Geeking out on tech,AI hardware, investing, & travel just to try great food. Not financial advice. Likes are just likes!





Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.


People really don’t understand what a competitive strategic weapon open source has become and how it works. Alfred Marshall would be proud. Always good to reread the cathedral and bazaar. users.ece.utexas.edu/~perry/educati…


I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.



Today Groq entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for Groq’s inference technology. Along with other members of the Groq team, I’ll be joining Nvidia to help integrate the licensed technology. GroqCloud will continue to operate without interruption.

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro. It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)
