If you've ever ran technical interviews and are interested in giving anon feedback pls interact. This will be used for creating a comprehensive guide on non obvious things to prep for during interviews.
Los Angeles is doing their best to squeeze out golf clubs. A proposed tax of $4 per square feet on private country clubs which was inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s erroneous podcast on private golf courses, could see some clubs shutter. The tax will affect 6 courses to the tune of $250M or $41.6M per club per year!!! I don’t know if there is a private club in the USA that could afford an annual tax bill of $41.6M. Assuming each club had 300 members (some have less) that would increase dues roughly $140,000 for every member (and taxes have a way of going up). And if these clubs fold - or even if a couple fold- what will be the end result- less grass and more concrete. Homes will replace these open spaces (even if it is private). Council Member Nazarian is trying to get this on the ballot in November 2026. If it makes the ballot I imagine the voters of LA will pass it. If I am a private club in LA, I am asking a couple of members who are on their deathbed to be buried on the golf course and then rezone the club as a cemetery. #BadGolfNews
I lament to inform that I had one of the best coding experiences today with Opus 4.8 on fast mode. It is 3x cheaper now. I guess I should thank our overlords
What you say is true, but nonetheless our AI will be great. Whether it is the best remains to be seen, but I will never give up. Never. Space(XAI) is only 3 years old. That’s half the age of Anthropic and quarter the age of OpenAI. Let’s see where things stand 3 years from now.
It's clear that growth for coding tools such as Claude Code has decelerated from the pace it was since the start of the year. It might be compute- constrain related or due to many clients blowing their full-year AI budgets. Monitoring this trend very closely with all the alt data. I will provide regular updates.
