@paulg Once again may I say, awesome podcast appearance!

One of Jessica's most mystifying qualities is how often she matches the places we go. Almost to the point of camouflage sometimes. I don't think she consciously plans it. She just has this uncannily powerful fashion sense.

@paulg Such a great episode. Reminder that innovation thrives with honest dreamers, despite outside drama from people with nothing better to do.

I'm glad she chose this excerpt about how to make a convincing Demo Day presentation. Founders would be so much more effective at fundraising if they gave their pitches YC-style "vertebrae".

@BoyanSlat @paulg “High-income North America registered a 7% increase, with the U.S. at the top of the region’s list with a 23% jump for females alone.” healthdata.org/news-events/ne…

Some interesting things I learned this year: • 33% of the world’s population (= about 2.2 billion people) have never used the internet. • 38% of Stanford students are registered as having a disability (likely many of these are gaming the system to get extra time on exams). • HIV began spreading in the early 1900s in Africa but went largely unnoticed until the 1980s, as its deaths resembled other infectious diseases common in rural areas. • Manhattan today has about 650,000 fewer residents than it did in 1910. • Humans and octopuses evolved eyes independently, but in humans the optic nerve attaches in front of the retina, creating a blind spot, while in octopuses it attaches behind the retina, so they don’t have one. • Global suicide rates have declined by about 36% since 2000. • India is a major leather exporter, despite cows being considered sacred. Most hides come from water buffalo, which are not considered holy. • About 82% of dogs used by South Korea’s quarantine agency are cloned. Training costs are less than half those of randomly selected dogs, since only top performers are cloned. • Roughly 1% of the U.S. workforce is laid off each month, whereas in Germany it’s less than 0.1%. • Light pollution is causing birds worldwide to sing longer each day, extending their vocalizations by an average of 50 minutes. • Until the late 1980s, doctors often performed surgery on babies without anesthesia, due to the belief that infants did not feel pain. • People with Down syndrome have about half the rate of solid cancers compared to the general population, likely due to anti-cancer genes on chromosome 21. • At launch, SpaceX’s Starship produces instantaneous power equivalent to roughly 10% of the entire U.S. electricity grid. • China has built, on average, roughly one large dam per day since 1949.

Thanks @MatthewBerman!

@Johan_vd_Meer I notice the same thing. I'm assuming it's just a UI bug that will get fixed. I notice if I go to another tab or application and let it finish it does not cut off. Maybe Gemini is just shy.

When using Google AI Studio (Gemini 2.5 Pro), I often see outputs getting cut off in the interface. The response timer stops, indicating the model is done but the visible output appears incomplete. When I copy-paste into Notepad++, the full answer is actually there. Reloading the page usually resolves it, but I’m unsure if this is due to browser performance, local system specs, or something on Google's side. Anyone else seeing this?

Stuff like this might exist already, but I needed something to easily compare different LLM responses for the same input, including image imput and structured JSON responses. Useful if you're deciding between OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Gemini. realadeel.github.io/llm-test-bench/

@victormustar Oh m’anus!

Got access and it's true... Manus is the most impressive AI tool I've ever tried. - The agentic capabilities are mind-blowing, redefining what's possible. - The UX is what so many others promised... but this time it just works. prompt: "code a threejs game where you control a plane"

@raphomet I thought I detected some of your fingerprints in there when I saw the “Clauding…” and “Puttering…” in the demo video…

Proud to finally share what Anthropic Labs has been working on. Congrats to the Claude Code team for their incredible work!

✨ This week I spoke with Executive Director of the Misophonia Research Fund, Lauren Harte-Hargrove, all about its origins and the extensive and impactful work they are doing to move the science forward on #misophonia 👏🏾 @misophoniafund @StevenNMiller Now on all podcast apps.
