Marc Andreessen on why Starlink may be the most misunderstood success story in tech right now:

“Elon’s not the first guy who said we’re going to do satellite-based internet access.

There was Bill Gates, Craig McCaw. Complete catastrophe, total bankruptcy, complete disaster.

Elon’s like, ‘I know, I’m going to do another three of those. We’re starting as a side project at the rocket ship company.’

If the rockets are reusable, we’re going to be launching them all the time. What’s going to go in the rockets? I could wait for the customers to come to me, or I could just put up my own satellites.

Anybody who knew anything about the history of satellites knew that was the craziest idea in the world.

And of course it’s like this giant success. It’s the side project.

It’s clearly the least studied and understood thing I know of in the world right now.”

Kimi K3 is now available in our Globant Enterprise AI Intelligent Hub.

Its arrival marks an important milestone for open-weight models.

In benchmarks such as front-end development, Kimi K3 outperforms some frontier models.

Having models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, and many others running within our platform allows us to intelligently route each workload to the model that delivers the best balance of quality, latency, and cost.

At Globant, we've been continuously integrating the most valuable AI models into our Enterprise AI platform for more than three years.

Enterprise AI is no longer about choosing the "best" model. It's about orchestrating the right model for the right task.

Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.

🗣️ “People keep asking me how Messi is still doing this at 39 years old. My answer is simple because football has never seen anyone like him. Age defeats everyone, but somehow it refuses to defeat Lionel Messi. What he did tonight was beyond football… it was art.”

“England didn’t play against an old player. They played against the greatest mind this sport has ever produced. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, controlling the rhythm of the biggest match on earth as if he were playing in his backyard. That is not normal. It is impossible to teach.”

“I’ve stood on the touchline and watched Leo do things that left me speechless. Tonight, sitting at home, he made me feel exactly the same. Every touch had purpose. Every pass carried danger. Every decision was perfect. He didn’t run the most but he made everyone else run for him.”

“The frightening part is that he no longer needs his young legs. His football brain is ten seconds ahead of everyone else. By the time defenders realise what is happening, the ball is already in the back of the net or a teammate is celebrating. That’s genius. Pure genius.”

“People obsess over goals, but tonight Messi reminded the world that football is about creating moments no one else can imagine. Two assists that changed a nation’s history. Two passes that carried Argentina into another World Cup final. That is the definition of greatness.”

“At 39, most legends are sitting in television studios talking about football. Messi is still writing football history. He isn’t surviving at this level he’s dominating it. That’s why I will always say there has never been, and there will never be, another player like Lionel Messi.”

“When this World Cup is over, don’t just remember the trophies or the statistics. Remember that you witnessed a 39-year-old genius walk into a World Cup semi-final against one of the strongest teams in the world… and make them look ordinary. We are watching the final chapters of the greatest football story ever written.”

The software industry has had many terrible software development ideologies foisted on it (I am looking at you, Agile) over the years.

In my nearly forty years of SWE experience I have come to the conclusion that that the most successful software projects are implemented by a small team of good developers that work well together and share a common vision.

AI code generation doesn't change this at all.

It just makes a small team of good developers more efficient.

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

Students need to learn how to use AI, but they also need to learn how to think for themselves. So in schools there should be some kinds of work where students are expected if not required to use AI, and others where it's banned, and no mushy middle ground in between.

De las 253 millones de canciones que existen hoy en las plataformas, 120 millones tuvieron menos de 10 reproducciones el año pasado. 

Hoy, se suben más de 106.000 temas por día. El 88% de toda la música que existe tuvo menos de mil reproducciones en todo el 2025. Deezer dijo que el 44% de las canciones que le suben, casi la mitad, están hechas con IA.

Con los libros pasa lo mismo: Amazon tuvo que poner un tope de tres por día por autor. ¡Mil por año!

El problema es que la producción se disparó, pero el día sigue teniendo 24 horas: subió la cantidad de cosas que se hacen, pero no la cantidad de gente que las recibe.

En Estados Unidos, la cantidad de adultos que lee por placer cayó un 40% en veinte años y en 2023 tocó el nivel más bajo registrado.

Antes, el primer gran cuello de botella era hacer la cosa: grabar el disco, escribir las 300 páginas, bancarte el rodaje. Ahora, hacer cosas tiene cada vez menos fricción y el problema está en conseguir alguien que la consuma.

The price of lighting has dropped over 99.9% since 1700—

In the last two centuries, the price of lighting has decreased drastically.

You can see this in the chart, which plots historical data from Roger Fouquet. To allow for comparisons over time, the data is adjusted for inflation and expressed in prices for the year 2000.

In the early 14th century, one million lumen-hours — a standard lighting measure — would have cost around £34,000 in 2000 prices. By 2023, this had fallen to £2.15, a 16,000-fold decline.

Innovations in lighting appliances, fuels, infrastructures, and institutions during the 19th and 20th centuries made this progress possible.

To put this in perspective, consider that a standard 100-watt incandescent light bulb today can emit about 1,600 lumens. Therefore, running one such bulb for 24 hours would produce about 40,000 lumen-hours.

That means that 1 million lumen-hours today would require continuously keeping a standard 100-watt incandescent bulb on for about 26 days. Achieving the same amount of light with candles would require 120 candles burning at once for that entire period.

Most people today take the ability to switch on a light at night for granted. But those who live or have lived without artificial light can appreciate how important it is.
