Rain falling at the pond at The Village, behind Epoch. Looks like it’s going to be raining most of the week. 🌧️

Tim Cook in a letter on Apple’s website about stepping down as CEO and welcoming John Ternus:
A new person will be stepping into what I know in my heart is the best job in the world. That leader is John Ternus, a brilliant engineer and thinker who has spent the past 25 years building the Apple products our users love so much, obsessed with every detail, focused on every possible way we can make something better, bolder, more beautiful, and more meaningful.
Heck of a run leading one of the greatest tech companies of all time. Our discussion of Tim’s legacy on Core Int probably still holds.

Victor Wembanyama when asked whether he feels the weight of legends like Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Gregg Popovich in the building:
I wouldn’t say weight, no. I would say it feels safe. It feels like… If you trip, you know there’s a lot of hands that are ready to catch you. From day one it’s felt that way.

YOLO-ing with Codex computer use. I shouldn’t trust these tools as much as I do, but it still feels like magic, and I want to see the show.

Cracked a crown on my tooth last week. Replaced today. The numbing from the dentist usually takes all day to wear off for me. Currently sipping my coffee, pretending I can drink properly. 🦷

Interesting note from Simon Willison that Claude’s new tokenizer translates to higher costs:
Opus 4.7 uses the same pricing is Opus 4.6 - $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens - but this token inflation means we can expect it to be around 40% more expensive
Anthropic pricing is already much more expensive than OpenAI. With how good the new Codex app for Mac is, I think we’ll see more developers move to Codex. But people are also comfortable with their workflows, so there’s not going to be a quick shift, and models and features change nearly every month.
