Dear Anthropic team,

- whats the avg sleep schedule look like
- how many agents are you running per person
- do you have time to work out
- do you eat 2-3 meals a day
- what’s it feel like to lowkey dominate the market rn

[klöss @kloss_xyz]

imagine you’re Travis Kalanick

you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves

then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign

so you step down

the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future

gone

$4 billion to Aurora

the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale

silicon valley moves on
as they always do

but you don’t

you don’t really forget

you go quiet, completely quiet

you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens

you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees

and nobody even knows the name
eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn

then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore

it’s a robotics company

1. food
2. mining
3. transport

your first move?

acquiring Pronto

the autonomous vehicle startup

built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program

oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth

now he’s coming back to work with you
and the reports say Uber itself

the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo

the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing

poetic justice

your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved

you call it the golden age

your manifesto ends with three words:

“I never left”

eight years of silence

then this

but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation

everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story

it’s neither

you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention

that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like

most founders would’ve stayed bitter

most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island

you didn’t do any of that
you just kept building

and now the same people who pushed you out need you again

so whether you love him or hate him

the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building

karma is real

welcome back Travis

Hi.

My name is Halli. I'm the founder and CEO of Ueno. First of all, I want to say yes, @uenodotco is back.

I'm kind of surprised myself. I wasn't really planning on it. I started Ueno in my apartment in Reykjavík, Iceland in 2014. And seven years later I sold it to Twitter for a lot of money.

But it wasn't the money. That's maybe hard to believe but that wasn't the reason. Business was great, I didn't need money. I needed a new challenge.
Ueno had grown over those seven years to multiple offices and over 100 people. We were working with the biggest brands in the world on some really exciting projects. But still, I felt like something was missing.

I had been on the outside for a long time, working for companies to make something and then we’d hand it off to them to nurture and grow it. I wanted to be on the inside of a big company and see things through, to see them grow.

I wanted a challenge and the biggest one I could find was Twitter. To help people make better connections, to find their communities, engage more earnestly.

Things didn't turn out like I expected. But in hindsight that's not really what matters. We did some great work and I learned more than I could have imagined. About corporate ups and downs, and about my own ups and downs. I saw things you wouldn’t believe.

And then suddenly I was free and I went and made some other things. I built a lot of wheelchair ramps, I built a restaurant and movie theater, a bank, a recording studio, a community for creative people. I started a podcast, released a visual album, acted in some movies.
I did everything I always wanted to do.

And it was great.

But after four years away from Ueno it kept picking at me.

This little itch. The feeling I get when someone comes with something that's just an idea and they want our help to see it become real. It feels like magic. Like alchemy. I missed that feeling.

And so, yes, Ueno is back.

Blammo!

Are you a dev working at a company? If so you probably have left over education budget.

I don't make paid education materials (yet), but a bunch of cool people do.

[AppleLeaker @LeakerApple]

This is exactly why the iPhone has had this triangular camera array ever since it got a triple camera setup. The distance between each focal length is equivalent for any lens transition, whether it be from 1X to ultrawide or ultrawide to 5X telephoto.
On the Galaxy devices however, not all focal lengths are an equal distance away. The transition between the ultrawide to the wide camera is different to the transition between the ultrawide to 5X, or 3X to 5X for example. This causes larger differences in viewing angle between the cameras which is harder to fix through software and hence the weird jitter or misalignment you see when you switch lenses on Samsung devices.
In fact, this is the issue with a quad camera system, there is no 2D arrangement where all 4 points are equidistant from each other, causing at least one combination of lens switches to be different from the rest and potentially impeding on smooth lens switching.
