I loved the ending of @danwwang breakneck. Embrace the “developing” and we can build again in America. The 21st and 22nd century belong to us, pluralism, capitalism, and democracy. The only thing stopping us is ourselves. We’ll figure it out and we’ll win the war for ideas

The answer of whether world models are a risk to game engines is pretty much certainly Yes. Not because you can create games that compete with the traditional genre, but because you can steal time from games through new experiences. As @ballmatthew showed last year, TikTok is

These new Vail Resorts daily emails are so poorly executed. They just keep grooming their poor reputation adding spam to the mix.

Nothing fancy, but we made a few quick changes to Phaze and released them. Release velocity matters. 0.3.1 fixes an issue customers were having with Virtual Machines and includes a couple nice tweaks to the user experience. https://t.co/3t0umSCb34

I’m having fun, while also feeling similar levels of desperation, watching @WasatchSnow dive off the deep end with his sad posts about our winter.

Today, we released an alpha version of our new product - @Phaze_in ( https://t.co/AFjD4TJ5Cy). We're back at it trying to make a great remote desktop product for people to access workstations from anywhere. Remote desktop is an unsexy space, but it's something millions of

If you’re thinking about leaving Silicon Valley, consider the Salt Lake area. 7 world class ski resorts + Park City Mountain. Unlimited activities in the summer (biking, mountain biking, hiking, golfing, boating). 5 national parks. Having balance in life is important even when

Skepticsm about the value of AI depends on your personal context. Using AI to do things that were literally impossible before (or would have taken an outrageous investment) makes it feel like magic. For example, you may want to design a new website, but you're not sure what it

I believe in AI, and I also expect we will overbuild, leading to a glut of datacenters. Capitalism drives over investment in opportunities like this. Even if we hit the bull cases of AI, that will cause even more data center investments. All of this capital will be the foundation

Aggregating demand and building a dominant marketplace in an industry is a very good business.
Valve, the makers of Steam, Half-Life and CounterStrike, made ~$17B in revenue this year with ~336 employees. That's >$50M per employee, the highest for any (non-crypto) company in the world. The average pay is ~$1.3M/person. One of the most efficient businesses of all time.

This is esoteric news, but the impact of disabling hardware support for HEVC on devices has a big impact. It means people cannot playback high quality video on Netflix and other video streaming products on their computers without taking additional steps. The chipsets support this

It's fun to think about what we'll do with that left over productive capital. Perhaps, electricity becomes so cheap that Americans move to electric appliances from natural gas. Then there will need to be new appliance servicers who know how to service electric appliances instead

And when we overbuild, what will we be left with? Depreciated short-term assets, like Nvidia chips, or long-term productive assets, like electricity generation and data centers.
