Designing sustainable tech experiences for all 🌌✨

If you are making room on your desk for a quantum computer, stop. You do not need one there: quantum computing is a specialist, not a faster PC.

Use it when a problem may benefit from a different way of computing, not just because you want more speed.

Microblog by @antgrasso

Most of the work will still be done by classical computers.

Take medical research.
A classical system can manage the data and the workflow, while a quantum processor is assigned a molecular simulation that may benefit from quantum computation. The result then returns to the classical workflow.

Hybrid approaches like this are already being explored in drug discovery and biological research.

Weather research gives another example.

Forecasting still depends on classical computing, but researchers are testing quantum-classical methods for parts of the process such as data assimilation. The quantum processor tackles a specific task; it does not replace the forecasting system around it.

In a hybrid system, classical computing keeps doing what it already does well. Quantum computation enters where its different way of computing may offer an advantage.

So the question is not: when will a quantum computer replace the machine on my desk?

A better question is: which part of a problem might justify calling in a quantum specialist?

Quantum computing is not the next PC.
It is another kind of compute for specific jobs.

In retrospect, game engines were not that different from inference engines — both need to support multiple users, batching requests, and agentic workflows (farmers and bots).

Gaming studios used to publish many papers on scalable engines that moved the frontier.

Every lab's new positioning: we're not losing, we're unsafe.

🐁 can scurry through dark, tight spaces with ease in caves, underground burrows, buildings or sewers

Their superpower is their whiskers. Now, tiny autonomous drones could soon navigate through darkness, dust and smoke using artificial whiskers inspired by these animals

Their small size limits the use of large or heavy sensors for navigation. That's why researchers at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) have developed a lightweight whisker-based tactile sensor that enables drones to navigate and explore their surroundings through gentle touch ▶️

More than half of the 23 states with comprehensive privacy laws have now amended their laws. Most recently, Delaware amended the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA). A new FPF blog provides an overview of these revisions.

This @GoogleDeepMind paper on Recursive Self-Improvement (Dream RSI) is wild!

The method doesn't work like magic on anything and everything that an AI researcher does, but it is a great tool for solving some really hard problems and bottlenecks.

For example, the kernel application alone could be a huge unlock for lots of new AI hardware and software.

Certain problems are of such scale and difficulty that no incentive prize is attached to them, as they are generally presumed to be unsolvable.

Even so, a few keep trying.

More digital tools do not always create more value. They can increase messages, meetings, notifications, and task tracking, while attention becomes fragmented and real outcomes remain unclear.

.@webuildscore just launched Score Studio, a Bittensor-powered platform where independent engineers can build and deploy vision systems using Score’s models.

Through Manako, Score brings that technology to enterprises like AVIA and has signed more major clients in recent weeks.

2 years ago, I started an SEO tool

the main narrative was: "SEO is dead", "ChatGPT will kill Google", "Ahrefs and Semrush own the market"

built it anyway, with a Ukrainian co-maker I had never met in person

today Outrank does $300k+ MRR

meanwhile, in the "worst startup idea" category:
- Semrush sold to Adobe for $1.9B
- Ahrefs is at ~$150M ARR with zero investors
- Profound raised $180M at $1.8B valuation this week

if a market is crowded, it means it's validated

SEO is not dead, it got us $3m+ with Outrank as it's the best tool right now to get cited in LLM answers

Best first. Then price.
A blended value score hides the worse-and-dearer row. Snapshot 25 Aug 2026: 409 models, 50 providers, 11 on the value frontier of 108 rated priced rows. Live board is the source. No cut of inference.

Shared AI context should not mean shared access.

mio brings company memory into Slack while preserving permissions. The same AI employee can serve the whole team without giving everyone the same access.

That boundary belongs in the architecture from day one.

AI already frees about five hours of work per person each week. Much of that time still disappears into low-value tasks, because workflows evolve slower than the technology that accelerates them.

Want realistic damage without destroying your polycount? Steal this game-art trick.

We scanned real chipped edges with KIRI Engine, baked the detail into decals, then applied them to simple low-poly geometry.

Every crack still catches the light—using only 3 polygons.

CEO of @googlecloud, @ThomasOrTK, said the cloud giant’s TPU accelerator chip business is doubling that of its hyperscaler competitors, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft, with Google TPUs’ return on investment better than GPUs in the AI era.

“The size of our accelerator business, our TPU business, is more than twice that of the next largest hyperscaler,” Kurian said recently at the @GoldmanSachs Communacopia Technology Conference.
