I’m most proud that despite the long odds, no one on the team slowed down. We got creative and kept moving.

Large facilities require comprehensive security coverage. From factories and warehouses to distribution centers and stadiums. @sunflower_labs built an autonomous drone system that uses computer vision to detect & deter threats, augmenting traditional security.

I don’t post much, but when I do it’s something I am very happy about.

We have been too quiet for too long, but not because we didn't have anything to share. Actually the last few months have been the most exciting in the history of our company.
Huge thanks to @sequoia and @roelofbotha for your trust!

Who’s in favor of rolling back cookie banners? No one is winning here. That’s a lot of hours.

How not to accelerate.
Don't replicate this kind of stupidity in America with an onslaught of absurd AI legislation based on non-existent problems.

Incredible.
Only NOW that Europe's AI Act is coming into force is its author realizing it:
- Probably goes too far;
- Discourages European companies from investing in AI; and
- Entrenches Big Tech's position (like most regulation)

My new hobby while visiting Japan: when possible I look for a new Kissa (an old traditional cafe) and order coffee and a pizza toast. Inspired by @craigmod and his wonderful book “Kissa by Kissa”

In the last 72 hours I flew first from Zurich to San Francisco, then to Tokyo. Now my jet lag has jet lag.

My meat thermometer wanted to do a firmware update before I can use it. How much code is in this damn thing that it will take 8 minutes to update? Also my meat will be burnt by then.
