Elon Musk's net worth has passed the trillion-dollar mark after SpaceX's IPO. His net worth, which was hovering around $800 billion before the IPO, includes the value of his 4.8 billion shares in SpaceX, along with his wealth from his other companies, like Tesla.

The IPO market is back, and it’s not the same companies leading the charge. FAANG had a good run, but a new acronym is taking over: MANGOS — Meta (or Microsoft, depending on who you ask), Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX. Half of that bunch is heading to public markets in the same window, and it’s a stress test for investors, for valuations, and for […]

A simple experiment reveals just how much of mental life happens automatically.

I use Claude Code a lot and GPT 5.5 as well, and find that they are simultaneously extremely useful and also fall into common poor-performance basins. For example, writing performance -- perhaps my biggest issue with them is writing style -- such as well documented stylistic tics (em-dash, it's not x it's y), less commented stylistic tics ("the honest framing", "the earned XYZ"), cryptic and coined jargon, overabbreviation and sentences replaces by arrow constructions (this -> that -> this other

Most enterprise RAG pipelines start the same way: a text parser converts web pages and documents into plain text so they can be chunked and indexed for retrieval. That conversion step destroys retrieval signals — and according to new research, it's responsible for the majority of wrong answers.A research team from UC Berkeley, Princeton University, EPFL and Databricks published a paper this week introducing PixelRAG, a system that skips that conversion entirely. Instead of parsing pages int

This post shows how to build a custom meeting prep and follow-up assistant using Amazon Quick and Cisco Webex MCP servers. From a single prompt, the agent finds an upcoming Webex meeting, reviews prior meeting summaries and transcripts, and pulls related Vidcast highlights and transcript context. It then searches Webex message threads for unresolved follow-ups and creates a concise prep brief. After the meeting, the same assistant can summarize the discussion and identify action items. It can al
