My first time at the Armory for a show. Tammy’s been before. Cool venue. Waiting for Lord Huron to play.

Tammy and I went on a 2.92 mile walk in 53.8 minutes (18.42 min/mile) walking the road from Paoli to Verona. 🚶♂️ 
Working with Claude Code to get the deployment working for what I created yesterday. In many ways the deployment to AWS is much harder than creating the thing!

A brand new AI startup with great pedigree and a $12 billion valuation.
"Thinking Machines Lab, a buzzy AI startup founded by Mira Murati, raised $2bn in new capital, valuing the firm at $12bn. Ms Murati has recruited an impressive roster of researchers from OpenAI, where she was previously chief technology officer. That helped to persuade Nvidia and AMD, two giant chipmakers, to invest, even though the firm currently lacks much of a strategy (or revenue). — Economist, World in Brief, July 16, 2025"
These numbers make the “dot com” bubble look like nothing. https://www.economist.com/business/2025/06/25/ai-valuations-are-verging-on-the-unhinged

I’ve been getting great responses from Claude lately and using it even more than ChatGPT. I’m wondering if ChatGPT’s memory feature doesn’t make it a little “over fit” to the user. Claude seems to have an easier time coming up with fresh ideas. So interesting.
Big Green Egg class!
