I came from Australia more than 20 years ago expecting a tech mecca. What I live with instead is sunshine, redwoods, a reservoir trail 10 minutes from home and voice AI that lets me work on a walk, about an hour every other day.
When I order takeout, I sort Tony's Slice House, State of Mind, Pizza My Heart and Amici's into tiers, then let my appetite for something adventurous make the call.
I rarely remember to order it, and it's not even on my top 10 list. But when a place seems to know its quiche, I think a slice is worth trying.
I don't know much about sport. Before a Monday night game, I used an AI system called Banter to learn the basics, enough to hang with my brother-in-law.
Trump's order directs agencies to consider mortgage cost changes, but experts say savings depend on implementation.
Where might the order reduce mortgage costs?
While packing the dishwasher, I talked through what could happen on Bonzai after someone hits publish: an open door at the end of each story, roll-ups that connect contributors and niches where sharing feels like talking to trusted colleagues.
My co-founder and I got a voice-first publishing prototype working in less than a week. The harder idea, still untested with outside users, is helping people in niches from steam trains to diffusion models answer one another.
Our proposal: an open door at the end of each Bonzai article and an AI journalist that follows the reader's lead. One press handles the mechanics. Trust and a free minute, like mine at the dishwasher, may decide who walks through.
For a school project, I built a golf version of skee-ball out of cardboard and tape in my garage. Then almost all the kids ran to it, with both my parents there to see it.
Philadelphia voters will decide whether to make the city’s arts office permanent after decades of changes under successive mayors.
What should a permanent city arts office prioritize?
Parallel agents and twice-daily reviews with my co-founder, Jeff, got a voice-first prototype working in less than a week. With funding in mind, we're positioning Bonzai as a platform, not a publication. The ease I wanted is still a design intention; we have yet to bring in cold users to see what they get from it.
On a camping trip, Jeff Tannenbaum introduced chess to his son as a war game of soldiers and rules. His son, whose attention wanders at school, now plays during recess. He also plays kids much older than he is.
