i'm not even mad! codex / chatgpt work are great products, and nice to have them in the same app. just reminds me of bryan johnson taking cialis and then bragging about his nightly erections

>force update product to become the default >usage went up 2.5x! yeah, facebook alums definitely work here now

@coldhealing euros can use commas instead of decimal points if we can use decimal points instead of commas. only fair.

Why do the SF train signs have 2 significant figures of accuracy for estimated train arrival times?? There is no conceivable reason I'd need to know that a train is 9.14 minutes minutes away

>england repels norweigian invaders >final showdown is england vs france >interrupted by diarrhea plague they’re just showing reruns now

It’s the year 2026 and payments infrastructure is still, incredibly, analog and outdated. An initial wave of stablecoin payments companies proved out the use cases, but true enterprise stablecoin adoption has required hands on leadership from those who have been deep in the trenches of legacy payments infrastructure. Eric and the Velocity team have a level of experience and understanding that the market has been sorely lacking and they have been able to open the eyes of enterprises to how stablecoins can enhance legacy payments and treasury stacks. Velocity serves clients from some of the worlds top acquirers to card networks, banks and global F500s, and we’re ecstatic to be able to co-lead their Series A with Firstmark and a host of other great investors, including Capital One’s first ever investment in the space.

seeing the homies on the TL again

fwiw i think you're talking past each other. i agree that spotify and apple music lossless quality are similar enough for 99.99% of listening experiences, but apple music also has *some* albums with spatial dolby atmos remasters that *are* noticeably better if you have supported apple headphones or a 5.1 / 7.1 system

@tillmatthis this really isn't true anymore. spotify added lossless many months ago

Yes, it is insane how crazy good music is on apple music and how cheap it is today to have "audiphile" experiences. Apple did something amazing here. They also have lossless for everyone!! Insane! What puzzles me is how many "tech-influencers" even do not get how big the difference is in quality between Spotify and Apple Music. Spotify has great experience, but the quality is really a lot inferior to Apple Music. Another thing that drives me mad is, reviews like: "The Apple Airpods Max really don't sound that great" and you see them using Spotify. Yeah. They sound as good as Spotify can sound. The experience these thigns give you on Apple Music with Dolby is soooooooo good. Pure luxury how widely available and relatively affordable this has become,

@fintechfrank also no arthur ave? bruh

Basically no Italians live in little Italy but to not include Woodlawn (known as the 33rd county) for its native Irish population is wild

@antoniogm headline in one year: "our investigative team found that we were able to create hypertargeted ads on openai by uploading custom audiences of just a single user's email"

OMG OMG OpenAI ads shipping a 'Custom Audiences' clone...one of my products at Facebook back in the day (basically, uploading lists of emails for targeting). History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

@TheStalwart @nic_carter imo we should expedite permitting and loosen zoning for amusement parks and clubstaurants

@nic_carter The Disney example strikes me as an unambiguous example negative externality of extreme wealth inequality. Like I don't think many people care that only the very wealthy can buy a mansion on the intercoastal or the cost of the finest wines.

Amazing chart from today's episode: It's not just that US household exposure to equities is at a record high, but that the stock market is a SIGNIFICANTLY greater component of total household net worth than real estate now, which blows my mind. The stock market is the economy.
