I am truly so angry at the @nba; truly I cannot see how to remain a fan after 30 years if this is how they ref Wemby. The on court product will degrade. How can they let him get away with that blatant flagrant foul on Brunson (and on the Hart 3) and meanwhile Brunson's remains?
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
@Jason (3/4) Zoom out. America is in a loneliness crisis. Marriage rates down, close friendships thinning, third places gone. The Surgeon General called it a public health emergency. The rich tech bro answer has been to optimize the individual P&L harder while the rest of the stack rots
@NateSilver538@AnthropicAI Have you tried plan mode in claude code? You can iterate a lot there, until you feel the plan is solid. And you can have verification checks as part of the plan.
Department of Defense Announcement
Today we introduce the Distinguished Consideration Medal for civilians who seriously thought about joining the military but chose a different path.
Criteria: Watched a recruiting commercial, filled out partial paperwork, or told a veteran 'I almost enlisted.'
Wear it proudly at barbecues.
Your service (almost) is appreciated.
@MorePerfectUS@SenGonzalezNY@Gonzalez4NY S7263 makes AI liable...the result? Companies leave NY, & the people who can't afford a professional (doctor/lawyer) lose access to a valuable free tool. Obama, Trump, & Biden all agreed licensing can hurt consumers. This extends that monopoly into AI.
@claudeai Is component resolution on the roadmap? Right now frames land as visual layers, not instances of your actual Figma library components. Until that's solved, designers still have to rebuild from scratch - which defeats half the workflow.

@LincolnRestler@BklynNavyYard It was built to defend this country, launched the warships that won WWII. For your 19-year-old constituent sent into combat by politicians on both sides, "weapons of war" bring them home alive. What will you tell their families when they don't? - A Marine veteran constituent
The 50 year overnight success is BACK -- Oracle announces a $300B deal with OpenAI.
Old is New, baby!
What it means for Big Tech, defense primes, and the AI race?
The STEAM Zone crew breaks it down
@SonestaHotels Disappointed with Sonesta hotels stealing $250 dollars for me due to a clerical error while traveling on military orders. Service members should be given the benefit of the doubt- not taken advantage of. If youβre traveling on orders- do not stay at any Sonesta.
today i ran an experiment that exposed what i believe to be one of the biggest threats to america right now
i attempted to raise funding for a manufacturing company from silicon valley VCs and from PE funds
the VC gave me 5 minutes on zoom and said this was "more of a PE deal" because it was "too capital intensive", and they had no comps to benchmark it to, so they left to hop on another zoom and give an AI saas company a $50M pre seed
the PE fund had no one to answer. i tried two others same thing. finally got a hold of the fourth which said they "don't fund r&d" and "we buy ebitda", and suggested i talk to VCs about de-risking the tech first
so i call back the VC and ask "what about tesla or spacex?" and they said "those aren't replicable, you're not elon" while funding the 47th AI email assistant
this is the reality: america is being priced out of its own industrial future while companies get stuck in the valley of death between VC and PE
this is why 50% of our founders don't care anymore about building hard tech / manufacturing, because VCs want guilt free 100x returns from the saas casino, and pe wants existing cash flows
if we want to support reindustrialization and domestic manufacturing, we need investors who understand the middle ground exists, and real tech can enable massive empires
otherwise the factories of tomorrow won't be american, they'll be chinese. but at least we'll have another b2b saas platform with a 40x revenue multiple
IPO pops are utter failures of pricing by investment bankers masked in language that is robbing founders and equity holders on behalf of middlemen. @figma should have direct listed.
