My whole life I have accepted other people’s crappy UXs. Or imagined a product that was too expensive to make.
I customized everything in my house and my camper van to be the way I wanted it. But now it’s time for the tech too.
(I can’t throw a designer under the bus for this one though - we know it wasn’t her choice)
Apple doubling down on devices crippled by Siris suckage.
I’d take anything over this. A new Google speaker with Gemini, a personal assistant powered by one of the foundation labs new products. Or one powered by a startup like wajo.ai
I got a lot of great ideas from this post.
Turns out I used some of these tactics successfully over the years, but never had a language for them. And I definitely never integrated all of them in a cohesive way.
Basically Ryan gave me a language for things that I have done or should be doing.
It will be fun figuring out how to adopt some of this for my solo project when I’m ready to start talking about it in a few weeks.
RF engineering = witchcraft is 100% correct
One time I had an analog engineer look at an open sourced WiFi board that I sent him. He said that it was an RF bomb that he would only keep in his faraday cage.
Yes sir, whatever you say.
More Fo personal AI adventures. Trying to buy a dishwasher but people keep hanging up on "the computer" and I guess a human can't call until tomorrow, which is too late.
Interesting how it texted me a 10 minute voice recording of the exchange.
I hate to admit this but I would have used this in a coffee shop yesterday. I wonder if it will connect to my own speech to text (Voiceink and Claude)
Not available until “sometime in 2027” though.
Fo I ordered something for me and it was immediately canceled due to a fraud flag @shivanipod
This is wild. It recognized LA Design week on my calendar and started planning it for me. It even selected an opening for an Altadena Fire based event.
I built a pretty sophisticated agent on Claude but I’m looking forward to testing it. Excited how it closes the loop on making phone calls.
I led engineering at Google DeepMind.
Today, I'm proud to introduce Fo to give personal AI something no lab ever has... Humans.
Other personal AI's pretend AI can do everything. Fo employs humans to do tasks that AI cannot.
- 2x better at real-world task completion (beats other agents by 69%)
- 94% trust rate (4x less likely to leak private info vs Muse, Instinct)

This would be great for wilderness search and rescue. Sadly no team will ever be able to afford it. Ever.
BREAKING: Meet the new F10 Lightrunner
100 mph, 30-mile radius, 120-minute flight time, launched and caught by MegaDock's robotic arm. No runway, no crew.
Say where, F10 handles how. skydio.com/f10

Who are these for? Successful VR use cases were never really being held back by form factor.
NEW: Meta debuts $1,299 VR Glasses at 100 grams by offloading the battery and compute to an external pack. In a demo, it's pretty close to the Apple Vision Pro at less than half the price and 1/6th the weight. They are incredible. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Stop marketing to consumers 🤦♂️
Microsoft made the same mistakes 10 years ago, before Apple, META and SNAP repeated them.
I talked to actual customers when I was helping the HoloLens team, pre-launch in 2015. The interest was coming from enterprise while MSFT was demoing AR Minecraft games.
By the time they realized the real demand was enterprise and military it was too late.
