Meta plans to =
release its first smartwatch sometime this year.
Code-named Malibu 2, the=
smartwatch will offer health-tracking tools
along with a built-in Meta A=

Microsoft's Project Silica is a working demonstration of a system

of =
over a Gigabit per cubic millimeter. The system can write up to
4.84TB in=
a single slab of glass of 12cm x 12cm x 0.2cm in about 150
hours. The ma=
in draws of the technology are that it takes no energy to

glass also offers ext=

its vaccine available =
this year, pending FDA approval. The reason for
initially refusing to rev=

established flu vaccine Moderna used=
for comparison in its Phase 3
trial, which the FDA said did not reflect =
the best-available standard
of care, but the agency ultimately signed off=

MISCELLANEOUS
AGAINST TASTE (26 MINUTE READ) [16] =
The taste thesis actually proposes a fundamental demotion of human=

understa=
nd it didn't exist - there was patronage, an intimate
relationship betwee=
n capital and artistic labor. The patron
commissioned work rather than se=
lected from finished works on a wall.
The taste thesis reverses this orde=

every type of activity. The Softwa=
re Industrial Revolution will lead
to an explosion of bespoke software ac=
ross every industry and niche.
The fact that we'll no longer build softwa=

will build and use much more of it. Everything i=

<strong>Microsoft's new 10,000-year=
data storage medium: glass (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Microsoft's Project Silica is a working=
demonstration of a system that can read and write data into small slabs of=
glass with a density of over a Gigabit per cubic millimeter. The system ca=
n write up to 4.84TB in a single slab of glass of 12cm x 12cm x 0.2cm in ab= out 150 hours. The main draws of the technology are that it takes no energy=
to preserve data and the data can be retrieved rapidly if needed. The glas=
s also offers extreme stability, with experiments suggesting the data would=
be stable for over 10,000 years at room temperature.

<strong>FDA reverses surprise rejec= tion of Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
The FDA has now agreed to review Modern= a's mRNA flu vaccine after the company held a formal meeting with the FDA a=
nd proposed a change to the regulatory pathways used in the application. Mo= derna hopes to make its vaccine available this year, pending FDA approval. = The reason for initially refusing to review the application was based on th=
e established flu vaccine Moderna used for comparison in its Phase 3 trial,=
which the FDA said did not reflect the best-available standard of care, bu=
t the agency ultimately signed off on the trial design. Moderna has agreed =
to add a comparison of high-dose vaccines to some older participants and pr= ovide the FDA with additional analysis.

<strong>Automate repository tasks w= ith GitHub Agentic Workflows (13 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
GitHub Agentic Workflows is now in tech= nical preview. It allows developers to build automations using coding agent=
s in GitHub Actions to handle triage, documentation, code quality, and more=
. Developers describe the outcomes they want in plain Markdown, add it as a=
n automated workflow to their repository, and it executes using a coding ag= ent in GitHub Actions. This makes entirely new categories of repository aut= omation and software engineering possible.

However, building great software was never about how = fast code was generated.

<strong>Against Taste (26 minute re= ad)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
The taste thesis actually proposes a fu= ndamental demotion of human agency. For most of human history, the concept =
of taste as we understand it didn't exist - there was patronage, an intimat=
e relationship between capital and artistic labor. The patron commissioned = work rather than selected from finished works on a wall. The taste thesis r= everses this order and places man at the end of the chain of creation.

<strong>The Software Industrial Rev= olution (17 minute read)</strong>

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Before the Industrial Revolution, the a= verage person only owned a few pairs of clothes, usually made by hand. Now,=
there are very few people who make clothes, but there are thousands of app= arel companies for every type of activity. The Software Industrial Revoluti=
on will lead to an explosion of bespoke software across every industry and = niche. The fact that we'll no longer build software by hand means that we w= ill build and use much more of it. Everything in the economy that touches s= oftware is about to fundamentally and radically change.
