Google in 2004: IE has 95% share of browsers. Why even compete Facebook in 2005: MySpace has 80% of the social media market. Why even compete? Apple in 2009: BlackBerry has 60% of smartphone sales. Why even compete?
TIL TSMC has 72% market share. Why would you even compete with them at this point. If I were Intel I’d shut shop.

A friend thinks there's a huge services business helping people build and use AI agents and bots. I hadn't thought about it that way. We talked about it for a while. Now I'm curious. If you were going to pay someone to help with AI agents, what would you want?
16%Build them for me
19%Teach me how to use them
32%Build and manage them
33%I'd rather figure it out

The frustrating thing about working in consumer is that you're always 1 a/b test away from massively improving any metric (except for retention)

Someone else's "to do list" doesn't have to be yours. It's hard to say no, but not every email, text message, voicemail or interaction warrants a response. It doesn't mean you don't like them or there's any assigned feelings to anything. It's just that time is finite and YOU get to choose how to spend yours. It's rarer than gold.

Safari on iOS makes it too easy for your beautiful website to get clipped under app chrome and look terrible. Here's how to fix it: joshpuckett.me/seamless-mobi…

If you sell on Shopify, I’d try something with Tobi’s new skill immediately. Ask your agent to shop for the kind of product you sell. Don’t mention your brand. Does it recommend you? We’ve spent 20 years at Crazy Egg helping stores understand why customers buy. This adds a whole new question.
Turn any existing Agent into the world's best personal shopper for you. The new shop skill: shop.md/ Add the skill & connect your Shop account & finally find the thing that you always wanted

Ben Wilson (@BenWilsonTweets) has stage 4 cancer and 4 kids under the age of 5. I want to help him as much as possible, so I invited him on the podcast to talk about his work studying history’s greatest leaders and what it’s like getting told he’s going to die at 38. He’s a good guy, a close friend, and one of my favorite podcasters. His work has benefited millions of people all across the world. Please watch this episode and see if you can help with medicine, introductions, or donations. 0:00 What Ben has learned from making How to Take Over the World and studying history’s greatest leaders. 55:51 Living like you're dying. Ben on facing cancer.

omfg @buildyourcorner has been charting in spain for months but we could NOT figure out why users couldn't access the app intermittently. even did 50 user cold calls and they kept saying they couldn't use the app at night which was annoying bc the whole use case is where to go out turns out la liga (spanish football league) has a court order letting them block cloudflare IPs during all match times to stop pirated streams aka ~360 matches × 2.5h per match ≈ 900 hours where corner is blocked i cannot believe lol

the beginning of infinity permanently radicalized me core idea is that nothing is ever settled and all of our existing knowledge can always be improved. and new knowledge lets us solve problems that on the surface appear to be permanent facts of life. and bc neither knowledge or problems are permanent, we’re always on the cusp of new discoveries and therefore new solutions. so while we have no idea on how to properly forecast the future, there is something grounding knowing that there’s still more knowledge to be discovered. and even in an era on abundant super intelligence, we still won’t reach the upper bound of knowledge creation. crazy.

what is the most effective and performant memory architecture for agents (validated in production) that understands temporality and supports dreaming?
