A few months ago, Apple released FastVLM, a Visual Language Model (VLM) that offered near-instant high-resolution image processing. Now, you can take it for a spin, provided you have an Apple Silicon-powered Mac. Here’s how. When we first covered FastVLM, we explained that it leveraged MLX, Apple’s own open ML framework specifically designed for Apple Silicon, to deliver up to 85 times faster video captioning, while being more than 3 times smaller than similar models. Since then, Apple has wor

PSA: There’s now a companion podcast! We go into way more detail on YouTube / Spotify! I have now watched hundreds of founders’ sales calls. And in every single founder’s call, I find the same foundational error playing out in a thousand different ways. It causes the founder (and the potential customer) a world of pain. If you feel uncomfortable selling, or if your sales calls don’t feel smooth, this is probably why. We all seem to have the most basic misconception about sales, a backwards ide

Is AI the end of software engineering or the next step in its evolution?

The first time I used ChatGPT to code, back in early 2023, I was reminded of “The Monkey’s Paw,” a classic horror story about an accursed talisman that grants wishes, but always by the most malevolent path — the desired outcome arrives after exacting a brutal cost elsewhere first. With the same humorless literalness, ChatGPT would implement the change I’d asked for, while also scrambling dozens of unrelated lines.

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the
