In the 1960s through 1970s, huge numbers of buildings in New York City were abandoned, because their owners could not make enough money to cover the expense of providing apartments to their tenants, could not legally get rid of their tenants so long as the building stood, and could not sell their buildings because no one wanted an “asset” that permanently lost money month after month. The only non-destructive recourse that they had available was to disappear, and so thousands of buildings eventually had their landlords vanish. A relatively small number of landlords hired arsonists to burn their buildings to the ground, because the destruction of the building was literally the only means by which a lease could be broken, leaving them at least with a vacant lot that didn’t cost them money. Large chunks of the city started to resemble a warzone.
My favorite thing @om wrote was actually an interview with Brunello Cucinelli in 2015. And to this day, I think it’s the single best thing you can read on running a business. Better than any book, better than any article.

IBM just unveiled a sub-1 nanometer chip breakthrough.
That honestly wasnt on my bingo card.
Its new 0.7 nm / 7 angstrom technology uses a 3D "nanostack" transistor architecture to vertically stack and stagger transistors.
IBM says it can fit nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail, almost 2x the density of its 2 nm chip from 2021.
• up to 50% more performance
• or 70% better energy efficiency
• 40% SRAM scaling for AI workloads
Important caveat: this is still research, not a chip shipping tomorrow. IBM says production could happen as early as the next 5 years.
We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.
Introducing Aleph, a research lab building brain interfaces for the telepathic future. (1/n)
Today’s mission includes a demo of a new vehicle that will enable affordable, routine access to the microgravity environment for scientific research and in-space manufacturing. After demonstrating controlled flight, the spacecraft will splash down in the Pacific Ocean
