I’m hiring a Right Hand to work alongside me at Sudowrite. Our company is full of uniquely wonderful and kind people that you can’t help but love. It's also profitable. (We're weird!) And we do it making creative tools for artists, not B2B SaaS. This is an incredible role for someone who’s done ops, exec support, been a chief of staff, or worn a lot of hats at a startup. 🌈🌴 On-location in Honolulu preferred but not required. sudowrite.com/jobs/right-han…

what would Steve Jobs have done?

Douglas Adams came up with The Babel Fish, a leech-like alien that, when placed in your ear, provided instant, telepathic translation of any language. I feel so lucky that I get to live in this time where science fiction becomes real everyday! blog.google/innovation-and-a…

How beta is iOS 27 dev beta?

Got a Tesla Model Y recently. What I didn't expect: 1. The fan "swing" mode is lovely. Like a gentle breeze sweeping across you. 2. The wireless phone charger is surprisingly weak. Generates heat but barely adds power. 3. FSD is exceptional. End-to-end driving and parking, and it feels safe. I could never buy a car without it.

This is an almost absurd stat. 1 in ~50K Indian immigrants is a unicorn founder. (And in general, ~66% of U.S. unicorns were founded by immigrants or their children.)

Someone please use AI to create Steve Jobs keynotes introducing modern-day Apple products.

love this! there's a million markdown editors/viewers coming out, but all of them miss this critical interaction of review/feedback. we recently added this to sudowrite and it unlocks so much. this feels like a core addition to markdown that needs to be everywhere.

You guys, my wife is such a good writer. This is her short and funny post on her second Mother's Day: nhua.substack.com/p/my-2nd-m…

Stoked for what jamie and fabian are cooking with Glif V2!

This is a weekend retreat where you read a book together with strangers, out loud, to each other. I love everything about it. pagebreak.nyc

this makes me want to move to austin

We're hiring a design leader at @NotionHQ. Maybe it's you. This is about leading through making, enabling builders, and building yourself. You take great pride in seeing excellent output being appreciated in the hands and hearts of customers. You create momentum that leads to quality. You'll be reporting to me, but you're not so concerned with reporting. Managing up isn't the vibe. Supporting the team is. Talk to me and @kurissuuu

Oh man, I have a lot to say on this. tl;dr - this is not a good way to test AI writing. It's common knowledge amongst novelists using LLMs for years that in small snippets, AI can match the quality of human writing. The trick is making this quality coherent throughout a book. Trust me, I've run blind tests since 2022 with 100s of techniques, ranging from short stories to novels to poetry. Machines can write good prose! Even experts can be "tricked." But prose in isolation is not something that people are good at evaluating, nor is it terribly useful, unless the artifact you are producing is short, like book blurbs or marketing copy. What's far more interesting is a whole narratives. This is still a challenge. But we are on the cusp of machines being able to emulate that as well. However, the way we evaluate that won't be in short snippets.

If you were a designer at Block and love to write, we'd love to talk to you at @sudowrite. We're a small crew, profitable, and have a ton cooking. DMs open.

I've been training an openclaw to be a sci-fi writer. Every day, it writes and read stories, we discuss, and it logs its memory and updates a taste profile of what we (or it) likes. Today, I asked it to write from the POV of an LLM and to surprise me. It wrote this.
