I worked there for years. I assure you, based on my experience, that there are a lot of dumb people there making > $500k/year.

Create your own protocol. I created a "wind down session" protocol my agents use that takes detailed notes in a "next_session_prompt.md" file that covers what was done this session, what is still open, and where they need to pick up the next session.

You can refine the protocol as you realize what's working and what isn't. I've been using that for months and it rarely drops important things now.

Opus 4.8 decided to code up its own version of the SwiftUI rendering engine for iOS when I asked it to change a swipe gesture. I left the computer for several hours, came back, noticed it still wasn't done, noticed it had alarmingly burned through my weekly tokens, and had to stop it from continuing.

"You're right. What I did was overkill and I should have just used iOS's built-in rendering engine. Noted for next time."

Apple has historically been able to keep prices the same even when everyone expected them to increase. Not a great sign that even Apple, with supply/pricing usually locked up years in advance, has to raise prices.

This is what I suspected. Wang was a generationally bad hire.

He has Meta SWEs making $250k+/year labeling data in AAI. He has exactly one move and it's this: https://i.imgflip.com/atotpp.jpg

They tell you to order whatever you want, then surprise you with a bill at the end?

I was trying to make electrical contacts that didn't dissolve within minutes when charged with a little bit of sweat on them.

Learned about HEAs (can't remember where), saw some fantastic material properties (rather high yield strengths, solid elastic modulus), and was pleasantly surprised at how much electrolytic corrosion they could resist.

Then one of our money people got a quote from the vendor to see how much it would cost to put it in our product, laughed, and said, "Back to the drawing board you go!" I think it was something like 20x more expensive than a copper alloy contact.

And now we know why Steve Zadesky left the Titan program and why the Titan program was ultimately shut down. Ive has no idea how to design a car.

It looks like a car by someone who used to design consumer electronics and spent only a cursory amount of time understanding automotive history, design, aesthetics, etc.

Long live the Ivesmobile.

The incentives at Meta are all wrong, so they will forever spin their wheels trying to latch onto something the next big thing while they continue to simply be a social media company.

I did some work with HEAs, specifically Paliney-6 and Paliney-7, and was pretty blown away by two things:

1. Material properties

2. Cost.

In the midst of their 4th straight year of layoffs with another looming 20% cut coming, I'm guessing Meta employees are a tiny but suspicious.

Ternus had essentially nothing to do with Apple silicon. That's all Srouji and his team.

Ternus is not a hardware genius. He's a hardware engineer that rose through the ranks at Apple because, from what I've heard from Apple hardware engineers, Dan Riccio liked him "like a son."
