Humanoid robot runs a half marathon fast. I’m actually impressed because it just feels like it would fall over at least a few times. But it’s not relevant to human runners… A car can finish a marathon more quickly than a human too! 🤪

Nice story on the Spurs in The New Yorker:
Last season, the team had traded for De’Aaron Fox, an All-Star guard in his prime, which appeared odd to some—wasn’t he too old to be on Wembanyama’s timeline? Now it seemed like a stroke of genius.
Game 1 tonight vs. the Blazers. Excited. Nervous too. 🏀

Terry Godier blogs about the growing disconnect between the traditional paid-up-front App Store and all the new features that free with in-app purchase apps get:
Apple offers you no mechanism for what is arguably the most natural transaction in software: paying for major upgrades. The only option is to create a new app listing or to use an IAP. There’s a strong disadvantage to creating a new app listing, namely losing your accumulated reviews and visibility.
It’s a theme that reminds me of Marco Arment’s blog post from 2009, although that post was focused on cheap quick-hit apps.

I walked so much in Europe. Trying to stick with walking more places now that I’m back home. Cars are embedded into every part of life in Texas.
Related, watched a video this morning about high-speed rail progress in California. As a country we should be embarrassed about this. Come on already. 🚂

This new TED Talk from Peter Steinberger is a great introduction to why OpenClaw exists and what impact it might have. He’s having a lot of fun and I think that excitement rubs off on everyone in the community. 🦞
