I feel like I have written this post three times already, but this one is a different flavor of that same post. Good news, everyone! Apple has announced its new desktop computers. On August 25th, the Mac Mini got the M6, which is Apple’s first 2 nm chip. It has a 12-core CPU, a 12-core[read more]

On August 10th, Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word essay called “The Future is for Everyone.” I think I speak for everyone who read all 6,500 words when I say, “Holy shitballs that dude is completely disconnected from reality.” I have read a lot of summaries of the essay, and I’m wondering if, perhaps, I was[read more]

Meta’s first move was kind of interesting: Right out of the gate, they had an open approach to how large language models and agents were going to work. This surprised me because I don’t use Meta products. I think Facebook is hot garbage, filled with angry boomers who can’t discern the difference between information and[read more]

I was in my dad’s living room, and Will called me. I remember walking out of the room, so I could be mindful of my family. I closed the door behind me, and we talked about our kids. Laughter is such a simple equalizer. In this dream I have, I’m on a porch with Will,[read more]

Iran went after three dozen Minnesota water systems. Minnesota makes ammunition. Nobody should have to draw you a map, but I’m going to draw you a map. When I was initially reading the reporting on this story, it felt darkly comedic. It felt like a Coen Brothers film. The mayor of a little town called[read more]

Yesterday (Tuesday, July 14th, 2026 for those of you who are time travelers from the future), IBM lost roughly a quarter of its entire market value in a single session. That is the worst single-day drop in the company’s history[read more]

Every few days some dude posts this exact “thinkpost” to LinkedIn. It is always giving the same energy: A dude who discovered last Tuesday that VRAM exists, and would now like to explain it to you. Slowly, and in the most remedial way possible. It reminds me of the way I try to coax my[read more]

On any given Saturday or Sunday in America, for roughly 21 weeks a year, there is a scene that plays out the same way in every household: A middle-aged man or woman, perhaps someone who has consumed two or three beers, frustrated, yells at their television because they believe that they are better at calling[read more]

For most of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the New England Patriots were a uniquely mediocre football team. They weren’t always tragically bad. They weren’t the worst team in the league. They were just persistently below average. Sure, every once in a while they would have a year that was surprising and have a winning[read more]
