Nights 1&2 in Charlotte (Zac’s): here is a thick air mattress with a sheet and a mattress pad and a fleece blanket and nice pillow
Night 3 in Charlotte (Eric’s): [with a thin and questionable air mattress] “Oh I guess you want a blanket” *throws me an uncovered duvet*

They are putting DATA CENTERS in the ocean now.

Panthalassa, a startup from Portland, just raised $140 MILLION.

what they do: build floating platforms that sit out at sea and run AI. no power grid needed. the ocean waves make all the electricity. the seawater keeps the chips cool.

How it works: big floating balls bob up and down with the waves. that motion makes power. the power runs the AI chips inside.

backed by PETER THIEL. company now worth almost $1 BILLION.

land is running out of room and power for AI. so the next move is simple. go to the sea.

so this is insane

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

- hand finishing, over 60 hours spent per watch
- a Swiss mechanical movement made in-house with finishing hand-applied to every component
- single-watchmaker assembly and regulation to run within company standards

[Creighton @craykling]

All good points with a lot of emphasis on price - but missing the reason the original goes for $40k as one of the most labor-intensive watches there is
- engraved guillouche dial made w techniques no longer taught at watchmaking school, but passed down by AP watchmakers (cont)

The Casio in this photo costs $90. The watch it's copying was once the most expensive stainless steel watch in the world, nearly ten times the price of a Rolex Submariner. Today it sells for $40,100 and people wait years to buy one. Casio just started making the same look for $90.

In 1971, a Swiss watchmaker called Audemars Piguet was on the edge of collapse. Cheap quartz watches from Japan, more accurate than the best Swiss mechanicals and selling for almost nothing, were destroying Swiss watchmaking. Between 1970 and 1983, the number of Swiss watch companies dropped from 1,600 to 600. By 1988, the industry had lost more than 60,000 of its 90,000 workers.

On April 10, 1971, the head of Audemars Piguet phoned a young designer named Gérald Genta at 4pm. He wanted a stainless steel watch nobody had ever seen, sketched by morning. The world's biggest watch trade show opened the next day.

Genta worked through the night. He drew an eight-sided ring around the watch face, held by visible screws, with a steel bracelet that flowed straight out of the case. He called it the Royal Oak. It launched in 1972 at 3,300 Swiss francs, costing more than a solid gold watch from Patek Philippe, one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world. Until then, steel was what you used for cheap, everyday watches. Almost nobody bought one at first.

Four years later, Genta did it again for Patek Philippe. Sitting at dinner during the 1974 watch trade show, he spotted the head of Patek Philippe across the room, asked a waiter for a napkin, and sketched a second watch in five minutes. They called it the Nautilus. It launched in 1976.

These two designs created the entire luxury sports watch category. The Royal Oak Jumbo today retails for $40,100. The steel Patek Nautilus 5711 was discontinued in 2021 and now trades around $135,000 used. A Tiffany & Co. version of the Nautilus sold at auction for $6.5 million in 2021.

The watch in the photo is the Casio MTP-B195D-2A, which launched in November 2025. It has the same eight-sided ring as the Royal Oak, with a flowing steel bracelet, a blue dial, a date window at three, and a three-year battery. The design invented to save Swiss luxury from Japan is now being made by Japan for $90, one 445th of what Audemars Piguet charges for the original.

unfortunately my favorite shit is indeed stop clap hey shit. my top albums this year are going to be Mumford and Noah. I regret nothing.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Noah Kahan on being placed in the “stomp clap hey” genre, which many have called “dated”:

“I always thought the millennial 2010s thing was brilliant, and I never stopped loving it. A lot of times people [hear my music] and are like, ‘This is just some Mumford & Sons shit.’ I’m like, ‘I love Mumford & Sons!’”
