Why is it like that and not like this. Knock on the sky and listen to the sound. Also Wi-Fi (CWNE #394) and AWS ... Besides that, it's all in the reflexes.

Hey @Microsoft , I will give you an idea to do layoffs.
1. Open youtube... Search "Day in life of a Microsoft Engineer".
2. You will get list of people who only eat but do not work in office.
3. Layoff them

Probably:
- M6 chip (both)
- N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 (both)
- Faster SSD speeds (both)
- New colors (iMac)
- 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (iMac)

I have a theory… 👀
Apple made the new iPad mini more expensive to make choosing between an iPhone Duo and an iPhone 18 Pro + iPad mini MUCH harder.
iPhone Duo: $2,000
iPhone 18 Pro: $1,100
iPad mini (Cellular): $849
Total: $1,949
JUST A $51 DIFFERENCE 🤯
Coincidence? I think not. 😂

Watch out, Amazon. Tesla’s got its eye on the delivery space.
In a recent Munro Live interview, Tesla's Lars Moravy and Eric Earley shared some Optimus nuggets:
- Optimus's battery is a single ~2.5 kWh module, and unlike in a car (where the pack is a quarter to a third of the cost), it's not a major cost of the robot.
- Near-term, Optimus is expected to plug in and charge the robotaxi fleet
- Beyond charging, it "might service the car, might add in the delivery space"
- "You think of Cyber Cab, Optimus, and Robo Van, that trifecta will be incredible.", "And you add Tesla Semi to that for long distances."
- "Maybe we're a transportation company. It's redefining how everyone thinks of that."

Yikes. Anthropic just pulled the exact accounting trick that companies did in 2000 bubble for IPO.
They hid all their expenses via convertible notes redeemable at IPO. $108 billion worth.
Dotcom firms often paid suppliers, ad agencies, lawyers and even landlords with stock or equity to save cash. AOL swapped shares for services and ads (e.g., Homestore, DrKoop). Telecom suppliers like Lucent, Cisco and Nortel used vendor financing, sometimes with equity or warrants, to drive equipment sales.

RIP Walter "Chekov" Koenig. Here he is looking for "nuclear wessels" in Star Trek IV (1986):

SKYDANCE'S FIRST BIG MEMO: TAKE THE BUYOUT, OR COME IN 5 DAYS A WEEK
Similar to Microsoft earlier today, except this one comes with a Return to Office mandate (other silent layoff that doesn't always show up in headlines).
From co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz:
"we recognize that not everyone will see their future here" Those who qualify get "personalized details and terms" and "a window to decide whether to accept this one-time offer."
The target: more than $6B in annual cost savings.
As @Amanda_Goodall notes, huge layoffs are expected to be part of it.
$SKYD Skydance gives VOLUNTARY BUYOUTS!
Same thing Microsoft did this morning.
Ellison and Kreiz's memo announces a one-time buyout plus a mandatory five-day office policy.
It gives no headcount and no terms.
Three weeks after closing a $111B deal with a $6B+ savings target, RTO plus buyouts is how you thin the ranks before the WARN notices.

I talked to some of my old coworkers at Microsoft, and apparently they didn't even email people.
It's on an internal portal that is currently crashing under the traffic 🙃
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

Lars on the Cybercab production line in new interview:
"We actually don’t run the line every day because the line can run so fast it’s currently outpacing our robotaxi deployments, so it’s a bit of a race right now to see who can go faster.”
The full video is now live on @YouTube!
A big thank you to @larsmoravy, @EricETesla, and the rest of the Tesla team for taking the time to walk us through the Cybercab and share the engineering, design, and technology behind it.
