the thing the majority of people will never understand is once you create an asset it basically can't lose
a mediocre person can run it and it'll just keep growing. you can even see this at small scale, a lot of "famous" employees just joined companies at the right time
what's totally invisible is the path not taken. great founders will rebuild the asset over the decades into something else
it's very hard for a hired ceo to ever do this
Replying to @naval
Apple's market cap under Tim Cook went from less than $350 billion when he took over for the late Steve Jobs, no doubt a brilliant visionary, to $4.6 trillion. Sadly, we are all replaceable.

this is the exact issue. only a founder will take risks like this and absorb the pain it comes with
they know that even they blow up, they've started from nothing once and they can do it again
this is why companies die when the founder leaves
"no one is irreplaceable" and yeah nvidia isn't gonna die now
but people who've never built anything cannot understand the potential they're missing out on, they're fine with a medium outcome
look how flaccid of a company uber is now. not dead but not alive either

I have been saying this a lot the last few days to people...
Opus 5.5 was a step function change for coding
I would challenge that if you're using any other model right now, and you can afford Opus, you should use it.

I'm not buying any of this, something is being cooked behind closed doors against Iran, this noise and fragmentation is not authentic.
Pretty clear what this is:
Eisenkot is warning Netanyahu against using the military to launch operations against Iran during Israel’s political transition, in order to try to stay in power at the head of a unity government.
He cites Netanyahu’s status as a caretaker prime minister with reduced authorities and the support of only 46 seats in the Knesset, and the potential damage to Israel democracy of using the security services for political purposes.

١- نحارب الاحتكار والانتاج المتركز في شركتين في السوق ❌
٢- ننتج أفلام تستحق ان الناس تدخل لها سينما ❌
٣- نبطل نبالغ في مصاريف الانتاج لدرجة ان يوم تصوير في مصر بقا أغلى من لندن ❌
٤- نقفل الiptv عشان المواطن الغلبان ✅
حل واحد لوحده قادر على إنقاذ وإنعاش وازدهار صناعة السينما والتليفزيون في مصر.
قفل وحجب IPTV واجراءات حقيقية لمحاربة القرصنة في مصر.
ده لوحده بس هيضاعف بأضعاف مبيعات تذاكر السينما، وعدد المشتركين على المنصات.
طب والغلابة؟ ساعتها هتقدر المنصات - المصرية ويمكن الإقليمية كمان- تنزل سعر الاشتراك بسهولة، لحد ما يبقى في سعر ساندويتشين فول.
ويمكن بالتبعية تتفتح سينمات أكثر بأسعار تذاكر أقل في أماكن مافيهاش سينمات أصلا.
ده هيخلي أفلام أكثر تتعمل، المنتجين يكسبوا أكثر، والمنصات تنتج وتشتري أعمال أكثر، فرص عمل أكثر، الدولة تحصل ضرايب أكثر، وفرص تصدير الأفلام برا تكبر.
قرار محاربة القرصنة مش مشكلة تقنية بالمرة، حلولها موجودة ومعروف بالأسماء من القادر عليها، هي يا إما عدم اهتمام او إهمال أو سبب ثاني له أبعاد مش معلنة.
لو الفنانين والمنتجين محتاجين ينقذوا صناعتهم ويحموا أكل عيشهم أعتقد ديه أول خطوة محتاجين يتكاتفوا وراها، في رأيي ديه أولوية أولى وفي أهمية حق الأداء العلني وحق المنتج في تقليل التكاليف.
هل من مستجيب؟
Welcome to Hotel Calif. We're in lockdown mode. You can check in, but you can never leave. Broccoli is served around the clock.
The Brotli bug apparently affected iOS and macOS too. Apple released version 27.2.1 yesterday, fixing this bug among other security issues.
This is an important security update. If you haven't updated yet, now's a good time. The demos show what we were able to do with it.

Just wanted to defend the term "Software Factory" for a second.
First, the caveats:
It's bullshit. It sounds fancier than it really is.
It's a bandwagon. People are using it to get you and their VC's hyped.
But it's also referring to a real change.
Earlier this year, most SOTA teams were using agents to work on the product. Shipping features, fixing bugs.
But now, they're building automations to help agents work on the product for them. They've moved up a layer.
What do we call the thing they're building? Loops? Workflows? Some other generic label?
"Software Factory" is as good a term as any other.
- "We're not working on the product, we're working on the factory that builds the product."
- "We're not product engineers, we're factory engineers."
I like it. I'll continue using it.
