We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Revolut held sponsorship talks with FC Barcelona, but they got nowhere.

So, they hired Luís Figo, the man who left Barça in one of football's most infamous betrayals, for their new "Switch to Revolut" campaign.

The slogan: "Do it for your money."

POV : you are Linus Technology, David Protein's parent company

> you start using EPG in your products, a substitute that mimics the texture of fat with a fraction of the calories

> you buy the company that manufactures EPG
> shut out all your 'low calorie' competitors
> lie about the fat content in the protein bars anyway

> get sued for antitrust by competitors
> get sued again by customers

smh

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

when David Protein bars were a cornerstone of your healthy diet and you find out it has 83% more calories (275 cals vs. 165 cals) and 400% more fat (11g vs. 2g) than advertised

Bold Prediction : When we colonise Mars, the design language will follow the brutalist forms / communist aesthetic. Just very practical, modular and prefab.

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.
