I’m so fucking proud of this team.
They took an extraordinarily difficult technical swing with wafer-scale and connected on the first try.
Then they spent years grinding through packaging, cooling, compilers, frameworks, early customers, and everything else required to turn a technical breakthrough into a real company — swinging and missing and learning and trying again.
Most importantly, they stayed clear-eyed about what they had (a technical marvel) and what they didn’t (enough advantage in training), saw the opportunity emerging in inference, and adapted.
That kind of persistence — not to be confused with stubbornness — is incredibly hard to describe, but absolutely essential in the unstable substrate of AI.
The requirements of AI today will not be the requirements of AI tomorrow. But this team will keep figuring it out.
And I’m here for it.

self-serve “paid partnership” labels feel like an obvious attack vector.
what stops a bunch of people from quote tweeting your launch with “paid partnership” on and making the whole thing look astroturfed?

As our kids have gotten a little bit older, I've been trying to find ways to talk to them about what it takes to be successful in any discipline - arts, academics, athletics, whatever...
Here's where I'm at:
You have to work really hard,
work smart,
and stick with it for a long time
to give luck the best chance to find you.
I think it captures all the core elements, and interestingly sparked reflections of the talented classmate that didn't apply themselves or the person who grinded but didn't work smart. Also the person who just got really lucky.
Welcome feedback!

“A Theory of Fun” is now live on all platforms.
@mitchlasky and @blakeir discuss how games got better at progression and worse at fun, why moment-to-moment play still matters, and what Nintendo continues to understand better than almost anyone.

at some point, every conversation about the games business comes back to the same question:
is the game actually fun?

gonna play the heck out of GTA 6 simply because of its status as a cultural artefact: the final big game built before LLMs no-one will ever invest this much in a game again, no software will ever encode this quantity of hands-on human labour again. the last of the great pyramids

didn’t expect to see Gabe Newell (Valve) as one of OpenAI’s biggest early donors.

Duolingo recently released Focus Mode.
It locks distracting apps via Screen Time until you finish your daily lesson, and every blocked app effectively becomes an ad unit for Duolingo’s core product.

a modern version of the classic car rug, but customized for your city + landmarks, feels inevitable

i majored in supply chain and did all of my formal internships in procurement (SpaceX, Nest, etc.)
the data center procurement teams right now might have the hardest jobs in tech

I tend to agree with this, then I remember @steipete quietly built Openclaw in Vienna.
There are outliers everywhere.

feels pretty clear that being a top Roblox developer is becoming a “dream job” for the next generation
wst@dryw3st
This Roblox developer streamed himself creating his RNG game from scratch He never broke 1000 CCU, until today.. He started in March, and over a few weeks he shipped the slime RNG game with ~80 people watching him build it live. Now it just broke 300,000 CCU It's the 10th most POPULAR game on the front page This is INCREDIBLE..
