantage of building later. The US could do a lot better on its urban planning for sure.

Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) has been all over the place with wonky timing predictions and ridiculous framing. 1) Gurman was too early with the succession stuff in an attempt to stand out, drum up BS, and get disgruntled employees to talk. 2) When the Financial Times got *the* Apple CEO succession scoop, Gurman blew up. Gurman went after the FT’s Tim Bradshaw basically claiming the Financial Times got it wrong. Gurman then said no CEO transition was occurring in the near-term. 3) Let’s not forget the evidence pointing to Gurman getting played by Alan Dye and the Johnny Srouji hoopla. Gurman owes Tim Bradshaw an apology. I doubt Gurman will give one though as he’s not capable of admitting when he is wrong.

@neilcybart Mark at Bloomberg has been all over it and way before this year.

My company has paid Amazon over $120,000 to show our brand Brain Flakes to Amazon customers searching for our brand Brain Flakes.
molson 🧠⚙️@Molson_Hart

This is not fair @ajassy cc @JeffBezos Amazon is charging my company money to answer customer questions and then directing our customers to inferior competitor products who have paid Amazon. We never signed up for Rufus ads. The customer is already on the Amazon page for Brain Flakes. We may have even already paid for an ad for them to get there. And then Amazon shows them an ad designed to answer questions that are already answered by us directly on the page they are on? And then Amazon sends them to another “brand” which is advertising on our product page. Look, I get it. Amazon is a big company with lots of people, lots of teams, and lots of AI, but you can’t keep doing this. You have to rethink your approach. The more you squeeze sellers, the higher prices will go on Amazon, because we don’t have the margins that you do (or the access to capital). This combined with Amazon’s market share and pricing policies mean that when you force us to raise prices by raising our costs, pricing across the entire ecommerce ecosystem rise. In other words, all Americans pay more when shopping online. You need to rethink these policies and the endless backdoor price increases. Thank you

A refreshingly rare tweet that pisses off everyone on both sides
Jostein Hauge@haugejostein

I've now visited three provinces and two municipalities in China, and based on what I've seen, there's no clear gap in quality of life between the West and China. Some things are generally better in the West: air quality, real wages, work-life balance. Some things are generally better in China: infrastructure, urban modernity, safety. Overall, the gap that many Westerners assume exists has largely closed.

When I visited Vietnam, I met a few people with great English skills. Usually, that means they studied abroad. So I asked them where they studied. I was surprised when they said they learned English from watching American movies since they were a kid. I guess listening can teach you a lot. But, they also worked in western bars so they were able to practice speaking.

The highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world is 20x denser than Paris, 50x Manhattan/SF and 100x Tokyo. It’s Higashiyama ward in Kyoto. With ~50 stars for ~35k residents, it has an insane 1 star every ~700 residents! You can’t be >200m away from one.

No airline’s business model is based on a specific price of jet fuel. JetBlue is vulnerable because it’s been running losses & running up debt long before the crisis, leaving it with insufficient cash & capital reserves to weather the storm.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

JetBlue's business model was priced on $2.50 jet fuel. The Strait of Hormuz closed on February 27, and jet fuel is now $4.88/gallon. That single variable is what's putting them into bankruptcy. JetBlue ended 2025 with $9.1B in revenue, $2.5B in liquidity, and a $602M net loss at $2.49/gallon fuel. That was the baseline. Then the US and Israel started military operations against Iran. Tehran closed Hormuz. By April 2, jet fuel at major US airports hit $4.88/gallon. Up 95% in five weeks. JP Morgan's Jamie Baker ran the math at $4.50 fuel. JetBlue loses $1.3B this year. Debt climbs toward $9B. Annual interest payments go from $600M to $800M. The part nobody's pricing in: this is a structural problem specific to point-to-point low-cost carriers. Delta and United can absorb a fuel shock because premium cabins, international long-haul, and cargo revenue cushion the hit. Their 2026 fuel bill goes up, but their ticket mix lets them reprice the top 20% of seats by several hundred dollars and recover most of it. JetBlue has no premium international network. Spirit has no premium anything. Their entire pitch was cheaper than legacy. The moment fuel doubles, that gap closes on its own, and the financial cushion legacy carriers built from 30 years of hub dominance becomes the only thing that matters. Spirit is already asking the Trump administration for a bailout. JetBlue's founder says no buyer wants the debt. Alaska isn't interested. Southwest isn't interested. United's internal view is that the debt load is disqualifying. Five weeks of one geopolitical event is restructuring the bottom half of US aviation. The fuel wasn't the real risk. The real risk was that the cheap-seats business model only worked within a narrow band of oil prices, and nobody built a buffer for leaving it.

Relieved to learn that Japanese language economic analysis is as bad as that of the English language. Japanese companies cannot compete anymore.
田母神俊雄@toshio_tamogami

中国経済の崩壊は日本のマスコミではあまり出てこないが酷い状況のようだ。2020年以降の5年で外資は90％撤退、日本もソニー、パナソニック、イトーヨーカ堂など多くの企業がすでに撤退しているが、今度は日本第2位の自動車メーカー、本田技研工業が広州と武漢の2つのガソリン車工場を閉鎖する。本田は2020年に中国販売台数が162万7千台の過去最高を記録して以降、5年連続で減少が続いており、2025年は64万5千台に落ち込んだ。世界の工場と言われた中国の時代は終わった。
