I have been off social media for most of the previous month due to personal issues. Large breaks and sparingly used. Feels good.
Now I need to turn this into a habit, lol. :-)

Jerry Lawson invented the video game cartridge. He's the reason they stopped making pong consoles in the 1970s. If it weren't for him, the Atari 2600 and many others would literally NEVER exist at all.

After DeepSeek, markets are realizing that LLM training can be done more efficiently. But I think new markets will appear for private LLMs and local inference. Chips will still be needed but with more dispersed buyers. (I don’t know anything about markets, so time will judge this guess)

Vector database companies will become one of the three
a. Search platforms (e.g., Elastic)
b. AI platform (inference/training/pipeline)
c. OLTP provider (e.g., MongoDB, Postgres)
Hard for vector databases to be a separate offering/company

One way we know Bluesky has the juice is because the starter packs used to be super generic like “Environmentalists 😀” and now they are super specific like “North Atlantic salmonid fisheries scientists whose names start with T-Z” and they have the full 150 people in them
