the most successful people i know seemingly have endless energy to express raw effort in every aspect of their lives- they live intensely, joyfully, and equally effortlessly in all aspects of life and work.

Larry Page reportedly has a number for how much computing will end up in space: five nines. As in 99.999%.
@patrick_oshag heard it secondhand: "Someone asked Larry Page how much of compute will be orbital, and he said five-nines."
@martin_casado's reason it might happen: "It's just basically regulatory." He thinks there are 500 proposed bills to stop data center building in the US, Texas included.

This should be a very simple fix to allow an already-existing private school campus to be a private school.
Alpha School parents all over the US are very excited for potential winter exchange sessions in Park City :)
Cc @SpencerJCox @owenfuller
Utah did a really smart thing and passed legislation making it easier for microschools to open without having to navigate all the usual red tape around local zoning and permitting.
So when @Alphaschool approached me last year about opening a school on a property I own in Park City, it seemed like a perfect fit. The property had been home to a 150-kid private school for years.
Ironically, despite the history of the property and a state law that explicitly makes microschools a permitted use in every county zoning district, Summit County has refused to issue @Alphaschool a business license without first requiring a conditional use permit. Which seems like the exact thing the law was intended to prevent.
So now we have a perfectly good six-acre school campus sitting empty while we figure out where else in Park City we're allowed to educate children.
Makes loads of sense.
@SpencerJCox little help 🙏

Can a designer-founder win the VC game ignoring all its rules?
Karri Saarinen’s uncompromising and distinct approach to quality has made him an iconic designer/CEO. Will that same playbook hold up in the agentic age?

Agents are going to get their own computers. @boxerbk and team are the best.
Today we’re announcing an $8.75M seed round for Phaze.
Companies aren’t ready for how many computers people and AI agents are about to need. And it’s happening just as computer prices are up 3x.
Chris and I spent years building Parsec to make a computer thousands of miles away feel like it’s sitting right in front of you. We sold that company, and we’re starting over because people aren’t the only users of computers anymore.
Now, agents need access to real computers to run applications, test software, and get work done. They need to work alongside people, hand off control when necessary, and operate within the security policies companies already have in place. And companies need to start managing computers like infrastructure.
That’s why we’re building @Phaze_in: secure, high-performance access to computers, wherever those machines happen to be.
An engineer can connect to a CAD workstation from any device and forget about being physically stuck at that workstation. A video editor can ask an AI agent to connect to a render machine to monitor and fix broken renders. An IT support person can fix multiple machines at the same time with an AI agent connecting to employees’ computers. If the agent needs help, it can hand control back to the technician in the same session.
We loved working with the firms who backed Parsec, so we’re running it back. Our Seed round is led by @martin_casado at @a16z, with @bryce at @indievc, @davidbeisel at @NextViewVC, @BenjLerer at @LererHippeau, and @Ryann_Lai at @makersfundvc.

Proud to back @boxerbk and Chris a second time with @Phaze_in.
Years ago my memo for their previous startup Parsec said they were “shifting GPUs from local hardware to servers in the cloud.” Same idea, much bigger moment, now that agents need computers too.
Why we @NextViewVC invested with them again: nextview.vc/blog/why-we-at-n…

Miraculous update on @BenWilsonTweets’s cancer fight:
“There has been enormous shrinkages in my tumor load. It’s unbelievable.“
“For a few months I had one foot in the grave. I was not a good father. I was just laying on the couch for a few months. Now I can coach my daughter’s soccer game. I can run around with them and give them piggyback rides and throw them into the air. I didn’t think I’d have any more days like this, of basically feeling normal again. Now I’m stacking weeks. That’s where I’m at.”
“I’m hoping this buys us a few years for new drugs to come out”
“I’ve got people from all over the world contacting me about exciting new therapies.”

@Google's TPUs are working great in orbit! To confirm everything was working in space, it wrote a haiku -- a little different than our typical first lights. :) 🧠🛰️
Lots more testing to do, but this is a major milestone! Congrats to the @planet and @Google Suncatcher team!
