Stakeholders don’t derail projects because of technical problems. They derail them because of information vacuums. Fill the vacuum first.

Precision wins. CMS just measured the W boson mass and it lines up with the Standard Model after years of debate. Huge data, sharp simulation, and relentless analysis = the kind of science that keeps pushing the frontier forward! nature.com/articles/s4158…

#Anthropic had the most powerful hacking tool ever built - and chose not to ship it. Instead: $100M in credits to defenders, early access to Apple, Google, Microsoft to patch critical systems first. This is what responsible AI development actually looks like in practice. 👏

Anthropic’s Mythos model is reportedly being limited before release because it’s too good at hacking. Let that sink in. We’ve built something so capable at finding vulnerabilities that the builder itself is afraid to ship it. This is the dual-use dilemma of our generation.#AIRisk

My preordered copy of Planet Money book arrived this morning. Looking forward to reading it over the weekend! planetmoneybook.com

One habit that pays off in large‑scale ML: instrument everything. Log gradients, activations, data stats, throughput, and failure modes early. Half of ‘model magic’ is just having enough visibility to know why something improved. Observability turns intuition into engineering!

Your roadmap is not a plan. It’s a hypothesis. The teams shipping the best products treat every quarter like a scientific experiment - with expected outcomes, leading indicators, and kill criteria.

The real AI bottleneck isn't the model; it's the I/O. Scalable inference is a systems engineering problem. If you aren't optimizing memory bandwidth and kernel execution, you're just burning money on idle GPU cycles.

Are we focused on winning the wrong AI race?: platforms.substack.com/p/us-vs-china-…

Even the least efficient EV produces significantly less emissions than the gas equivalent, even on the dirtiest electric grids in the US. While driving the most efficient EV (@Tesla Model 3) will produce less than a fifth of the global warming emissions: j.mp/37uUdt7
