This is looking to be a bigger threat than Iran 📉

JUST IN: Moderna announces it’s working on a hantavirus vaccine.

合规一点很同意，都2026了银行都还用着古早的长得跟蓝底白字DOS一样的系统交易。。。我觉得在超大企业的很多业务场景里面，本质上“效率”并不是一个刚需，但“合规”绝对是 但更长远来看，AI的出现也会带来更多小型企业的爆发，他们会对AI的adoption更为接受，而且未来我相信也能创造出相当可观的经济体量，AI会吃掉这一块 眼前：我也同意MSFT便宜了 长期：那就看toB和to小B哪个市场更有成长了

微软的末日？工作场合的AI智能体 举个例子，我是一家汽车配件的SALES，我需要把内部的数据（存在EXCEL里）和新产品的描述（存在WORD里）做成DECK（POWERPOINT）拿去做路演。 正常的操作流程是，我下面的分析员打开EXCEL和WORD，把需要东西放入POWERPOINT，发一个PPT文件给我。 有了AI 智能体后，我把所有需求，数据来源，目的告诉他，他完全取代分析员做的事情，过程里EXCEL和WORD, POWERPOINT需要被调用。这就是老黄说的，软件是工具，被调用，不会被取代。 然后不要忽略了效率问题，原本分析员一天做一个DECK，现在AI一天做10个DECK，工具被调用次数指数上升。所以AI智能体是一个在所有软件更上一层的软件。 那么问题来了，微软会不会出自己的AI智能体？答案是一定会，也已经有了。那这时候就有了一个分发（DISTRIBUTION）的问题，谁会选ANTHROPIC？一定是现在已经用了他们产品的公司，会付更多的钱订阅COWORK（等于雇佣了一个效率非常高的分析员）。如何让更多的企业知道ANTHROPIC？需要销售跑业务！B2B的行业不会有网络效应，都是企业销售跑出来的。初创公司除外（他们站在科技最前沿，但只是冰山一角）。而对于微软来说，只需要利用现有的渠道，推出自己最新的COPILOT。 最后，也是最重要的，对大多数的企业来说，还记不记得疫情是ZM的例子？明明ZM是个更好的产品，为什么大企业里不用？安全。即使后面ZM解决了所谓的安全问题，到现在6年了，ZM仍然没有威胁到微软。给AI智能体权限调用你公司WORD, EXCEL然后在云上面跑？牵涉到公司隐私的数据不敢的。 所以从大多数的企业角度看，我认为终局有两个最有可能的方向： 1. 建私云（成本很大，大公司可以），推理在私云上跑 2. EDGE AI，推理不上云（有点类似于员工/AI去公司上班，下班时啥都不会带走，所有公司信息全部停留在公司电脑上） 中间状态可能是未来3-5年的主流：混合架构。敏感数据（财务、法律、HR）走本地或私有云推理，非敏感的工作（市场研究、公开数据分析、邮件起草）走云端LLM 微软不会是末日，反而是AI agent时代的赢家 — 不是因为他们的AI有多强，而是因为他们掌握了企业的数据、信任和分发关系，这就是我一直拿他和苹果做比喻。

If you WFH or are a solo founder, you will need a morning standup ritual to plan things out strategically. Too much flexibility can be fun initially but soon turn into chaos

5/ Feature #4: AI Daily Standup Solo founder schedules are a blessing and a curse—way too flexible. It’s so easy to procrastinate or spend weeks building in a vacuum. I teach my AI to be a strategic partner: For instance, If I’m hiding behind code, it suggests marketing tasks. If I’m stuck and procrastinating, it looks at my idea log and tells me exactly what’s strategic. It also: Prioritizes: Goes through all your ideas and turns the important ones into actual todos. Automates: All checked todos go straight to your “Build Log” without manual tracking. Unblocks: Suggests resources to learn or new ideas to explore if you're feeling uninspired. Drafts: Creates social media posts based on what you’ve actually done and reflected on recently. This is your strategic morning ritual—a daily standup to help solo founders stay motivated and intentional every single day. Github link: github.com/AmberYZ/my-bui…

6/ Feature #5: Automatic social media content based on your real progress Your Notion is a diary of everything you’ve thought, built, struggled with, and celebrated. That’s natural content right there! Often, we don’t even realize how much we’ve achieved or how valuable our "lessons learned" are to others. The AI analyzes your logs and drafts content for you. You pick the drafts that resonate, and as you edit and save them, the AI learns your specific tone and style. The result? You post your true self, not generic AI fluff.

🧵1/ Launching Build-in-public Headquarters: AI + Notion = automated sharing of your progress and smartly planned todos. I was building another project when I realized something: managing multiple projects and ideas as a solo founder is a different kind of chaos. Especially for me who has ADHD, ideas grow in my brain like an explosive web. But ideas aren’t todos planned strategically. Sometimes the problem isn’t coming up with ideas — it’s knowing which one to focus on. Other times, it’s forgetting ideas altogether, or how they connect back to your north star goal. That disconnect kills momentum. So I built Build-in-Public HQ — a simple, flexible, AI-enhanced notion dashboard to help solo founders and multitaskers like me orchestrate ideas, projects, and progress without drowning in complexity. Here’s what it does: 🗂 Keeps all your projects, ideas, build logs, diary entries, and social posts in one place 💡 Logs every idea—even the random ones that don’t fit anywhere yet 🔗 Tracks your work automatically via synced GitHub releases, pushes, and commits (no more manual logs) 🤖 Generates AI-powered daily standups with strategic todos & learning suggestions based on your goals & blockers 📝 Auto-creates social media drafts from your recent builds and thoughts Everything is notion-based: no reinventing the wheel; you control your data. Turn your chaos into a map, not a mess. Github link: github.com/AmberYZ/my-bui… Key features below ⬇️:

Memory chip stocks whipsawed last week when Google announced TurboQuant. But most financial coverage skips the technical “why.” Precisely, what is TurboQuant compressing? My latest article is for anyone who wants to get an intuitive understanding of the technical picture (but not too technical). I find the underlying math fascinating—so this post focuses primarily on that. But if you want my two cents on the TurboQuant-induced sell-offs in the equity market, they are at the end of the article.

Funny how productivity shifts. I used to find copying and pasting the same content across different channels a total chore and a waste of time—the kind of problem worth building a tool to solve. But now, it has become my sanctuary for relaxing after finishing work. My mental context window is completely burnt out because AI makes every second count. A bit of 'mindlessness' is the only way I can actually relax.

We need to touch grass and reset brain context window

This is the best intuitive explanation of Google's Turbo Quant I found online. reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/c…

I put my dyslexia web reader demo on YouTube (cold start, no ads!) and was shocked to get five comments and 100% likes in a single day. Sometimes I have an existential crisis thinking that all the good business ideas have already been—or will be—done by the tech giants. But I re-anchor myself by focusing on helping people with real, tangible problems. I prefer ideas that make a small group very happy over viral concepts that grab mass attention but don't end up being useful. If a new model eventually supersedes what I’ve built, I simply move on to the next problem that needs solving. The secret to conquering AI existential dread is to stop building to AVOID being replaced and start building to EMBRACE the next chance to create a meaningful impact. Focus on where you can drive change right now. We really need to actively program our minds with proactive, motivational language; it truly is life-changing!

Because I have dyslexia and couldn’t find one single good tool, I built this chrome extension to assist with reading long articles: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/edppnil… I don’t like using “AI summary” on materials I actually want to retain and internalize. So I built this tool that allows you to actively engage with the material, such as asking questions, writing reflections, and getting quizzes. More on product design and building process to come!

The "Harness Engineering" is the defining AI trend of 2026. What is a Harness? Think of the LLM as a brilliant brain in a jar. It’s smart, but it’s essentially passive. The harness is the "body" and "nervous system." It’s the software scaffolding that gives the brain hands to use tools, a memory to store context, and the logic to self-correct when things go wrong. We’ve spent the last few years obsessed with making the brain bigger (remember the “scaling law”?). Now, the industry is racing to make the system more autonomous. In 2024, you asked a model for an answer. In 2026, you give an agent a goal. The technical paths are already diverging. MiniMax is letting the model build its own harness from scratch. Anthropic is using "trajectories" (logs of agent behavior) to train their models on how to better navigate the world. Meanwhile, NVIDIA is moving toward the infrastructure layer with OpenShell, providing a secure "Operating System" for these agents to live in. What does it mean for AI Builders? For the rest of us, this marks the end of Prompt Engineering. We are moving toward Harness Engineering. An easier and intuitive understanding: The harness handles the "how," while you focus entirely on the "what." You won't spend your morning tweaking words in a chat box; you'll spend it defining high-level objectives.

We should value our “brain tokens” as much as AI compute tokens — our intention and attention are our most precious assets. Every time we pretend to care or work on someone else’s dream, we deplete our own. “Intention burnout” is real: we can have all the productivity in the world but no drive to do anything meaningful. How often do we spend our energy optimizing tasks that don’t align with our values?

I've found that good investment opportunities often arise when fact-based data points diverge significantly from prevailing opinion-based narrative

I’m vibe-coding a personal project and needed to change the UI/UX design. That’s when I realized that, despite all the “UI/UX is done” narratives, it’s actually extremely difficult to get a design that doesn’t look like a mass-produced AI template. I mean, what language should I use to describe a “stylish” UI? What other adjectives are there beyond “simplistic, technological, vibrant, clean…”? After several tries, I always end up with something that looks like the Robinhood UI. It’s true that AI automates the implementation part. But this is when the designer really speaks.

My journal on vibe-coding my second brain for investing. The coolest part about vibe coding — you don’t need to sacrifice your very personalized needs for sake of standardized SaaS solution that works 80% -90% percent of the time.

Have to say it again. Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, and hating on young successful women is the last refuge of the patriotic scoundrel. The level of total derangement over Eileen Gu truly astonishes me.
