The hard part about being accused of being Satoshi has got to be the risk to personal security.
I’m kind of surprised newspapers would dox folks like that — thrilling story aside.

SF is the only city that makes me smile down to my bones just walking around.

AI output isn’t slop.
It’s the shift that happens when goods become cheaper than labor.
Hand carved cathedrals were made when people were cheap and stone was expensive.
Glass office buildings are what we get when people are expensive and rebar + sand is cheap.

@yoheinakajima 100 internet points -- well played 🤣. 今週、私もSFに来ています……1年ぶりです！

The meta observation re Pretext is that there are market segments whose existence hinges upon certain problems being annoying enough to solve that the solution is a business moat.
Like InDesign and text flow (as well as a few other printing-centric features).
LLMs make it possible to traverse that moat in days

@pitdesi @zalzally First (4, I think?) people to ask for it on person at the desk before the flight, space permitting.
We just showed up literally when the desk opened for the flight (4 hours early?)
Oh and actually this was a Lufthansa operated flight though I think we had booked through united.

United is going to let you buy 3 seats and covert it to a bed.
Such a no-brainer product for airlines to add on long-hauls, particularly great for families.

The entire row is alllllll yours. Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out... You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If you’re traveling with kids, a plushie too! United Relax Row will be available starting next year on more than 200 of our 787s and 777s, each with up to 12 of these brand-new rows. united.com/Elevated

How AI fluent your engineering team is will make and break entire companies.
I think we’re going to start seeing reverse interviews where the best candidates are given time to assess the team they might join.
Too much opportunity cost for blind jumps at the moment.

It has happened before and will happen again.
I grew up using Amigas at school — they had Lego-like expansion ports that let you plug in expansion chips.
Within two years your LLM will be a usb device, not a monthly service.

Crazy launch Congratulations to George Hotz and the team at Tinygrad for shipping this!

This means open source will probably get Heading 4 by the end of the year.
We live in incredible times
Notion@NotionHQ
Heading 4 is finally here 😤 The years of “just bold the text and pretend” are over. Rolling out now.

Man.. the more agents, sandboxes, & worktrees develop, the more the architecture looks like Steamship. I’m not sure what lesson to take away from that.

Me: Gemini, do some deep research about what I can do to make my big toe to stop hurting. IMPORTANT: Use a casual tone of voice.

This is such a great example of the hidden fingerprints enterprise contracts leave on consumer software.
The software you use is almost never one-size-fits all. It's filled with code like:
if (colgateUser) { .. }
else if (cocaColaUser) { .. }

You guys all run Claude Code with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions right?
Because otherwise how in the world can you sit there accepting every single permission when building something?

Kicked forward the Kaya langauge a bit yesterday eve.
- `renderComponent` to render TSX into HTML
- `htmlToPdf` to render HTML into PDF
Strange things to be part of the stdlib, but useful if the language is for exploring LLM-native content hackery.
Here's a video of using those two components to render a recipe PDF.

Just tried to run Google's Deep Research API example copied verbatim from their docs.
As usual, the next 30 minutes were spent searching for auth-related error messages and then I gave up.
It's nuts that Google might lose the AI race because they can't figure out API keys.

As Anthropic increases the price of Claude Code to reflect the true cost basis, they'll see an uptick in negative sentiment in their log samples.
Users put up with a lot of wasted time at fixed price that will infuriate them at high variable price.
Lawyers know this well.

Related: I think one of the stories of 2026 will be that managers lose control of their ICs.
When an IC sees 200x productivity going route A, versus 1x productivity going route B, many will choose Route A

We've reached the point in software development where it's far far easier for a small cracked team to actually build a product than for any team in a big co get the "approval" from "all the relevant stakeholders". This will have major consequences for most incumbents.

Superintelligence is “super” because regular intelligence can’t keep up.
Not a developer I know can keep up with AI code generation speed. We selectively code review, but for the most part we just click “accept” and keep the generation going.
We can’t keep up.
