Consistency & quality both matter. But when building new habits, I start by focusing solely on consistency. I journaled exactly 1 page of my notebook everyday for years.
A long time later, assuming success at being consistent, I focus intently on quality. And with the shift to quality, my consistently usually falls. And that’s very okay (with me!) - because 1 win at a time is better than none, and often it's none.

try this out at silkhq.co and tell me it doesn’t make you wanna vibe code
Tesla’s self driving is so good, I no longer want a car without it. But their interior and exterior design choices, both current and future concept designs are just awful and far worse than cars below and above their price points.
I’d love to see them just copy Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, whatever you drive. The lowest models of each just crush Teslas interior (most exteriors too). I mean that across 100s of models across brands and packages. As long as the car has leather seats, it’s better than Tesla, but not something I want if it doesn’t have Teslas self driving.
It’s not that I want Tesla to win the car market, I just want them to expose the excellence of what they’ve built which is their self-driving. So many would benefit.
Randomly heard Sam Altman say Elon needs to be “that guy” and it’s so deeply reflected in his grandiose (yet poor) design decisions across every single Tesla. Sad to see it.

There is a time for any fledgling artist where one’s taste exceeds one’s abilities. The only way to get through this period is to make things anyway.

Thankful for all the work that these guys are putting into building Foundry, and the impact they’ve had on the research agents we’re building at GoldDust. I previously posted that agent evaluations were keeping me up at night because doing them well is a massive undertaking. Intuition is great. Measurements are too. To have intuition, and be to be able to freely exercise it due to data-back outcomes --- is good sleep.
Equally important, I once heard and resonated with ~ "expect to have 1 key person that works on an agent because they are just very hard to collaborate on". They said it was not due to sharing/collaboration features (easy to build), but a lack of reliable measurements (hard to build here).
Fortunate these guys understand the foundations needed by me and others ahead - congrats on the launch announcement 🚀 @lakabimanil_ @PranavRaja1999

Ten years ago I'd have thought the way to automate laundry would have been to make new infrastructure, but it looks like robots will be so good they can use infrastructure designed for humans.
Look at what our novel Vision-Language-Action Flow Model can do! We @physical_int developed an architecture that bridges the gap between internet-scale pre-training and robot dexterity

Today, I'm excited to announce my new company @browserbase. We're building the piece of infrastructure that every AI application needs: a programmable web browser.
We're funded, growing fast, and looking for engineers who want to build foundational tools for AI. Join us!

we've been cooking this week. stay tuned for more details soon 👀
it's all coming together thanks to great folks like @kumailht, @nosajio and @d_j_stein. i highly recommend working with them, and if you're a startup looking to build quickly, shoot them a DM!
This is @browserbase taking its first steps
It's a sick tool. You can orchestrate browsers in the cloud and programmatically do things that would otherwise require a trained monkey!
It was really fun working with @pk_iv this week :)
Wishing him & the team the best of luck!
