This is how AI forward companies are reshaping themselves

[Daniel Beauchamp @pushmatrix]

Since Quick launched in July 2025, we’ve collectively built more than 50,000 sites. Over 50% of employees have at least one Quick site.

When you remove the barriers to build & share, it’s incredible what happens.

More examples of how we’re using Quick :

Beware AI FUD, many such cases.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

I'm suspicious of that that whole story about Uber blowing their AI budget and being disappointed in the results - I dug into it and it appears to have been built on very shaky foundations

We have seen in tech cycles where value accrues. Database companies have had the hardest time getting the combined valuations of the applications built on top of their product. As models become plug and play commodity with an optimizer sitting between the harness and model layer, value will move further up the stack.

[Kun Chen @kunchenguid]

i'm strongly against model companies focusing too much on harness, but i would love to hear if anyone has a strong argument for it

my reason against it:

if openai didn't build GPT 5.5, no one else can. this is their core competence

if openai didn't build codex cli and app, we have opencode and t3code. building harness is NOT their core competence

this is not saying products like claude code, codex aren't good - i genuinely think these are top tier products built by really talented people

my point is - the world might be a better place if model companies focus more on their core capability and give us better, faster, safer and cheaper models, rather than competing with the ecosystem in the application layer

what do you think?

Prepare to train your mind even more than the body. I have been in many matches where I was in great metabolic condition but my mind just didn’t work for variety of reasons and I couldn’t hear my coaches or I heard them but couldn’t act even the most obvious moves that I know very well.

Here is how I have been successful and still working to improve:
I have performed very well in tournaments where I was much more relaxed and casual. Instead of going on some type of a zone, I have tried to banter with my teammates etc. My coach asked me to visualize success and precise opening plays and not to veer from my planned path to submission. I have written down the path and checks on my phone which I am reviewing while waiting for match to start. Sure you can go 1 or 2 moves off the path but make sure to return to your game you have planned, visualized and trained 100s of time as opposed to the path your opponent wants to take which you may or may not be familiar with. I drilled my plan many times with variety of resistance and with partners that knew and partners that didn’t know.

To work on the unpredictable, I do positional defensive and offensive sparring during regular training. Knowing that my defense is top notch gives me confidence to put myself in vulnerable positions offensively.

8 years since first @TensorFlow Dev Summit with @JeffDean kicking things off

[Mo Patel @mopatel]

I am at #TFdevsummit let's connect if you are in the Google Mountain View location

@alvations Yes certainly challenging and the number of new approaches is staggering that it is hard to keep up, need a continuous updating survey paper

[Mo Patel @mopatel]

@alvations Is this helpful, I came across a talk from the team in YT recommendations and found their approach interesting https://t.co/odHsbI3MuT

[Mo Patel @mopatel]

@ronbodkin @RnaudBertrand @bgurley Agree with Arnaud. Directionally we should strive for safe unbiased open source models. However, the DeepSeek team needs to be commended for releasing a high capable model openly. Overall this moves the field forward and that is a good thing.

@pmarca Quick googling tells me, energy costs in China are 8-9 cents vs 🇺🇸 17. Costs in 🇺🇸 have increased 2.67% annually in last 25 years. 🇺🇸 is an energy rich nation, so the problem is self inflicted. How can 🇺🇸 grow with a coil compressing force that is our energy policy?
