Full text search is probably more difficult and more expensive than commonly thought.
Google Tasks has no search feature!
In the world of AI coding, It's cool to see @cursor_ai 3 get revamped to focus on tabs, rather than more side panels.
Good explanation of why to use a backend-as-a-service, Convex, as opposed to doing the distributed systems work yourself (or the AI agent doing badly it for you).

Last year, there was a lot of discussion about how ChatGPT was sticky because of personalized "memories", i.e. facts said past conversations w/ ChatGPT.

These are human coder/implementers of $NOW software. They charge about 5x the price of ServiceNow software licenses.
I lived in many east coast cities and the motorcycle people are scary.
But in California the motorcycle people are outdoorsy.
I’ve had this thought for a while, but I am increasingly thinking xAI and Google are the long term winners are the AI model layer.
If the models asymptote to a similar competence, then the owner company matters a lot.
Of course Google has incredible resources and integration.
I'm not sure if the Apple physical office actually boosted the company's trajectory, but it does make an awesome interview background.

Instead of $VOO which takes a .03% expense ratio in annual fees, you could transition to owning $BKLC, for example.
AI helps make such discoveries faster.

Tripled in proportion of the budget from 15 years ago.
Counter to most people’s intuition, athletic departments lose money, even at big football schools.
Specific numbers here:

So much of our (American) public policy is based on the needs of pension funds returning enough to be solvent.
For example the San Diego police pension, which uses 25% the city’s budget and is the fast growing expense, needs a 6% return per year.
