  • Mark Gurman reported about AI spending inside Apple:

    Last month, Apple quietly lowered the daily spending cap for some engineers using AI models to $200 from $300, according to people with knowledge of the change. The company is now planning further cuts for some engineering teams, potentially reducing their daily allowances to as little as $100…

    Even “as little as $100” per person per day is outrageous. The problem is that OpenAI and Anthropic essentially force large companies onto enterprise plans. We know from Anthropic’s S-1 that a bunch of revenue comes from a handful of companies.

  • That ended up being a great game to be at. Wemby was a force. 52 points. Spurs blow a big lead but hold on in the final minutes. 🏀

  • To go along with the new site for Epilogue, I’ve also rolled out a redesign of the Inkwell home page for new users. Same style, more screenshots. Just much better at conveying what the app is about.

  • The win last night was so stunning that I’m actually reconsidering some thoughts I had leading up to election night. I’ll get some ideas down in an essay eventually, but in the meantime I can’t stop smiling at this photo from Whataburger. Perfect.

  • Glad this split between Waymo and Uber is happening:

    Mawakana told Bloomberg that Waymo initially partnered with Uber because the ride-hail giant offered scale. But the experience for riders has been “a little bit of a crapshoot,” she said, especially because riders never know for sure if they’re going to hail a robotaxi or a human-driven car.

    That’s it exactly. Uber could’ve fixed it with a new UI.

  • Good rundown by Ben Thompson about how the election results will affect data centers:

    Many of the theories about AI assume that it becomes a commodity; I think it’s just as likely we are looking at scarcity for much longer than we expected, which will have ripple effects on everything.

  • The form factor for this AI walkie-talkie is a little silly, but I think they’ve got the basics right, especially that it includes cellular. There are so many of these devices popping up.

  • James Talarico wins, and now just listening to Greg Abbot say he called Gina Hinojosa to concede. This is absolutely stunning.

    I was only 15 years old when Ann Richards won. Always vote for Democrats so this is the first time my candidate has won statewide. A new day for Texas. 🇺🇸

  • Trying to remember the last time I’ve been able to click around on a Texas election map, county by county, and smile. Oh right, it’s never happened. This is looking very good. 🇺🇸
