I extracted thousands of images from over a century's worth of archived fashion catalogs, magazines, and photos
Then compiled it into a website that lets you see how American fashion (and photography) evolved over the last 120+ years

beautiful post
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

If you gave me a nickel for every AI code review product that had the name format Gr_p_i_e
I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Underrated here is having the video be customer testimonials instead of just the founder/team talking which is what most launch or announcement videos do. Surprised more companies don’t do this, it lends far more credence to the quality of their product
Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel.
Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year.
We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

Hate it when this happens
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

A potential frame for this is that every brand sits on an attention x aura* matrix. Aura now being much more important than attention as the latter has become somewhat commodified via pay to play and the former can’t be faked
Lots of startups by nature of being new start out at low attention and low aura, and by doing the industrial paid engagement operation they pay for current attention with the cost of future aura - perhaps under the premise they can convert that attention to aura in the future. This might’ve been the right trade in the past but prob not anymore
*ik this word has been beaten to death now but don’t think there’s any better word lol
Whoever you paid for the fake engagement, you should get a refund
The comments are too blatant, too lazy, no finesse. They’re like bad plastic surgery. “Those can’t be natural”
I’m sure they sold you guaranteed virality and charged a boatload. But being associated with fake engagement is not worth the bigger numbers

The NYC Marathon is less than three weeks away
I turned the entire course into a 3d simulation that works in the browser, with street-level accuracy
Now you can experience what the NYC Marathon is like, inside the computer, without having to do any of the actual running

I made a four-dimensional crossword puzzle
It’s just like a regular crossword puzzle except in addition to words going Across and Down, they can also go Deep on the z-axis as well as be spelled through time (traversed via the slider at the bottom)
There’s a new puzzle every day at crosswo4d.infinite.games

I used Opus 5.5 to:
- search and download scanned sources: everything from Sears catalogs to Library of Congress photos to GQ and The Cut
- use YOLO person detection models to identify people in the sources
- cut each person out with SAM 2, BiRefNet and rembg
- do quality control by reviewing every cutout and throwing out the bad ones

i'm starting to believe they actually broke elliptic curve cryptography
somebody just hacked my airgapped, never-used-before wallet and added a bunch of Story Protocol tokens to it

Coolmathgames except it's the OpenAI mathematical discoveries repo
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.
