an interesting evening in chicago hearing from Kalshi co-founder @luanalopeslara and WIRED’s @Knibbs on the future of prediction markets and institutional adoption.
great event by @BlondiePredicts
the venue wasn’t bad either!
Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.
Made with Opus 5.5

It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.
spent today judging "The New Agentic Economy" hackathon with @GoogleDeepMind, @supabase, @forever22ai, @Google
happy to sit next to my friend + fellow judge Erin from @PayPal which it’s pretty apparent: the best teams shipping agentic products have commerce tied into the user experience.
@opheliaapi strives to support builders, creators, or any companies that want to explore autonomous purchases into their flows.
we also got to present "The People Award" to “Echo” for AR wearable software built for blind patients, since everything we build at @opheliaapi is built for platforms, but made for people.
very exciting time to witness incredible change, cheers to progress! huge congrats to the other winners + @kayacancode + @betaworks for hosting the best event :)
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

building with @GoogleDeepMind this saturday in NYC.
your judges: Erin Gillespie, Rohil Saraf, Mayhul Arora + @BoBrainerd.
bring a problem. build an agent. demo what works.

I haven’t touched Claude Code or Codex CLI in a while.
The terminal era is over imo. It's the wrong interface for coding agents. Tabs are ephemeral, but context is persistent, and managing 30 tabs is pure cognitive overhead.
I don’t really need an IDE like Cursor either. I rarely navigate the whole codebase anymore.
The new primitive is the agent, not the file.
(Codex desktop app is the best agentic UI for now. But we’re still early.)
See how Sagar keeps his eyes on the soldering iron while Griffin talks him through the job and counts the seconds for him. Time is part of the conversation too, not just words. That's what a good coach does without being asked.
not really for or against this.
lots of positive use cases will come from this, but i can also see a world where this somehow makes us even lonelier.
next few years are going to be interesting.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
