Teams Grow Organically

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three. What’s surprising is how rarely these structures reflect reality. In practice,

I love Nothing’s Android phones, but it’s getting harder to trust them

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Since the launch of the Nothing Phone 1 in 2022, Nothing has marketed itself as “not like the other phone brands.” From product design to offbeat videos showing CEO Carl Pei reacting to reviews, the company has constantly tried to demonstrate how it stands apart from other smartphone makers. However, Nothing has recently been involved in a photo-fakery scandal. Between this latest controversy and previous ones, it’s clear that Nothing isn’t really different from

No-code website builder Framer reaches $2B valuation

Framer, a no-code website builder that claims over half a million monthly active users, has reached a $2 billion valuation after raising a $100 million Series D funding round led by existing investors Meritech and Atomico. This double-unicorn milestone comes at a time of hype for website builders — including direct competitors like Figma, Squarespace and Wix, as well as rising ‘vibe coding’ platforms such as Cursor and Lovable. In 2023, Framer raised a $27 million Series C led by Meritech at a

Mysterious Object Headed for Inner Solar System Has Extremely Unusual Readings, James Webb Finds

Our solar system's latest and only third known interstellar visitor is becoming more fascinating by the week. Spotted in early July, the object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, is widely believed to be a comet. It's traveling so fast that one look at its speed was enough to let astronomers know that it came from untold thousands of light years away. And it may even be older than our entire solar system. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has turned its mighty eye — specifically, its Near-Infrared Spectrogra

With recent Falcon 9 milestones, SpaceX vindicates its “dumb” approach to reuse

As SpaceX's Starship vehicle gathered all of the attention this week, the company's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket continued to hit some impressive milestones. Both occurred during relatively anonymous launches of the company's Starlink satellites but are nonetheless notable because they underscore the value of first-stage reuse, which SpaceX has pioneered over the last decade. The first milestone occurred on Wednesday morning with the launch of the Starlink 10-56 mission from Cape Canaveral, Flori

Investors are loving Lovable

In Brief Investors are clambering to get onto Swedish vibe-coding startup Lovable’s cap table, making unsolicited offers of investment that value the company at more than $4 billion, reports Financial Times. Lovable CEO Anton Osika isn’t currently engaging with the flurry of inbound, the Times says, which comes a few weeks after the startup announced a $200 million round at a $1.8 billion valuation in a deal led by Accel. A Lovable spokesperson told the outlet the company isn’t fundraising now

Why Apple is fighting legal battles in two countries over 13 cents per iPhone

Apple is engaged in legal battles in both the UK and the US over 4G patents used in its mobile devices. The company has applied for permission to appeal a UK verdict which would cost it an additional 13 cents per iPhone. While this might sound crazy, the company says that very much more is at stake, not just for its own business, but for companies of every size … Three quick pieces of jargon In order to make any mobile device, you need licenses to use a whole bunch of patents. These patents a

NVIDIA is (really) profiting from the AI boom

NVIDIA has revealed that its revenue for the second quarter ending on July 27 rose 56 percent compared to the same period last year, and that's without shipping any H20 chips to China. It reported a revenue of $46.7 billion and a net income of $26.4 billion. As CNBC has noted, the company previously said that H20 shipments to China could have added $8 billion in sales to its second quarter figures. Instead, the company was only able to release $180 million worth of the chips to a customer outsid

The startup bubble that no one is talking about

The startup bubble that no one is talking about August 28, 2025 Figure 1 Above is a graph that displays the amount of Form Ds filed, where the entity (read: company/firm) name contains the phrases "fund I", "fund II", "fund III", and "fund IV". The x-axis is not the prettiest, but it is broken down by quarter. You can see that the line for "fund I" sees by far the greatest peak around quarter 3 of 2022, with a steep drop off immediately after. The other lines have a similar, but less pronounc

3 problems with Google’s AI energy use data

“We’re not comfortable revealing that for various reasons,” Dean told me on our call. The total number is an abstract measure that changes over time, he says, adding that the company wants users to be thinking about the energy usage per prompt. But there are people out there all over the world interacting with this technology, not just me—and what we all add up to seems quite relevant. OpenAI does publicly share its total, sharing recently that it sees 2.5 billion queries to ChatGPT every day.

Windows 11 Update KB5063878 Causing SSD Failures

Hi r/msp, Just want to share a word of caution. I've observed several threads across r/Windows11 and r/sysadmin that are reporting that the latest Windows 11 security update (KB5063878) is linked to SSD failures/data corruption, particularly during large file operations (50GB+ transfers, large PST/OST files, etc.). Here are some of the relevant conversations: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1mst8au/windows_11s_latest_security_update_kb5063878_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows1

Did Nvidia Just Pop an AI Bubble? Here’s What the Market Says

Lukewarm second quarter results from AI powerhouse Nvidia (NVDA) Wednesday have Wall Street bros and the analysts that love them catching all kinds of feelings. Long a bellwether for how the market views AI in general, the largest company in the world carries enough weight in its $1 trillion valuation to move entire indexes, let alone the tech sector. That was especially the case over the last two weeks, when handwringing over what Nvidia would say in its second quarter results on Aug. 27 reac

Microsoft fires two employees over breaking into its president’s office

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators hold banners and signs as they protest outside the Microsoft Build conference at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, Washington on May 19, 2025. Microsoft on Thursday said that it had terminated two employees who broke into President Brad Smith's office earlier this week. The news comes after seven current and former Microsoft employees on Tuesday held a protest in the company's building in Redmond, Washington, in opposition to the Israeli military's alleged

OpenAI Says It's Scanning Users' ChatGPT Conversations and Reporting Content to the Police

For the better part of a year, we've watched — and reported — in horror as more and more stories emerge about AI chatbots leading people to self-harm, delusions, hospitalization, arrest, and suicide. As the loved ones of the people impacted by these dangerous bots rally for change to prevent such harm from happening to anyone else, the companies that run these AIs have been slow to implement safeguards — and OpenAI, whose ChatGPT has been repeatedly implicated in what experts are now calling "A

Nvidia results show spending on A.I. infrastructure remains robust

“The last year, A.I. has made tremendous progress,” Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, said during a call with analysts. He said the company’s chips would benefit as spending on A.I. infrastructure increased to $3 trillion to $4 trillion by the end of the decade. “We’re in the beginning of this build-out,” he said. Shares of Nvidia fell more than 2 percent in after-hours trading. The decline, even when the company now posts quarterly profits bigger than tech peers like Apple and Meta, spo

AI Bubble Watch: Nvidia Shares Skid on Middling Q2 Results

OpenAI Admits Safety Controls ‘Degrade,’ As Wrongful Death Lawsuit Grabs Headlines

ChatGPT’s safety guardrails may “degrade” after long conversations, the company that makes it, OpenAI, told Gizmodo Wednesday. “ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Gizmodo. In a blo

Delivery Companies Around the World Stop Shipments to the US: Here's Who's Affected

Primary shipping services, including the European branch of DHL, multiple European state postal services, Australia Post, Japan Post and Taiwan's state postal service, have stopped shipping consumer goods of varying amounts (over $100 in some cases) to the US. The pause is currently expected to be temporary as countries respond to the latest US tariff measures, but could have a significant impact on US businesses selling anything from Taiwanese GPUs and Japanese card packs to European electronic

Crystal Dynamics announces layoffs, but says Tomb Raider will not be impacted

Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the recent Tomb Raider games, announced an unspecified number of layoffs today. In a post on LinkedIn, the game developer kept the size of the cuts vague, only stating that "a number of our talented colleagues" would be impacted. In what's becoming an all-too-familiar refrain, the company cited "evolving business conditions" as the reason for the layoffs. "This decision was not made lightly," the post reads. "It was necessary, however, to ensure the long-term

Google has eliminated 35% of managers overseeing small teams in past year

Google has eliminated more than one-third of its managers overseeing small teams, an executive told employees last week, as the company continues its focus on efficiencies across the organization. "Right now, we have 35% fewer managers, with fewer direct reports" than at this time a year ago, said Brian Welle, vice president of people analytics and performance, according to audio of an all-hands meeting reviewed by CNBC. "So a lot of fast progress there." At the meeting, employees asked Welle

911 centers are so understaffed, they’re turning to AI to answer calls

When Max Keenan joined Y Combinator’s summer 2022 batch, he was working on Aurelian, a company that automated appointment bookings for hair salons. But less than a year later, a conversation with one of his clients led him to a far more significant problem. A nearby school’s carpool line was constantly blocking the parking lot of one of Aurelian’s hair salon clients. The salon owner called the city’s non-emergency line and was put on hold for 45 minutes before reaching a dispatcher. “She called

Founder of IRL social media app charged with defrauding investors

The founder of the company behind the IRL social media app was charged with defrauding investors of $170 million in the company's 2021funding round, the Department of Justice said Wednesday.
