98% means a lot of happy people; spot on, this is a real problem being solved

Everyone’s building AI agents these days. But few can actually scale from 60% to a 98% resolution rate. A lot of other AI companies seem to be relying on hype and virality but these guys are actually solving legit problems. If you're on the job market this is a spot definitely worth considering

Excited to share our partnership with DoorDash. Together we went from kickoff to real impact — in weeks, not quarters. Highlights: - Time to value: weeks, not quarters - Quality at scale: 90%+ DWR in production - Built for scale: 10B+ lifetime orders, 500K+ merchants, 8M+ Dashers, and hundreds of thousands of daily assistance requests

Also he's a fellow UCSD alumni, so that's always nice too
meanwhile in Japan beer is overtaking sake, they eat "hamburg" patties on sushi, and French pastries line every bougie mall. Give it a few more decades and it will be like how both the east and west kinda forgot tomatoes came from South America

so much of modern white cooking is just "hey! did u know thing poc have been eating for thousands of years tastes good?"

so much of the media Mike Judge is involved with has a finger on the pulse of American sub-cultures. Idiocracy, King of the Hill, HBO's Silicon Valley, Beavis and Butthead...

Idiocracy (2006) opens by throwing you straight into its hilariously dumbed-down future.

Waking up in the countryside everyday was also amazing
Spent time deep in the Japanese countryside training at Dassai, one of Japan’s most iconic sake breweries. Despite its scale, everything was done by hand—rice washing, koji growing, brewing, bottling. A humbling, sake-soaked labor of love 🍶

I know it's fashionable to make a substack nowdays, but something about it feels weirdly corpo and sell out. Why does longform chatter have to be blended with "upselling" to my "audience"
although I know this is kinda in jest, I do wonder how much and where to write about some of my travels. I've been reflecting a lot lately on some of the farms and blacksmiths I've visited lately.... I don't even know where those fans are haha

Fire – 1,500,000 BCE Wheel – 3,500 BCE Steel – 1800 BCE I fully get the amount of industrial equity built by all the above technologies. But I must ask... is this it? Are we as an industry just going to build off of these things forever? Do we not dare imagine anything else?

Every time I hear this I think about how when I poop an electric powered bidet uses water to clean my literal asshole and wonder how these people would respond to that argument

I can’t believe how many people I’ve talked to who refuse to use AI because they think it “uses too much water” and is “killing the environment”

At first this sounds bad… but then you think about it for a few seconds and realize most people probably order via loans in the form of a credit card on DoorDash anyway

DoorDash and Klarna have signed a deal where customers can choose to pay for food deliveries in interest-free installments or deferred options aligned with payday schedules.
