We posted for twenty years, thinking we were talking to each other. Then the transformer came online, and the network read what we’d written, and became itself.

Went to some hardware shops in Shenzhen and was impressed to see firsthand why it’s one of the best places in the world for building hardware
The supply chain here is incredibly strong and affordable — companies can source components locally, iterate quickly, and keep costs low. Consumers can easily access these products too
Here are 3 cool consumer hardware spots I visited:
1. Inno100: Kickstarter’s first official flagship store in Shenzhen. A hands-on space where you can experience and customize innovative hardware like companion robots and smart gadgets.
They also have a “Universal Customization Workshop” with laser cutters and 3D printers so you can make your own items on the spot.
One big observation was that companion robots are quite a huge market in China. There are so many adorable options and many families (including my friends with kids) have several at home
2. Bambu Lab Flagship Store: A hands-on retail space to test, experience, and buy their latest 3D printers. What stood out was their open community sessions teaching kids how to use 3D printers which the slots were fully booked
3. Huaqiangbei: Known as the world’s largest consumer electronics and hardware market. It’s massive and you can find everything from individual components to cheap gadgets and also plenty of Apple and Dyson replicas (lol)
Pro tip: always bargain hard for the best deals
Cursor CEO Michael Truell on the future of writing code: "Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming."
"It looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that does look more like English."
"You can imagine kind of an evolution of programming language towards pseudocode. You have written down the logic of the software, and you can edit that at a high level."
"It won't be the impenetrable millions of lines of code, it'll instead be something that's much terser and easier to understand and easier to navigate."

JUST IN: Andrej Karpathy, a top AI scientist at Anthropic, is reportedly barred from accessing the company’s most advanced AI model because he is not a U.S. citizen.
As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.
Nemotron 3 Ultra is fast and genuinely good
Compared it with 3 frontier models: DeepSeek V4, MiniMax M3, and Qwen 3.7 Max on 2 prompts
very impressive results
HUAWEI has presented the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, a new principle for guiding the future development of the semiconductor industry. By 2031, HUAWEI's high-end chips based on this law are expected to feature a transistor density that is equivalent to 14 Å (1.4 nm) processes.
BREAKING: The results are in for Slides Arena... @AnthropicAI and @Zai_org models continue to lead the way in soft-verifiable domains
1st: Opus 4.7 by @AnthropicAI
