GQ asking Tom Cruise why he hasn’t done a real interview since 2012 and him saying “I just haven’t had the time, with the things that I set in motion.” Beautiful bullshit…I’ve got to start saying that

Illustrated snoopy and Woodstock as Mia and Sebastian from la la land. My serotonin shot up once I realised they have the same colour palette as Mia and Sebastian:))))

The reason most people stay average is because that’s how normal distribution works 😭

TOP GUN BACK IN THEATRES

Tim Cook is one of the greatest CEOs of all time and the cope from the haters this cycle has been frankly a sight to behold.

When he took over Apple in 2011, it was a $350B consumer hardware company that was selling the iPhone 4 lol. Now it’s a $4T+ free cash flow machine where Services alone is a $100B+ ARR business & AirPods is a bigger standalone business than most Fortune 500 companies. Going from a Phone OEM to a company with monster recurring revenue without breaking the core product is not easy to pull off.

Now people will see this master stroke and then be like oh but they are falling behind in the AI race. The problem with that line of thinking is that people think "AI strategy" means setting $100B on fire to rent H100s and become a low-margin neocloud. They want Apple to just blow all of their money instead of building a real differentiated product. Apple probably looked at the inference market early on and correctly decided not to play a game where the winner gets 20% gross margins and a terrible balance sheet and let everybody else fight it out. Nvidia did the same thing. Neoclouds look more like industrials why the fuck would you destroy your 75% margins for that?

The actual Apple AI strategy is a lot more smarter than haters give credit to. They own the silicon, own the OS, and can run inference on the device better than anyone.

M5 ships with neural accelerators in every GPU core, 153 GB/s unified memory bandwidth and if you believe flash has room to run… much more. Your data never leaves the phone, your AI never goes down because AWS had a bad day, and you don't get billed by the token. No competitor has the silicon plus OS plus distribution to replicate that and I truly believe on device inference for trillion parameter models is coming in next 5 years. The fact that Ternus is succeeding Tim Cook is very bullish for that. They didn't pick a finance guy or a services guy. They picked the head of hardware engineering because the board knows this is the future for Apple.

The people dunking on Cook have never built a free cash flow business in their lives. You actually need to be successful first to understand why a business needs to defend a margin profile, allocate capex against a portfolio, or make a decision that looks slow now but obvious for 10 years. You can't expect the junior varsity players to understand the decisions a pro would make.

Ayer vi Ocean’s Eleven y Ocean’s Twelve y llegué a la conclusión de que al cine moderno le falta carisma, buena iluminación, colores, blocking, y gente guapa que no tenga la misma cara de influencer que todos los demás actores.

[Aakash Kumar @aakashkumar09]

@josephradhik Yep the more squarish/rectangular components don’t feel consistent with the more curvy exterior of a Ferrari. I feel the Porsche Taycan’s display shapes would work really well here but with the same UI and UX as shown above

London will always be one of my favourite places due to its mix of modern and historical architecture

[𝐬 🇬🇧⸆⸉ @redelitist]

oh london you will never not be the greatest city on earth 😮‍💨

[رشاد @RashadJuniorr]

coming from the biggest Roger fanboy you'll ever come across but it should be a criminal offense to call anyone else the goat other than this Serbian freak of nature right here. I'm in awe again

[Aakash Kumar @aakashkumar09]

@josephradhik A Porsche Macan might become an enticing alternative in the BMW X3/Audi Q5/Merc GLC category if the majority of the benefits are passed on to the consumers

[Aakash Kumar @aakashkumar09]

The subplots in this movie were genuinely crazy
