Urbanists should focus less on architecture and more on urban form. Japanese residential areas look like this. It works because it's walkable, dense, mixed-use, and safe.

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I will obliterate her entire civilization. She now charges me a fee to use the bathroom, that used to be free, and I didn't get dinner. WTF

2. Compute is still exploding Even with efficiency gains, frontier training is getting more intense: The AI Index notes training compute for notable models is doubling about every ~5 months (and datasets scale fast too). Translation: scaling continues, but only a few players

5. Open vs closed is tightening Open-weight models are catching up fast. AI Index reports the gap between leading open-weight vs closed-weight models on Chatbot Arena narrowed to ~1.70% (as of Feb 2025). That changes build strategy (and budgets).

Six months ago, there was a lot of focus on the idea that the there would be a massive glut of unused computing power which would could a recession as AI use plateaued. The "compute bubble" belief was absolutely everywhere. The degree to which this was wrong deserves some notice

🇹🇼📈🤖 TSMC, el mayor fabricante mundial de chips avanzados de inteligencia artificial, probablemente registrará un cuarto trimestre consecutivo de ganancias récord con un aumento del 50% en el beneficio neto de enero a marzo gracias a la creciente demanda de infraestructura de

"For the first time in the history of this war, Ukraine has captured an enemy position using only ground robots and drones. The occupiers surrendered. The operation was carried out without infantry participation and with zero losses on our side." - Zelenskyy.

Every major oil shock, put on the same timeline. The 1973 embargo was the longest lasting. The 1990 Gulf War was the biggest reversal. The 2026 Hormuz crisis is the steepest climb and drop. But the line isn't finished yet.

The hyperscalers have already outspent the most famous US megaprojects

This automatic machine gun turret just shot down jet-powered Shahed drone in Kharkiv tonight. Sky Sentinel, remember that name. Good development!

The cruise ship Celestyal Discovery appears to have just successfully run the Strait of Hormuz.

There's no doubt that the world can consume tokens as fast as they're produced, even in the most maximalist infrastructure buildup scenarios imaginable. That's not the question. The question is whether the economic value of those tokens can match their total cost of production.

Human biological limits, like our tiny working memory and shallow calculation depth, are actually a feature. They force us to abstract, compress, intuit. If we had infinite resources, we would never have needed intelligence.

Qué BUENA noticia, la densidad. Justo lo que necesitamos. Si encima le reducimos algo el espacio viario para coche privado PERO aseguramos transporte público (metro/cercanías funcional, bus, carsharing), mantenemos bajos comerciales, e implementamos bonos de densidad (subes x

Jorge Galindo Antonio Giraldo Chamberí está en 30.000 (a estas alturas seguramente más) y es uno de los distritos más demandados.

I love that Tolkien was as amazed writing The Lord of the Rings as we were reading it... Scholar Tom Shippey noted that anyone familiar with the books who reads Tolkien's early drafts is bound to be surprised at "how little he had in the way of a plan, or even of a conception."

Hay que inundar, literalmente llenar, colmar, de evidencia sólida, rigurosa, analíticamente relevante el debate de las cosas que importan. Vivienda, crecimiento, desigualdades, pensiones, pobreza, educación, sanidad, demografía. Hay que hacerlo. Una contraofensiva.

Can you find the comet? Somewhere through this web of satellite trails is Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS), a bright visitor passing through the inner Solar System. Now, the orbiting satellites themselves only appear as streaks because of the long camera exposure, over 10 minutes

Pep Martorell Como comentas en la PD, la clave es el roadmap de producto, no el proyecto inicial. El tener cultura de desarrollo de producto (y no de proyecto) es la clave del éxito y no es tan habitual tenerla ni tan fácil costruirla.
