I asked people to rank the best cookies they've had in SF and made a list: 6 points: - Insomnia Cookies 4 points: - Arsicault - Dandelion Chocolate - Stirred Not Shaken 3 points: - b. patisserie - Hot Cookie 2 points: - Anthony's Cookies - Antoine's Cookie Shop - Bernal Bakery - Breadbelly - Butter & Crumble - Christine's - Grand Coffee - La Boulangerie - Neighbor Bakehouse - Over the Moon Creamery - Spruce - Niku Butcher Shop (specifically the wagyu cookie) 1 point: - Baked Bear - CREAM - Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory - Juniper - Parachute - Tartine I didn't vote but both of my two favorites showed up (in the 4 point and 2 point lists). I filtered the votes for people who've tried 3+ different spots in SF, and I weighted as two points for someone's number one pick, and one point for their number two pick. As you can tell the place doesn't have to be only cookies.

@levelsio I use a gaggia classic and a graef grinder. You never tried the espresso way? cleaning should be simple if you have your grind dialed in as the coffee puck comes out clean out with one tap.

Exciting news: Gemini Omni Flash is now #1 in the Video Arena (both Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video)! For Text-to-Video this is a massive +158 pt improvement over Veo 3.1 (1080p) and a large +61 pt lead over the next best model, Seedance 2.0. Congrats @GoogleDeepMind for this huge milestone!

Mira Murati says human-AI collaboration needs models that can listen while they think: "The types of models that we work with today, they're very turn-based. You talk, they talk, then they go off and think." "While they're thinking, it's almost like they're deaf and blind. They cannot perceive anything else about what's going on." "By contrast, our interactions with each other are very rich. There is a lot of information in our interactions when we are silent, when we're thinking, when we're interrupting one another." "Interaction models are able to capture all of this nuance. They're not turn-based. They're more like time-based interaction, where they're continuously taking in audio, text, video, and continuously providing output." "This enables you to catch things like interruptions and simultaneous speech, and really create a rich, high bandwidth interaction between humans and machines." @miramurati at Bloomberg Tech live with @emilychangtv
