I have not yet verified whether each half of the 50/50 is indeed lovely but I invite you to do so

@nytimes.com Just wanted to let you know: the PDF of Friday’s crossword is not correct. It is showing Thursday’s instead.

Thank you again for everything Steve & @redmonk.com for continuing to curate a safe space where like-minded folks can harness our energy to create the world we want to live in. Possibly even involving computers, which are objectively terrible. :)

Founders are using creative accounting to boost loftyΒ β€˜ARR’—the hottest startup metric in Silicon Valley | Fortune Annual recurring revenue is the metric VCs and founders love to tout. But skeptics think these overblown numbers are helping fuel a bubble.

@edzitron.com I assume you've seen this article from Fortune about how AI companies don't have any real ARR. It's astonishing, though unsurprising, to hear VCs are like "we need a new metric for AI that isn't ARR!" as though the problem wasn't staring them in the face fortune.com/2025/09/28/h...

I am glad that there are more folks coming out of the woodwork who (a) know what they are talking about and (b) calling shenanigans on AI. I've always said that there is utility to LLMs but it's like 0.1% of the level of hype out there.
