plays to capture commerce from data at the edge yourself are often slower to market but they’re also more defensible unlike in vogue data sales—with only fanciful stories of value accrual—trusted sensors often command monopolies on downstream commerce, a rare trait today

I feel confident that while long-range planning is a side effect of attention gradients in transformers, it is only so indirectly, and that an explicit mechanism to optimize thinking ahead would be a substantial win. I think multi-token prediction is a good start of where to

Guessing you mean consumption, unfortunately open source not contributing to the wallet (free). Presuming it includes the coding share which is a perfect case of a vertical app with memory and context well intertwined with the intelligence. IMHO that will be a primary outcome.

The framing of "100% American-made medical gloves" is the wrong goal. The right goal is supply chain resilience — diversified suppliers, maintained stockpiles, surge agreements. Trying to solve a pandemic prep problem with economic nationalism got us neither gloves nor readiness

Lark now supports haptic keyframing. For STARBOY we chose a really nice little LRA with a super snappy rise / fall time. All 550+ animations have keyframed haptics. We also randomly offset the magnitude of every keyframe, so each animation feels a bit different every time.

Formal education was never really about transmitting information, but about socially engineering motivation to learn. That’s why I expect raw LLMs to strongly favour highly agentic people — they’re amazing sources of information but provide ~zero social scaffolding.
