The new Nano banana is like a Photoshop on steroids. It lets you do INSANE things that weren't possible before. Here are the 20 coolest examples I've found 🧵

For the non technical founder there are few things sweeter then that first API call or successful deployment (after 14 failed ones before that). Long live #claude, #replit and #vertexai

Planning on launch an real estate MVP first on web in the next month or so and planning on launching some landing pages to gather feedback. Any specific strategies or distribution platforms people have used to good effect? Let me know. #startup #productmanagement #mvp

“Future of entertainment.. is immersive & experiential.” As ticket prices increase @JebTerry is creating an alternative option,skipping the traffic & almost rivals the in-game experience at #COSM. Curious in the unit-economics given the investment in tech,event ops & media rights

🇺🇸✈️🏅Huge day for Team @flyarcher — proud to announce our exclusive partnership with the Olympics, selected as the official air taxi of the @LA28 Olympic and @Paralympics Games and @TeamUSA! No bigger stage to introduce Archer and Midnight to the world. As part of the partnership, we’ll work with the @USDOT and @FAANews over the next three years to integrate Archer’s Midnight eVTOL aircraft across the LA28 Games and transport VIPs & fans across the Olympic venues – from @USC's Coliseum, to the Stadium at Inglewood, to SoCal’s most popular airports: @flyLAXairport, Hollywood, @JohnWayneAir, Santa Monica, and more. Thanks to @caseywasserman and team for the partnership. Can’t wait to ramp operations in LA in the years to come – I can already picture Midnight with the Olympic rings in 28!

Finally, one point I heard from a City Mayor and am not a fan of is, "cut back on vegetation", in response to future wildfires. I'm proud of LA's natural resources and would hate to seen barren hillsides and less green spaces as the solution to a known problem.

28% of @CityofBevHills is zoned for commercial use, and brings in 55% of the city's revenues (through sales tax etc). Closer to 70% of revenues for Culver City. It's a tough balancing act for these smaller cities between housing and economic development.

Can LA's barron river be used as a city-wide reservoir? What more is being done to tap into our County's largest water supply, the ocean?

“Your budgets are where your priorities are”. Comparatively little spent across the County/State on water conservation & preservation - Ex. post wildfires even after the recent heavy rainfall in Los Angeles, what major futureproofing action was taken to retain much needed water.

My take.. Of course not every building would work but rezoning underutilized space still seems to me like it’s a huge missed opportunity to solve temporary homelessness & affordable housing across LA.

Quick notes - 65k sqft of office space is now being used by 300 kids displaced by the palisades fire > actually a good example of city organizations moving quickly (through bureaucracy) with regards to permitting, remodeling and inspections.

Good conversation and I appreciated the candor from Mayors of WeHo @Chelsealeebee, @CityofBevHills Mayor Lester Friedman, Culver's Dan O'Brien and @santamonicacity's Lana Negrete. The main focus was on housing solutions within their respective cities. My takeaways...

Home sales across the US will dip to 30 year lows (>4M in 2024). Interest rates, uncertainty in Russia/Gaza you've heard all the reasons. More interestingly, the graph shows post 1995 + 2008 lows the housing market go through a steady, 10 year rally. #RealEstate #HousingMarket

I hadn’t heard this before.. “employment tenure and low interest rates show a strong correlation. The higher the interest rate the more likely to switch jobs”. Douglas W. Diamond, Nobel Laureate. @CAREALTORS #ccresummit

Crazy that some of the world’s “leading” economies rank so low with regards to happiness amongst it population. Meanwhile countries like Finland and Denmark consistently rank among the world’s happiest… what am I missing? axios.com/2024/03/20/world-h… #economy #Happiness #GlobalHealth

Found this report an interesting weekend read on global wealth growth and population migration over the last 10 years. I was surprised by where people were deciding to move from and to, as well as the US being the leader in “golden passport” applications henleyglobal.com/newsroom/pr…

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:
