Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are: • Proprietary data • Network effects • A physical component

.@sama says the advice to pick one thing to build and pour all your focus into it no longer applies. "The canonical advice that was correct two years ago was, 'Pick one, and put all your effort into it, because you can't build all 30 things.'" "You can now build all 30 things. And you can get people to use them all. And you can work more on the ones that work." "So I think this mindset of lots of ideas, quick feedback, and being open to a lot of things not working is great for this new era for how people build."

An incredible company
We started @column with the insane idea to rebuild every component of the financial system from scratch. Today, I think we've finally completed that build. We're releasing four new products, so any technology company can build at the frontier of financial services.

Bro this is how they’re going to plan their escape
New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

Seasoned founders in the age of intelligence are aging like fine wine
The founder in their 40s with taste and discernment is the new gentleman unicorn founder Because there can be 100x to 1000x of them working at their beck and call via agents and software factories all the time

Yes. Compromise is a 'solution' that, by definition, no-one wants.

Cheap Coal is not the bridge to nuclear. This argument is flawed on a couple of levels. 1. Innovation in alternatives is spurred on by higher prices for hydrocarbons. in every decade with data, expensive hydrocarbons produced the alternatives, and cheap hydrocarbons produced complacency.

2. Fusion is not stuck behind the same stigma as fission. Brett, you are failing to understand that Fission is licensed (regulated) in most of the world like medical nuclear devices not like fission reactors.

Fusion is licensed*

Even Australia's federal ban is written around nuclear fission installations and the fuel cycle; it's not at all clear a fusion plant would even be caught by it.

@ToKTeacher you are unintentionally giving Nuclear a bad name with a post like this.

a conventional reactor uses <1% of uranium's energy. the other 99% gets renamed "waste". fast reactors burn the rest.

worldwide: ~2 million tonnes. ~17,000,000 TWh. ~550 years of world electricity. the bar you can't see is one year of world use.

no new mines, no new land, no new physics. the fuel for the next five centuries is sitting in cylinders. what's missing is permission to build the reactors that eat it.

it's hard to take complaints about gas dependency seriously from people who spent 40 years campaigning against the only thing that replaces it... nuclear

just watched this interview with Valar Atomics CEO. This is pretty fucking cool- to shield the reactor they invented their own concrete - dense enough to stop gamma rays, strong enough to self-stack, no rebar (rebar turns radioactive).
