Notebook M is so cool. I finally had a use case for it (being a non-student). Canada released its AI strategy, which is like a 50-page document, and I uploaded it to NotebookLM. It created a podcast for me, it created a mind map, slides, and a video explainer. That's nuts!

Watching the WWDC26 keynote. If these use cases aren’t pre-orchestrated, they’re massive productivity boosts. The features and capabilities are there now, it just needs consumers learning and adopting new behaviors.

I've been thinking a lot about the interplay of thought and action, and relating it to recent scenarios in tech like Cursor's success. If the Cursor founders had sat down and reasoned about whether it makes sense to create this IDE, reason would have told them not to pursue it. There were obviously players with huge distribution power and resources that could overtake them at any moment. For a long time, people mocked them for being a VSC fork. Not just in Cursor's case, but in many cases of entrepreneurship or artistic endeavors or anything really that becomes "successful", reason would obstructed its pursuit. But of course, reason is also necessary for success. For instance, Cursor had to employ a lot of thoughtful planning, strategy and execution in order to scale the company. So what gives? What is the relationship between thought and action? I think I've developed a good rule of thumb, a heuristic, you could say. I think that the more far away an objective is, the less reason is applicable to it. The closer something is to the present, the more it benefits from reason. Now let me explain why. I think in the present moment, you have a set of variables, whose values are known. But the more you infer about the future, the more the values become unpredictable. Time, luck, randomness, action, and a few other things, all influence them. So, to reason with the current set of variables you have now about a future situation where the values of those variables will be very different is... irrational. So all in all, I think that one should employ reason in proportion to how near something is from the present, and forget about applying it to long-term visions. Would be curious for your thoughts @mntruell @amanrsanger @sualehasif996

Podcasters have been getting so greedy with ads. This tips the scale back.

drea is the first podcast app with free ad block. It can find ads in episodes and skip them. The UI/UX is on par with Apple Podcasts / Spotify, so it doesn't feel like a downgrade to switch to it. From today on, you never have to listen to a podcast ad again. tearsofjoy.jpeg 🥹
