Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering.
The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.
My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.
While you slept last night, completely still in your bed, our galaxy moved millions of kilometers through the cosmos. You woke up in the same room, on the same planet, yet unimaginably far from where you were the night before.
The Milky Way is not drifting quietly through the universe. It is racing through space at around 600 kilometers per second, carrying billions of stars, planets, and everything on them along for the ride.
It is a good reminder that even when life feels motionless, you are always in motion.

I am giving a big Chinese tech company a tour of CES this year. First time I have given 20 nerds from China a tour.
This was our favorite thing on the show floor.
Unitree’s $30,000, 180cm (nearly 6 ft tall) H2 humanoid robot. This version is likely powered by an Nvidia Jetson AGX Thor platform, built on Blackwell architecture.
🤖 Robotic hands are evolving faster than we realize — and they’re learning to master our world.
I find this both fascinating and a little unsettling.
At first glance, these robotic hands still look awkward - stiff fingers, clumsy motion.
But behind the scenes, every iteration brings:
➡️ Tighter sensors
➡️ Smarter control loops
➡️ Better training on human-designed objects
Week by week, they move closer to something astonishing — not imitation, but mastery.
They’re learning to grip, twist, and adapt to tools made for our anatomy.
And once they reach human-level dexterity, they won’t stop there.
They’ll surpass it — steadier than surgeons, faster than assembly lines, tireless and precise.
This is more than robotics. It’s the moment machines stop mimicking us… and start outperforming us.
How do we redefine “human skill” in a world where robots master it too?
