We had a fun afternoon with Madison Adventure Tours exploring a 9-mile loop around town and hearing the history of various locations. The e-bikes were great and made the tour just fun and comfortable.
Emerged from water
Saw this prompt and wanted to give it a try.
A black and white close-up portrait with visible water droplets and small bubbles on the face like the subject just emerged from water. The mood should feel intense and cinematic, with a dark, minimal background.
Looks really intense to me. I’m not so sure it looks like me, but it does look a lot like my Grandpa to me. Oh wait, maybe I’m just old!? 😬
See my cousin Quinn’s.
A brand new AI startup with great pedigree and a $12 billion valuation.
Thinking Machines Lab, a buzzy AI startup founded by Mira Murati, raised $2bn in new capital, valuing the firm at $12bn. Ms Murati has recruited an impressive roster of researchers from OpenAI, where she was previously chief technology officer. That helped to persuade Nvidia and AMD, two giant chipmakers, to invest, even though the firm currently lacks much of a strategy (or revenue). — Economist, World in Brief, July 16, 2025
These numbers make the “dot com” bubble look like nothing.
I’ve been getting great responses from Claude lately and using it even more than ChatGPT. I’m wondering if ChatGPT’s memory feature doesn’t make it a little “over fit” to the user. Claude seems to have an easier time coming up with fresh ideas. So interesting.
Delicious smashburgers tonight. Everything else as dialed in and just right! 🍔🍔🍔
Look up. 🌳
It makes me super nostalgic that digg is back on the web — my profile. I felt compelled to order a shirt in celebration. 🎉
I submitted POAP2RSS to the POAP Directory of apps that extend the POAP ecosystem. 🤞
Absolutely incredible valuation — first to $4,000,000,000,000.
Nvidia became the first company to reach a market capitalisation of more than $4trn. The chipmaker has prospered despite concerns about Mr Trump’s tariffs and the rise of Chinese artificial-intelligence firms. Shares in the American company soared by almost 3% on Wednesday before falling slightly. Nvidia’s rise has been rapid. It only hit a valuation of $1trn in 2023. — The Economist, World in Brief, July 10th 2025
And I thought NVDA was overvalued 2 years ago. Wow.
