Dude, drop the condescending tone. Nobody needs to hold a Phd in emailing.
"So maybe we're doing something wrong about letting our users understand the full power of beehiiv"
Email providers are the worst in DTC. Glad it's coming to an end.
The richest people I know drink.
They own boats and mansions.
They don’t post.
Very interesting! Now that I think of it, I actually don't think I know a single person with a +$1M net worth who drinks (or at least gets drunk).
Interesting correlation.
My wife and I stopped drinking when she was pregnant almost 5 years ago and we haven't touched alcohol since.

I’ll say it again. lol Once you actually get rich, you stop writing for strangers.
The guys still posting essays on “how to built it” are either lying or mentally ill.
Exception: rockets, biotech. Things the world actually needs to know.

A lender just offered me $4million worth of inventory for $200,000. I know the brand founder-used to be very popular on DTC twitter. Cofounder and CMO now operate DTC agencies and still are very popular. They even book calls on mentor-pass etc.. and are special guest on podcasts teaching branding. Be careful of what you see online.

Starting to think frontier lab CEOs overpay a couple of people to quit in public.
“We’re close to controlling the world” → stock pops → more investors → more compute.
They don’t lose a researcher. They buy a headline.
Next week dentists get a line of VC bootlickers asking to skip the Novocaine so they can write a leadership thread.
Sequoia partner Doug Leone reveals he got a root canal with no Novocaine to see if he was really a badass
"I had to get a root canal. And I had to go to a meeting right after that. I told the dentist, drill without any Novocaine.”
“My whole life, I wanted to see if I was a badass or not. Am I a fake badass that has this envelope nobody could tell, or am I really a badass on the inside?"
"He drilled and I jumped. And I told the dentist, I won't move again. And I didn't move again. I used the trick of thinking what it must be like to go to war and lose an arm or two legs. That's pain with consequences. Mine was pain with no consequences."
“It’s just nerve endings from there to my brain to my spine, f*ck it I’m not moving.”
"I had to go home and change my shirt because I was a puddle of sweat. But I didn't move. And so I love fear. It does wonders for me."

China taught me one thing:
出货. 出货. 出货.
Ship. Ship. Ship.
Japan gets stuck chasing perfection.
America says “ship it.”
China actually ships every single day.
A Chinese founder told me not to build everything from zero. Buy it, customize it, ship it.
出货 > perfection.

Now the Mac M5.😭
It’s never the work. It’s always the object that tells strangers you did the work.
很多人在吹新款Mac Studio是性价比之王，超过了NVIDIA RTX 5090，RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation，NVIDIA DGX Spark等等，
准备买新Mac跑本地AI的朋友先别急着下单，
80%的人根本不需要买2500美元起的Mac Studio，
选配置的逻辑极其简单，不要看CPU跑分，先看你需要多少统一内存
这代苹果把产品线切得很死，照着这个口诀对号入座就行:
1️⃣ 日常办公 + 常开轻量AI Agent:
选 Mac mini M6（16G到32G，899美元起）
日常跑 3B/7B 智能体、做个人数据网关完全足够，AI性能比上代提了4倍，安静又省电，普通人性价比最高的选择。
2️⃣ 中度本地大模型 + 编程剪辑:
选 Mac mini M5 Pro（48G到64G，1699美元起）
内存带宽飙到约307GB/s，能稳稳吃下中等参数的开源模型，绝大多数独立开发者的甜点位，完全没必要为这个需求硬上Studio。
3️⃣ 4K/8K重度剪辑 + 复杂3D + 多屏工作站:
选 Mac Studio M5 Max（64G到128G，2499美元起）
带宽到614GB/s，接口拉满，时间就是金钱的专业工作室直接买它。
4️⃣ 超大参数模型 + 多机集群 + 科研:
选 Mac Studio M5 Ultra（256G到512G，5499美元起）
最高1.2TB/s带宽加多机雷雳5共享内存池，这是消费级硬件里本地跑大模型的天花板，属于纯粹的生产力重器。
两个关键红线提个醒:
• 它们全都没有NVIDIA CUDA，强依赖CUDA训练的生态别硬买
• 内存选定就焊死，宁可为统一内存加钱，也别为用不上的CPU算力买单
一句话决策:
32G以内买基础mini，64G买Pro版mini，96G以上再看Studio。

We have a huge news to share today!
Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck
A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning.
It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own.
And all for less than $400.
See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: pollen-robotics.com/microduc…
