Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Now Qualcomm is doing layoffs? I'd have imagined semi conductor companies, especially top tier ones like QC, were safe rn. guess not.

BREAKING: Cognition just rewrote the playbook on enterprise AI sales. For a large bank, adopting new software usually takes 12 to 18 months: access to the code, security reviews, internal approvals. When Nubank signed, the whole Cognition team flew to Brazil. This is what they did there: 1. Went through every task the bank thought Devin could take on. 2. Did some of them by hand first, to understand what the work looked like. 3. Taught Devin to do each one correctly and built the orchestration around it. Scott says building the product was almost like building it for one company. Full breakdown here: productmarketfit.tech/p/the-…

In 2020, Lufthansa thought it had found a cheaper place to park six Boeing 747-400s during the pandemic. What followed was one of the more ridiculous parking problems in aviation history. The airline flew the jumbo jets to Twente Airport in the Netherlands, where storage reportedly cost around €10,000 per aircraft per month. There was just one problem. The airport could accommodate the aircraft landing, but its certification did not permit their departures under the circumstances. Dutch regulators cited missing infrastructure, including reinforced runway shoulders and turning areas. The aircraft were perfectly capable of flying, but legally, they couldn’t leave. Twente’s airport director compared the situation to driving into a car park and then being told you weren’t allowed back out. The dispute nearly reached court before regulators granted a special exemption, requiring the aircraft to depart with limited fuel to reduce their weight. The first 747 finally escaped on November 3, 2020, flying to Frankfurt before continuing towards California for dismantling. Three of the six aircraft eventually returned to Lufthansa service. Six jumbo jets, millions of euros worth of machinery, and an airport that could welcome them but couldn’t say goodbye. That’s quite a parking arrangement. #Lufthansa #Boeing747 #AviationHistory

A cold-gas thruster fires a high-velocity jet of pressurized nitrogen or air (thousands of PSI) through a nozzle. Standing right next to it delivers a powerful blast that can knock you over, cause blunt trauma or skin injection injuries, and freeze exposed skin from rapid expansion cooling. For Roadster-scale units providing multi-kN thrust, the force is substantial. Stay clear.

Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling “Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word." "That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person." "But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”
