the future is close, but reality is this: 4 rides
Despite growing concerns over AI disintermediation, Uber executives revealed that third-party bots accounted for just four rides and 500 food deliveries out of 320 million transactions. theverge.com/transportation/…

Just me, or is this becoming the AI design pattern: nav on the left, the work in the center, chat on the right? Is this AI’s three-step checkout?

No offence but I don’t care about the New York Marathon

Transactional emails as a growth tactic for engagement should be illegal. Their only purpose should be informative for users.

Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic are top 100 assets with a combined $7B USD market cap and produce empty blocks 9 years after the fork wars. What does that say about where value actually comes from?

FYI for anyone in AI who wasn’t in crypto in 21, the thing that comes after the blowoff top is fraud season

Ethereum for reference even with 12 second blocks, 24x slower than Tempo

Tempo with ~500ms blocks not looking much different

Did a few transactions on Arc yesterday. RPCs slow enough to hurt app UX, fees at 1-2c. Fine for day one, not impressive. With a permissioned validator set, every one of those is a choice, not a constraint.

Messaging didn't help either. Retail on Twitter is the right call, but it read like a launch plan rewritten after Robinhood Chain. Curious how much that reshuffled the roadmap.

I’m still rocking my iPhone 13 Pro Max I bought in 2021 and just upgraded to iOS 27 and it feels like I have a new phone - great job Apple on the UX and performance improvements my phone feels 2-3X faster based on my primitive benchmarks
