Over the history of computing every important technology sees massive efficiency gains. Deepseek is just the latest example. I wrote about that in the context of AI here: www.linkedin.com/posts/matt-u...

Forty years ago today: Carl Sagan very clearly explains to the US congress the greenhouse effect, that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, how humans are increasing CO2 in the atmosphere causing global temps to rise, and the thorny but necessary policy steps in addressing this.

After 14 yrs on Twitter, I deactivated. I remember my early days when it was the place to engage in meaningful convos on tech. I was such a fan that I had a dashboard built in the Microsoft Research building to track tweets of our work. X is something different. Hoping Bluesky becomes what was lost.

Great to see this release from my old team. For the first time we see AI models from Google, Microsoft, Orbital Materials, and Meta compared on the same data. This will speed the pace of computational materials discovery.

Just spent a few days in Phoenix. Mainly used @waymo.bsky.social to get around. Great experience. It works at the airport (unlike SF). Rides were comfortable and felt safe. About 1/2 cost of Uber. Wait times on average longer, but very accurate. Feels like an inflection point for autonomous driving.
