lacking in 3 of the 4 aspects of emotional intelligence

Anthropic’s Claude is the best product in history.

[Kyle @zeroxkyle]

Reading what the CEO of Anthropic wrote, it is more clear than ever you basically have less than a 5 year window to hyper-gamble your way into elite status or end up a serf for life

We're in the Endgame now.

@Lottie0817 @KaareJohnson Well if it was full of parking lots it would look like every other soulless shopping street in America. The lack of parking is precisely why you (and I, and everyone) love it so much

[Haiderade @_HLaghari]

Terrible take. 7am (or earlier) flight are never delayed, everyone is quiet because they’re tired, you have all day at your destination. Adults take the earliest flight possible

[“paula” @paularambles]

at some point you have to accept that you've aged out of 7am flights

Best decision we ever made to move here. My wife and I say “Only in Austin” at least weekly because of the new opportunities and the people we keep meeting.

Austin Superpowers

Help-First Culture → open networks & fast collaboration

We Build Everything → homes, rockets, robots, companies, & community

Living in the Future → we create innovation & deploy it locally (robotaxis, 3D-printed homes, delivery robots, Alpha School & UATX)

The Power of “And” → tech + art, science + industry, digital + physical

Austin Cool Factor → F1, SXSW, ACL NASCAR, monster trucks, and the rodeo

Challenges

The closest Big 4 team is the Spurs. Otherwise it’s Houston or Dallas for NBA, MLB, and NFL. UT football and Austin FC are our “pro” teams

When I lived in San Diego, we took the kids to museums and zoos often and I miss that here. Austin needs more cultural assets unique to our city. Dataland, the first AI art museum, should have been here, not LA.

Restaurant scene is actually great and growing, but not anywhere near the scale of NYC. Being acknowledged by Michelin now

Need to crack down on homelessness, crime, and over spending by City Council

[Eric Bandholz @bandholz]

People shit on Austin for being blue.

But man, they just rejected a tax increase to "help homeless people."

It's also been building a ton to drive down home costs.

Austin does a good job of straddling the line between empathy and logic.

If you make $300k+ moving numbers around spreadsheets and boxes around PowerPoint slides, you probably shouldn’t quit and buy a plumbing company

Season 5 should be in Destin, Florida aka the Redneck Riviera

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

‘THE WHITE LOTUS’ Season 4 will be set in Paris and the French Riviera at five-star hotels.

The new season will likely unfold mostly in the South of France, with a subplot in Paris.

First thing you discover when you move to Texas is that it is not a low tax state.

AI Boom vs. Dot Com Bubble.

Scary.

Nietzsche, what a line

[Sagnik Basu @_sagnikbasu]

I moved to America about a decade ago.

Illegal immigration is annoying. So are kids born here repping foreign flags and calling their parents’ homeland “home.”

America doesn’t need more “citizens of the world,” or border-hoppers hustling fake handbags on Canal Street. She needs immigrants who come not just for ‘life here is better’, but who will mould themselves to align with America’s history and founding. Assimilation isn’t bigotry — it’s the price of entry.

I don’t even wanna talk about Dearborn, Michigan.

@xurbanxcowboyx As a guy who splits time between Seattle and Austin, the light rail and the town lake trail are both huge parts of my life, so this is very pleasing to see

TOMORROW, WE BUILD!

Starting tomorrow, SB 840 will go into effect, officially making it legal to build housing on every commercially zoned lot in Texas cities of populations over 150k.

This is possibly the single largest statewide zoning change in the entire country.
