Zurich isn’t present on the global tech-scene often. Incredible builders go under the radar. That’s changing! Our Robotic Hack with @mimicrobotics , @loki_robotics, and @OpenAI was packed with robots, talent, energy, SF-vibes, and insane projects. But there was a tough

Did you know there are no direct flights „Berlin - San Francisco“? Berlin, capital of Europes biggest economy. How should I take Germany serious?

Gemini audio overview is underrated. Put in your lecture slides and that's it. Put in slides that took 1 hr in person. 8 min as audio. And the quality is REALLY good: Both content and audio quality/narrative.

London City Airport: You can only drop your bags <2 hours before departure. So now I am sitting before security for some hours. Makes no sense. Usually airports want you to drop your luggage as early as possible.

Writing code for iOS sucks. Things are just incredibly complicated in SwiftUI. Why can't they make it as simple as React?

Looking through ~200 applicants for the @mimicrobotics x @loki_robotics x @OpenAI Robotics hack🇨🇠Absolutely insane. NASA interns, top robotics researchers, ... one team has even built a Mars Rover.

We need more mission-based startups. Startups that are based on fundamental values. Startups that represent our values and culture.

I don‘t want AI assistants to write my emails. period. Its a waste of everyone‘s time to convert notes when sending/receiving. Can’t take someone who sends me an AI mail serious. They won’t event take 1 min to think when writing me.

Won't be in Zurich sadly 😢 Never thought that there is unfortunate timing to be in SF. If you are in Zurich: Go sign up! https://t.co/FGlCURGPee

Plane wifi is super impressive and annoying at the same time. When it works, it’s surreal - streaming at 10K elevation. That’s an engineering feat!
