I don't blame gold people for preferring gold over Bitcoin. They both have strong and weak points. But I'm not sure how you can justify gold as a store of value if physicists are really able to produce gold for a reasonable price.
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Even if this company fails, it's likely that humans will inevitably find a way to find/produce gold in a quantity that eliminates gold's ability to be a store of value.
Bitcoin is nice because we literally just say there can't be more.
OpenAI and Anthropic seem interested in monetizing through pharma. I like this more than their API business.
Not sure how this plays out, but there are a ton of really interesting implications if people live healthier and longer.
We’ve acquired Orchestra Bio, a platform that helps biopharma teams coordinate the complex process of drug development.
Together, we’ll build on Rosalind, our AI models and tools for life sciences research, to streamline those operations and help new treatments reach patients sooner.

It's popular to hate on prediction markets, but they can be useful. This example is interesting since a lot of people are especially upset about sports event contracts.
But I don't think most businesses and people can properly price and size their prediction market positions.
For bars near Dodger Stadium, a World Series run would have meant a huge boost in business. When the Dodgers came up short, this group’s Kalshi position helped cover the revenue those games would have brought in.
Businesses of every size are discovering that federally regulated prediction markets offer a practical, transparent way to manage risk and protect their bottom line.

There might be an interesting business opportunity as prediction markets become more widely used to be some sort of consulting/financial company that helps businesses hedge in a way that wasn't possible before these new prediction markets.
Very cool that AI was able to do this.

Alright we need 24/7 trading ASAP because I already want out of this trade.
The completeness of these apps was very exaggerated.
I bought some far out of the money put options that expire in a month. We'll see what happens. The star history for the photocraft repo has exponential growth.
There is a lot of uncertainty with these projects. Adobe is also cheap already. But markets like to freak out.

Interesting situation.
Adobe will probably do what it can to stop such clones, but it's hard to stop publicly available open source software.
People are pointing out bugs like UI issues, but those are pretty easy to fix. You can reach stable apps with enough work.
This guy re-created all the adobe apps with opus-5.5, ported them to rust, and opensourced them
something really cool is happening
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These projects are partial open-source Rust reimplementations of Adobe apps (built rapidly with AI agents), not complete recreations; their READMEs and roadmaps document many missing features and features still in development.

Even if this person doesn't plan on reverse engineering Adobe's software, anyone can make a fork and do it.
I really don't think legal action will save Adobe. It will just delay the inevitable.
Ken Griffin is doing EVERYTHING he can to move tech and Asians to Miami.
Saw some tweet a while ago that there are rumors Citadel is paying Asian restaurants to move to Miami.
Now he's giving $3 billion to Carnegie Mellon to build a campus in Miami.
Today, Carnegie Mellon University and Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel and founder of Griffin Catalyst, announced a historic $3 billion gift to elevate Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh and launch Carnegie Mellon University Miami. #CMUMiami

I regret to inform you that the JVM / language choice was not the issue here if you reduced memory and CPU usage by that much.
This is ridiculous. I literally cut my memory and CPU by an order of magnitude porting a JVM (Scala) etl pipeline to Rust and it didn't even take long. It was about $8 in tokens.
