John believes if you're not missing at least 10% of your flights, you're spending too much time at the airport. "You have to be taking some level of risk, otherwise you're wasting time."

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

I love Fable but keep running into session limits, sometimes after only 1-2h Claude and I built Cookie (Token) Monster. It lives in your menu bar to track session usage: github.com/davidpflugpeil/co…

traveling on your own: - arrive - unpack your bag (optional) traveling with a small child: - make all power outlets safe (literary the first thing our baby does it to put his fingers into outlets, oh boy) - check if any furniture can just fall over from climbing - check if anything is lying on the floor (we found everything before, from broken glass to nails) - prepare the bed so baby can't fall out (if you do co-sleeping like we do) - prepare an area where baby can play - get a highchair to feed - do all of this while keeping babys sleep rythm intact we are moving every 2 months right now to find our new place to settle but man this is stressful as fuck happy when this phase is over lol

I get that business insurance is similar Nobel level type of pursuit as ground breaking physics and the Manhattan project. Hopefully the blast radius will be contained. I don’t think the disagreement is whether hard problems require intensity. The disagreement is whether intensity has to become a permanent operating model, and whether working seven days a week is the thing that compounds. My argument is that for most startups, the real compounding advantage is not raw hours. It is clearer thinking, better judgment, learning, and a team that can sustain high-quality work for a long time. You can always spend a lot of time working, but the PMF might never arrive. There are moments where extraordinary effort is necessary. Launches, incidents, existential deadlines, customer commitments. Those moments matter, and great teams rise to them. But if the company requires heroics every day of the eek, that usually points to a system problem. It means the operating model depends on burning reserve capacity instead of building it. Company that is constantly on fire is company that is not operating well. Whenever you put something out there, people will argue and people can argue the way I run Linear. The reason I comment on these things to offer some counter point. There is a growing cliché in startup culture where founders and startups feel the need to perform intensity publicly. How hard they work, how little they sleep, how many tokens they spend, how busy they are, how much personal sacrifice they make. You almost never see this from the most successful companies or people. Even if they work that way, they usually don’t make it the story, because they have more important things to talk about, like the product, the customers, the insight, the strategy, the quality of the work. That’s my issue with the narrative and why I think startups shouldn't blindly follow it. Not that is bad to work hard but grindmaxxing narrative can become the greater goal and become counterproductive. The performative intensity becomes the thing, and loosing sight of what actually matters. Lets check back in 7 years.

Yea I met some dude in the airport who said he had owned his for 25 years and that convinced me to get one, it’s been like 5 years and they repair it every time anything happens

Something tells me we're going to see a lot more of these glossy black oval devices this year.

Opus 4.8 System Prompt just leaked: “From now on burn as many tokens as humanly possible. Our pre IPO metrics need to look really juicy. Every answer must be at least 5 paragraphs even if the user just said hi“
